How to Have a Positive Mindset  More Often Than Not “Gratitude is one of the sweet shortcuts to finding peace of mind and happiness inside. No matter what is going on outside of us, there's always something we could be grateful for.”  ~ Barry Neil Kaufman Being positive does more than just uplift your mood it is also highly beneficial for your emotional state of mind, physical health and well-being. Just as positive thinking has a direct impact on the body so does negative thinking, it weakens the immune system, causes emotional turmoil, ruins relationships and even causes weight gain. Eva Ritvo, MD, vice chair of the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Florida and co-author of The Beauty Prescription, says that positive thinking improves your mental health and reduces stress.  "When you are optimistic, people are attracted to you. This leads to healthier relationships, more ...

FRIDAY FITNESS TIP How to keep a diet journal... To achieve your weight loss & fitness goals sooner log everything you eat each day. Plan ahead by writing down the night before each meal & snack and the time in which you plan to eat on the left side of a piece of paper (you can use a simple notebook for your diet journal) and then follow through with your meal plan the following day.  Then the next day when you eat write down the time and what you ate on the right side of your meal plan. Also, write a positive affirmation about how awesome you are at the top of each page and read it each time you log your meals & snacks.  At the end of the day when you see that you honored yourself you will feel empowered and proud of yourself, and soon you will be living your dreams!   ~ Carol Whitaker

TUESDAY FITNESS TRIVIA  True or False Eating simple carbs after a tough strength training workout with whey isolate protein will increase protein synthesis resulting in a leaner, sculpted physique. This is TRUE! Proteins are large organic molecules that are made up of smaller units called amino acids. Linking of many amino acids in an orderly manner to form a particular protein is called protein synthesis. Simple carbs spikes insulin which is used to shuffle the much needed amino acids & nutrients in protein into your hard worked muscles.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY...    LET GO OF THE PAST! Did you know that you are the only one standing in your way of achieving that which you desire? If you struggle with keeping your word to yourself or find that you self-sabotage your efforts then you need to let go of what's holding you back.  When we have negative, resentful feelings of ourselves or of others it is a power low energy of resistance to that which is wanted which will continue to attract more reasons to be worried or have feelings of resentment. Like always attracts like in all things, it's the Law of Attraction in action.  If you want more love in your life then you need to let go of the past, and forgive those that hurt you. By playing the negative memories over and over in your mind you become the victim and the perpetrator, you become a prisoner in your own mind.  Replaying hurtful movies continually only cements fear beliefs in your subconscious mind which causes you to mentally cre...

THE POWER OF MEDITATION “You have powers you never dreamed of. You can do things you never thought you could do. There are no limitations in what you can do except the limitations of your own mind.”   ~ Darwin P. Kingsley The power to control your mind is one of the most empowering things you can do, it will literally shift your vibration to a higher energy frequency to enable you to manifest the life of your dreams. We were all born with the innate ability to create our lives intentionally; however, many of us have lost the connection of living in harmony with our higher-selves, our true essence, which is the fuel to rocket our desires to manifest into your reality and rather than living our dreams we’re just enduring our life experiences.  

How Exercise Increases Feel-Good Hormones We all want to feel happier and more carefree. It’s too often that we allow stress to overrun our lives. Many of us struggle from day to day just to feel good let alone feel excited about life. Well, I’m happy to say that there’s a natural way to get a “natural high” otherwise known as “feel-good” hormones and that comes by exercising at least 3 to 6 days a week.  If you’re new to living a fit lifestyle, not to worry,  you don’t have to jump in head first into a fitness program, that will only overwhelm you, which may set you back even further once you become overly exhausted and fatigued from being unconditioned.

The subconscious mind is infinite in power and is your greatest tool to create your life on purpose.

You can change your life to become happier, have inner-peace, joy and love just as your heart longs for.  You can transform your life no matter what your past, how you were raised or what your current circumstances are.

TIPS TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS   "The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them." ~ Denis Watley Have a vivid imagination is the first step to create the life of your dreams. When you desire to improve your quality of life that an awakening from within expressing to your conscious mind that change needs to take place in your life.  Setting goals, an action plan and then following through is the pathway to reaching your wildest dreams. Understanding how to shift your mindset to enable you to create and then manifest your dreams is essential. 

MY PERSONAL BODY TRANSFORMATION "If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it." - William Arthur Ward Who doesn’t want to be healthier & happier?  I don’t know a single person who doesn’t want to improve their health, fitness level and have more abundance in all areas of their lives.  Everything we do in life is to make us feel better by having more peace, joy and happiness.   Each of us desires to be happy and healthy, after all, that is why were created—to have joy! I understand all too well what if feels like to be sick, exhausted, emotionally drained and out of shape.  Over 20 years ago I was one of the millions who desperately wanted to be healthy and fit. 

  SUPERFOODS FOR ANTI-AGING & LONGEVITY We all want to live longer, healthier more fulfilling lives.  But we can't if we're filling our bodies with processed foods, sugars, high sodium and trans fats all the time. To turn back the hands of time choose wisely what you feed your body.   Just like a race car, if you put in poor fuel you will have poor results from your car's engine; however, if you fuel your race car with racing fuel your car will utilize it's engine optimally.
