Achieving Total Wellness Now

Almost everything we do in regard to the health and well-being of our minds, bodies and souls involves a process…a series of steps that we must take to get to our goal.

The birth of a new life is treated as an event; but if you ask any mother she will quickly agree that it is a process, a nine-month process.  The ending of a long life is also treated as an event but in most cases it too is a weeks or months long process.

This is true of anything worthwhile that we wish to accomplish in our lives.  It is going to take time and effort.  The problem for most of us, I think, is that we have a difficult time reconciling future time with effort.

You see, future time is indefinite and seems to stretch out to infinity; whereas past time is compressed in our memory and seems much more manageable.  Therefore, when we want to start a new “project,” or set and accomplish a new goal it is difficult, if not daunting, to calculate the amount of effort it will require to get there in an uncertain time in the future.

That is why goals must be very specific and always have timetables and deadlines so that the uncertainty of future time and effort can be calculated and managed.  Why do brides always manage to lose weight before their weddings if that is their goal?  Of course, they are unusually motivated; but they also know that they are dealing with a finite amount of time and effort.

If you know that you need to improve your health and should start a good nutrition and exercise program, then lay out your plan for a certain period of time with a goal to reach a specific weight within that period of time; then do it one day at a time.

We can help you in many ways.  Look at some of our other blogs and educate yourself on how to go about reaching your goals and download our free e-book, The Path to Wellness.

How do you eat an elephant?  You eat it one bite at a time!

It has been observed that people who appear to be lucky in life have spun a larger web of personal contacts than the unlucky people.

We all know people who appear to be “lucky” in life.  Things just seem to always go their way.  They get all the “breaks” that most of us do not get.

Believe it or not, there have been studies done of people like this and the conclusions might surprise you.  I am not going to pretend that this is the whole answer to these people but it is a large contributing factor to their success in life.

People who are lucky are “connected.”  During the course of their lives they have managed to spin a large web of relationships, friendships, connections; call them what you will.  These “lucky” people know lots of other people and are “in good” with them.  

Think about it for a moment.  Think of the people you know and see if this is not true.  When opportunities come along these “connected” people hear about them through their network because their friends think of them first and they have lots of friends.

Now we have the social media like Facebook, Twitter and others.  Look at the people who have lots of friends and followers.  They are typically the people who are most successful in their online lives as well.

So…if you want to get “lucky” start spreading your web far and wide.

Sincerely;

Joanne & Paul
