Healthy Living 101

[Vegas69]

That's one hell of a great payoff Tony. I suffer from some pretty wicked allergies but my nutrition overhaul didn't eliminate them, it did help me retain more energy. Believe it or not, Vegas has some pretty potent allergens due to the wide variety of plants from all over the world used in landscaping.

It's been a while since I've checked in on my thread. I've continued with my disciplines in nutrition, excercise, and personal development. I don't think I've missed a workout all year. (4 min. per week) I'm 165lbs and approx. 12% body fat. One thing I can tell you has changed this year is my recovery from burn out. I tend to push to hard all around. Solid effort at the office, personal development through reading and cd's, excercise, and personal interests. I don't like to rest but it's crucial to listen to your body and mind. In the past, I'd get burn't out for week, two weeks and so on...This year I've been able to recover in a day or two. The decrease from 5-6 workouts to 4 has made it easier, but sometimes you just can't cram any more information into your brain. It's a good time to let it flow. Sit down and have a in depth conversation or write in a journal.

Three of the many things I've been working on lately is how I feel about other people, how I think they perceive me, and not speaking negatively about others.

Instead of assuming the worst, give them a chance until they prove you wrong. Don't come to conclusions without all the facts. This one has been tough for me as I'm breaking a life long bad habit. I have been doing alot better. I'll give you a minor example: I was following a truck down the freeway last week and a couple pieces of paper flew out the window. My first reaction was, what a scum bag to litter up society. Then I thought, maybe he rolled his window down and it flew off the dash? Who knows but assuming the worst isn't a postive influence on your life.

I'm a bit of a perfectionist to some degree and I have a tendency to think that people have a more negative perception of me than is fact. It's mainly an issue with clients. Could I have done this better, followed up after the sale more often, blah blah blah The truth is that a majority have a very positive perception of me and I've been picturing it that way lately instead of the contrary.

When my Grandfather died, my Dad wrote one of the eulogies. He said, "He never spoke negatively about others his entire life". I'll never forget that fact and that's how I remember him myself. That is one quality I really want to cement. It's to easy to get sucked into conversations at the office or in certain circles. Choose the high road.....

Lastly, is a Jim Rohn video. It's one of my many favorites. It's absolute GOLD and every American could stand to watch it and apply the principals. I do.....
