Then I thought… well how about 3 foods that activate your metabolism?

Both of them I decided not to do and wanted to focus on 2 breathing techniques to decrease stress in your life in less than 45 seconds.

All of these topics fall short to this weeks message – knowing if you dedicate 5 minutes every day to journaling it will change your life forever.

This week I share a message with you on why journaling will change your life and how it has made massive impact in my life.

While in Paris – my friend and I are enjoying an excellent omelette with veggies. In less than 5 minutes – my friend finishes and has to go directly to the restroom. #coachingmoment

People want the life of an actor or athlete but they rarely see the sacrifices they make – like 5am pickups, 18-hour days, being far away from their significant other or family, missing Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthday parties, the big game, etc.

This week I define the difference between the high performers I have the privilege to work with and the dreamers that don’t take action.

As your Coach I’d like to give you a homework assignment this week. What are the 3 most important reasons you move?

Here are My Reasons:
1. So I Don’t Get Tired
2. So I Don’t Get Tired
3. So I Don’t Get Tired

Because in my book, fatigue is failure and energy is everything!

I realized that up until that point in my life I thought I knew what resting was until the magic I was about to experience. Watch the video above to experience the magic with me.

Technology has made it so that we can work anywhere; therefore we work everywhere. 

1. Clarity: Perhaps Zig Ziglar said it best, “Be clear on who you are and what you want.” Ask yourself these basic questions:

What do you believe in and stand for?
What is most important in your life?
What would you pay, fight, suffer, and die, for?
What do you really care about?
What do you really want to do with your life?
What would you dare to dream if you knew you could not fail?

The answer to these questions will help you be clear in your values, vision, mission, purpose, and goals. Then you need to:

Decide exactly what you want in life.
Specify what it really means to you.
Identify the true value attached to it.
Determine the path to get there from here.
Make your own detailed plan of action.
Accept what you may have to give up to get there.
Reaffirm your sincerity and the goal before you.

The person you see is the person you will be. Visualize your success as you move toward it. Whatever your goal imagine it already within your grasp. See yourself truly being that very person and you will find yourself moving forward toward your goal, your vision, your dream. It is the clarity of your vision that makes it happen.

Tip: make sure you celebrate reaching your goal and get focused to set another goal. Don’t let yesterday’s breakthrough become today’s ego trip!

To grow in consciousness, we expand our perspectives on life. So how do we do that? The more we work with the universal — the concept of unity and wholeness — the more everything makes sense. Parts have meaning when they are understood to be parts of a bigger picture. Keep your overall vision in sight!

Consciousness is all about relationships, especially how the lower relates to the higher and how the darkness can exist within the light.

During this holiday season, take the time to realize how your relationships are going, with family, spouse, and self. Take a deep breath and honor yourself for all you are and for that which you are becoming.

Higher consciousness, enlightenment, comes from meaningful experiences and lessons passed with the understanding that there truly is only one law – the Law of Love. When one leads a life expressing this belief, the mind and heart begin to open to new realities, and other dimensional truths become known. -Dr. Norma Milanovich & Dr. Shirley McCune

Reading:

I find that in the morning when I’m having my Pure Greens and breakfast Reading fits perfect. I’m reading constantly throughout the day, mostly on topics of health, nutrition, exercise, and coaching, but my readings in the morning are reserved for more spiritual reading and investing into my faith.

Exercise:
Then I’m off to the gym or track for Exercise, usually 30 to 50 minutes total.

Meditation:
Now comes the most important part and also the most neglected by most. By now meditation is known to be important, it has shown to have major benefits in stress relief which can significantly influence weight loss or as I like to say “health gain”. As if that’s not enough, many athletes, celebrities and leaders in the fields of business and success turn to meditation as their source for centering.

Back to my REM, after Exercise it’s time for me to complete my REM for the day. When I’m done stretching (and I hope you are stretching), either right in the gym, a bench on the riverwalk, central park or my balcony, I make time for meditation. Usually I spend 10 to 20 minutes to work the biggest muscle of all, the muscle of the mind.

Some people like to meditate first thing in the morning and if that works for you then that’s excellent, personally even though my energy is high right when I wake up I have more energy after I workout which makes this time optimal. Recently at Duke Integrative Medicine I asked the brilliant mind of Dr. Jeff Brantley, meditation leader, when is the best time to meditate and he answered, “during the part of your day when you experience the highest level of energy”. That answer confused me at first because I was always under the impression that when I felt calm and peaceful I should meditate, well guess what? If I meditate at that time, I’m falling asleep.

YOUR REM: ask yourself, When is the best time for my REM? How long will I give myself to complete my REM?

Important Note – for the people that think “I just don’t have enough time”, stop being selfish. The 30 minutes daily it will take you to make REM a part of your healthy lifestyle will provide you the ability to be a better listener, better communicator and better human being.

Make the time to Find Your Center

(60 Day Challenge – Day 56)

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath & tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

– William Ernest Henley
