Connecting My Life With Relationships

Cindy — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 15:42:07 +0000

I realized, that once again, there is synergy in my four areas of growth - they all rely on relationships. After all, isn't that what love is all about? Relationships?
We must truly connect - not just be in the same room. To do that, I have to step out of my comfort zone on a regular basis and make a true effort to understand before I strive to be understood.

Happy New Year!

I, along with most of the world today, have high hopes for 2011. I have my goals in place and my New Year resolutions ready and waiting to be accomplished. What causes us to lose focus? We don't always get what we want, but we DO get what we expect and on what we continually put our focus. So, if we were somehow able to keep our expectations and focus on those same things that we are most likely focused on today, wouldn't we get what we want? One of my goals for this year is to help you to stay motivated and inspired to be your best and to live your dreams. I know that the best way to help myself is to help others. I know that what I sow, I will reap and what I give, I will get. So, if I'm continuously giving those things I want and focusing on those things I want and helping others with those things I want for myself, 2011 will HAVE to be a good year. Continue reading →

Getting in Shape Update

Cindy — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:23:28 +0000

I don't know if you are tired of reading posts about my getting in shape, but I'm getting tired of writing them. This will be my last one - at least for a very long while. I don't want to focus on it anymore since it's a new habit. It's not like I focus on brushing my teeth every day even though I DO brush my teeth every day. Brushing my teeth and wellness are both just a part of my morning routine now. Continue reading →

Getting in Shape Update

Cindy — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 16:07:43 +0000

I haven't given you an update lately. I hope you assumed that no news is good news and didn't think I had given up :) I haven't posted because I'm really trying to make this just something that I do and not make it an issue. I've continued to do the yoga 5 days each week. I am REALLY enjoying the yoga once I get started. I still dread it a bit until I get started, but the degree of dread is slowly going down. I do feel better when I'm done and I think it helps me feel better all day long. I'm trying to remind myself of that when I'm laying in bed dreading getting up because I know I have to face Rodney Yee again with those sometimes impossible poses he seems to throw at me before I've had my coffee. Actually, I'm falling in love with him and dreading him less and less :) Continue reading →

Getting in Shape update

Cindy — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:11:55 +0000

I've lost count of how many days or weeks it's been since I started my quest to get in shape. That's a good thing. :) ... Yesterday I started taking a whole food multi-vitamin. I'm focusing on vibrant health and more energy. It must be working because I think I had a brilliant idea today. Some of the folks I've shared it with think I've lost my mind. They may be right, but I think it's brilliant. I think it was an inspired thought and now I'm going to take inspired action. :) Continue reading →

Getting the Emotions Out of the Equation

Cindy — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 20:27:16 +0000

When I wallow in the bad emotion of hating exercise, it drains my energy! It takes a lot of energy to hate something. It takes a lot of energy to come up with a million reasons of how I can get out of my exercise today. It takes more mental energy to feel all that than it takes physical energy to just go ahead and DO IT! So, 'taking the emotion out' means to do it without thinking about it at all - or do it with the right attitude and thinking that God would place on it... I AM saying that some things aren't worth good or bad emotions. They are just there. They are just something we do. And we just do them without thinking. They take little mental energy that way. Our metal energy is saved for the things that REALLY matter such as our passions, our relationships, and our new and exciting experiences. Continue reading →

Getting in Shape Day 5

Cindy — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 03:24:32 +0000

I think I have to make my weight and body image a non-issue. How do I do that? I don't think ignoring the problem is the answer. I need to take action, even if it's to get my mind moving in the right direction. I think, for me, it's more about taking the emotion out of it. I have to get it set in my mind that my lifestyle must change so that this is a non-issue. I am now an active person. I MUST be. I have to trust the process. I have to build these things into my day and not stress about them. Just accept that these are things I must do like brush my teeth or go to the bathroom. It's just something that has to be done. I must quit making a big deal about it and just do it without even thinking. Continue reading →

Getting in Shape – Day 4

Cindy — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:09:52 +0000

Today, I feel like crap! Remind me why I'm doing this??? ... Focusing on my body is not fun for me. I can think of a million other things that I would rather be doing. Making my blog about health and fitness was not in my grand scheme of things. But, when I started trying to figure out where I should start to help others be successful in their business, I had to face the facts. The thing that has helped me make changes in my life in the past has been to gain more self-confidence and more self-control by taking control of my body through focusing on wellness. ... Today I can focus on the pain I have and still do the exercises or I can focus on the future I know I have and do the exercises. Either way, I'll do the exercises. But, which way will cause the exercises to bring me the most benefit? I CHOOSE to focus on the bright future ahead and the more fit body I will have because I KNOW focusing on that will give me much more energy and enthusiasm while I exercise. Continue reading →

Getting In Shape Update – Day 3

Cindy — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:28:50 +0000

I was really sore yesterday. I was amazed that just walking and Yoga could make me that sore! I guess that's a good thing. I felt as if it must be working :) At least until I got dressed to go to my office in Nashville. Then I felt fatter than ever. I started to get a little depressed. It just doesn't seem to work as quickly as I would like for it to work. I also know and believe that as long as I feel fat, I will not get the momentum and energy headed in the right direction. I will get whatever I focus on, so if I focus on what I don't want, that's exactly what I will get. Continue reading →
