“The average human looks without seeing, listens without hearing, touches without feeling, eats without tasting, moves without physical awareness, inhales without awareness of odor or fragrance…and talks without thinking.”   Leonardo da Vinci

What one thing can you do, starting today, to make 2008 a healthier year?

Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?  (1 Corinthians 3:16; NKJ)

Dr. Emil Mondoa states that “right intent is the first step to good health.  A person with the right intent will naturally have a positive attitude, cultivate good health habits, eat the right foods, do the right kinds of exercises, and, in all likelihood, live healthier and longer than someone who just lets things slide.”  What is your “intent” for 2008?

Have you thought about your health and weight with the advent of a new year?  We all know that many, many people at this time of year “determine” through “resolutions” that this will be THE year to lose weight and get healthy, or to start working out at the gym and get fit!  And we all know that the majority of time, these “resolutions” quickly fall by the wayside.

As a coach, I’m determined to have anyone who truly wants to change, become empowered to make better choices for their health.  Think about one thing you can do, starting today to follow through with the right intent.  Here are a few suggestions to “prime the pump.”
Drink one more glass of water and/or one LESS can of soda.
Choose to eat one yellow or orange vegetable (fresh and raw).
Choose to eat one red fruit (fresh and raw).
Purposely park the car away from the door of the store and enjoy walking the distance, knowing it’s helping you.
Breathe deeply.
Hug your spouse or child.
Eat one more green salad this week.
Have whole grain bread once a day, instead of three times.
Get to bed before 11:00 PM.
Talk with someone who regularly goes to a gym and find out what they like about it.  Find out information that will empower you to help decrease the intimidation factor of going to a gym.

Choose something from the list and begin!  You can do it!  I believe in YOU!
