What You Believe.

04/26/2011

What we believe determines our thoughts.  What we think determines our perspective.  Our perspective causes us to label people and events and to assign value to them.  We use labels and values to define both ourselves and our focus.  What we focus upon is what we empower.  What we empower determines our view of reality.  Our reality determines how we choose our actions.

It has been said that perception is more important than reality, and for most of us this is true.  More importantly, what we believe is what develops our view of the world.  We establish our position in relation to it and our role based on our beliefs.  These also impact our relationships and our opinions. Often these beliefs are derived from what we have been taught, what others have observed and have told us, or whatever spin has been placed on words or actions.

Sometimes we adjust our beliefs based upon new information that comes to us as a surprise.  At other times we examine our beliefs and adjust them with purpose and intent.  When our beliefs change, our thinking changes, our perceptions change, our labels are redefined, and our behavior is modified.  This can be a result of personal choice or a reaction to events beyond our control.

Our beliefs can give us security and a feeling of stability.  They also can be confining.  We feel trapped if we believe that we have no options, no power, or that there is no way out.  Our beliefs can cause us to ignore anything that would cause us to question them.  There is a certain amount of fear, uncertainty, and doubt that arises when we question our beliefs.  We may fear change or fear confronting the possibility that we may have been wrong about our convictions.  We can be the master of our beliefs or allow them to master us

The process of self discovery involves adjusting our beliefs based upon new insights and expanded awareness.  When we adjust our beliefs we begin to create new paradigms.  This also is the process of creating new attachments and letting go of those that no longer serve us or are no longer valid.  It is the process of growth.

Have a great day and be good to yourself.  You deserve it!

MetaboWize is not just your average weight loss system!

The Lifelong solution to reconstructing your body and transforming your future. MetaboWize is not just your average weight loss system! Why is MetaboWize unlike any other product on the market? This cutting-edge program is an exclusive formulation of only the highest quality nutrients and ingredients in synergistic ratios. This advanced all-natural system helps stimulate your metabolism, control cravings, reduce appetite, burn fat and create more energy – 24 hours a day! Metabowize AM The MetaboWize AM Formula helps stimulate your metabolism throughout the morning and early afternoon by working to elevate the brain chemical norepinephrine and by optimizing the body’s methylation process. The body is then encouraged to burn more body fat and create more energy. It also contains nutrients that work to optimize the functioning of the thyroid gland, which is imperative to a healthy metabolism. Read More MetaboWize PM The MetaboWize PM Formula controls cortisol which is often associated with a dysfunctional metabolism, poor health and obesity. It also contains nutrients that help to boost levels of the feel-good brain chemical serotonin, which is necessary for effective relaxation, deep sleep, craving control and fat loss. Sleep researchers from Cornel University have found that at least half of the American population is chronically sleep-deprived and at least 56 percent of the US population complains about daytime drowsiness. In fact, similar statistics are now being reported in many other countries around the world. Research presented in the January 2005 edition of the Archives of Internal Medicine, shows that insufficient sleep decreases metabolism, leading to overweight problems and obesity. Read More  MetaboWize Protein-Fiber Shake The one-of-a-kind specialized fiber blend within the MetaboWize Shake consists of fibers that expand upon delivery to the stomach, ultimately helping to further curb appetite and cravings, while the other fibres work as a food source for healthy bacteria - required to maintain optimal digestion, absorption of nutrients and elimination. This one-two punch (whey proteins and functional fibers) and the unsurpassed quality of all ingredients within this proprietary formula is what truly sets the Metabowize Shake apart. Read More Don't be another statistic! Introducing your very own Lifestyle Solution...Metabowize According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), obesity is now the Number One Health Risk facing our society today! One in three or 58 million American adults aged 20 through 74 are overweight. The World Health Organization (WHO) latest projections indicate that globally in 2005, approximately 1.6 billion adults (age 15+) were overweight and that at least 400 million adults were obese. According to the WHO, projections show that by 2015, approximately 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million will be obese. Across the globe, at least 20 million children under the age of 5 years were considered overweight in 2005. We’re all painfully aware that we have an obesity health crisis on our hands. People's scales keep going up...up...and up. So what can we do about this obesity epidemic? Well, it's a lot more involved than telling people to take a stroll around the block or to stop eating junk food. That's why Xooma Worldwide created METABOWIZE and the XOOMA CHALLENGE! FINALLY! Say Good bye to the Curse of the Fad Diets Xtreme X2O - Your “secret weapon” in the war against permanent fat loss You’ve probably heard that your body is comprised of 70% water – or at least it issupposed to be 70% water. Water is an essential component of an efficient metabolism. In fact, without proper hydration, your body will find it next to impossible to produce enough energy to run your metabolic machinery. And…a poor metabolism leads to low energy levels and increased body fat.  http://www.metabowize.com/jedediah

Acceptance is the heart's best defense.

04/25/2011

Acceptance means that you can find the serenity within to let go of the past with its mistakes and regrets , move into the future with a new perspective , and appreciate the opportunity to take a second chance.

Acceptance means that you can find the serenity within to let go of the past with its mistakes and regrets , move into the future with a new perspective , and appreciate the opportunity to take a second chance.

Acceptance means that when difficult times come into your life , you'll find security again and comfort to relieve any pain.

You'll find new dreams , fresh hopes , and forgiveness of the heart.

Acceptance does not mean that you will always be perfect.

It simply means that you'll  always overcome imperfection.

Acceptance is the road to peace -letting go of the worst , holding on to the best , and finding the hope inside that continues throughout life.

Acceptance is the heart's best defense,

love's greatest asset , and the easiest way

to keep believing in yourself and others.

Regina Hill.

Our entire life. . . consists
ultimately of accepting
ourselves as we are.

FocusUP - THE "Pure-Energy Think-Drink"

Q: How is FocusUP® different from other energy supplements?

A: FocusUP® is a revolutionary blend of internationally researched Energetic Nutrients and Botanical Ingredients– that help you feel energized* (see more about FocusUP® at “The Formula” Tab). These unique nutrients do so much more than just improve energy – they also improve focus, concentration, mood, memory and mental performance.* We believe this makes FocusUP® the world’s first Pure-Energy Think-Drink!

Q: How long does it take to notice results?

A: Because each person is different, individual results will vary. The good news is typically, if you consume an entire stick pack quickly, shortly after taking the ingredients in FocusUP® you feel focused and alert. Logically however, if you choose to “sip” FocusUP® over time, it may take longer to feel the same effects of the product.

Q: Can I drink more than one FocusUP® per day?

A: Yes. FocusUP® is formulated so you can enjoy more than one serving per day. For example, Dr. Kyl’s colleagues often drink two servings per day. Some even drink three per day. However, it’s best to start out with one serving and monitor how you personally respond to the caffeine and energetic nutrient blend in FocusUP®.

Q: How is FocusUP® manufactured and can it be taken with prescription medication?

A: FocusUP® requires all manufacturing processes to strictly follow the highest standards, quality assurance, and control procedures in the nutritional industry. To meet these criteria, our selected manufacturing facility meets the strict standards of all current industry Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs). As with all nutritional support products, it is recommended that you consult with your doctor prior to taking FocusUP® if you are pregnant, lactating, or if you are taking prescription medications.

Q: What is Dr. Kyl’s philosophy on brain health and nutrition?

A: Dr. Kyl feels the most exciting area of emerging science is the application of the latest findings in clinical nutrition as relating to cognitive function. In his book, Brighter Mind® (www.BrighterMind.com) Dr. Kyl shows that over the last 15 years, peer-reviewed scientific literature has thoroughly substantiated the need for, and benefits of, certain nutrients in supporting and improving cognitive function (brain function) in individuals of all ages. Dr. Kyl is dedicated to delivering science-based nutritional products that maximize the potential for cognitive health, and provide nutritional support for your health needs. Because healthy brain function is so vital to quality of life, Dr. Kyl is passionate about proper brain health. He relentlessly seeks to identify scientifically validated, highly active substances from foods, botanicals, and other natural sources that can serve to positively affect cognitive expression. To read more about Dr. Kyl’s philosophy on brain health please see www.BrighterMind.com

My Contribution by Tom Walsh.

What will I give to the world today?  What will I add to the experiences of the people with whom I have contact on this day?  I can't say for sure just whom I'll deal with today, but I can decide right now whether I want my contribution to this day to be positive or negative, helpful or hurtful, constructive or destructive, uplifting or not.

Today, I want to contribute pleasantness whenever I meet someone, whether I know them or not.  I don't have to wear a pasted-on smile in order to be pleasant, but I do have to avoid sarcasm or judgment.  When people receive my pleasantness, it may be the first pleasantness of their day, so I'll try to be very pleasant. 

I'd also like to contribute kindness to this new day.  This means that I must use words that are kind and act in a kindly way, avoiding looks and actions and words that simply are not kind.  Perhaps someone will appreciate this kindness and pass it on to someone else.

I'd also like to contribute encouragement.  I'll have plenty of opportunities to do so.  And if I am encouraging, it may just happen that someone else finds the strength and courage to continue something very important to them.

I'll try my best to contribute praise and avoid criticism.  If the praise is sincere, I may just be able to make someone else feel better about him or herself.

I want to contribute peacefulness.   If I can face all of my duties and problems with a quiet confidence, looking calmly for solutions rather than complaining about the way things are, I can act as a role model for peacefulness.  In this way at least I won't be adding to the stressful input of those people who are around me.

It would be nice if I could also contribute some hope to this day, for someone, somewhere.  It could be in the form of letting them know that I've been through what they have, and things worked out okay, or in the form of helping them to see the strengths they have that will help them to do what they need to do.  Either way, the hope they get can be very valuable for them.

I'd also like to contribute courtesy.  I can let someone else have a parking space, I can hold doors open, I can let someone cut in line, or I can simply say "Excuse me" when I walk in front of someone.

There are some things that I want to avoid trying to contribute.  I don't want to try to give someone else my way of doing things and expect them to do things that way.  I really don't need to share my opinions as often as I tend to, except when asked.  I really want to avoid sharing criticism and judgment, and I don't want to issue ultimatums to get people to do things I want them to do.  I don't need to express my anger or frustration all the time, and it probably would be helpful if I refrained from contributing what I know about other people--gossip never helps anyone.

There's a whole day ahead of me, today, tomorrow, and the next day.  What I contribute to each of these days is, in short, my contribution to the world.  So what am I going to do?  Shall I contribute to the positive energy of the world, or to the negative?  The choice always is mine.
