Wellness Check

People are struggling nowadays more than I ever remember or imagined. Many feel alone, like they have no one to talk to. Some feel ashamed because they have never experienced the emotional turbulence they are experiencing. If you feel like I’m describing you, I want you to know that you are not alone.

I encourage you to reach out to someone. Anyone. There are crisis hotlines you can call anonymously. Talk to someone. There’s something magical about talking things out. You get some peace, even for a short while.

If you haven’t heard from someone you normally would, give them a call. You might be their last, best hope…

Ageless

In Austin, Texas, it seems like there is a plastic surgeon’s office on every street corner. People are spending tremendous amounts of money trying to stave off the aging process.

If you truly want to age in reverse, get some exercise 4-5 times per week. Mix it up so it stays interesting. Push yourself, but do not over exert your body. Lift weights and do Pilates. Take a “before” picture and then take another in three months. You will notice a considerable difference…

Medicated

It seems like every third commercial on television is a drug commercial. “Have you ever felt depressed? Try Abilify.” We are being brainwashed into believing pills will solve our problems. They won’t.

There’s a tremendous amount of credible research dating back to the 1940’s which shows the efficacy of psychedelics in treating depression, anxiety and addiction. I’m not surprised they are illegal because the pharmaceutical industry has the largest lobby in Washington DC. Get the connection?

There are people who need antidepressants for chemical depression. There’s no shame in that. But we can control our health through diet and exercise. And we value our health more when we earn it.

Let’s turn the tables on the pharmaceutical industry and reclaim our health naturally. We earn it…

How Is It Going?

We are seven weeks into 2023. Did you make any New Year’s Resolutions? It’s estimated that 95% of resolutions involve fitness. That’s a good thing.

The bad news is, about 90% of fitness goals are abandoned before the end of January. Old, bad habits return, and self-esteem takes a hit.

Getting fit and staying healthy should be fun! But so many people go about it wrong. They start jogging and eating like a rabbit. Where’s the fun in that? Not to mention you won’t get the results you desire.

Here’s some advice: get a trainer who understands your fitness goals for your body. They will make a plan, and guide you through exercises which will strengthen you and benefit you in the long term. You need to lift weights, and you need to eat. Lifting will make you hungry as hell. Don’t starve yourself! Eat!

If you have given up on your fitness goals for 2023, I encourage you to try again. The only failures are the ones who quit…

Fitness

What did you think when you saw the title of the blog? Maybe you pictured someone who is in great physical shape. Perhaps you thought of yourself in the gym.

Fitness is more than just the physical. We must exercise mentally, emotionally and spiritually as well. The more we work at it, the stronger we became in all those areas. Take care of yourself so the best version of you shines through…

Suicide Awareness…

September is officially the month designated as Suicide Awareness Month. In 2016, suicide became the #2 killer of our kids. It still rages on. Mental health has been shredded through the pandemic. People feel isolated and alone. Hope has been lost. Make sure you are staying connected with your family and friends. If you get a vibe from someone that they might be contemplating suicide, encourage them to seek help. Suicide awareness is a daily practice…

Good Health…

Good health is within your reach if you really want it. Get plenty of rest, eat good, natural foods, exercise for an hour every day, read good books and articles, and take time to connect with other people. You will live longer and feel better. The choice is ours…
