  Steps to Success...What's your excuse? Steps to success.

What's Your Excuse?

Hi Friend,

This morning, after a really good night's sleep, I woke up feeling refreshed, fired up and ready to take on the world.

Every had one of those days when it feel like...nothing can touch you?

Now that I'm in the mood to inspire you, let's talk about how excuses reinforce limitations.

Well, I plan on delivering a power punch so I'll accept no excuses...because a lot of people prefer a good excuse to a good opportunity.

The other night, I over heard a conversation between a close friend about his son's wife.

She weighs close to 140 kg or 308 pounds.

She has a husband and kids she's supposed to be responsible for...but she's so unhappy, stressed and obese she is a ticking time bomb, a heart attack waiting to happen, and not to mention diabetes has already gripped her body with other health problems as well.

And she has a whole list of good excuses to back-up her situation.

Like she said whenever she goes out to lunch and dinner, which is almost everyday with her friends...and she finds it difficult to eat rabbit food because it's unfulfilling.

So....she eats fast food on the run.....she's a big lady and is quick to point out that she works hard and deserves to enjoy big meals....and all the rest of it goes along the same lines with an equally big list of excuses to match her appetite.

My friend says when the problem is positioned with good excuses, the excuses then reinforce limitations.

For example:

Confidence and self-esteem...well, nobody ever got either one making excuses.

You can get evolve as a person by using excuses.

Look, it's easy for somebody to make a lists of reasons why it won't work or can't be done. And it's so easy to become a maker of excuses.

It's easy to pass the buck and let things stay as is, but it's not easy and actually not much fun holding yourself accountable, refusing to let yourself off the hook.

Truth be told, you don't wind up happy and fulfilled.

There's a saying that everything happens for a reason and you don't end up anywhere in life by accident. Every point of arrival is the result of a crapload of choices made during the journey.

Ironically, the more successful you are in life, the less likely you are to have anybody else calling you on your b.s...

So...if you're going thru life with your eyes closed and not asking why? You've got to get off the excuses bandwagon and as Nike says...just "do it".

Why?

Because you're most likely holding too tight on your list of excuses waiting for that perfect opportunity one day...when you'll make the grade.

In your next article I'm going continue talking about "no excuses and no limits".

Bon voyage!

  Confidence self esteem...How useful is confidence in a stressful situation? Confidence self esteem


Hey Friend,

How are you doing, thanks for reading today's short but sweet article.

This morning, I noticed this guy hunched forward looking at what seemed like a report card.

The next surprise during my workout was the same, rather angry man losing it.

But now he's walking towards me, waving his arms up and down, smoke and fire fuming from his nostrils, yelling and screaming:

"What the heck works and why doesn't it?"

I kept thinking..."daisy's happy and full of life", man is he a little bit pissed off or what!

Anyway, I bet every radio station picked up on the ear piercing language within a 5 mile radius.

I could remember every word...clear and sharp.

Then he stood there with a bright red face, shaking his head and waving his fist like he had just stood on a nail.

I won't go into all the hilarious details, but let me say TV shows had nothing to offer compared to the real thing.

I thought maybe he wasn't tapping into this blog or something like that :-)

Believe it or not...this simple advice can even improve your life.

Healthy food and lifestyle tips for young people should be encouraged:

• Eat a variety of foods
• Eat regular meals and snacks
• Eat food they like, when they like it
• Plan meals ahead of time
• Eat in moderation
• Remember - there are no good or bad foods

Young people can be encouraged to eat with awareness, yet it all sound unbelievable.

It WORKS.

Please send me some feedback, I want to show him proof that feeling amazingly good isn't isolated to just a few folks.

The message will be simple and appealing:

• Eat when you feel hungry
• Listen to your hunger mid-morning and afternoon
• Listen to your body signals of comfortable fullness after eating
• Eat slowly and really taste each bite of food
• Say, 'No thank you' when you have eaten enough
• Eat a little more if you are still hungry after a meal
• Be aware of when you eat for reasons other than hunger, and don't feel guilty...

Ask yourself these questions to stimulate you to make choices about exercise and get involved with some form of physical activity:

• What type of physical activity do you like?
• What type of physical activity are you already doing?
• What type of physical activity would you like to try?
• Who do you like to exercise with?
• Remember to do activities you enjoy and have fun
• Do the ones that fit in with your lifestyle

Flip through this blog and pick out the self-improvement stuff to set the example for others to follow.

Thanks for sharing...here's to your continued success.

  Confidence self esteem...What gets you going? Confidence self esteem

"It's tough to get ahead when you waste your time getting even." -Lou Holtz -


Hey Friend and Lifestyler,

Thanks for your time, you're much appreciated.

Sometimes you need to remind yourself that confidence (a sureness or trust of oneself) is a skill that you...or anyone can improve and benefit from!

Alright..."I ain't going no more" - Rocky -

In the context of your personal development, there are a lot of empowering ways to KICK-OFF your confidence and self-esteem that get immediate results, but I'm all for simplifying things even further...

A while ago, you asked for a recommendation describing how you can break free from the grips of the so called "guru syndrome."

What the heck is a "guru syndrome"?

Is it some sort of a fairy tale...

Well, glad you asked, you see several times a week I'll get phone calls and comments that say:

"blah, blah, blah...this guru is better than that guru, and then they'll go and on about stuff for one reason or another!

Have you responded enthusiastically and told me that:

"I suck so I'm not going to read what you've gotta say anymore?"

Why?

Is it because one guru is better or smarter than the other guru?

Look, "I feel confident, relaxed, and open to whatever the day may bring."

Just ask yourself...

Why would someone like you express interest, go to all the trouble of calling or sending for information, see what a terrific opportunity this is to learn, then stop?

Of course, I can understand those problems, and by the way, I enjoy writing this blog whether you choose to read it or not, I'm a very fortunate, well-to-do, secure individual...

So all of this scared, and anxious talk isn't a good investment of your time or energy and it's not going to get your confidence and self-esteem anywhere, but nevertheless it's interesting and highly amusing to me.

Humor your brain, okay?

Give it some happy food to chew on.

Allow your mind to mull things over subconsciously by choosing to make a positive behavior a trigger for a particular thought.

The trick is to be intentional about it...so we can get right to the important stuff (smile)

Today, like any other day (big grin)...like you, I obviously pay attention to what you others have to say, and truth be known, I tell it like it is.

For example:

Most of what you have to say, let me put it this way...it's all pretty good stuff and I want to encourage your feedback.

Just bear in mind, I want us to work together and I'm doing my best to give you hard earned life experiences from multiple inputs and I offer you different perspectives.

I get a thrill from helping people and your success stories mean a lot to me.

In fact, the truly successful person doesn't need to play the guru game...its a boring routine!

What every so called guru has gotta say is in the context of his or her own experiences and by the way, that can often change from day-to-day.

Please let me suggest something that just might shake your guru tree because I want you truly operate on as an individual.

Remember that your mind doesn't sort thoughts into neat piles marked "real" or "imagined."

Everything goes in and is processed in the same way.

You feed your brain what you want to believe and beacuse we all do a great job of spooning in the negative thoughts, why not dishout a few positive ones?

Prove to yourself that you're ready to look for one good thought to keep you ahead of the game.

You want that edge...in other words you listen and pay attention to what multiple people have to say, but you also realize that no one expert has all the answers.

If you buy into the one "guru" then you're basically shortchanging your progress and ability to adapt as a healthy and balanced individual.

Although you're under no obligation to do anything...

I trust you're reading my personal messages because you beleive I care.

In fact, I want to step up to the plate and improve your results in a big way, and that you're here for that reason, not just hanging around to "belong."

Choose your triggers and select a certain habit or activity that you engage in every single day.

You can go out blaming or complaining ("bitching and moaning") about others perspectives and that 's a surefire way to increase that sense of belonging, but it really doesn't give you anything of value...does it?

The truth is you want to be successful, so study all the gurus, and take what they've gotta say in the context of your own personality, desired outcomes, and most importantly, your own wisdom and experiences.

It's easy to get caught up in the negative thought cycles we've all developed during our lives.

Our brains already know the "I'm never going to get ahead financially" story and the "No matter what I do, I can't lose this weight" story.

Our minds are getting way too many repeats of the "other people fulfill their dreams, but not me" story.

This is not what gives you the continual confidence and self-esteem or what many gurus refer to as the "edge."

Only you can give yourself the edge, (authority, the power or right to give orders) that allows you to be the successful individual you want to be, instead of just belonging.

So I ask you: "what gets you going?"

And who gives you the authority to act...is it a guru or a reliable source?

If you don't like what you see or hear, you're smart, get the edge and keep one step ahead, why waste your time getting even?

Just turn the page...new story, and most of all, be happy, enjoy and have lots of fun!

More power to you.

  Confidence self esteem...Body image and how this affects what you eat? Confidence self esteem

"Defeat doesn't finish a man--quit does. A man is not finished when he'sdefeated. He's finished when he quits." - Richard M. Nixon -

Body image can be described as the mental picture you have of yourself…

Hey Friend,

Now, as the saying goes:

"I’ve got good news and then I’ve got not so good news."

The good news first...thanks, I appreciate the quality of your feedback and the questions you've been asking are spot on, so keep up the good work and I highly encourage you to post your comments after reading each lesson.

It just goes to show you're smart and wise with your time, you value good information and the opportunity to increase knowledge...find out more about your personal development.

I have to admit too, I can't get enough, it's a very fascinating and addictive subject, well worth diving deeper.

(And it sure pays to be a member of this newsletter)...wouldn't you agree!

How do you see and feel about your body image, size and shape?

Today I want to share with you what I’ve found are both good and not so good influential factors in body image and self-esteem and how this affects what you eat.

For starters, body image, self-esteem and food behavior plays an important role in young people's development…

And these days the push for the ideal body image for girls is to be slim, while for boys it’s to be lean, strong and muscular.

Many young people feel immense pressure to fit these body stereotypes and dieting, bodybuilding and abnormal eating patterns are common amongst young people today.

What’s of major importance is the impact this is having in particular the extremes some young people will go to achieve the ideal body image.

For example:

I was talking with an attractive young lady, her name is Jennifer Francine, and she told me as far back as she could remember, food has served as her security blanket.

Whenever she felt hurt, depressed, lonely, or stressed out about her body image, she'd use food to temporarily block out the negative emotion and anxiety, but over the years, the pounds kept piling on which made her feel worse about herself.

I asked Jennifer if she wanted to take control of her life, and said you know it is going to take much more than a quick-fix diet to solve your problem permanently.

Jennifer kind of looked sideways at me and smiled, so we got together and I showed her a better way to deal with her emotions in relation to food and within 2-3 weeks Jennifer said:

"I actually began noticing dramatic changes in my attutude, I felt totally relieved to finally be able to stop stuffing myself, even having a good laugh about feeling comfortable in eating smaller portions, and I'm actually in control of what I put in my mouth for a change."

"I noticed that I began feeling comfortably full and it was so easy leaving food on my plate on a regular basis and I was eating much smaller portions. Needless to say, the pounds are coming off quickly and it didn't involve a lot of effort on my part."

The not so good news...

Emotional eating isn't confined or an isolated case, I’ve spoken to many people and researched this subject for quite some time now and have found some very disturbing and alarming trends.

It's shameful and irresponsible, there are websites out there actually supporting and promoting the virtues of severe dieting and eating disorders like anorexia and the use of steroids.

Body image can be described as the mental picture you’ve of your own body and how you feeling about the size and shape of your own body.

The way young people perceive their body can be influenced by feedback from others including peer groups, modeling, socio-cultural values, education about the body and the media.

Talk to young normal females and you’d be shocked to find very few are happy with their body shape, and will try to lose weight, even if they are already a healthy weight.

On the other side of the fence, younger males usually have a desire for muscles and height, and will go to the gym to bulk up and try protein supplements or even steroids.

Self-esteem can be described as one's feelings of high or low self-worth.

Self-esteem is linked to how comfortable you feel about your body shape.

Natural body shape is largely determined by genetics, and although it is hard to change your body type with exercise and healthy eating patterns, it is possible to re-shape it slightly.

Three main body shapes have been identified:

1. Endomorphs usually tend to have rounder body types, with more body fat and softer curves.
2. Ectomorph predominately are slim, less curvy, a little more angular.
3. Mesomorphs are muscular, with broad or wide shoulders and slim hips.

Suggestions on how to improve body image and self-esteem:

• Treat your mind, body with respect and love
• Make a list of your assets, talents and contributions.


• Relax and enjoy the unique characteristics you have to offer.


• Make friends with the person you see in the mirror.


• Learn to appreciate the many different sizes and shapes that human beings naturally come in.


• See that there is beauty and strength in all bodies.


• Wear clothes you enjoy and feel comfortable in.


• Go through your wardrobe and give away everything that doesn't fit.


• Appreciate what your body does for you, thank your legs for carrying you around and your arms for being able to embrace someone.


• Experience the joy of moving your body freely.


• Find physical activities you love doing, for example, dancing, gardening, walking or sports.


• Acknowledge your emotional needs and your right to have these met.


• Challenge negative comments about your body.


• Be critical of messages that say tell you that to be happy and successful, women need to be thin and men need to be muscular.


• Stand tall: watch your posture.


• Prepare assertive responses to negative comments from others.


• Pick something you've been putting off until you are 'perfect' and do it now!


• Be patient. Healing your relationship with your body takes time.

Appreciate yourself and your body - you only have one, and it's your home for your whole life.

Don't forget that you are a unique individual.

Go with your gut, trust your instincts and focus on what's most important to you.

Move in the direction you feel will drive the right kind of reward and results you want.

Never make a decision that can lead to compromising your own authority, and values because the choice is always in your hands.

Take a chance and go with your heart but test it with your mind...and if you look closely and think hard enough, you'll realize...what's stopping you?

Unfortunately not many people realize, or are even aware of the existence of these secret methods which I'll be revealing in my next exciting episode.

Look out for it. It's going to be wildly fun for you.

Thanks for your valuable time and support...talk soon!
