Learn To Love Water

Water is dull – plain and tasteless (except when it tastes bad!) and you can’t chew it.  However, you should consume 8 to 10 glasses of water per day! Remember, just because you don’t feel thirty doesn’t mean that your body doesn’t need water. Our thirst mechanism isn’t one of our better regulatory devices – it tends to lag well behind our fluid requirements. By the time you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated (don’t leave it until then!). We are constantly in a state of water loss. When we aren’t sweating, we are losing water through skin evaporation.

Likewise, every breath we take removes another drop or two of the moisture that coats the surface area of our lungs. More than any other element, water is what keeps us going. Water is the body’s transport system – the medium for the delivery of the oxygen and nutrients we need and the elimination of what we don’t need. Water is one of the vehicles for regulating our internal temperature. Water acts as a cushion for our joints and it fills our cells and intercellular spaces. Water is what gives form to our bodies.

Consuming adequate amounts of water is one way to postpone and relieve kidney problems. Given the rate of increase in kidney disease, this is a matter of growing importance to our health. Memory loss, dizziness, fatigue, poor cognitive function, And headaches may stem from dehydration and can often be alleviated by increased water intake. When you are feeling tired, on edge, experiencing a slight headache, or hunger pangs, you may actually be experiencing mild dehydration. Drinking water rather than having a nap would make you feel better. Drinking lots of water can help improve your health, your appearance and your cognitive function. Attempt to consume 2 glasses of water when you first wake up, and 2 more glasses of water before every meal. If you follow this rule, you will find it much easier to reach your goal of 8 glasses of water a day!

Cheers!

Think Twice, Speak Once

The idea of choosing your words carefully sounds easy enough, but how many times do you end up with your foot in your mouth? Everyone can probably recall a situation where someone offended them by saying something rude or out of line. These comments are not only embarrassing, but they can also damage relationships. Even the way you talk to yourself can be hurtful. Instead of saying “I can’t,” replace it with “I wish.”  Swap “I’m a failure” with “I didn’t succeed this time.” If you say the wrong thing in front of others, chances are that people will remember it. Wouldn’t you prefer to be remembered for something more positive? Once you have said something out loud it cannot be taken back, and rarely can it be undone even with a tremendous amount of work.

How To Be As BOLD AS A LION!

This may be a little off topic for you Uxbridge fitness buffs, but it is TOTALLY relevant! 

I got this email from Jeff Anderson of www.MuscleNerdFitness.com and thought you’d like it!  The following article comes from Master Scott Bolan – a pretty interesting guy – who has spent YEARS of intensely studying not only Martial Arts, Combat, Warrior Fitness and Strength; but also Art, Philosophy, Mind Control, Persuasion, Seduction, Sales, Negotiation and even Firewalking.

As Jeff pointed out in his email, “the fact is that fear actually can have a white-knuckle grip on so many parts of our lives.

…fear of failure

…fear of gaining weight

…fear of LOSING weight (yes…it happens!)

…fear of ANYTHING can hold us back from being our best and reaching for the stars!”

I sincerely hope this article helps YOU as much as it has my other Uxbridge personal training clients…

“How To Be As Bold As A LION!”

By Master Scott Bolan

===========================================

Bruce Lee said “consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to mankind.”

He was absolutely correct. Self-consciousness is another word for self-doubt, which is a form of fear.

And fear is your enemy’s greatest weapon againstyou. It’s also the greatest obstacle between you and anything you desire.

The way to get rid of fear, permanently, is to train your mind to give up your emotional attachment to the outcome.

What I mean by that is – have you ever noticed the guy who has all the hot women acts as if he couldn’t care less? But the guy who is desperate couldn’t get a date to save his life. You could say the guy with all the girls has lots of money, but that is rarely the case.

Have you ever noticed that someone with money tends to make more money? But the guy who’s broke tends to constantly be broke and struggling to get by?

The desperate guy in both situations is emotionally attached to the outcome. He “needs it too badly.”

Thus, he is sending out an energy that is actually pushing away what he wants.

The one who has all the money, the hot chicks, etc, is putting off a different type of energy that attracts rather than repels. It’s not about which products he uses or how many times over you he has to buy a safety razor blade refill for his ever present lion mane, no it’s deeper than that.

Does that make sense?

And although when reading the above situations one wouldn’t think of fear, in fact they are both fear-based situations.

The desperate guy unknowingly is afraid of not having the money, afraid of not having a pretty girlfriend, etc.

So afraid in fact that he is attracting that which he fears.

And thus the wisdom of Bruce Lee’s words “consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to mankind.”

It applies to every area of life.

So you may be thinking “how do I start if I don’t have what I want to begin with?”

Simple!

Train your mind to let go of your emotional attachment to the outcome, and Be as Bold as a Lion.

A Lion isn’t afraid of you. He isn’t afraid of losing. He doesn’t even think about it.

He just attacks, instinctively.

Go for what you want in that way.

Kick the ball out ahead of you and chase it, and stop thinking so much.

I’m not saying to be careless and foolhardy. I’m saying develop the Lion’s Intuitive Instinct and replace your self-doubt with it.

If you look deep enough, you’ll find self-doubt affecting everything you do.

But as of right now, it doesn’t have to be that way any longer.

With Martial Mastery you’ll now get the solution.

Once you understand it, and then apply it forevermore it will become as natural as breathing.

Yours in Warrior Wisdom,

Master Scott Bolan
