		<description><![CDATA[Overcome ANY Obstacle with 3 Simple Questions ?by Jack Canfield What stands between you and what you most desire? Your answers might relate to a lack of money, time, support from family, or all of these. Obstacles can seem so numerous, so obvious, and so tough to change. You can relate to obstacles in many ways. Typical responses are to explain them or resist them. Both responses take a lot of time and energy. And both anchor you firmly in the past, keeping your focus on areas of your life that are not working. To immediately generate alternatives, remember a simple analogy&#8230; Imagine that you&#8217;re driving down a scenic highway. Suddenly you come to a huge rock in the middle of the road. At this moment you have several options. You could try to explain how the rock ended up there. You could also go into resistance mode, complaining about the carelessness of highway construction or the lack of state funding for rock removal. Or, you could bypass all this negativity and remove the obstacle from your life at once. Instead of explaining the rock or resisting it, just drive around it. When faced with obstacles, people often respond with questions based on explanation and resistance, such as: - Why am I so alone? ?- Why does this always happen to me??- Why am I such a failure? However, you always have another option. You can ask questions that help you drive around any obstacle in your life. Questions have uncanny power. Questions direct your attention&#8212; and along with it, how you think and how you feel. If you want to create different thoughts, feelings, and results into your life, then ask different questions. Start now by skipping the why questions and begin asking what questions, such as: 1) What&#8217;s the lesson here? There&#8217;s an old saying about learning from experience: Beware the person with twenty years of experience. This may consist of one year of learning and nineteen years of repetition. The point is that experiences do not come prepackaged with empowering lessons. Everything hinges on how you interpret experiences, and your interpretations can change over the years. A single event can take you a step closer to emotional contraction or expansion. It all depends on how you interpret that event. Psychologist Martin Seligman has made a career by studying how human beings interpret their experience. He notes that each of us has an explanatory style. People who chronically feel helpless tend to explain events in ways that are: &#160;&#160;&#160; &#8226;&#160;&#160;&#160; Permanent: &#8220;I always get confused when trying to learn something new.&#8221; &#160;&#160;&#160; &#8226;&#160;&#160;&#160; Personal: &#8220;I&#8217;m just no good at meeting people.&#8221; &#160;&#160;&#160; &#8226;&#160;&#160;&#160; Pervasive: &#8220;I&#8217;m just the kind of person who fails to follow through, no matter what kind of goals I set.&#8221; Optimistic people use a different style. They explain events in ways that are: &#160;&#160;&#160; 1.&#160;&#160;&#160; Temporary: &#8220;When I feel confused, I ask questions that lead me to understanding.&#8221; &#160;&#160;&#160; 2.&#160;&#160;&#160; External: &#8220;I find it hard to talk to people in bars, so I invite them to quiet restaurants instead.&#8221; &#160;&#160;&#160; 3.&#160;&#160;&#160; Specific: &#8220;I find it challenging to meet long-term goals, so for now I will focus on achieving short-term objectives.&#8221; You should interpret these obstacles as yield signs rather than stop signs. These are signals that the world is expanding to accommodate your growth. Instead of resisting a challenge, just lean into it. Ask yourself: How can I interpret this event in a more powerful way? What&#8217;s a positive lesson that&#8217;s waiting here to be learned? 2) What&#8217;s great about having this problem? There&#8217;s an easy answer to this question: &#8220;Nothing!&#8221; However, looking beyond that knee-jerk response can quickly open up your perspective. Tony Robbins offers an example in his book Awakening the Giant Within. He recalls a time when he&#8217;d been on the road for nearly 100 days out of 120. Returning to his office, he found a stack of urgent memos and a list of 100 phone calls that he needed to personally return. Before making these discoveries, he was tired. Now he felt exhausted. Tony managed to shift his internal state simply by asking: What&#8217;s great about having this problem? He then realized that just a few years ago he would have been grateful to get calls from twenty people&#8212;let alone one hundred people with national reputations. This insight was enough to break his pattern of frustration. He found himself feeling grateful that so many people he loved and respected were willing to connect with him. 3) What&#8217;s my next action? This question shines a spotlight on solutions. No matter what happens, you can choose what to say and do in response. Rather than manifesting resistance or explanation, you can choose your next action. Successful people hold a bias for action. Add inspiration and intention to the mix, and you gain an unstoppable momentum. * * * Jack Canfield, America&#8217;s #1 Success Coach, is founder of the billion-dollar book brand Chicken Soup for the Soul&#169; and a leading authority on Peak Performance and Life Success.

		<description><![CDATA[by Jack Canfield Do you live in a state of mental and physical clutter? Do you have a bunch of unfinished business lurking around every corner? Incomplete projects, unfinished business, and piles of cluttered messes can weigh you down and take away from the energy you have to move forward toward your goals. When you don&#8217;t complete tasks, you can&#8217;t be fully prepared to move into the present, let alone your new future. When your brain is keeping track of all the unfinished business you still have at hand, you simply can&#8217;t be effective in embracing new tasks that are in line with your vision. Old incompletes can show up in your life in lots of different ways&#8230;  like not having clarity, procrastination, emotional energy blocks and even illness. Blocked energy is wasted, and a build up of that energy can really leave you stymied. Throw-out all the clutter and FEEL how much easier it is to think! Make a list of areas in your life (both personal and professional) where you have incompletes and messes, then develop a plan to deal with them once and for all. Fix and organize the things that annoy you. Take your final steps in bringing closure to outstanding projects. Make that difficult phone call. Delegate time-wasting tasks that you&#8217;ve let build up.  Some incompletions come from simply not having adequate systems, knowledge, or expertise for handling these tasks. Other incompletions pile up because of bad work habits. Get into completion consciousness by continually asking yourself&#8230;What does it take to actually get this task completed?  Only then can you begin to consciously take that next step of filing completed documents, mailing in the forms required, or reporting back to your boss that the project has been completed. The truth is that 20 things completed have more power than 50 things that are half-way completed. Finishing writing a book, for instance, that can go out and influence the world is better than 13 books you’re in the process of writing. When you free yourself from the mental burden of incompletes and messes, you&#8217;ll be AMAZED at how quickly the things you do want in life arrive. Another area where you&#8217;ll find incompletes in your life is in your emotions. Are you holding on to old hurts, resentments, and pain? Just like the physical clutter and incompletes, your energy is being drained by holding on to and reliving past pain and anger. Remember, you&#8217;ll attract whatever feelings you&#8217;re experiencing. So, if you&#8217;re stuck in revengeful thinking and angered in muck, you can&#8217;t possibly be directing energy toward a positive future. You need to let go of the past in order to embrace the future. Letting go involves forgiveness and moving on. By forgiving you aren&#8217;t releasing the other person from their transgression as much as you&#8217;re freeing yourself from their transgression. You don&#8217;t have to condone their behavior, trust them, or even maintain a relationship with them. However, you DO have to free yourself from the anger, from the pain, and from the resentment once and for all! When learning to forgive, make sure to complete the cycle. Acknowledge your anger, your pain, and your fear. But also own up to any part you&#8217;ve played in allowing it to happen or continue. Make sure to express whatever it was that you wanted from that person, and then see the whole event from the other&#8217;s point of view. Allow yourself to wonder what that person was going through and what kind of needs he/she was trying to fulfill at the time. Finally, let go and move on. Every time you go through this process you&#8217;re learning how to avoid letting it happen again! I&#8217;ll be back in two weeks with another edition of Success Strategies. Until then, see if you can discover ways to immediately implement what you learned from today&#8217;s message.

		<description><![CDATA[Find out about the author HERE. There are five components of fitness which together determine your overall physical well-being and ability; Cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and balance.    Together these components provide general health benefits also known as functional fitness. Functional fitness is comprised of  exercises and activities which includes two or more of these components. They are all equally important because they contribute to a longer and more importantly independent life.   Cardiovascular endurance is essential to a healthy circulatory system and heart; your body’s transportation system to nourish itself. Because heart health is so vital for everyday living regular cardiovascular exercise, is a sure fire way to ensure it is optimal for as long as possible   Muscular strength is important in everyday movement, getting out of bed, getting dressed etc. These are things we take for granted until we are no longer able to perform them for ourselves. Because we lose muscle mass as we age it is important to build and maintain as much as possible so that you can live independently for as long as possible.   Muscular endurance is the ability to repeatedly move a muscle without tiring and allows us to participate in sport, gardening, hiking; activities which contribute to our quality of life and are essential to our overall well-being.    Flexibility helps us maintain range of motion around our joints reducing stiffness and tension. The more flexible we are the less likely we are to get injured because we can more easily move our joints properly.     Balance is critical in injury prevention especially as we age. Participating in physical activity which requires us to balance helps us build and maintain our stabilization muscle which helps prevent falls and related injuries.]]></description>
