"It's your choice" 
Greetings!
 
Dr B MakennaIt's Summer time and we get a lot of people who want to know how to look better in a bathing suit.  If your a fan of "The Biggest Loser" you can see the secret to an amazing body on almost every episode.  It's really very simple but it requires a certain level of commitment and discipline from you.
 
Every person who has ever transformed their body has committed to three things:
  1. Commit to a routine and always show up! 90% of making the changes you want will happen if you just show up to the gym or park with the intention to work out.
  2. Add 45 minutes of Cardiovascular Exercise. Every reality show that makes huge body changes has people moving and sweating.  I can tell you from personal experience if you are not committing to a good cardio routine you are not tapping into your fat burning metabolism.  Your heart rate needs to rise and your body needs to sweat. Do this one thing and I will guarantee you tighten your body.
  3. Know how many calories are going into your body.  The mechanism of weight gain is simplistic, the emotional food triggers can be complex.  Your body is like a machine.  It takes in fuel and either burns it,expels it or stores it.  You certainly need to eat good food to be healthy, but to lose weight it's about caloric intake versus calories burned.
 These are three quick tips that will make a difference 100% guaranteed.  Let me know if you are interested in a weight loss seminar or more information.

Are you at a point in your life when you are searching for what you can do to make a change in yourself that will be profound and improve all other areas of your life?  You may want to start by following a few principles that have been passed down for centuries by some of the greatest minds to ever grace the earth:
  • Don't compare yourself to others possessions, looks or accomplishments."You don't have to blow out someone's candle to make yours shine brighter!"
  •  Don't judge others.  By judging others you are making assumptions based on your own limiting beliefs."Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves." 
  •  Be sincere in your thoughts, actions and deeds."Any emotion, if it is sincere, is involuntary" 
  •  Have an open mind, and an open heart."It is lack of love for ourselves that inhibits our compassion toward others. If we make friends with ourselves, then there is no obstacle to opening our hearts and minds to others." 
  • Forgive yourself & have the courage to forgive others."To understand everything is to forgive everything" Buddha
  •  Pain is sometimes necessary for people to grow.
  • "We cannot learn without pain."  Aristotle
 
At last indulge your curiosity by asking a few important questions:
What can I do today to improve the quality of my life?
What is my purpose?
What gifts do I have I can share with the world?
What is stopping me from pursuing the life of my dreams?
