Personal Training: 5 Easy Steps to Sanity on the Road

If you have been a personal trainer for any length of time - or any fitness professional, for that matter - then you know what it's like to spend a lot of time on the road. For trainers who work with their clients in homes or a geographic mix of local fitness facilities, you especially have some serious time behind the wheel on a regular basis. nnRegardless of where you train your clients, most trainers spend a good deal of time driving to and from training sessions, seminars

The Grandeur of Gratitude

Most of us were told to say âthank youâ as part of the basic set of manners that we were taught at a very young age. Gratitude, however, rather than simply being a semantic expression, is actually a full-blown concept whose power reaches much further than simply expressing appreciation as part of social etiquette. nnThe strength of gratitude as a basic concept for human existence can easily be seen by looking at almost any culture on planet Earth. Although each culture ha

Why Diets Don't Work

One of the biggest scams ever successfully pulled on the American public is - somewhat appropriately - a 4-letter word. That word is, of course, Diet. By now you have seen advertisements for more diets than you can easily remember, and have also most likely seen an article or television show debunking some of those diets. Unfortunately, the art of shooting holes through the credibility of a diet plan is normally done by ANOTHER diet company, solely for the purpose of getting

Get Out and Play: Top 7 Outdoor Exercises

Do you remember when our parents used to yell at us to go outside and play? They would get so tired of us running around the house munching junk food and fighting with our siblings that they would practically kick us out of the house!nn Well, we may not have the same child-like activities lined up to get outside for anymore, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't still get out and enjoy the world!

What is the Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction - in its simplest form - states that "like attracts like". Whatever you focus on the most is what will be most attracted to your life. At first glance, that would seem to state that since we all think about being healthy, rich, and having fulfilling lives, that we should all be living happily ever after, right? nnWrong. Although it is true that if we properly focused on those things that they would come to us in abundance, the truth is that most people d

Intend It!

How much of a shock would it be for you to realize that in order to get everything that could ever want in the world, all you have to do is INTEND to get it?nnSeems simple and unrealistic, doesnât it? The truth of the matter is that you can have anything that you want by simply Intending to have it.

The Imminent Approach of Deadline Failures

Have you ever just had it?

In fact, as far as youâre concerned, you will probably get to your goal long before that date, but you decide that you are going to pick a spot on the calendar anyway, ju

Feelings - The True Power behind the Throne

When it comes to taking control of our lives and making them what we want them to be, our FEELINGS are more important than our knowledge. Whether you understand and embrace the Law of Attraction or not, it is still working for you. It is a Universal law that you are powerless to escape. However, you can control it â and you do that with the power of your feelings.nnHave you ever noticed that when you feel bad, more bad things tends to happen to you? On the flip side, whenev

Keys to Perfecting Your Persona

If you have ever seen the movie âThe Matrixâ, then you will be familiar with the expression âresidual self imageâ. It is basically the image of ourselves that each of us holds in our heads, and it is such a familiar image to us that trying to envision ourselves in any other way is downright difficult, if not impossible.nnAnd therein lies the problem!nnUnless the residual self image that you have of yourself is exactly who you WANT to be, then changing that self image

Find Your Strength

As Dr. John Hagelin says in the amazing movie âThe Secretâ, âYou can have, do, or be ANYTHINGâ. Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith backs him up in the same movie when he says, âYou could start with nothing, and out of nothing, and out of no way - a way will be madeâ. nnThese are powerful statements and they are 100% true and accurate.

Who is in Charge Here?

The question of who is in charge of any personâs life would seem to have an obvious answer. If someone were to say to you, âWho is charge of your life?â you would likely answer with, âI amâ! That is exactly the correct answer, and we will explore that in more detail. However, letâs first look at who is actually in charge of your life right now:nnThe list is endless, but for most people it will include any combination of the following: Your boss, your children, you

You might hate your job, get no joy out of your relationship, or even want to get out of spending time with someone that you donât really care for.

Manifesting Madness - The Shocking Truth

Try not to take this the wrong way, but the sad truth of the matter is that it's YOUR fault.nnNo one likes to be told that they did something wrong, but unless your life is "heaven on earth", you stepped off track a time or two along the way, and you only have yourself to blame.nnWhen you look around your life right now, the people and the circumstances that make up your existence are there because - directly or indirectly - YOU put them there. nnAs Esther Hicks says in the m

What are you Afraid of?

Do you think itâs possible that fear could be the primary factor in determining whether or not you succeed in any given endeavor? nnI submit to you that it is not only a possibility, but a probability. It may seem like there are more âtraditionalâ road blocks in your way, but that is very often merely an appearance, and not the actual reason why people fail to attain their dreams.nnOne of the reasons why fear is not seen as the culprit is because we tend to think of fea

Become What you Want to Attract

One of the hardest things for people to swallow when they think about improving their lives is that they are the cause for where their life is at this moment in time.nnWe tend to consider our lives as the culmination of years and years worth of thoughts, emotions, and experiences, which is true. However, when looking back on our lives in those terms, we normally miss the fact that we were responsible for every single one of the moments in our life, up to and including this ve

Knowledge is Useless

There is a common misconception in our society that âknowledge is powerâ. This statement is utterly and completely false! In fact, quite the opposite is true. Knowledge is useless. Your college education, your experiences in life or your above-average IQ donât mean a thing and they wonât allow you to earn a dime or to have a moment of happiness or prosperity in this world.nnUnless you USE them, of course!nnIt seems like a no-brainer to hear something like that, but th

The Countdown to Bliss

One of the drawbacks to having an imagination that can envision everything from the mundane to the fantastic is that whenever we imagine something that we want, we tend to want it NOW.nnThis can apply to anything from high-dollar material goods that we want, to something as simple as wanting to spend time with someone that we care about, or to looking forward to the weekend so that we can enjoy some time off.nnThere is nothing at all wrong with looking forward to having the t

Success Secrets of the Simple Minded

Getting Things Done by Unleashing your Anger

There is a lot of talk about using the power of âpositive thinkingâ in order to get what you want out of life. The general consensus is that the more you keep your mind tuned to your Personal Positive Network, the faster you will attain the things that you want in life.nnThat is all very true.
