Change Your Mind and Change Your Life! Provided by Global Health & Fitness But, contrary to many
people's notions, your beliefs are not just a bunch of thoughts confined
to your mind. Your beliefs are interwoven into your body and spirit
as well. Have you ever gotten a "sinking feeling" when you heard
bad news? Have you ever felt like you were hit in the stomach when a lover
did you wrong? That's how we humans are
built. We're multi-level, multi-dimensional beings, and to ignore that
fact while we try to make changes is to guarantee failure. And that's also
why you should never try to change your beliefs through mental processes
alone any more than you could change your weight through physical
processes alone. Instead, you need to take the much more powerful
approach, by involving your body, mind and spirit in all you set
out to do. So, if it's a new experience
of life you seek--even on the physical level--you need to begin the
process in your mind. Your mind is the control center for your behaviors,
and your behaviors are what determine how you look and what you
accomplish. If your current experience of yourself is not to your liking,
don't run off to the gym or seek out the latest diet. The secret of your
success is much closer--between your ears. If you want to change
your life, start with your mind! How To Become A Success
Story I sincerely hope this has
been time well spent for you. Life is simply too short not to understand
how our own minds and bodies work, or to be wasted on activities that can
never get you where you want to go. I wish you total success in
the coming year! Sincerely, Dr. Frank B.
Smoot, DD, MA GHF's Success & Personal
Growth Coach Hot new trends are constantly
cropping up in every aspect of our lives, from fashion, food, and music,
all the way to fitness. Which sizzling new trends are right for you?
Whether you are looking for a fun new exercise to spice up your fitness
program, or ways to reduce stress, lose weight, or enhance your sports
performance, you should know the benefits and risks before you start. Tae-Bo
- Hot New Exercise If you are looking for a
tough, new aerobic exercise, this might be the right one for you. Created
by karate champion Billy Banks, Tae-Bo combines Tae Kwon Do, boxing, and
dance set to hip-hop music. A typical class consists of a choreographed
series of jabs, punches, kicks, and dance steps. Tae-Bo is a combined word. Tae
means "leg" in Korean and refers to the kicks and lower body
workout, while Bo is derived from "boxing" and relates to
the punches and jabs in the upper body workout. This sport attracts a fair
number of women for its strength building and because it works the glutes,
inner thighs and triceps. You should know:
Yoga
- Something Old Yoga, as you know, has been
on the scene for about 6,000 years now. However, in our modern, stressed
out world it has become a popular and widely accessible form of exercise. Yoga is a wonderful way to
stretch, increase flexibility and strength, reduce stress, and relax body
and mind. The gentle stretches and postures are accompanied by deep steady
breathing that improves blood circulation, soothes the nervous system and
increases vitality. People of all ages can practice yoga and it is readily
adaptable for people with disabilities or special needs. Power
Yoga (Ashtanga Yoga) - Something New Power Yoga, on the other
hand, is new. Building on the traditions of classic yoga, it adds a
cardiovascular element. While traditional yoga
employs a series of slow, gentle stretches, Power Yoga involves strong,
flowing movements synchronized with your breathing in such a way as to
provide a hot, high-energy workout. The rigorous choreographed sequence of
poses definitely makes you sweat, adding endurance and weight loss to the
long list of yoga benefits. Some proponents feel that the
intense strength and flexibility aspects of Power Yoga make it an ideal
conditioning as well as injury prevention and rehabilitation program for
athletes. You should know:
