Your Internal Thermostat

Thermostat

Even on the most scorching summer afternoon, the thermostat in your house controls the temperature. You can choose to have the ceiling fans going, or you open up the house to receive the sea breezes.

And when it comes to your fat loss results, believe it or not, your most powerful internal thermostat isn’t your metabolism. No, it’s something far more critical to your success. I’m talking about your self image. You see, the image you have in your mind of yourself — how fit you can be, how much you can accomplish, how successful you can become — sets the bar for what you can and will achieve.

Whatever you set that image to be, it will never go higher.

Working in the health industry for more than a decade, I’ve found time and time again that the biggest limiting factor in the transformation process is what people believe about themself.

Unfortunately, most people have a negative vision of their life, or at least one that is very self-limiting. Many people believe they will only accomplish as much as their parents did, or that they’re body will always look like the current image they hold in their mind of themself.

Mental Images

When obstacles arise, most people don’t see themself as rising above or as a conqueror…instead they focus on the obstacle itself, and how unfair it is to be faced with it, instead of the immense glory and strength in overcoming it.

Think about the image you hold of yourself in your mind. Do you see yourself achieving everything you set out to do, living your dreams? Or do you feel that where you currently are is as far as you will go?

Do you see the body you’re working toward, or do you see the body you’ve been trapped in for too long?

Even worse, do you see your life on the decline, instead of the incline?

What images are you creating in your mind today? If they are the wrong images, you’ll never be able to rise above that internal thermostat until you change those images into the truth about who you are. YOU are special. You are unique. And you can change where you currently are for the things you set out to achieve.

You see, as humans we continue to achieve the standards we set in front of us.

If as we look ahead we see nothing more than where we currently are, there’s no room for growth, nowhere to go.

If the image in our mind is one in which our best days are behind us (perhaps the body we had back in our high school or college days), it’s impossible to achieve more.

But if instead you expand your vision and paint a picture of yourself achieving big things, great things, incredible things…then and only then will you be able to change where you are.

Today, it’s time we all reset the thermostat. Crank it up a few degrees, and start believing and reaching for more. Paint your next masterpiece in your mind; embrace it, believe it, and go after it. The picture you paint is the picture that you’ll move toward.

Make sure it’s the right image.

Nail Problems? These Nutritional Changes Will Make A Difference Right Away

Nail Problems

Nail problems – Are your nails brittle? Do they crack or peel more often than they used to?

The solution could be easier than you think.

For starters, try giving your nails a quick filing every other day. That keeps the edges smooth so they’re less likely to snag and break. Always file in the same direction – never use a back-and-forth “sawing” motion.

The next step is to strengthen weak nails at the source. Here are some top natural remedies to your biggest nail problems…

1. Peeling. If your nails are peeling, dryness is probably the cause. Just as your skin loses moisture with each passing year, your nails lose natural oils. Exposure to harsh detergents and acetone nail polish remover can accelerate the effects.

Quick fix:
I have suggested to hydrate their nails by soaking them in olive oil a few times a week. And before bed every night,
apply a thin layer of castor oil to the nails and cuticles. You should see a difference within a week or two.

Nail Problems
Weak nails may be a sign that you need more nutrients

2. Ridges. If your nail beds have an uneven, ridged surface, you might be missing out on a vitamin B12, also known as methylcobalamin. Other signs can be you aren’t getting enough B12 are dry, brittle hair, fatigue and memory loss.

Quick fix:
Suggestion at least 100 mcg of vitamin B12 every day. Meat, fish and eggs are the best sources.


3. Breaking.
Weak nails may be a sign that you need more nutrients – specifically, the structural proteins and amino acids that your nails are made out of.

Quick fix:
Here are three things you could do to nourish your nails for a stronger, smoother manicure…

*One of Nail problems Solution – Animal protein.

Remember that your body doesn’t store protein, so you need to have it at every meal.
Get all the grass-fed meat you can, because it’s rich in protein and the eight essential amino acids you need.
Free-range eggs and wild-caught fish are also great sources of protein. If you’re a vegetarian, you’re missing out on 12 essential nutrients you need every day – including coenzyme Q10 and vitamins A, B12 and D. I recommend getting more protein from spirulina, quinoa and hempseed.

* Biotin.
Also called vitamin B7, biotin is well-known for toughening up weak nails. You can get more biotin from liver, egg yolks, nuts, cauliflower, milk and legumes.

* Silica.
This mineral gives your nails their structure. It’s a great way to help weak, brittle nails grow back stronger than ever. Seafood, green beans, spinach, root vegetables and beer are good sources of silica. One of the best natural source in the supplement world is bamboo extract.

These nutritional changes will begin to make a difference right away, but your nails can only grow about two to three millimeters every month. In research it is said it takes six to nine months to get a completely new set.

Have an awesome week!

Cleaning Up For Your Life?

Clean Up Your Life

This year, my suggestion is to move beyond the traditional routine of cleaning out your cupboards and closets and consider rearranging and reorganizing other areas of your life.

Things like your exercise routine, your makeup drawer and your mind.

Below are some of the most effective ways to clean up your life.

Tips for Cleaning, assisting with Anti-Ageing of our bodies and lifting our Spirits.

Makeup Drawer

Clean out your makeup drawer – Clearing out your makeup drawer once a year makes room for new products and colors. As you clean out your makeup drawer, take time to wash your brushes thoroughly. Natural oils and embedded makeup accumulate deep in the bristles over time, which invites bacteria.

I recommend Enviro Clean dishwashing liquid as a quick way to remove oil from brushes thoroughly. It’s even used to clean birds and other wildlife that have been exposed to oil spills. If it can clean the birds, it can certainly remove oil from your brushes.This is especially true if you’re like most women and you accumulate cosmetics by the bagful over the course of a year.

Another advantage is you’ll likely find products at the bottom of your makeup case or drawer that Purge The Fridgeyou forgot about. Like that fabulous pink lipstick you bought but never wore.

Purge the Fridge – This is a good time to go through the refrigerator and throw away all your expired foods.
It’s easy to dispose of spoiled fruits and vegetables when they’re past their prime,
but it’s a little harder to pay attention to expiration dates on cans and bottles.
I like to read the expiration dates every few weeks just to make sure everything I eat is fresh.

Reshape Your Attitude –This is a way of raising your spirits, especially if you tend to suffer from the winter blues.
Make the most of this uplifting time and write out a list of all the things for which you feel grateful.
This will remind you of all the blessings in your life and will lift your spirits. After all, gratitude is good for the soul.
Plus, gratitude has a magical way of zapping away anger, disappointment and anything else that might be making you feel bad.
I also encourage you to dispel old grudges, call a friend you may have had a falling out with, or stop procrastinating and finally start that new project you want to tackle.

Attitude Of Gratitude

Let this be a time for renewal, reorganization and revitalization in your life!

More thoughts on reshaping your attitude next week.

Here’s to remaining youthful!
