Consistence, Persistence, and Resistance

February 27, 2017 by drryanjmayedadc Leave a Comment

 

Here we are, already in the final days of February and springtime is just around the corner! 

Last month we shared a little bit about taking steps towards your health. Remember, it doesn’t matter what size of step you are taking, as long as you are taking steps in the right direction. Now, if we can take it one step further…

How are you doing on your goals for your personal health? When we think about where we’d like to be a year from now, this summer, or even in just a few months it’s important to look at what you are doing. Are you consistant with your plan, are you persistant with your plan, or are you resistant with your plan? If you look at all three of these words, consistence and persistence will ALWAYS beat resistance!

Let’s start with consistance. A good way to be consistent is to make the activity a part of your every day tasks, get plenty of rest, follow a balanced diet, and to resist extreme binges. Now, I know that you might be saying that it’s hard to stay consistent with any of these things listed above, so I encourage you to get an accountability partner. Whether it’s your spouse with encouraging messages or a friend who is willing to meet you at the gym, it’s important to have people in our lives who are supportive of our positive changes! 

Now, for persistance. If you have a goal that seems daunting, break that goal down into smaller pieces and celebrate the milestones when they are reached. Remember, it took Michaelangelo 4 1/2 years to paint the Sistine Chapel. Self transformations aren’t going to happen overnight, so don’t beat yourself up if you’ve been going to the gym for a few days and can’t tell a difference. Keep on pushing and persisting forward and DON’T GIVE UP!  It’s also important to remember that it doesn’t matter when or where in your life you are starting; the important element is that you have started!

Did you know that in 1919 Walt Disney was told that he had no imagination or good ideas? Or, did you know that a concert hall manager told Elvis Presley, after a performance, that he was better off returning to Memphis to drive trucks? Had a beautiful red head listened to her drama instructors who urged her to find a different profession, we would have never been blessed with I Love Lucy, and Lucille Ball would have never become one of the most recognizable actresses in America. These people kept moving forward and put all of the negativity behind them. They were consistent, persistant, and ignored the resitance!

“Energy and persistence conquer all things.”-Benjamin Franklin

“In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins…Not through strength, but through persistence.”

“The man on top of the mountain didn’t fall there.”-Vince Lombardi

HEALTH IS A VERB

September 26, 2016 by drryanjmayedadc 1 Comment

Some would say that ‘health’ is a passive thing that either exists in a person or doesn’t. If a person feels good, then they are perceived to be healthy. If a person does not feel good, they are perceived to be sick.In actuality, health is a very active state of being! Experiencing health comes from practicing health. Practicing health comes from purposeful, mindful, informed choices.

Practicing health is much easier when you are armed with proven, true information. However, information on health is not going to just come to your doorstep, or be taught in school, or even be communicated by most health care professionals. YOU have to be proactive.

Practicing Health Includes:

*Regular exercise at least (more is better) 3x per week. Walk, run, do yoga, lift weights, climb stairs, do a quick HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout.

*Eating fresh, real food (fresh fruits and veggies, grass fed beef, free range chicken, wild caught salmon, farm fresh eggs whenever possible – avoid boxed, prepared foods and foods containing additives. The less number of ingredients on the list, the better the product).

*Consume healthy fats such as coconut, coconut oil, avocado, grapeseed oil, flaxseeds, chia seeds, raw nuts and nut butters, real butter (never margarine), whole milk (never reduced fat).

*Research healthy food choices, recipes, fitness and HIIT workout information, etc… check out www.draxe.com and www.dailyburn.com learn as much as you can about healthy living.

*Maintain healthy thinking (I WILL, I CAN, I AM CAPABLE, I AM STRONG etc…) rather than thinking that revolves around excuses (I can’t do it, it costs too much, it’s too difficult, I don’t have time etc…).

You are capable of taking your health into your own hands in so many ways.

YOU JUST HAVE TO DO IT. LEARN IT. PRACTICE IT. YOU CAN. YOU’VE GOT THIS.

REMEMBER, HEALTH IS A VERB. YOU HAVE TO BE THE ONE WHO DOES IT!
