Make The Most Of Your Time

"Where Inner Health Meets Outer Beauty." - Borba.

2008-06-26T21:28:00.000-07:00

Anytime I find something new that's great, I try my best to share the invaluable news with others.

As a child, I grew up on Albertson's, Ralphs and other various general supermarkets that run in chains all throughout the United States. You know the ones lined with shelves of food products that are sure to contain some sort of blue dye, preservatives, and other various unknowns. It is what I grew familiar and have historically frequented.

Maintain Your Ideal Figure

2008-06-14T17:39:00.001-07:00

Reminders to maintain your health:

1. Keep visions of your perfect figure in the forefront of your mind.

2. Remember how good you felt when you have been in the best shape of your life. How much lighter and how much more energy you had.

3. When you eat less, you save money. When you save money you feel better and when you feel better you eat less!

4. Drink more water! It's inexpensive, it's filling, it detoxifies, and it satiates hunger. Oftentimes when you crave sweets, you are actually really thirsty. Drink at least 2 glasses of water before you reach for a snack you will later regret.

The Very Best in You

2008-06-14T17:15:00.000-07:00

While most of my life has been difficult, I have been going through an exceptionally rough past year. Between having my life threatened and being robbed to reuniting with my adopted family after 8 years of estrangement, I realize after awhile there is only so much a person can take before they feel like they're breaking.

Everyday is a constant search and struggle to find ways to maintain positive thoughts and keep all my dreams in focus. Luckily, for the most part of my life my weight has been one of the things that has been pretty simple to maintain. I exercised regularly and maintained a great shape.

Lately, however, due to the exceptional hardships I mentioned above as well as some I didn't, I am finding that maintaining my figure has been somewhat of a challenge. In the past, when I've struggled, one thing that has helped me the most is really trying to remember how I felt when I was at my tip top shape. When I really image my frame of mind during those times, it all comes back to me and I know I can get the figure of my dreams back.

Also, just writing about what I want always helps me. My readers are the family I always wanted, always available to listen and care about me non-judgementally and with sincere love.

So thank you for helping me get the best of me back.

Take care of your health & each other.

Stay Fit & Healthy

2008-05-31T14:24:00.000-07:00

The only way to stay fit and healthy is:
...to stay fit and healthy.

(Note: I loved the concept of the above picture, just wish it said "Things YOU can do" because it's message is applicable to everyone.)

Many people think this is a difficult task, but if you think something is difficult, it becomes difficult. Thoughts manifest reality. In order to achieve anything in life, you must tell yourself that you can and will achieve it, bottom line end of story.

Do not sell yourself short by self-limiting thoughts. Do not listen to the negative limitations that others have placed upon themselves.

If you want something to work, you have all the power in your mind, heart and spirit to make it work.

You can and will have the physique of your dreams.

Blessings & best wishes to all.

Hemi Sync: Euphoria

2008-05-17T19:32:00.000-07:00

I was introduced to Hemi Synchronization in a psychology class. The instructor loved to experiment, find and work with alternative therapeutic tools that were natural, but did not necessarily fit within the stereotypical “shrink and couch” situation many people envision therapy to be.

A Perfect Cup o' Tea

2008-04-26T13:22:00.000-07:00

As I continue to learn more about health and the very best things for you, I recently discovered that herbal teas not only contain a wide array of antioxidants, but they are also caffeine free.

I have read mixed things about products containing caffeine. For example, some studies have claimed that caffeine can be good for people with depression. However, caffeine is a diuretic and thus by definition causes your body to lose much needed water. Although it might potentially have a positive effect on your body, I believe what you end up losing is more critical to take into account. After all, there are many other things you can turn to that will help boost your mood and energy levels that will not cause you to lose fluids (for example: B12-Shots: The Newest Energy Booster).

Now, I am trying to experiment with different types of herbal teas. One of my favorites is peppermint; it leaves you literally feeling like you just brushed your teeth or had a nice refreshing mint.

Drink to your health and enjoy!

It's Your #1 Priority

2008-04-14T23:06:00.000-07:00

No matter how busy your day is, no matter what goes on in your personal life: Your health is #1. When your health is not at its best, it affects everything in your days. Always keep it at the top of your priorities, no matter what.

Some important things to keep in mind everyday:

Drink at least 8-10, 8 oz. glasses of water a day

Be sure to drink at least one cup of green tea a day. The antioxidants will help keep you in perfect health and the extra fluid will help keep your hunger cravings at bay.

Be sure to exercise at least 3 times a week for at least 20 minutes per interval.

Avoid fatty foods (i.e. stay away from fast food stops, fried foods, and anything that will do you more harm than good in the long run)

A big part of your health is connected to your emotional health.

Be sure to "exercise" your emotional health as well by surrounding yourself with positive supportive friends, interactions, literature, etc.

Be sure to take time to reflect upon your day; time that is all your own.

Treat yourself to something you love (i.e., a massage, a bath, a good book)

It's More Than Essential

2008-04-12T01:21:00.000-07:00

Do you have specific health goals? Do you want the perfect body of your dreams? Do you want increased energy levels that will consistently last throughout your days?

You have the power to set goals and achieve anything in life.

You have discipline.

The best way to reach your health and weight goals is to make a plan and stick to it. No ifs ans or buts. If you make a promise to someone you care about, you keep it. Do not treat yourself with any less respect or care.

You must simply remain steadfast in anything you want for yourself. Just as you make time to take a shower, brush your teeth, and get an oil change for your car, you must plan time to include your health in your life.

Your health is number one. It affects every aspect of your life. Take steps to ensure that it affects yours in the best way possible!
