Find Fun Ways To Move More
If you’re able to walk, find excuses to do so.
Don’t worry about how far nor how long; just find a way to move your body a little further.
If you can’t walk, stand up for a few minutes each hour. If you can’t stand, move your arms and hold in your stomach.
Not only does getting out of your chair help you stay (or get) fit, but it burns a few calories, it reduces bone loss, and it holds back a myriad of diseases.
And remember it’s virtually impossible to feel sad or angry when walking briskly.
(Try it the next time you’re upset. You’ll see that’s correct.)
Think Smaller for Better Results
Note: We recently launched of a seminar series, “Five Things You Must Know To Make Your Life Better.” As part of that series, one of the things we went over were the “10 Commandments of Changing Habits.” This is one of those “commandments.”
Thou shalt think smaller
You have made the process of changing too big and too complicated. You created your life in small, almost invisible steps. That is the way you will change it.
It sucks, but it’s true.
Lessons from a Child
She was dressed in pink sweatpants with the word, “sweet” emblazoned on her diaper-clad bottom.
On her feet were brown clogs. Atop her head was a wool, knitted, patchwork cap of pink, yellow, and red, giving her a pastel “Rastafarian” look. However, instead of dreadlocks wrapped within, a waterfall of blonde, bouncy, curls framed her wide-open blue eyes and light complexion.
In her chubby, small, right hand, she carried what used to be a cookie; now, however, all that remained was a half eaten, saliva-covered, dollop of doughy goo with a smattering of pink frosting encrusting the edges. “Cookie” in hand, she bounded as if on springs from one corner of the bakery to the other, her grandfather always in eye shot, as she pointed to each of the items on the bottom shelf of the bakery’s glass case, looking to him for the correct word.
“Cookie,” he said, as she pointed to a green, sprinkle covered cut-out of a dinosaur.
Don’t Expect Gurantees of Success

Expect not guarantees of success.
Setting goals does not guarantee you will get to have the results you want.
