BODY CONSCIOUS

Nothing great is ever accomplished without effort. The results of your accomplishments will always be in direct proportion to your effort. Then effort is the most important factor to all that we do. Now this is the hard part – how should you measure effort?

All the effort to improve one’s health through the development of a sound wellness plan will allow one to experience all the potential currently hidden within each of us. Our minds, bodies, and spirits were specifically designed to work in harmony with each other. Without realizing it our effort toward wellness may be leaving one, or two parts of who we are out of the equation. GENTRIFIED – A GUIDE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE by Jerry Uppling published through Xulon Press is purposely written to assist the reader in designing a wellness plan to bring the mind, body, and spirit into harmony with each other. Discovering what you can become through total harmony of the mind, body, and spirit will propel you forward to one of the most exciting destinations you could ever imagine. Request GENTRIFIED from Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Xulonpress.com/bookstore, or a bookstore near you to get your new year off to a great start.

As December approaches most of our planning efforts over the next few weeks go into the upcoming Holidays. Too often in this time of family, friends, and food we are bombarded with statements regarding over indulgence. While it is true some will consume too much alcohol for their own good the watch word ought to be moderation rather than abstinence. Remember to enjoy your family while you have them, encourage friends to greater accomplishments, and enjoy the foods of the holidays remembering that it will be eleven months before it rolls around again. Use this quote to keep a proper prospective, "Love wasn't put in your heart to stay, love isn't love until you give it away."

Take some time as the new year approaches to examine this past year. Is there something you could have done better if you had a second chance? Is there someone you perhaps hurt that was unintended, but hurt them none the less? Make a plan to repair the damage to family and friends. Establish short-term goals designed to accomplish long-term goals. Make wellness a higher priority.

PLANNING FOR THE NEW YEAR

Some folks wait until New Years Eve then make panic resolutions for the new year.  A well thought out plan now will allow you to make lifestyle adjustments ahead of time; adjustments that just may help you toward a path of success.  What lifestyle adjustments could one make to create a more positive outlook for their future?  What lifestyle adjustments could one make now that would assure that person on not only a better looking body, but a healthier body on the inside?  What lifestyle adjustments can be made now that will let one experience the kind of spiritual life that elevates one to a higher plane? 

Start reviewing your life now; Where have been, where are you now, and where would you like to be in the future.  Nothing is beyond reason i.e. "If you think you can or you think you can't - you are right!" Henry Ford.  Starting thinking you can and you will!

Watch for my new book; GENTRIFIED - A GUIDE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE on Amazon.com, Barnes&Nobles Bookstores, and a Bookstore near you.  If they sold out ask them to order it for you. GENTRIFIED could change the outlook for your future.  Experience the quality of life you were designed to realize.  What kind of plans do you have right now for the rest of your life?

Thanksgiving Meals

Feeling free to enjoy the best American Holiday of the year is important.  Thanksgiving is all about Family, Football, and Food, and not always in that order.  Word of caution; take your time eating, chew each bite well, and wait for desert until latter in the day.  Don't let guilt be the driving force rather simply enjoy the day.  Plan a nice long walk latter in the day, or some board games to keep your body and mind active.

Far too much time is spent of "fitness" and too little time is spent on "wellness". When we focus only on the body we are missing out on the other two parts that also need a workout - the mind and the spirit. It is up to you how you will approach the rest of your life. Watch for my book GENTRIFIED coming out in December on Amazon, Barnes&Noble, and a Bookstore near you.

The time has come to take charge of your wellness. If you don't take charge personally who will? Is there anybody who knows you better than you? Make today the first day of taking charge of the most important person in your life - you.

Wellness is the forgotten word of this century. Vanity expressions have replaced the value of wellness of the mind, body , and spirit such as.....you can fill in the blanks. This is not what health and fitness is all about, it is about taking ownership of our health. This Blog has become a book - "Gentrified - A Guide for the Rest of Your Life".
