New Career Same Man

To those who have gotten to where you want to be don't let it suppress your hunger to keep growing your knowledge. Say you are the smartest person in the classroom or the person making the highest salary at job - why stop there. Keep learning from others, no matter that person may be give them the time of day. And for those who think they may not be the smartest person in the room or someone who thinks their salary is inadequate - why would you think you would be stuck - keep pushing the barrier. Overall, the message I am relaying to you, the reader, is to enjoy life and be happy no matter where you are on the social totem pole. Keep learning and find that stride that will keep pushing you forward.

Go for the Peak, but Never Stop There

We are have goals in life hopefully. Hopes and dreams that when we do reach them it will put us in the content state. We will be forever happy for what we have done thus far. But why not feel that content state right now? Be happy and grateful for the things we have and the relationships we built with people at this very moment. Don't think that once you have successfully accomplished your dream you will than be happy. Be proud of your achievements now or else you never will satisfied. Keep scouring up the mountain of life, but instead of resenting the journey up, embrace it with a smile on your face.

Take The First Step

It's a long journey no matter what you are stepping towards. It can be a career, a relationship, real estate, or even just bettering yourself in one way. The first step seems to be the hardest since we have no clue where the next step after the first will go. Your destiny isn't built by standing still, it's starts by taking risks and accepting failure. Taking the first step automatically puts you in action. Don't give up after a short time just because there are no results. Keep pushing and trying, and when you find out that stepping forward works, you aren't going to want to stop. 

I Learned Something Today

Just as we all do on a day to day basis, we learn. We learn the good, the bad and the ugly that comes out of life. We take life day by day learning new skills. Some of these skills stay with us for a couple hours, some stick to us for the years to come that eventually form our life and career.
I haven't written anything on here in about 5 months. I miss it, writing is a great habit to have and sustain in the long term. Don't take the things you have learned in the past for granted. They may emerge out of the ashes and come back to you at full force. Dropping new bad habits by regaining old beneficial habits is the cycle of life. Staying on track and staying consistent is all you could do to arrive to your destination. It's a stress relief getting this off my chest, not exactly sure how many people this excerpt will reach. The sudden realization of life is overwhelming, slow it down and if you get side tracked, eventually find the main road there after.

Comparison is the Thief of Joy

When you think of a thief what or who do you think of? A bank robber, a pickpocketer, an ex-girlfriend? Well true these may all be thieves, but we forget about those thieves that we make up in this world as we trend along. Thieves of the mind that take over at any given moment and take away our lively-hood. Going through life comparing yourself to others is something we all deal with on a daily basis. Whether it be objects or looks we are always comparing ourselves to those around us. We make up this ridiculous ranking system that actually doesn't exist. All the fake news and propaganda through the media and on our phones always makes us think that we are not adequate enough for this world. Do me a favor today, tomorrow and the next, don't compare just do you and do what you believe. Don't act like you are better or worse than anyone else. Work on you and your beliefs. 

50th Post

Hard to believe that this is the 50th post on here. I am more proud of myself for actually sticking to it rather than just giving up half way like my younger self used to. This blog post may not be the most educational, but to me it lets me know that the future is bright, and I am ready to take on the beast. Writing on here lets me express my feelings for self-motivation and how I see holistic health is the greatest factor you can incorporate into your life. Keep on trucking. Thank you to those who have been keeping up with me. Posts will begin to come weekly once again. Stay tuned!

Don't Run From Failure, Anticipate Failure

Growing up I used to feel ashamed when I failed something, rather it be an exam or at a relationship. Failure is a feeling you have that makes you think and worry about the upcoming future and most certainly makes your dwell on the mistakes made in the past. However, now as I am an adult, failure is a part of life that you must grow from. If you are defeated by failure in the long term than something needs to change that every moment. Life happens, don't be bogged down by failure. Failure in a way creates new life and new beginnings. Different perspectives are born through failure. Who knows, maybe this failure will lead to the ever lasting abundance of life that everyone is offered in the world. Get back up and try again. 

Dairy Contraversy

Dairy is one of the most controversial food groups in the United States. People say your drinking cows puss and blood, others say you are drinking nature's creamy beauty that is packed with nutrients that keep the body in a healthy manner. Well I am one the people that think dairy is a must in life and shouldn't be taken granted for. I understand that you can get calcium from fruits and vegetables, but did you know the calcium in milk is the most bioavailable? Also where can one get vitamin D in the winter time depending on where you live? Well milk is fortified with vitamin D. Vitamin D and calcium go hand in hand, so calcium gets absorbed more efficiently. 

Don't be scared to drink your milk, for both building bones and building muscle.

Take Advantage of Your Sick Days

It is that time of the year again and you just woke up sick with the common cold, you have a cough, a sneeze and you just want to sleep all day. I don't blame you, being sick is definitely a headache. However, don't think that you have to be bed ridden all day for the next few days to get the cold out of you. Take these days with a grain of salt and do something productive around the home. Do something that will supplement you to feel better. In the long run of things just because your sick doesn't mean you have to miss out on the next few days. Buck up and do your tasks you set out to do. By showing your will is stronger than your sickness you show to yourself that anything can be accomplished under any condition. Don't let the common cold define your next few days. 

You Create Your Own Universe As You Move Along

Quote by Winston Churchill. You make your own life and set your own path. Your footsteps are like the keys on a type writer. Of course there will be hardships and mistakes made on the way, but there will also be blissful moments and achievements made as well. Never settle when you think you have it figured out. The universe is always changing and evolving and never looking back. We humans tend to look back on things, and dwell on them and it will slow our progress. The universe keeps moving as should we. 

Make Fiber Your Friend

People may think the only benefit from fiber is no constipation, but there is such more to this undigestible nutrient. Not only does fiber help you defecate more smoothly, but it also will clean your bowel as it passes through. Your friendly bacteria in your gut will boost your immune system so illness will be more rare. That feeling of fullness can come from an excess amount of food, but you do not want that feeling. You want the feeling of fullness from fiber. Look for Insoluble fiber that comes from whole grains and vegetables. This type of fiber adds bulk to your stool and it will be easier to pass through your digestive tract. Soluble fiber comes fruits, oats, nuts, seeds, lentils and some vegetables. This type of fiber will help you feel full faster, great way to stop overeating and therefore lose weight. 

Dress Your Bed As You Would Dress Yourself

If it sounds like I am telling you to make your bed it is because I am. Making your bed is not for the reason for your room to look neat and clean. It is really for your day to start in the right step. Building your bed takes a few seconds, some people don't even bother with those few seconds. This small accomplishment will only be built upon as your day progresses. I am now writing this blog after the fact I made my bed before 6:30 in the morning. These small but evolutionary accomplishments build to more advanced accomplishments in the near future. Take time and dress your bed. 

Your First 60-90 Minutes

This first hour of your day is crucial and is the most important part of your day everyday. When you first wake up in the morning, think about what usual do. Think? Watch TV? Scroll mindlessly on your phone? Or do you do something that will supplement the rest of your day? Such as morning exercise, reading, or writing. If your first 60-90 minutes are spent more in the productive category, than more than likely the rest of your day will be filled with more productive activity. Your alertness and awareness will change, that feeling of being groggy midday will be no more. You will want to achieve, not because you have to, but because you have a burning desire to conquer your morning. 

Escape

Everyone needs an escape when it comes to life difficulties. Whether it be finances or facing a death can be some of the hardest times any human can experience. Escaping and not acknowledging the problem hands on will only lead to deeper grave of self. You may be able to run from the problems in the beginning, but they will catch up to you and strike with no mercy. Face your fears and face reality. It is the human way. You will become stronger after the matter of fact, and will be able to face challenges like the one you just conquered in the future ahead. 

Never Be Distracted By Comparison

It is hard not to compare ourselves to one another these days. With social media constantly on our person we see how good some people have it. Rather it be relationships, successes or lifestyles. However never be bogged down by these illusions, the life's people live on Instagram are completely different outside the screen. We all need to understand that jealousy can never and should never be a part of social media. Social Media is not about the technical features but rather brings in sociological and psychological distress. The only way to escape it is to put the phone down and follow your own path that you already built in life. Find your purpose and there will be no need to compare.

Your Glycogen Storage

If you are into sports training or an athlete of any kind, your glycogen storage is vital to your overall performance. Carbohydrates, our main fuel source, are stored in your muscles and liver as glycogen. Your cells rapidly dissemble glycogen to glucose to extract ATP, the immediate energy source for cells. ATP can power someone through 100 meter dash and weightlifting. When it comes to running two miles or even running a whole marathon the oxygen energy system will be in use. This system can produce a tremendous amount of ATP and will also extract energy from fat as well as glucose. So if your are trying to lose fat the oxygen energy system will benefit you. When exercising for more than three hours you should consider drinking a sports drink to compensate for glycogen depletion. Once exhaustion and dehydration sets in your performance will plummet, so drink your fluids while exercising. 

Failure

The one thing no wants to come to terms with. It is as if you just reached the lowest point in your life. Whether it be an exam, relationship or career. It is hard to take failure, but it is even harder to get past it. Failure leads to everything negative, and if the person dwells on that they are only digging themselves a deeper hole to get out of. Once you fail, it is automatically in the past. It will be rough in the short term, just about everything you done you will start to second guess in life. No matter how heavy the failure is on the mind, we all have to somehow adjust and improve the next time around. We are all human, life isn't always flowers and rainbows. Who knows the failure you experienced in the past may lead you to a more fulfilling future. 

When a Door Closes a New One Opens

I know the feeling when a door slams in your face and locks from the outside. You are now locked out and you desperately try to reopen the door. Eventually you will come to the realization that the door will not open for you and you will have to move on. Moving on is a hard thing to do, but we all must do it when we have to. You feel lost and you start to second guess your decisions in life you made thus far. However, you can't be bullied by emotions during this time or you will lose yourself. During this time of hardship you must find yourself and pull yourself up from the ashes. Don't lose sight of the path you want to take in life, there will be more doors open on the way. 

Once you Start you Finish

Have this implemented every time you start something. Whether if it big or small you have to have the mind set of finishing the moment you start. Don't be the one who gives up on something half way through. In my opinion those who give up half way have a weaker mindset than those who never started to begin with. Of course there will be mistakes and slip ups on the way to the finish line, but those who triumph against them will cross the finish line eventually. No matter how long it takes if you keep going the finish line will soon be in view. Make life simple and finish whatever you want to start.

There is a Difference Between Planners and Dreamers

Those who dream and keep on dreaming are those who basically stay in bed all day and decipher and depict what their lives could look like. They want that life, but make no moves towards it. Those who plan though are on their way to the life they dreamed. Think of this as the Transtheoretical Model. However, only two of the six steps are described here. Think of the dreamers as those stuck in contemplation stage, and the planners in the action phase. All it takes is one courageous leap to get what you want out of this world. Dreaming isn't going to get you anywhere unless you act on the instinct.
