DecideTODAY

Decide TODAY who you will become Tomorrow! 

Making the decision to get healthy is the first step in the direction towards creating a healthy lifestyle. I have listed a few key components that will kick start your Journey to Optimal Health and Wellness.  

DECISION- 1 a: the act or process of deciding b: a determination arrived at after consideration 

Discipline- disciplina teaching, learning, from discipulus pupil 

The First person you lead is yourself. It takes discipline to achieve a new habit, way of thinking, eating patterns, and even sleep patterns. I can give you numerous examples of successful people who's discipline got them over the failure hump. The one of the hardest parts of discipline is getting started down the right track. So begin today to figure out your strengths and build on your success. When you get the ball rolling in the right direction it is easier to take the next step. Your mission for this camp is to become the best YOU , you can be. Please feel free to email or call me if you have any fitness questions.  

Environment-  

Creating the environment you want is a key factor in the way you continue to live your life. The number one cause of death in the USA is related to lifestyle habits which lead to diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart failure. The good news is that your body is highly adaptive, and can change according to diet and exercise. Go thru your pantry and leave only the foods that support your DECISION. If you could create your successful environment, what would it be like and what would you need to do to achieve this supportive successful environment?  

Commitment-

Staying committed to your Decision is an on going process. Commitment is one of the key factors that gets you out of bed when you just want to sleep in. It is the drive within that keeps you going in the good times as well as the bad. Your family, friends and coworkers may be considered your accountability, but your commitment to yourself is important. I am also committed to your success. Take a few minutes to write down what commitment means to you, and what commitments you are willing to make!  
 

Intention-

1: a determination to act in a certain way : resolve

2: import , significance 
 

Intention is the first step to understanding your actions. Intention of action is the root of the motivation that drives you. I would write down a few statements that act as affirmations of your pure intentions such as "I am showing up to every day that I signed up for boot camp.. I am physically fit.. I eat healthy and I am Healthy." When you write down your intentions as fact, they are more likely to be true!  

Success-

Success varies in meaning from individual to individual. It is important to define what success means to you. I find that many people define success as the outcome of the situation rather than the processes one goes through to be successful. For instance, Someone wants to loose 5 lbs over the next four weeks. It would be important to be successful in turning in the nutrition logs each week, sleeping 6-8 hours a night, and drinking about 8-10 glasses of water per day. These smaller successes create the environment for the larger success of losing the 5 lbs. At the end of the day, you are successful in the small steps which leads you to a more likely successful outcome. I hope you have seen small successes this week that gives you the encouragement to continue on your Journey!  

Inspire the inspiration!-

Inspiration is one of the things that keep me going! I get inspired through individual lives changing, my weekend runs with my dog, and a good article. Your decision to become apart of a life change starts out like a little fire, and slowly begins to burn bigger. Keep putting fuel on your flame (whatever that is) and you will become inspiration to others. Find out today what inspires you, and how you can be the inspiration to others.  

Seize the opportunity-

Opportunities are all around you. Each day you have the opportunity to take positive actions towards a successful experience. If we are not careful, opportunities are filled with busy work and seem to clutter up the schedule of a successful person. Take time today to identify the opportunities you have and achieve your goal. I find that if you focus too much on the road blocks you will eventually find more road blocks. So start focusing today on the opportunities and see if this helps you see more opportunities.  

NOW-  

The decision is Now. Your history of decisions is your past not your future. Decide now to take action. I know many dieters that wait till new years, or till Sunday to "start right". No excuses! I am always here if you have an issue you have been struggling with or would like more information about. My sister just found out that the reason she has been sick 70% of the year was related to 15 different allergies. She went to all kinds of specialist and finally one asked the right question. It is crazy to think all the trouble she went through to get the right answer but she kept asking questions and kept taking action.

I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's were the fun is.
