Lose the PoundzZzZzz

“Hormones appear to be the link between sleep deprivation and weight gain. Loss of sleep increases your body’s production of the hormone Ghrelin, which stimulates hunger. Lack of sleep also also decreases the levels of the hormone Leptin, which signals your brain when your body doesn’t require any more food.” – BetterSleepBetterLife.com

Resolve, right now, to get 7-9 hours of sleep every night. When we get the appropriate amount of sleep our muscles repair, our memory improves, our heart gets healthier, our chances of developing type 2 diabetes is reduced and we give our bodies the opportunity to perform optimally the next day.

When we decide to sleep by a certain time every night, we become more productive and more efficient during the day; we know we need to get everything done by that time. Give it a try, you have nothing to lose, only so much to gain.

3 Simple Words, 3 Simple Sentences

i am amazed what 3 simple words can do. when i feel like giving up, sometimes 3 simple words is all i need to keep going. it’s as if 3 simple words take over and are the only 3 things in my world at that moment; not even the task at hand stands a chance. i become the 3 simple words.

i hear the 3 simple words in my head, but deeper in my mind, i see/hear/feel my ypowr!  i see/hear/feel my future family, my future wife, my future kids, my future career, my future health, my past health, my past friendships, my past hardships, my past mistakes, my current state; i see/hear/feel it all.

3 simple words can motivate you.

Just Keep Moving

3 simple words can humble you.

Thank You Lord

3 simple words can change your life forever.

I Love You (is there someone in your life who deserves to hear these words from you? or is there someone who you’d want to hear these words from? sometimes these 3 simple words limit us. never limit yourself. and don’t be concerned about their response (or non-response). this is about YOU and how YOU feel about someone! I love YOU. and please remember that LOVE is a VERB. to love someone means that you sacrifice for that person, that you work hard for that person, that you put that person before yourself.)

if these 3 sentences are part of your daily life, then i believe you are a positive & progressive individual. always keep moving, always be thankful, and always think love.

Courage

“courage is rightly considered the foremost of the virtues, for upon it all others depend.” – Winston Churchill

but what is Courage?

“courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear — not absence of fear.” – Mark Twain

everyone is afraid of something. surround yourself with positive people and your resistance to fear (courage) will get stronger

Make It As Clear As Possible

“if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want, you end up getting something else.” – Goals! (248)

what is it that you want? what does it look like? how will you feel once you get it? how will you react once you get it? who will you share it with once you get it?

visualize it and make it as clear as possible. what do you want? now visualize what it will look like and what it will feel like. go get it!!

ps – you can’t hit a target that you can’t see
