Crazy

 Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result is what a lot of us do.  We want the days to be better and we have the same attitude as the day before.  If we are not positive we will not have positive days as our thoughts of today become tomorrows actions.  Break away from the crazy cycle of whatever is afflicting you, become the change you want to be.

 The crazy part is that we only need to make minor changes to see big results, the biggest difference in our thoughts and actions is purpose.  Be committed to the change you want and it will happen!

Let go of the self-doubt, I believe in you and your abilities more than you do, however you can get there as well just believe in you and shutdown those self imposed limitations with positive thoughts and affirmative actions.

 Live with purpose and live each day on purpose!  Today is a gift!  You are a gift to yourself and others!  You may be inspiring people and do not know it!  Live like you are an example, you are an example!

Time crunch

We all have very busy lives, however with a little planning and forethought you can make a big difference in how you can be busy and still eat healthy.  Have you been at work and had to go out somewhere because you did not have time to get a meal together before going to work?  Have activities after work and may or may not get to go by your home before heading out?  How can you enjoy healthy eating when fast-food is not healthy?  Plan ahead and prepare meals and snacks ahead of time.  Saturday or Sunday take a few minutes to plan and then prepare food for the coming week.  Divide up carrots and celery sticks into individual bags so that you can snack on them at any time at work or on the run, just grab and go.  Keep an apple or banana at hand so that you can use it is a snack.  Prepare a couple of healthy meals and then put them into containers in the proper portions so at mealtime at work you do not have to think just pop it in the microwave and your ready to eat in minutes.  I have spoken of Almonds before as a great snack, just take 20-30 of them in a bag and keep them in a handy spot like a drawer at work or in your purse to use when your in a rush but need something healthy to eat.  Your busy, however make that work to your advantage and save some money from going out to eat!  Always remember to drink your gallon of water today!

Affirm the Positive

 Why are positive affirmations so powerful?  When done correctly we are reprogramming our subconscious mind to affect change in our conscious life.  We can remove doubt, increase confidence, change beliefs, and remove limitations.  When we realize that we have set our limitations we can work on changing what we believe to be possible or what we can attain.  Our thoughts are so powerful, when we couple this with a change in our health we give ourselves the energy we need to make anything possible.  Are you ready to make change?  Do you believe that anything is possible?  Who do you want to be?  What change do you want to affect upon the world and others?  Are you a force for good and a force to be reckoned with?  I believe you are!

Take a couple of positive statements about yourself and write them down,  Keep it simple!  They should be positive!  They should be actions!  I am a fast runner!  I will endure! I run relaxed with speed!  These are affirmations that I use before running and during running!  I repeat these with conviction and desire!  I believe them!  Did you write down a couple simple statements about who you want to be or do?  If you do not write them how can you affect change within yourself?  Go write them down, make yourself accountable.  These affirmations can be placed on your bathroom mirror, at your desk, in the car, and other places you find yourself each day.  Read them aloud and with power.

Remember that you are unique and that you want to be what works for you.  Do not think about what others have or their lifestyle.  You can emulate someone whom you believe in what they do, how they treat others, an infectious smile, or how they work hard.  Create your own lifestyle that is true to you.
Does that make sense to you?  We are not carbon copies, however we can desire to have similar traits of someone we respect or know.  Realize that anything worth having requires effort on our part to affect change!  That is to change ourselves!  We can influence others!  We can believe in others!  Change is up to the individual!  Only you can change you!  Be the difference, make the difference, be the power and affect change in your life!

 Be the person you want to be!  Personal effects are great however you cannot take them with you when you die.  People remember who you are not what you have!
