What do you belief? Part II

Many people limit their potential by how they use their mind. They allow negative thoughts to enter their mind and weaken their strength both physically and mentally. How much you accomplish and don't accomplish in your life will come down to the way you use that 3 pound muscle called your brain. In most cases we don't know how much we are capable of until we are pushed beyond our limiting beliefs. The previous post introduced you to Victory; if you visited her website you should no longer have excuses.

The following video will demonstrate what you are capable of when you don't know your potential and you stop making excuse and try.  Think about your own limiting beliefs and how they are holding you back from living up to your potential.

What do you believe? Part I

Yesterday met Pauline Victoria. You most likely have never heard of heard but if she's a little lucky you will. You see she is one of the people trying to get her own show on the Oprah network. Yes Oprah is giving a way a show for some lucky person to have. The winner is selected based on who got the most votes by a public pole. I voted for Pauline because she had the most remarkable story and message of hope and possibility.  Here story is about the power of a dream, what is your dream?

Pauline was born with no arms or legs and that  did not stop her from living a wonderful life. As a grown women she has accomplish things that would make the average person go WOW. And she doesn't have arms or legs. And you were complaining about what? You said you couldn't do what?

The Frog in the Pot Principle

This is not funny but important to your life.

What bad health habits do you need to change  right now. The Frog Principle demonstrates how slow changes in your life can go unnoticed until it is to late. Examples are overeating until your doctor says you have diabetes; not exercising until you are overweight/obese; not being health conscious until heart disease; not managing stress until you get hypertension; and not visiting the dentist until gum disease.  

But, the most dreadful of all bad habits are pessimistic, negative self defeating thoughts; this one habit is at the root of most of all the issues one will suffer from. Take some of the students in some of my Kaplan classes; because it is the final week of classes with final exams and term papers due many of them are worrying and even saying things like my paper is really bad or worst I will probably fail this class. This negative self talk makes you fat, sick, and dumb (See June 21 post "Stress Management Techniques), and their grades will probably prove it. It is true that you reap what you sow, and this starts in your mind with your thoughts.

What happens to the frog happens to most people that wait to long to start paying attention to their health and fitness.   

Are you guilty of any of these bad habits and need to change right now?

Importance of Humor - The worlds funniest joke

Humor is one of the most powerful free tools you can use manage stress and your health. When Freud studied humor he concluded it was the most advance human mechanism for simultaneously decreasing pain and gaining pleasure. Today humor is used as therapy and theorist agree that humor has medicinal effects meaning it can be used as medicine in some cases. Studies show humor promotes mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being

An article written several years ago in Psychology Today says that the average person laughs about 15 times a day.  Considering all the stress most people are under today in the 21st Century I bet that quota should be raised to around 30 times a day.

To help with your laugh quota here is one of Readers Digest 30 funniest jokes in the world. But I must warn you if you don't find this joke funny it might be an indication you have a humor deficiency and require either counseling or medication. So here is the joke:

A priest, a minister, and a rabbi want to see who's best at his job. So they each go into the woods, find a bear, and attempt to convert it. Later they get together. The priest begins: "When I found the bear, I read to him from the Catechism and sprinkled him with holy water. Next week is his First Communion." 
"I found a bear by the stream," says the minister, "and preached God's Holy Word. The bear was so mesmerized that he let me baptize him." 
They both look down at the rabbi, who is lying on a gurney in a body cast. "Looking back," he says, "maybe I shouldn't have started with the circumcision."
