3 Quick Health Tips

When it comes to exercise and healthy living in general, the amount of information that can be found online is overwhelming. We live in a fast pace world and we need fast pace answers that will solve our problems as quickly as possible. These tips I’m about to give you are “The top 3” wellness tips you NEED to know.

1. Exercise is 90% Mental/Emotional & 10% Physical

Most of us have a vested interest in our misery. We become addicted to our unhealthy habits and we are happy in our unhappiness, at least it makes us feel safe to say we can predict a similar future. If we want growth in our lives, we MUST shed our old skin. This usually happens after a traumatic event in our life that forces massive change, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

Make a point of taking small, consistent positive change. START A JOURNAL and each day write down your daily exercise accomplishments. NOT TOO BIG, maybe start with a 10 min hike up the hill by your house every day for a week. Your ego won’t freak out and feel like you are threatening it’s existence, sabotaging you back into you old patterns. Congratulate your self with a big glass of water and write down your progress in your journal. Each week add a bit more intensity and duration.

2. Fat loss = Calories/Day + Frequency

This is a tough one for those busy bees that live at work. If you have a job that requires a lot of your time then planning healthy snacks through out the day is imperative. Cook lots of food every evening and portion out small meals into tupperware. Bring them to work with some fruit and nuts and snack every 2 hours. This will help to speed up your metabolism and start your bodies natural fat burning fire.

Write down all your healthy snacks in your journal and after completing 3 healthy snacks in 1 day congratulate your self with a big glass of water. This may seem childish but so are your bad habits and unhealthy lifestyle practices. This RECORD & REWARD system works every time.

3. Water your seeds

Once you have decided that you are going to make some awesome changes that will make your life better by optimizing your wellness, you have to continue watering those thoughts with your emotional energy. That means “doing the little things” like writing down your daily diet in your food journal. Bringing your attention to your accomplishments on a regular basis will help to remind you that you are improving. After a few weeks these seeds will begin to take root and become a part of your new healthy lifestyle pattern.

Trick your self into developing POWERFUL habits that will transform your life experience, enhancing every area of your life from relationships, mental focus and courage to energy, longevity and well being. “Every passing moment is another chance to turn it all around”.
