TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

"Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live."
Jim Rohn

LIFE

FEEL FREE TO CHOOSE...

Think through your decisions

Think through your decisions: first decide “what” result you want, then decide the “price” you’re willing to pay to get it. Once you’ve mapped it out, your decision is no longer seen as an “obstacle” to overcome, but rather a “choice” you’ve personally made to partake and to succeed in it.

When making decisions in this fashion, we align ourselves to being more responsible for our decisions, rather than blaming others for them. We can be more inspired in taking ownership and pride in their outcome. Supposed "failures" are no longer seen as "defeats" but rather a place of growth and learning. "Failures" are then just a process of elimination which serves as markers of "what doesnt work" for us to have reference of next time. Sometimes that very place, if understood in perspective, can also ignite the makings of new creative works.

GENTLE RULES

FINALLY!!!! PEACE...

My biggest lessons from 2012 (I dedicated my all to train for 2004 and 2012 Olympic trials and failed to make the team twice) finally realized in 2013. 

Personally, i struggled for some time as to why my dream did not become my reality after dedicating a great part of my late 20's to 30's to my Olympic dream.  

My mentor and social activist/humanitarian, Arthur Ashe said it best, "You've got to get to the stage in life where going for it is more important than winning or losing."  

After years, months and moments of temporary mental defeat, it was all clear to me!  Thank you, Arthur!  This is what I learned.

• make a plan 
• have faith in the plan
• make a positive decision about your plan and continue to do so
• the end will play out the way it should

What brings you moments of temporary defeat that having a plan and making a decision would give you clarity?

BE A PROBLEM SOLVER

Solve problems don't complain about em!!!

GET WHAY YOU WANT NOW!!

Not getting what you want out of your efforts/life? Here is a tip, genuinely help others get what they want and YOU will get what your seeking..
"Give and it shall be given onto you..." Bible

Don't give up!!!

If at first you don't succeed try and try again!!!

Path of Least Resistance

Do not justify bad behaviors or fall into cycles of negative
reinforcement. If you are inactive, make consequences for
yourself. Get your friends involved, have them
withhold something you value if you do not
meet your goals. Expose all the escape routes
you have made for yourself and shut them
off. I know of many people who started on
their journey only to go back to their negative
habits. When things get tough, repeat my
pledge. You can attain success and freedom.

It’s Thursday afternoon at 3 p.m. and I’m hungry. I’m also on deadline and don’t have time to make myself a nutritious snack, so I reach for the easiest thing to munch on—ice cream—and sit in front of my computer for another four hours. My well-intended workout plans are a distant memory. Oh well, there’s always tomorrow.

Sound familiar?

If you’re anything like me, you find it difficult to stay healthy while also working far more than 40 hours every week. This is a frustrating fact and—in light of coming New Year’s resolutions—I’m ready to make a change. So I called up two small business owners and a fitness expert to glean a few tips on losing the pounds and getting in a better routine come 2012. First up: Laura Zander, the very-fit owner of Jimmy Beans Wool in Reno, Nevada.

“I do think it’s possible for a business owner to stay healthy, you just need to take out the guilt associated with stepping away from your company,” she says.

Zander does this by using her exercise time as what she calls “brain clearing time.” Walks with her dogs turn into brainstorming sessions for her business, and elliptical workouts translate into time to research on her iPad.

Another tactic that works: staying away from sweets. Zander doesn’t let herself have food in her office, and tries to eat light throughout the day, always waiting until dinner to have her largest meal.

How does she maintain such enviable willpower?

“It’s the same way you have the willpower to work 16 hours per day; I’m stubborn and don’t want to work to lose the weight, so I try not to gain the weight,” she says.

Next, I checked in with the 7-months-pregnant Jennifer Berson, founder of Jeneration PR in Sherman Oaks, California. Although she admits to eating junk food while pregnant (who can blame her?), Berson usually stays away from the sweet stuff and makes sure to attend at least two exercise classes per week.

“It’s hard, but I’ve found that I have to schedule working out just like any other activity—if I put it on my calendar, it’s a little easier to incorporate into my day,” she says.

When that doesn’t work, she and her team will have dance parties in the office. Yes, that’s right…dance parties.

“We will stop working for 10 minutes, crank up some Black Eyed Peas and just start dancing around our desks; it always changes our moods and we come back to work happy and energized,” she says.

While these are great ideas, I needed more. So I called up Don Miguel a personal trainer out of Dallas, Texas (who also happens to be training for the 2012 London Olympics) to get a few more tips.

Have a plan

As a small business owner himself, Miguel finds time to train by keeping a tight schedule. He’s up at 5 a.m. to workout and never misses a day. And while you may not be training for the Olympics, you can still learn from his advice.

“Set boundaries with your time; you can work 18 hours a day, but just make sure to take time off for lunch and your workout—think ahead and plan,” he suggests.

Keep water on hand

According to Miguel, most people have trouble differentiating thirst from hunger. So keep a full water bottle within reach and take a swig every time you get the urge—it can help curb snacking cravings.

Eat with intention

It’s easy to reach for the sweets or savories, but try keeping more healthy treats around such as nuts, fruits and vegetables.

“This goes back to having a plan—think about what you will eat during the day; it’s not bad to have a bag of potato chips, but make sure to eat them in moderation,” he says.

Breathe

Stress can lead to overeating and an increase in blood pressure. Miguel says it’s vital to take 30 seconds and focus on your breathing.

“A mere 30 seconds may seem like infinity to stop what you are doing at your desk, but it can relax your shoulders and decrease your stress level,” he says.

Breathe deeply through your nose and out your mouth, Miguel advises. And do it as often as possible—during your lunch break, when your boss gets on your nerves, when you go for a walk…anytime is a good time to take a moment for yourself.

STAY THE PATH

today don't aim for perfection or what's ideal, but strive to be consistent!
