Health is a Decision

Good Health or Bad Health is your decision. Contrary to what we would like to think, illness and disease does not just happen. It is the result of what we do.

1. REDUCE STRESS - No excuses, just do it. Look at the things you think about. Eliminate some of them that are not serving you well.

As Andy Andrews states in his latest book, THE NOTICER, the character, Jones, tells Walker, a character who is moving through life with little purpose, that "smart people get tripped up with worry and fear." He goes on to say:

40% of all worries are about things that will never happen anyway

30% of all worries are about things that have already happened

12% of all worries have to do with needless imaginings about our health

10% of all worries are petty-little-nothing worries about what other people think.

8% are legitimate concerns

2. EXERCISE - Put it on your daily schedule just like brushing your teeth. You do brush your teeth, right? There are some things you do everyday, include some exercise. There will be more ideas in an upcoming One Step Ahead.

3. EAT A QUALITY DIET - Besides eating protein, good carbohydrates, and good fat, eliminate white flour, white sugar, and soft drinks, for starters.

4. SUPPLEMENT YOUR DIET WITH NUTRIENTS - At the very least, take digestible vitamins, minerals, and quality water. Keep your ph level slightly alkali.

Since you are in CONTROL, you can PAY NOW or PAY LATER.

What that means is that you can choose to be healthy now, or you can spend a lot of time, and money, while experiencing the pain of a diseased body later.

Our first link is on our website and addresses your mindset as a help or a hindrance to your progress toward your ideal life. Sometimes all we need is a different perspective.

More Information about Mindset

Our second website is that of the late Jim Rohn. His life exemplified true happiness and helping others to achieve it. He also was the mentor to many of the great leaders in the field of personal development.

HAPPINESS by Jim Rohn

Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want.
Happiness is not an accident. Nor is it something you wish for.
Happiness is something you design.
How sad to see a father with money and no joy. The man studied economics, but never studied happiness.
The greatest source of unhappiness comes from inside.
Happiness is the art of learning how to get joy from your substance.
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
