Success Principle #5

#5 The Power of Giving:

There is an old saying " the hole you give through is the hole you receive through."

Giving is like a boomerang, it always comes back to you.

We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.

When you give it away, you tell the universe that you can handle more.

We are judged by our actions, not by our intentions.

Start today, find away to give to someone who least expects it.

I will share #6 with you tomorrow.

Success Principle #4

The Power Of Partnerships:

Life is about building relationships.

You cannot succeed alone.

Your greatest competition is with yourself.

Choose your friends wisely. All of your relationships affect who you are and where you are going.

One of God's greatest gifts to us is our freedom of choice.

Remember who you choose to partner up with can make you or break you.

See you tomorrow for #5.

Success Principle #3

I want to share with you the 3rd power principle of success.

#3 The Power of Vision:

Vision is a mental picture of the life you want to have.

Remember that you can't be until you see. You cannot be or have anything bigger than what your mind can see.

See your dream, be crystal clear, write it down, and review it daily.

Create a dream board with pictures of how you see your life. When your mind see's this, it will gravitate towards this.

When your mind has a vision of what you want you to be, your paradigm changes and so do you.

Try taking some time today and create your dream board. This may be the first time for some of you to see what kind of life you really want. Many of you wake up everyday and take what is there, rather than getting up and going after what it is that you really want. Also, take a minute today to look into the mirror. When, what you see in that mirror changes, your world changes.

I'll see you tomorrow for another important principle. If any of these blogs are being enjoyed or you have a topic suggestion, please let me know with a comment.

Success Principle #2

I hope you gave some thoughts to yesterdays post. I want to share the second law of success with you today.

#2 The Power of Paradigms:

Creating a new paradigm is simple, just give up old thoughts and nurture positive thoughts.

Are your thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs limiting your success?

What you constantly think about is what you become. Fill your mind and thoughts on the true, noble, gracious-the best, not the worse: the beautiful , not the ugly: things to praise, not to curse.

To change paradigms, give new thoughts and attitudes more attention and old thoughts less.

The past does not equal the future.

When you start looking at the world and you differently, then you and the world becomes different.

See you tomorrow for Principle #3.

Seven Power Principles Of Success

Cracking the code of success is difficult for some people. If you understand the principles of success you too can enjoy the fruits of a successful life. We live in an orderly universe that is governed by distinct and definite laws. When we succeed, we succeed because we are living in alignment with those laws.

In the next seven days I want to share with you the seven principles or laws that can help you find unlimited success in all aspects of your life. I will share one principle per day with you. This will give you time to reflect on your life and determine how you can use that principle to move you towards greater success.

#1. The Power of Understanding:

God's greatest gift to you is your unlimited potential. Your greatest gift back, is to use that potential to the fullest.

Your current situation is a result of your past thoughts, decisions and actions. You control where you are and where you are going.

To change where you are, you have to change your attitude and change what you're doing.

When you change, your world changes.

Our purpose as humans is to create and express all that we can in life and grow into our highest potential.

Nothing in the universe stands still, it's always changing either better or worse.

Be very clear about what you focus on. What you focus on is what becomes. Focus on what you want more of.

You can't be it until you see it. You have to see it in your mind before you can get it in real life.

Up to this point you are exactly where you want to be based on your thoughts, actions, and decisions. When you decide to change these three things you and your world changes.

Spend some time today deciding how you are going to take more responsibility about where your life is and how you can begin to change it. We like to blame other people and things for the way our lives are, but the law says it's really just you.

I'll see you tomorrow for Principle #2.

Great Day for Your Daily walk

Spring has sprung and the sun is glowing. Take some time today to enjoy an outdoor walk.

3 Strikes For Cold Medicine

Children's cough and cold medicines have not been good news. A recent study in the Medical Journal Pediatrics mentions about the use of these cough and cold medicines in children under the age of 6 may cause as many as 500 child deaths a year, causing many to believe that the dangers are not worth the risk.

The first strike against cough and cold medicines came in 2006, when the (ACCP) American College of Chest Physicians stated that over-the -counter cough and cold medicines are ineffective in treating the underlying causes of the cough. The guidelines they presented strongly recommended against the use of such medicines ages 14 and younger.

Strike two came in 2008-that's when the F.D.A. issued a public health advisory recommending that over-the-counter cough and cold products not be given to infants and children under 2 years of age because of serious side effects.

We hope there is no third strike. Now that science is showing that they are neither effective or safe. Ask a HealthFirst Doctor about natural alternatives to these dangerous medicines.

Foods That Fight Cancer

For many years, various studies have shown that eating cruciferous vegetables can lower your risk of getting cancer. Some cruciferous vegetables are broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, cabbage, turnips, kale, radish and bok choy.

These vegetables have a unique compound called sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol. Both compounds allow the body to detoxify cancer-causing chemicals. They stop the growth of certain kinds of cancer cells.

Make sure you include these vegetables in your diet everyday.

My Skin Does What?

Your skin gives shape to your body.

The skin acts as a barrier, protecting the body from invading bacteria, virus, ect.

The skin acts as a thermostat and helps to regulate body temperature.

The skin senses environmental hazards, such as excess heat and cold.

The skin is the largest eliminative organ of the body. It uses sweat to help get rid of waste fluid and purify the body. As the body detoxifies, the skin responds with acne, eczema, psorasis, boils, ect. The pores of the skin allow the body to breath to rid itself of toxins. Clogged pores interfere with this function.

Your shower water is treated with many chemicals especially chlorine. The soaps and shampoos we use are made of many chemicals. Facial makeup, perfume and cologne all have many harmful chemicals. What you feed your body is very important and just as important is what you put on your skin. Give your skin a chance and take some time to review what you're feeding your skin. If you have questions about skin care, ask your HealthFirst Doctor.

Skin Facts

The skin is the largest organ of the body.

The skin of an average adult covers approximately 7 square feet of space.

The skin is 16% of a person's body weight.

Every hour, the skin sheds a layer of dead cells and totally renews itself every 3-4 weeks.

A person discards as much as 88 pounds of dead skin in a lifetime.

When it comes to feeding your skin with lotions, it would be well served to use natural products. Be careful of many lotions as they contain many dangerous chemicals. These chemicals are absorbed into your blood stream creating a toxic body. Anything you put on your skin, you should be able to put in your mouth, it all gets into your blood stream.

Frazzled at Work?

If you're feeling a lttle frazzled at work, I,ve got some pointers to help you reduce on the job stress.

1. Plan your day. Start your day by creating a "To Do" list. You will always be much more in control when you know what is going on in your day.

2. Do it right. Always get it done right the first time. Having to take time to do things over again can add a lot stress and time to your planned schedule.

3. Prioritize. Always work on what needs to be done first. When you're making out your plans for the day, keep in mind the importance of each item to be done and get what really needs to be done first. When putting off things that need to be done, the stress level rapidly increases.

4. Don't be afraid to say no. Before accepting another project or work, make sure you're able to complete your existing list.

5. Don't be afraid to ask for help. All great companies have teamwork. Asking for help can reduce stress and frustation.

Make it a great day today!!!

Exercise Your Core

Your core is the center of your body. The core consist of 29 muscles located in your pelvis, lower back, hips, and abdomen. Strengthening the core can correct postural imbalances, prevents lower back pain, reduces body tension, and improves coordination.

When you strengthen the core you stablize the spine, pelvis, shoulders, and improve overall body function.

You just need to take a few minutes each day at your home to work on core exercises. If you are not sure what to do, ask a HealthFirst Doctor to show you what you need to do to strenghten your core.

Top Six Causes of Death For Men

On average, women outlive men by roughly five years. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2003, life expectancy for men was 74.8 years as compared to 80.1 years for women.

Here are the top six causes of death for men:

1. Heart Disease

2. Cancer

3. Unintentional injuries

4. Stroke

5. Pulmonary Disease

6. Diabetes

The upside is that most of these killers are preventable with proper health care. This is just another reason why we should pay more attention to taking better care of ourselves.

Get Some Protein

Dietary protein is vital to our health. It plays a key role in muscle building and tissue maintenance, red blood cell formation, hormone synthesis, and hair and fingernail health.

Protein is very important in promoting healthy sugar metabolism. This is important for all of us , but especially for diabetic patients. Research indicates that eating moderate amounts of protein at regular meals and snacks helps to promote your blood sugar levels.

Here is a list of my favorite proteins: eggs, fish(halibut, sardines, salmon), cheese, cottage cheese, beans, chicken, and steel cut oatmeal.

When its difficult to get the proper amount of protein, I recommend a protein shake using Standard Processes Powered Whey Protein Mix. This protein powder mix can be used in a shake or just sprinkled on your food. This contains 15 grams of protein per serving. It supplies just 80 calories and contains no artificial flavorings found in most protein powders.

Ask your HealthFirst Doctor about your protein intake.

Healthy Sweeteners

Imagine being able to enjoy delicious sweet-tasting foods without the calories of sugar or the health risk of artificial sugars.

Now you can with Stevia and Lakanto.

These two amazing, all natural calorie free, sugar substitutes should be used instead of white refined sugar or artificial sweeteners.

In general, both Stevia and Lakanto are excellent sweeteners for just about any foods you want to sweeten.

Stevia is best used for hot and cold drinks and cereals.
Lakanto is best used in baking.

Whether you use Stevia or Lakanto, it's great to have the option to choose healthy all natural sweeteners.

The Moo Factor

This is an important time in your life. The MOO factor is the "Margin of Opportunity"

It is from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed. What you do or don't do during this time will determine the quality of your health. This margin of time will determine if your time is spent to improve your health or to decrease your health.

Will you find time to exercise? Will you make good decisions on eating quality foods. Will you enjoy the day with a happy attitude? Will you be thankful and have an attitude of gratitude?

One of our greatest gifts is to have the Choice on how we decide to enjoy each day and on how we take care of our bodies.

Remember you only get one body, take care of it.

Eat Those Eggs

Eggs are one of the healthiest foods we can eat. There are proteins found in eggs that seem to lower high blood pressure.

It is a myth that eggs are unhealthy and full fof cholesterol. Scientists have identified several peptides in eggs that act as Ace Inhibitors which lowers your blood pressure. This means that you will actually lower your chance of heart disease by eating eggs.

Cholesterol is in every cell in your body, where it helps to produce cell membranes, hormones, vitamin D and bile salts. It also helps in the formation of memories and is important to your neurological function.

The International Journal of Cardiology published a research that showed eating eggs everyday would not cause an increase in cholesterol levels.

Have fun, eat those eggs. I might suggest that you buy your eggs from your local farmer or buy organic eggs from your local market.

Fruits With the Most Pesticides

The USDA conducted 43,000 tests for fruits and pesticides and here are the surprising results.
The top four loaded fruits sprayed with the most pesticides are: Peaches, Apples, Strawberry, and Pears. These four almost double the amount of pesticides compared to other fruits.

This may be a good reason to take extra time cleaning these fruits before eating. Better yet, try to buy these fruits organicly grown. These are pesticide free. These are great fruits and should continue to be eaten.

Free Range Chicken

Free range chickens have been a popular marketing tool. Technically, free range chickens must have access to the outdoors for at least 51 percent of their lives, but the USDA, which approves each manufacturer's "free range" claim on a case-by-case basis, does not strictly define "outdoors." The term could mean anything from idyllic open acreage to a puny pen.

I'm sure that there are some manufactures that really to let their chickens roam free, but many do not. Just having a little door to be able to go outside can be termed a free range chicken, it may never see outdoors.

I still like the idea of free range and no antibiotic chickens. We need to do some homework on the company we buy our chickens from.

Brain Care

Taking care of your brain is very important especially as we age.

Here are four keys to a healthy brain.
1. Stay active. movement and exercises improves cognitive function. Exercise increases blood flow to the brain.

2. Get your proper amount of sleep. The brain moves memories into long-term storage during deep sleep. If this process is interrupted it can interfer with this process.

3. B vitamins are important especially vitamin B-12. Take Cataplex B and G to get the proper amounts of B vitamins.

4. Be careful on your medications. Some medications can cloud your brain activities.

How Harmful Are Your Radiation Tests?

Everyday we are exposed to natural radioactive materials, just by living here on earth.A recent article helps put some radiation test into perspective.

X-rays: X-rays penetrate the body, but not the bones. One chest x-ray gives off the same amount of radiation as a person would receive naturally in ten days.

CT Scans: These are 3-D x-rays, taken multiple times to show several layers of bone and muscle. The amount of radiation varies depending on the area scanned. A CT of the abdomen or spine, for example, equals three years of daily radiation. But a head a head scan equals eight months' worth.

Ultrasound: This test uses acoustic radiation, or sound waves, to shoe an internal body part and does not pose a radiation risk.

MRI: These do not use radiation. Instead, it uses magnets and a radio-frequency pulse that tracks the hydrogen atoms in the body to create an image.

Bone-Density Test: This test uses X-ray technology, but at a very low dose. One scan is equal to one day of natural radiation.

Did You Know?

Did you know that Chiropractic discovered over a century ago, is now the most widely used natural health profession in the world. It is the most popular drug-free, surgery-free healthcare system in the world, offering you and your family a real choice. www.drschone.com

Sugar May be Addictive

Science continues to show that sugar can be addictive. Leading researcher Bart Hoebel, a professor of psychology at Princeton University said "drinking large amounts of sugar water when hungry can cause behavioral changes and even neurochemical changes in the brain.

These changes are also evident in fattening foods and have an impact on the regulating mechanism that breaks down your sense of fullness, makes you feel an urge to go back and get that blast of sugar and this creates the vicious cycle of weight gain.

Watch what you put into your mouth. It just might be the most important thing you do today.
