Your best asset is a smile and your best defense are positive, like minded people! Set about finding your tribe! It won’t happen overnight but it will happen. Be generous and positive towards others. We attract what we give. We’ve had a preponderance of the “me” generation. It’s time for the “we” generation.
Today I was asked what I would eliminate from a habitual morning breakfast. The options were a) maple syrup b) fresh berries or c) butter. To most people’s surprise I answered, “I’d keep the butter for sure!” Of course in my mind I’m thinking of the highest quality butter, that’s from grass fed happy cows! Think it over! Saturated fats in moderation are not the villains they once were. And for the record I’d skip the maple syrup.
Statistics may matter but not to me. For everything I want there’s a statistic to tell me I shouldn’t want it! Get married? 50% failure rate! Start a business? 3 out of 4 don’t make it! Get fit? Your family genetics don’t support it! Statistics lump you with the average. Who the %*$# said I’m average?
Each day take small steps towards your big goals! Otherwise it’s a lot of wasteful thinking! No one has time for that!
If you’d treat your body like a successful business you’d find that you rarely have to start over again in health or fitness. A business takes time to grow and may have learning experiences disguised as setbacks. A successful business requires focus, resources, and commitment. A successful business plans for the future. Treat your body like a business and reap the success!
If most of us went on an organic diet we’d save money in the long run and probably lose body fat! Hear me out….by paying a little more for your food you’d place more value on it and not waste it. Chances are you’d eat a little less meat and sub in more beans and vegetables as organic meats tend to be a bit pricier. Your medical bills over time would be reduced because we know that excess body fat is linked to a number of self inflicted maladies. Finally, with large consumer demand the prices of organics would decrease. It seems like a winning strategy for us and the earth!
My goal is to help you work around these legitimate reasons for skipping your self care until we figure out a way to work through it! Let’s keep it reasonable and guilt free!
In my blog I hope to compel you to lead Your Vibrant Life! It will be my version of what I know so far about health, fitness, and nutrition. There might be an occasional off topic rant…. I’m human after all. We only have this one life so I will try to separate fact from fiction, hype from truth, and what’s reasonable as you navigate your health and fitness life!
The Clean Life Includes:
The truth is, the more muscle you have means the more fat you burn at rest! In order to build muscle you are going to need to move around, pick heavy things up and put them back down again. Get moving!
