Create your own energy to increase your metabolism!
Have you ever noticed how some foods slow your energy levels and metabolism down?
Your body gives you clues...so listen to your body.
- Does milk make you sleepy?
- Does turkey cause a yearning for a nap?
- Does cheese pizza make you yawn?
Keep a journal and track for a week how you feel when you eat.
- Notice how fruit gives you a nice smooth boost of energy!
- Feel the long lasting satisfaction of fullness from oatmeal.
Here's a little mental yoga for you:
- Raise your hands high over your head. Now...Reach higher for the sky than before...note that your chest opens up and you draw extra air in. Feel the energy from the deeper breathing. Take in several more deep breaths. Even your thoughts become clearer.
- Think to yourself..."Food fuels my body, like gas for my car". Would you put inferior gas in it? Never! If you want to have top performance, ingest the best!
- Take a mental vacation. Where are you and what are you doing? Close your eyes and relax and think of the wind blowing in your face and your body operating on all cylinders. Can you feel the tingling of your skin as your blood surges through your veins supplying energy and a huge smile on your face?
- Picture your perfect body all slim and trim and your clothes slide right on without any effort at all. What will you be wearing for your next party? Just the thought of how great everyone is going to be telling you that you look is worth the time it takes to focus on achieving your health and weight goals.
Remember...Great health is a balance of mind, body, activity and nutrition.
While on the Perfect Weight vacation we were given several ideas on how to fill the needs our body has for supplementation, and what we found that works fast to increase energy that's also safe and natural is Verve. What a relief to not have to choke down handfuls of pills anymore.
We also were told to get on the "Worry-Free Diet".
- Refuse to worry and fret over things we have no control over. What we can control is what we choose to fill our minds with.
- Refuse to listen when others are complaining about the economy, jobs, and everything else people dwell on. Be proactive in your thoughts and actions. Be part of the solution instead of a victim to the situation.
- Be thankful and grateful and your day will be brighter.
Until next time...Choose happy and healthy!
