The Golden Rule

Blog Day 61 Monday January 30, 2011

“The Golden Rule”

Day 61)

From the time we were children we’ve been taught about “The Golden rule “. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If you stop and think about what that really means you will have a different perspective on how you should really treat people. How do you expect to be treated? What common courtesies do you expect when you encounter someone? Do feel like you should catch the raw end of someone’s bad day? So as you go through your day and you encounter another person keep these questions in the forefront of your mind and you will see the difference it makes. It is good for your health. You can do it! We believe in you!

“Weekend Overview”

Day 58-60)

Over the course of the last week we have talked about keeping your chin up, pin pointing issues that hang you up and attitude. All of these issues, if not properly handled can cause you too slowly fall into behaviors that will keep you bound and unable to reach your goals. Steer clear of this way of thinking and reaching your goal will be inevitable. You can do it! We believe in you!

Show the love!

“Show the love”

Day 57)

I am sure that you are familiar with the expression “now is a good a time as ever”. Well as the month of January comes to a close the month of February is fast approaching. We want to encourage you to “Show the love”! Why wait? Now is a good a time as ever. Scientific studies done by Dr, Wayne Dyer, author of the book the Power of Intention, show that a single act of kindness increase serotonin levels and strengthens the immune system. Serotonin gives a feeling of happiness and being at ease. These studies have also shown that a single act of kindness not only affects the giver and the recipient, but it also affects bystanders who witness the acts of kindness in the same way. So imagine how many people can be affected by a single act of kindness. Be the one to make an impact and show the love! It is good for your health. You can do it! We believe in you!

Making a decision make a lifestyle change is easy however; applying the changes to our lives is a little more complicated. It is important to remember that the way that you look at your change is crucial. If you look at it in a negative light you set yourself up for failure. Keep a positive attitude. You will feel better and you will be closer to accomplishing your goals. So keep up the good work. You will get it! You can do it! We believe in you!

“Weekend Overview”

Day 44-46)

Over the course of the last week we have talked about getting it together, keeping it simple, relaxing and resting. So no matter what you have to do it can be incredibly stressful on our bodies, but it doesn’t have to be. Listen to your body! It is telling you that it needs. It really is as simple as it sounds. It requires some discipline on your part. Put aside old habits and move forward.

You can do it! We believe in you!

Day 43)

As you are in the process of executing your tasks, be sure that you don’t stress yourself out. Here is a tip to help you. “Relax!” Make it a point! Go get a massage or a mani-pedi. Take a long hot bath. Just be kind to your body but more importantly listen to it when it tells you it is stressed. It will tell you what it needs. So go ahead and relax!

Rest

“Rest”

Day 42)

We have so much to do throughout the day, it is almost impossible to get everything done. One of the most common mistakes that we make is that we will forfeit sleep in order to get things done. The best advice I can give you is to “GET SOME SLEEP! “. Studies by the University of Chicago Medical Center have shown that a lack of sleep reduces the capacity to perform basic metabolic functions such as processing and storing carbohydrates or regulating hormone secretion. Studies have also shown that sleep deprivation also effects brain function and behavior. So in essence a lack of sleep will shut down your body.

So go to bed!

Get it together!

“Get it together”

Day 41)

So by now you have probably assessed all of the things that you have planned to do. I want to remind you not to be discouraged. Take the time to organize each project prior to beginning them. Make your plan, a list of supplies and if necessary make a budget. Do some research on line of “do it yourself” projects, but the most important thing is to stay on task. Don’t lose focus. Get it together. You can do it! We believe in you!

Here is a simple solution to this problem. Keep it simple. Don’t make things so complicated. Make your plans or your list and execute them. Take your time. Don’t rush to get it done. You can do it!

Day 34)

Good morning beautiful! Wipe the sleep out of your eyes…a new day has come! Day 3 of a new year. Time to get to work! You may have already made some decisions as to what you want to do different in 2012. You may have a mental list of thing that you want to do and it may seem overwhelming to you. That is ok…it doesn’t have to be. Here is a tip that may help you manage your list. There is a scripture in the bible that say to write the vision and make it plain. Now whether or not, you believe in the bible or what is written in it, there is wisdom in the principle.

Take the time to write down all of the things that you want to do in 2012. Make it a list of things you really want to accomplish in the next 11 months. Then write down how you plan to make this happen. Bear in mind that your list may change throughout the year. Circumstances may arise that will set you back, but don’t be discouraged. It is a process. If you want it…get after it. Anything worth having is worth working for.

Make it happen…you can do it! We believe in you!

Happy New Year!

“Happy New Year”

Day 33)

As we close out 2011 we watch it become a thing of the past. We leave behind memories, relationships, hardships and heart aches. For some of us 2011 was a year of transition. It was a year of stretching and a year of learning and as we look to a new beginning, 2012 equals a clean slate, a chance to begin fresh or to start anew. This is the time that we look on making resolutions. We resolve and make decisions that are going to change our lives for the better.

Whatever it is that you want to change in 2012 the most important thing is that you resolve to follow through with your decision. The choice to change is not nearly as important as the follow through. Make it happen…You can do it! We believe in you!
