wellness (55)

If you’re like most people, each year, you lay out your strategic plan for living healthier. Once the year starts, the plan starts to change. Despite the best intentions, you can't always anticipate how life’s challenges, demands, obligations and relationships will change what you’ve outlined for implementing healthier lifestyle habits. So, what’s the solution for staying on track in 2010? You have to lay out a general plan but also have a targeted lifestyle infrastructure in place. That’s what you’ll need to make sure you’re able to adapt as internal and external priorities and initiatives change.For those times when you become overwhelmed and frustrated with thoughts, feelings and activities that revolve around a busy schedule, a stressful job, a contract that ended unexpectedly or didn’t materialize, a ministry that is stalled, the rumors of job layoffs, an unfulfilled relationship, a pending divorce, the memories of an unresolved past, a medical condition, and/or a mountain of bills to contend with–you must have a strategic plan in place that addresses them without impacting your follow-through. If you don’t, the idea of eating healthier and exercising will inevitably and continuously be placed on the back burner. There will never be enough time in the day to exercise or prepare a home cooked meal, get a sufficient amount of sleep, drink the appropriate levels of water, or get that much needed annual physical examination.Now is the time for you to sit down at your kitchen table and focus your attention on how you’re going to maintain consistency with living healthier in 2010. The road to a healthier you begins with the following four tasks: (1) conducting a self-examination of those things that challenged you in 2009, (2) developing a strategic plan for how you’re going to align living healthier with new pursuits and challenges, (3) implementing your strategic plan that outlines specific goals, and (4) routinely conducting a self-evaluation to identify areas for improvement. You must proactively leverage your living healthier initiatives to protect your strategic plan from the threats presented by life’s uncertainties and distractions.One of the most important transactions you’ll make in 2010 will be to develop, and implement your strategic plan, and to evaluate it routinely to ensure you remain focused on achieving your healthy living goals all year long.This health and fitness message is provided for your consideration only.

Pointers on Losing Weight Safely

People who want to lose weight commonly, and first of all, think about reducing the amount of food they eat. This may be quite a solution but not exactly the best there is. In fact, depending on the amount you reduce in your food intake, it may even be dangerous to one's health. So how does one lose weight effectively and safely? Here are some points one should consider when trying to lose weight:Beware of the Crash DietsMost people think that trimming down the calories can alone shed off their unwanted excess. Probably this is because of the fad there is in advertising about low-calorie food products and beverages. What people don't know is that this could be dangerous because when they decrease their calorie intake way to below the required levels, the body begins to digest the fats. Sounds good but it doesn't actually. Burning fat requires a lot of energy. Since there is not much energy in the body to facilitate metabolism of fat, it will run at a very slow pace resulting to fatigue, illness and weak immune system.Low-calorie diet is also compensated for by the body by burning muscle. People on this type of diet who revert back to their old eating habits end up gaining back some, if not all the weight they have shed off. This would consist mainly of fats. And since fats have more volume per mass than muscle, they end up having the same weight as before but more bulkier. In losing weight, one should keep in mind that they should lose excess body fats only.However, one can try out eating small meals at more frequent intervals. This way the body will not think that it is being starved and will not store food as fat.Eat ProperlyOne may have considered junking the crash diet option but he should also not forget to watch what he is eating. Variety must always be considered so that one may be able to get the necessary nutrients from his diet.It is also healthier to eat food which are roasted, steamed or broiled rather than fried. It is also important to include a lot of fiber in the diet. Frequent rehydration is also necessary.Pump Up lean Muscle MassMuscles burn calories when they work; they even do so at rest. Unlike fats which just lie around, bulge around the pants and dangle beneath the sleeves, muscles burn calories all-day round. With this fact, one can start weight loss by increasing muscle mass. The more muscles, the less fat will be left. This is attainable starting with working out with resistance exercises.Engaging in AerobicsAerobics are not only good for the heart by increasing cardio-vascular endurance. Aerobics also help in increasing lean muscle mass while simultaneously decreasing excess body fat. Aside from these, aerobics make the metebolic process more efficient and its rate high, even after a long while. Imagine burning fat efficiently while driving along the freeway or even while watching television.On Taking Diet PillsOver-the-counter diet pills affect the amount of weight one loses as well as how long one keeps that amount of weight off. However, one must be wary of the side-effects of these diet pills. As such, one must faithfully follow the instructions provided for in the packaging. It is also prudent to consult the physician anyway before trying out these drugs and also to find out which type would be best for the individual.Losing weight does not have to mean sacrifice and suffering. It actually means opening up to a more full and healthy life where one may not have to feel bad about himself having to look the way he does or not being able to do what he wants to do. Losing weight might entail a little adjustments plus the discomforts, but as the old saying goes, "no pain, no gain." Besides fat, what has one got to lose anyway?For a healthy, safe and natural alternative weight loss program visit: http://yvonnecarson.appetizerdiet.com.

You are better than that.

Did you know that you are a wonderful work of art, created by God? Did you know that all His works are excellent? Know that you are special, blessed and loved. God created us “fearfully and wonderfully…” His word tells us so. And do you know what that means? That means that you are good enough just the way you are. That’s not to say that we should become complacent and not strive to become the best person we can be. In order to give our best we must be our best. It’s that simple.We are children of the most high, our daddy owns everything. He is King of Kings. We can have, be and do anything that we desire. He told us so. Jesus said that He came so that we may have life and have it more abundantly. Optimal health and wealth, prosperity; it’s all ours for the asking and for the taking. Just sayYes! Say Yes to God, He will lead you, He will guide you. He will put joy back in your heart, love back in your soul. Deliver you from sadness, depression, low self esteem; you can have that great life.He is calling us higher and wants us to do a good work. And we can. As mothers, we sometimes place ourselves on the back burner. We stop dreaming, we sometimes stop living with passion and drive, we stop being the women that God wants us to be. We place all our energy on our families, and none on ourselves. We give them our best, or so we think, and don’t give ourselves the best. We can’t afford to do that any longer. Our children and our families need us to dream, to live on purpose. They need us to be healthy, wealthy and wise. If we are denying ourselves the simple necessities, then we aren’t healthy.After having my children I completely took myself out of the picture. I stopped living my life. I lost myself. I became sad, and depressed. I stopped caring for myself. I didn’t do my hair, I stopped exercising and eating healthy, as a result I gained about 50 lbs. My business was suffering to the point where I had no clients anymore. Now I was even more depressed and my self esteem hit rock bottom. I hit rock bottom.Everyone noticed it, I noticed it, but I didn’t do anything about it until I took a hard look at my children and their innocent faces. My son, who will be 4 in a week, he would notice the sadness on my face and he would often asks me “Mommy are you ok? It’s going to be alright.” That broke my heart. I didn’t want him or my 2 year old daughter to take on the burden of feeling that they had to take care of mommy. I saw how selfish I was being by not giving them the best mommy they deserved. I am my daughter’s example of what a woman is. I am the example of the type of woman my son will someday marry. I didn’t like the woman I was and had become. Drastic measure needed to be done. I was not being the type of woman that God created me to be. I am fearfully and wonderfully made, what is wrong with me? That’s when my transformation back to life began.As women we have strength, we have power, everything we need is within each and every one of us. We don’t have to beat ourselves up any more. We are ok. The sooner we start believing that this is true, the quicker we can start enjoying our lives. It’s not selfish to love ourselves. It’s not selfish to put ourselves first. It is however to very selfish to not share the best of who we are to those who need us the most. Our children will benefit and thrive at having a mom that is balanced mentally, physically and spiritually. They’ll see and feel the difference in the way we talk and the way we walk. They’ll be happier and you’ll glow at the smiles that will be on their face when they see that you are living a joyful life. They in turn will live a joyful life. We’ll notice how each day will seem just a little bit brighter, in spite of what we may be going through.We are wonderful creations of God, we were made in His image. Let’s step forward and walk in our excellence everyday.I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:14 NIVLove yourself. Live well. Be empowered.Daphne (CEO/Founder Eshe…)Your Sistah in Spirit!www.eshe.soulpurpose.nethttps://daphneporter.youngevityonline.com/

Live a life of Self-care

What is a Self Caring Lifestyle?Self Care is exactly what it sounds like. It is the caring for self. It's not being selfish. It's being aware of the fact that you can't give what you don't have. If you have no sense of self and how to love on self than how do you expect to give it to others. I had to learn this. I put all my time and effort into my children and my family that I took no time to just work on me. This made me stressed out, irritable and just not the joyful person that God wants and expects me to be. It carries over into every aspect of your life. It's a journey not to go back, but well worth it. When you are being your best then you can give your best. You're a better mother, a better mate, friend, sister; you are just a better person.Self care is about more than tending to the physical, which can be getting your hair or nails done.It's about more than grooming. Self care emcompases the Mind, Body, and Spirit. When you choose to take part in activities that nurture, renew and fortify all three of these elements of self, than you are not only practicing but living a Self Caring Lifestyle. Self Care takes care of the inside as well as the outside, it's a lifestyle not a hobby.We'll take a further look at what needs to be present and the steps we can take to begin our journey to a Self Care Lifestyle.Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NIV)Imagine Life...Be Empowered...Live on Purpose!DaphneYour Self-care Sistah / Lifestyle Entrepreneurwww.eshe.weebly.comwww.eshe.soulpurpose.netwww.divawithsoul.blogspot.com
