Balancing Time and Energy

People are unique in that we require a precise amount of stimulation to function at our best. Think about it. Don’t we experience just as much stress when we are bored as when we perceive that there is “too much to do”? The key to managing our productivity involves a healthy balance.         

Success is a Journey

We have all heard the saying “Success is a journey, not a destination.” This simple phrase illustrates the concept that the process of reaching our goals is often more rewarding than the final achievement itself.

More Success Strategies

I am a firm believer in the idea that there are only a handful of principles you really need to follow in order to get great results in the area of weight loss and fitness. With that in  mind, here are a few of the best strategies I know of to improve in the months ahead.

Time to Grow

The nature of life is growth. Plants grow. Animals grow and people grow. Scientists tell us that even the universe is expanding.

When a seed is planted in the ground it immediately begins the process of becoming a full grown plant or tree.

You Can Get There From Here

Pursuing your goals can be a little tricky at times. In some ways, it can be compared to the game of golf. You can’t always see the green from the tee.

Food for Thought

Just as there are four different types of energy; mental, physical, emotional and spiritual, there are also four different types of hunger that correspond to the four dimensions of self.While we all know what actually physical hunger feels like, and you have no doubt heard of or maybe even experienced emotional eating, few of us understand what spiritual hunger is and how to properly nourish this aspect of our nature.

Stress…Less!

Stress, as we know, is a major contributing factor to unhealthy habits such as overeating, smoking, drinking etc.  If you allow it to, stress can flood your system with destructive substances like adrenaline and cortisol, or keep you from getting the quality rest you need and impede your progress in the area of health.

So it is to your advantage to learn how to deal with these issues before they become a problem. Here are a few steps you can implement right away to organize your time more effectively and accomplish more in the time you have, without sacrificing what is truly important.

Focus of tasks that produce immediate benefits – So much of what we do these days contributes to our long-range goals. With this kind of pressure, it’s easy to lose sight of the progress you are making in the short term,. Sometimes doing something of seemingly low-value will give you instant gratification that can boost your self-esteem and put you back on the winning track.

Break larger tasks down into manageable chunks – Be patient. It takes time to achieve something of lasting value. It probably took you years to get out of shape so don’t expect to change everything overnight. Just focus on the individual steps and the big picture will take care of itself.

Prioritize your time and energy - Do the tasks with rewards for success and penalties for failure first, or at least schedule the time in your day when you will do them. People today are busier than ever before. We all play many roles, husband, wife, father, mother, employee, student, and so on.

Remember, you don’t “have to” do anything – You decide what is important. There may be some things that you really want to do and these may seem urgent. Take the initiative to decide on what is truly important and above all, plan ahead and then execute on your plans to achieve a better body and a greater life!

Mastering The Essentials

Making small incremental progress in the direction of your goals eventually leads to the accomplishment of your dreams!

On Course

“It’s time to move past good intentions into the area of life- changing results!”

Most universities encourage students to submit a Course Evaluation after a class is completed. This information allows the administrators to offer improved quality classes with each passing  semester.

It is important to complete your own “Course Evaluation” for life on a regular basis to make sure that you are still “on course” with your own journey to success.
