Success Can Be Yours!

Why do people wait for the New Year to start over? Why wait? Why keep making excuses for your life? It’s time to wake up!!!! You aren’t guaranteed next year, next month, next week or tomorrow for that matter! What is a person to do? Here’s a start: 

Wake up each morning grateful to be alive! Take some deep breaths and start your day!

Exercise first thing in the morning, that way it’s out of the way and you won’t make excuses later on to not work out! 

Limit yourself to one; no more than two cups of coffee. Be mindful of what you put in it. Not all creamers are good for you! 

Eat healthy 85-90% of the time starting with breakfast daily. Yes, breakfast is the most important meal of the day! 

Eat every 3hrs or so. It keeps your metabolism going, keeps your energy levels up and regulates your blood sugars! 

Eat with the seasons! 

Stop eating when full. Don’t eat when bored, stressed, or angry. Get in touch with your emotions. Write in a journal. 

Try meditation. It helps reduce stress. Start with two minutes and work your way to 15minutes. It’s quite calming. 

Make sure you sleep! Each individual body is different. Try to get 6-8hrs if you can. Need a new mattress? If it’s been 10yrs since your last purchase, it’s time for a new one!

Those are just some of the things to do for health. Don’t wait another day to start getting healthy! So what if you had a burger, fries and a beer. You get to make a choice of making the next meal a healthy one! YOU make the CHOICES! Planning and preparation is the key to living a healthy lifestyle. You have to stop making excuses. Start living your life in a healthy way and you will have success in life! Don’t overhaul at once. Small changes add up! You can do this!

Think of it from the Turkey's Point of View!!!

Gobble Gobble! It's turkey day tomorrow! No matter if you are hosting or going to someone else's home, try not to sweat the small stuff! Traffic is backed up for miles? Don't sweat it, turn up the music and sing! Uncle so and so is loud and obnoxious? Shove a turkey leg in his mouth.. just kidding! You can think it though and laugh! The point I'm trying to make here is, think of all the things you are thankful and grateful for! Look around you. Are you surrounded by family and friends? Feel the love! Embrace it! There is no room in anyone's life for jealousy, hatred, judgement, or anger. Let it go! Forgiveness is for you; not the other person! Free yourself starting today.

Are you running around like a turkey with it's head cut off preparing for tomorrow's feast? Try not to stress! If you are, take a moment, have a seat and take deep breathes. Everything will turn out fine! Think of it from the turkey's point of view.. at least you aren't getting stuffed from behind and getting shoved in an oven! Happy Turkey Day!
