Last day of May's Month of Health Awareness!

Maybe, I will take a refreshing walk today.

Maybe I will not eat fast food at lunch for a change.

Maybe I will eat some nice fruits and vegetables today.

Maybe I will stretch every part of my body while breathing deeply,
bathing all the cells of my body with life sustaining oxygen.

Maybe I will not eat directly before bedtime, allowing my body to
cleanse and rebuild as I sleep.

Or maybe I will neglect my health and disregard all forms of self
discipline.

Everything has a Purpose...

And it doesn't always have to be moving forward.

Rest has a purpose, the revitalize and rejuvenate.

So does exercise, it gets the body moving the way it was meant to.

Eating has a purpose, to replace the cells that need consistent
replacement that involves virtually all the cells in our body.

Giving or serving others...has a powerful purpose, as we all know.

If we are purposeful with our purpose - the rest falls into place.

Give me some water!

Our bodies are mostly water and we should really replace about 2.4
liters of water through drinking and the foods we eat, or take your
body weight, cut it in half and that's the amount of ounces daily, of fluid intake recommended.

But many of us follow this daily program:

Breakfast: Coffee (diuretic - which usually gets rid of more fluid than
is consumed), and toast or a bagel.

Lunch: Soda (diuretic) and a sandwich.

Dinner: - Wine or alcohol (diuretic) and meat and potatoes.

Where is the water?? In practice, I found
the less water one drank - the more health challenges they had, with
virtually no exceptions.

Exercise should get the...

Body moving and the mind to slow down.

In the last century, we have transitioned our daily routine from our
bodies doing most of the work, to our minds doing most of the work.

It's due mostly by advancements of machinery and technology and we've
become more of intellectually driven society compared from a physical,
task driven society...

In keeping up with the shift, we need to focus on balancing our minds
and bodies to attain the "right mix".

So giving a break to something that seems to be always engaged - our
minds - while we get the other thing working - our bodies - is a great
plan to balance out what needs to be balanced out.

Usually, nothing comes today...

But today.

And that's the very reason we need to keep at it - for the things we
want.

We like to call it - "Focus - Time - Repetition".

"Focus" on what we want, give it "Time", and with "Repetition" - we can
achieve anything.

Want a better body? Great - "Focus" on what will make it better, give it
'Time" and then "Repeat".

The same is true for anything in our lives, business or personal.

Yours in "Focus - Time - Repetition" - Coach

Does it hurt?

If it does - it usually means one of two things:

1. We are either doing something that is not right for our body.

2. Or we are pushing our body past it's previous "Limit".

That's the fuzzy part. When we are doing something not right for our body,
our innate alarm system rings the bell, and says we have gone too far
and damage has either occurred or will occur, if kept up.

But when we are pushing ourselves past our comfort zone in the attempt
to do what we haven't done, or taking it to the "Next level" the same
alarm bell rings.

So we just need to be mindful of what is causing the bell to ring, or
we can cause damage...or sink back into our comfort zone - both
resulting in what we don't want.

We have to train our...

Body and our minds, otherwise our body and minds are not trained.

May sound a bit rhetorical, but it's true.

Our minds and bodies are a "clean slate" when we are born.

So it's up to us on how we train them. We have the choice of training
them with "good" stuff which help us grow positively, or "bad" stuff
which will lead us down hill.

That's the beauty of it...it's all up to us on how we train - and the
results will follow.
