Unleash Your VitalityYour Guide To Natural Health, Personal Fitness & Lifestyle Freedom

How would you like to *guarantee* your upcoming success in every area of your life?

What I’m talking about isn’t some ancient practice of manifestation from the past. What I’m talking about here is how your mind – and your body – both adapt to new challenges through a natural growth response. A perfect example of this is found in weight training. If you go into the gym and lift 40 lbs x 6 reps during your workout for the first time, your body is going to respond to that challenge by building more muscle – and more strength – to accomplish the same task easier next time.

Where it gets tricky is here: most people haphazardly lift the same weights workout-after-workout, week-after-week…sometimes even month-after-month. While this is great for being active and getting a sweat to clear out toxins and get the lymph system moving, it’s not providing a stimulus for growth (keep reading). Anyone who gets consistent results with weight training will tell you that you need to either add more weight to your lifts, or increase the number of reps per set. Small, consistent increases over time continually provide that stimulus for growth…and the results that go with it.

While this is all well and good, what’s the real importance in YOUR life? You may or may not be inspired by the idea of weight training and consciously sculpting your body, so here’s some of the good stuff: applications to YOUR life.

Examples-In-Action: “The Growth Response”

* Career/Vocation: If you continue doing the exact same job at work, day-after-day, you’ll continue to stay right where you’re at. If you love what you do and are happy with your financial condition, you can choose to focus on other areas of your life that may be drawing your attention! If not, however, realize this: you need to challenge yourself and GIVE MORE VALUE to provide that growth response. If you consistently give more value over time, your income will rise – one way or the other. If you’re in a career you love, your satisfaction will also grow through providing more value to others and yourself. Read the rest of this entry »

Picture yourself sitting over your desk with a neat stack of papers in your hands. It’s evening time, you’ve just winded down, and now you’re taking some time to review your progress over the last week and month.

Your progress?

Incredible.

Something happens when we take the time to write down our progress and track our results. There’s an instantaneous psychological shift that drives us to make more powerful decisions. It’s almost like as soon as you commit it to paper, you’re keenly aware of the chance that someone else may see it at some point down the road – whether on purpose or by accident. So, naturally, you’d like it look good :)

When we track our progress in any area of life, our awareness of what it is that we’re doing changes – and, following that, our results. Just ask anyone who has studied in the area of Time Management. As soon as you track every activity of your day, you become aware of exactly what it is that you do everyday…as well as how much time you dwindled away on things that didn’t really matter to you.

It’s the same with our personal finances. People with spending problems get on track and start using a monthly budget and are SHOCKED to see what they’re actually spending money on each month. The same exact principle applies to your health. I’d like to focus on the two key areas that matter the most: nutrition and personal fitness. Read the rest of this entry »

You know that feeling you get after a huge meal (think big dinner or Thanksgiving-style meal)?

That feeling is making you tired and irritable, heavy and bloated, missing out on everything that life has to offer. What kind of life is that? The only thing on your mind right now should be HOW to turn it around and start experiencing radical amounts of energy everyday.

Energy to start your day. Inspiration at work. Feeling turned on and activated when you get home to do all the things you really wanted to do – but often couldn’t find the energy to get done. It’s all an energy game- to do the things we want to do, we need the drive to do them. That drive is born of the mental AND physical energy we have at any given point in time. A key tip? Increasing your physical energy through the meals you choose to fuel yourself with simultaneously increases your mental energy and ability to get things done in your life.

Back to that heavy, tired feeling… Read the rest of this entry »

I’d like to focus exclusively on your health here for a minute.

What kind of results are you experiencing today? Are you feeling inspired and full of energy all the time? Are you satisfied with your body and level of personal fitness – or at least working hard towards that end? Or do you feel lethargic and beat down, worn out? Out of shape and not feeling like you’re at the top of your game?

The single most important thing for you to realize is that right now there are countless people experiencing exactly what you’re experiencing; but even more important, there are countless people experiencing the exact OPPOSITE of how you’re currently feeling. Grasp the real importance of this: if you’re feeling tired and “out of it” all the time, stressed out and falling out of shape, there are countless others who have turned that around in their lives and found themselves with boundless energy and inspiration, the body of their dreams and an incredible state of health and overall vitality. You can do this, and it’s entirely possible for you.

On the other hand, if you’re experiencing incredible health right now…just realize that your daily habits have taken you there. Never take your daily habits for granted, but rather maintain and continually build upon them in new, exciting ways. You know where you stand on this scale. With 1 being a state of chronic disease and 10 being a state of incredible, luminous health and vitality, where would you place yourself on a scale of 1-10? Ground yourself and realize that this is just your starting point on a path that will lead you beyond what you ever thought possible.

This becomes possible for you through your DAILY HABITS. Your daily habits are the actions you take consistently every day that either move you progressively forward or progressively backward. Your current daily habits are the cause and effect that determine your health, fitness and energy levels. All of the results you’re experiencing today, and will experience in the near future, stem from your current daily habits.

Let’s pull out the magnifying glass. Read the rest of this entry »

Welcome back :)

Before you begin, you may want to review last week’s post with a quick scan of the eyes (or read it if you haven’t had a chance yet!).

We left off talking about how your beliefs determine the results in every area of your life; your beliefs set up your expectations, which then determine your behaviors (the actions you take)…what’s left is the RESULTS you see in each area of your life.

So did you get a chance to really think about what kind of results you’re seeing in each area of your life? What kind of expectations do you have for various areas of your life? Did you even pick up on a few beliefs you feel like you might have?

Because you read on and proved to me that you’re here to learn, I’m going to give you a valuable secret I learned early in life:

“Typically when you reevaluate something, your belief about it changes” Read the rest of this entry »

I’m not sure.

You may be the type who just read the title above and started nodding your head in agreement. You know, on a core level, that this is something true and important, and you’d like to go deeper to get some results from it. Or you may be the type of person who just rolled your eyes but decided to read on anyway- because there was one spark, one glimpse that there may be something important for you personally on this page.

This post is for both of you.

The truth is, your beliefs – whether you chose them consciously, picked them up from your parents and relatives, or even from friends and teachers in school – determine the results you’re seeing RIGHT NOW in every area of your life. There’s a large lie out there that whatever you’re experiencing right now is just temporary, and you’re “just on the tip” of breaking through in all of the areas you’d like to see more progress in. That feeling of being “just on the tip” of breaking through is a result of the beliefs you’ve held in the past and continue to hold now- and it’s responsible for the actual lack of results you’ve been noticing lately.

Now, don’t get me wrong. Whatever you’re currently experiencing right now IS temporary…but only if you choose to take up the initiative to change it. What happens is that most of us get caught in never-ending, vicious cycles that we always think are just about to end (day-to-day, week-to-week, year-to-year). It’s like your neighbor’s dog chasing after a car that you know it’ll never quite catch. Everyone on the outside can see it- just not the one “in the game” themselves.

Let’s take a look at this on a deeper level. Read the rest of this entry »
