Positive Thinking, Positive Habits, Positive
Change
Seeing
the Giants, a wild card team, win the Super Bowl is a perfect example of the
power of positive thinking as they denied the New England Patriots the chance
to complete a perfect season. As Eli Manning said, "There's something about
this team. The way we win games, and performed in the playoffs in the stretch.
We had total confidence in ourselves. The players believed in each
other."
Seeing
Kevin
Everett, who on September 9th, 2007 lay on the 20 yard line unable to move
and who was subsequently told that he would probably be a quadriplegic, walking
and hearing him in his interviews is more proof of the extraordinary power of
positive thinking, and in his case, the power of prayer. His belief system kept
him going and as he said about his rehab, he put in "five hours of rehab every
day to learn how to make his muscles respond to his thoughts". Positive
thinking and positive habits can yield positive change in your life, too.
Perhaps not in the miraculous way that Kevin changed his life, but rather in a
way that will be equally miraculous to you.
In an article in the New York Times on
October 4, 2007, Sarah Tuff describes how Matt Fitzgerald in his new book, Brain
Training for Runners has taken
Dr. Timothy Noakes
"central governor model" to the next level and uses it extensively with the
runners that he coaches. If we can tap into it, the central governor concept
could be used by all of us to create and control positive thoughts and positive
actions.
The
day after the Super Bowl marks the end of a season of eating beginning with
Thanksgiving and ending with perhaps the biggest pig out day of the year. What
better day than February 4th to either make or renew your health and fitness
resolutions. It has been dubbed "National
Before Day" and this year it is the day after the Super Bowl - a great time
to take a before picture that you can use to chronical the progress that you
are making in the months leading to
summer.
Finally, if you read your way all the
way to the bottom of this page, you can learn about Grace's Internet business.
Maybe her positive attitude will prompt you and your kids to pursue or continue
to pursue a positive, healthy lifestyle!

Mental Toughness
- There are certain moments during competition (and in life) that appear to

The Power of
Positive Habits - How much would your life improve if you could
literally put your behaviors on "auto-pilot" and eliminate the need for

workouts every day, without straining... without even having to think about it?

How To Cope With An
Unsupportive Husband (Spouse) - You've made a commitment that will
change your life. Your spouse has not. You've sworn off junk food and you

remote, taunting you with bonbons and insisting reruns of "Baywatch" should
have priority over your Power Half Hour.

pitfalls can be avoided simply by being aware of them.

Healthy Salsa! - Here's a way to enjoy corn chips without dealing with
the guilt that comes with eating them. The solution is all in the salsa that
you eat with them. Not just the ingredients in the salsa, mind you, but the

On The
Homefront
Contest
Update
My Dad loved horses. There is one thing that everyone knows
about horses and that is that you can't lead a horse to water. I offered to
give away a free Million Dollar Body Club membership every month to just my
customer list, so that narrowed the odds of winning. Based on the number of
respondents, the odds of winning this month are very good.
If you joined
as a Guest Member, you need to send me your "progress report" by February 25th
(no exceptions) and I will announce the winner on Friday, February 29th - yes,
it is Leap Year! |
