Your Health Goals Are In Reach
Posted by | Posted in Health | Posted on 18-04-2010
I feel blessed to have had the chance to create health and wellness in my life, after years of battling disease. I have studied natural health for many years, as a way of managing lupus/SLE. In 1995 I began coaching others to greater health and I have developed some beliefs along the way.
Here are two of my beliefs on creating more wellness into your life. One is to focus on the health goal and the other is that health is a mental, emotional, spiritual and physical balance. It does not do permanent good to support one area of health, without exploring how you can support the others.
One: Focus on the health goal
Most of us have areas of our health that we would like to improve, even if we do not have a dis-ease. If dis-ease has shown up in your life, just think of it as a loud message from your body telling you it needs to be supported, in a new and better way.
If there are symptoms in your life that you are experiencing, stop trying to find a label to attach to the illness before you take steps to better health. I believe there are infinite paths to wellness but the basic steps to wellness are the same.
The first step is to decide what your “health goal” is. What do you want your life to be like?
Two: Health is a mental, emotional, spiritual and physical balance.
Health goals need to be made in all four areas of our health, because what affects us in one area of our lives often shows up in another. It usually isn’t until it shows up in the physical, that we take notice and start to take action.
I coach people to find new positive lifestyle changes that will support their health goals and that they feel they can commit to for a 90 day period (most habits take 90 days to engrain in our system).
The lifestyle changes you make in your life do not have to be drastic. I am not a chemist but I do know that if you change even the smallest chemical ingredient, in a formula, you will get a different result. Even the smallest, positive lifestyle change you make, will bring you better results over time.
Also, positive lifestyle changes Do NOT have to cost money so stop putting them off, until you can afford them. For example, if you have a weight loss goal you could make changes as slight as these:
Walk everyday for 15 minutes, instead of waiting to be able to afford a gym membership.
Skip the french fries when you order your Value Meal, instead of waiting to join Jenny Craig.
Do an exercise for yourself right now. Write down a health goal you have, and think of three things that you can do that would be a positive step towards that goal. These are physical actions. Then think of three things that you can do to positively impact your mental, emotional & spiritual well being.
Make sure steps you write down are things that you can see yourself committing to for ninety days and then write a positive affirmation, intention, or mission statement. Whatever you choose to call the final result.
Here is an example:
I am joyfully improving my physical health by walking 15 minutes a day. I have replaced my emotional eating patterns, by spending more time with supportive people and making time to volunteer. Each day I write down the things I am grateful for, which feeds my spirit . I make a list each night, before I go to bed, of the things I need to accomplish which frees my mind and helps my sleep.
Find examples that work for you! This is what I do when health coaching. I help you design a new plan for life that embraces healthy new habits. I do not tell you what you should do, but give you ideas on what you possibly could do and then do my best to point you in a positive direction. The rest is up to you.
This whole process needs to be FUN for you. I believe that until you find changes that excite and resonate with you…..you will continue to put them off.
If you are the type of person that needs accountability to stay on track, think about forming a Health Coaching circle of 3-4 friends, who also want to make new lifestyle changes. Then hold each other accountable, on a weekly group phone call or meeting. It is much harder to avoid your action steps when others are involved and committed to helping you achieve your goals.
Another way to get motivated, is to start thinking TODAY of what interest you have been wanting to explore and have put off, due to your current health situation. What about classes you have wanted to take or places you want to visit?
For health tips look at books, videos or CD’s that relate to health and pick the ones that you can’t wait to get into. Prevention magazine is an abundant source of ideas, if you can get past the prescription advertisements.
Also, ask healthy friends for ideas of what they do to stay in good health. They may want company for the healthy activities they are involved in and it’s great to have mentors.
I want you to JUMP at this chance for a new and healthy life. It’s waiting out there for you! If I can do anything to help you, just call, but honestly YOU are the one who can help YOU the most.

Help answer the question about health
How does the French health insurance system work ?Ok so im still writing this essay on how the health systems in france. However I do not understand how their health insurance works. So could someone explain it simply please. I understand that most of their Health expenses is covered by the state- but that is all i get.
What motivates a person is unique to each individual. Here is a program that will work:
1) Be specific regarding the goal such as:
–improve cardio-vascular fitness
–increase body tone
–lose xxx pounds
–make your goal measurable
2) Be realistic:
Don't set yourself up to fail by setting an unhealthy and/or unrealistic goal such as "lose 30 pounds this month".
3) Create and follow-through on do-able action steps each week that move you toward your goal.
4) Give yourself rewards that you like:
a manicure, a movie, a trip to the golf course???
5) Create accountability:
tell someone you TRUST about your goals. Ask him or her to provide the specific type of support you'd like. Maybe a check-in weekly? If you don't trust your friends or family to provide this, a Wellness Coach can help.
6) Keep your eyes on the prize — visualize how you want to be. Keep reminders around you — someplace where you will see them. On the fridge, or on your car dash board.
Good luck!

Why do I get thes baby health videos as an add when I open youtube? Its fuckin annoying. I would not mind these retarded videos otherwise perhaps, but it make me sick to open something good on youtbe and then hear this fuckin baby sound in background. I think I hate babies now. Plese stop making this lame shit.
F.A.A.P. ARE YOU SERIOUS?
Talk to NASA, or Glavcosmos, if you prefer. Probably the most important thing is the determination to get there- don't be put off easily. Study hard in the relevant specialist area you would like to aim for. Eat sensibly, exercise well, these two should be in balance, do not eat more than you can burn off with exercise and vice versa. Make sure your exercise plan is sensible, nothing mad that will overstrain muscles and cause injury, speak to a competent gym instructor. ((no pain=no gain)=no brain). This factor is less important nowadays, Basically they are looking for someone competent who can operate the equipment or conduct the experiments without wasting the vast amount of money they have spent on getting you up there.
Good Luck hope you make it
Financial security and certainty promotes wealth, this comfort leads to good health and Love prospers and grows in green and happy ground. Mankind requires to live housing, vocation, and nutrition. Securing these basic necessities leads to man living life in Love as his Creator intended than struggling for peace of mind and stability, fearful, ignorant, and hateful of his plight. This negativity sows the seed of discontent breeding division and rebellion, sometimes against himself, family and socaity.
I am totally against health and fitness. It ruins my Ben and Jerry's.
I don't know what to say exactly.
I know that people who exercise reward themselves with a cookie, day at the spa, a meal at their favorite restaurant…..but…sex? That's very interesting.
Are you the sexual tool in this approach to help your friend? I don't think this breaks any ethical rules, but it definitely could become complicated.
I've never even thought about that, but it seems that his would work. Women want to be viewed as sexy from males, even more so by women who are trying to loose weight and have self esteem issues.
If she says yes and obviously you're fine with it…then go ahead!
