If You are Stressed try Walking

If You are Stressed Try Walking
By Michael Blaes

I discovered something recently that absolutely blew my mind. I have been going through a very difficult time emotionally lately. I was almost on the verge of asking my Doctor for some anti-depressants. I decided against them. I really don’t like taking medication unless I absolutely need it. The next morning I woke up with very little to do. I didn’t want to stay around the house, so I decided that I would go for a walk. I was almost out the door and then this thought hit me I ought to find a pedometer app and star a walking program.

I decided to look for an app on my iphone so I could keep track of my progress. I found one and activated it.

I walked out the door and stretched out my legs. I put my headphones, turned o some music and stared walking. Before I knew I had walked 6/10 of a mile. And the funny thing was I felt
great! I had more energy than I had had for a long time. I sat down to work and found that I was more focused.

In addition, I started thinking about the amount of soda I was drinking. I hate the taste of diet soda, so as a rule I don’t drink it. I have been drinking regular soda which I know are not
good for me. I made a decision to quit those as well. I guess something just turned on in my brain and I had the desire and ability to implement my weight loss goal. I had a breakthrough.

So here are a few suggestions how you can have your own health breakthrough.

Doc it hurts when I ….

before you start any kind of physical exercise program, check it out with your doctor just to make sure it’s safe for you at your current health level.

Yes threes an App for That

Let’s face it; a goal without a specific target is just a dream. You need something to aim for and some way to measure. A pedometer is just what you need. That way you can measure the
distance and keep track of your progress.
If you have a Smartphone, download a pedometer app. There are many to choose from. Just pick one with the features you want and download it. Many of them can be downloaded for free. And
the paid ones have a minimal cost. I paid just 99 cents for mine. If you don’t have a smart phone then you can pick up a pedometer at your local sporting goods store.

Stretch out; be flexible

It is really important that you stretch out before you start walking. This will help you avoid injury and enjoy the physical activity more. Just slowly stretch out, especially your ankles,
legs and calves. Be sure to wear comfortable clothing!

Don’t forget the tunes

I find that listening to music really helps me keep my pace, and gives me something to focus on. Try to find something with a steady beat that you can enjoy. Another thing you can do is
listen to motivational audios. There are tons out there. I prefer listening to the bible myself. It gives me the opportunity to spend time with my Creator. It’s been an awesome
experience.

Walk Don’t Run

Just simply pick a distance that is a little bit of a stretch Then Go out and meet it!

Start out at a slow steady pace and slowly speed up until you are walking slightly faster than your normal walking pace. Once you reach the half-way mark, then turn around and retrace your
steps. As you near your starting point, start slowing down a bit, so by the time you finish your walk, you will be at a normal pace and your heart rate will be back to normal.
So go for it! Start a walking program of your own right away. You will be glad you did.

Looking Out for Number One

admin — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 07:00:33 +0000

You know, this really isn’t a selfish thing to look out for yourself. Sometimes, you have to be able to love yourself before you learn to love others. I know a lot of people who hate Valentine’s Day. The idea of expressing love, affection and special sentiments can be quite irritating, especially if your single or in a difficult relationship. Trust me my sympathies go out to you. But all is not lost.

I was single for many years and remember feeling these same feelings. Then one day I had a Eureka moment. Why do I need someone to tell me that I’m beautiful, strong and buy me chocolates? Now granted it is nice to have someone do this but it’s not anyone else’s responsibility to make me feel validated. Therefore, I set the precedence for how I wanted to be treated. If I wanted candy and flowers I would buy it. I would even take myself out to dinner. I nice order of Chinese food usually did the trick. And then I would take a moment to reflect on what I liked about myself. Was I being desperate or selfish? No, I just didn’t feel like I had to have someone else appreciate me, I knew and understood my value. I didn’t need a holiday to remind me of worth. I chose to live it every day.

So, if you don’t like candy or flowers, no problem. Or maybe your relationship is on the fritz, (challenging but not impossible to deal with). If possible, try saying or doing one genuinely nice thing about or for the person. If this isn’t an option then just do something that validates who you are and remind yourself to love you every day, not just one day out of the year.

It’s one thing when someone else says great things about you however, true love comes from within oneself, for self affirmation can only be validated when you yourself believe it. Valentin Rocha

Peanut Butter and Jelly

admin — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 06:03:13 +0000

Valentine’s Day can be a fun holiday, for the most part. But I can’t help feeling bad for the guys. Because this holiday holds such deep obligation, there is a lot of pressure on them to do what’s supposedly expected of them and to get it right the first time. They’re expected to read our minds, when the woman’s thought process is way too complicated for them to keep up with. Men are the other hand, are just the opposite. Throw them a bone or give them nothing at all and it seems to make them no difference. I think what might prove to be a bit more effective would be to just tell your significant other what it is that you want. Or better yet, don’t wait for a holiday for you to express what the other person means to you. This way both parties can be appreciated, needs met and no one ends up in the dog house. Much like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich things go down a lot more smoothly.

Embracing Perseverance

Somebody said that it couldn’t be done,

But he with a chuckle replied,

That “maybe it couldn’t” but he would be one

Who wouldn’t say so till he had tried.

So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin on his face.

If he worried, he hid it.

He started to sing as he tackled the thing that couldn’t be done.

And he did it

Somebody scoffed: “Oh, you’ll never do that,

At least no one ever has done it.”

But he took off his coat and took off his hat

And the first thing he knew he’d begun it.

With the lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,

If any doubt rose he forbid it;

He started to sing as he tackled the thing

That couldn’t be done, and he did it.

There are thousands to prophesy failure;

There are thousands to point out to you one by one,

The dangers that wait to assail you,

But just buckle right in with a bit of a grin,

Then take off your coat and go to it.

Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing

That cannot be done, and you’ll do it.-Unknown

It’s Not Enough

admin — Sun, 13 Jan 2013 09:00:35 +0000

When you do not feel valued and depreciated it can make it very difficult to work toward what it is that you want to achieve. Part of being emotionally healthy is not just feeling good about what you do but who you are. Sometimes this can be a very painful journey but one that is necessary for self enhancement. I found this poem and thought it was perfect to provide motivation to proceed with the the New Year’s resolutions. A kind word and a good deed can go far and is priceless.

It isn’t enough to say in our hearts

That we like a man for his ways,

It isn’t enough that we fill our minds

With paens of silent praise;

Nor is it enough that we honor a man

As our confidence upward mounts,

It’s going right up to the man himself,

And telling him so that counts!

If a man does a work that you really admire,

Don’t leave a kind word unsaid,

In fear that to do so might make him vain

And cause him to “lose his head.”

But reach out your hand and tell him,

“Well done,” and see how his gratitude swells;

It isn’t the flowers we strew over the grave,

It’s the work to the living that tells.-Anonymous

Resolve to be the best you

admin — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 04:06:18 +0000

As you enter into the New Year what resolutions have you set for yourself? Perhaps shedding those extra 15 lbs from the holidays is your prime objective or striving to be a better spouse or parent to your children. Maybe, it’s being a better employee.

For me, I resolve that every day is a good day to be and do better than the day before. This does not mean that I will be and do everything perfect. Far from it, but rather to do what’s best for me and my emotional, mental and spiritual state of being. This makes what I want to do and how I choose to do it not just realistic but doable.

While it is common place to set a resolution for yourself I think it’s more important to be realistic about what it is that you want to achieve and the necessary steps that you take to achieve them. Let’s take smoking for example: If you have been a smoker for 10 years you might be able to quit cold turkey but the more reasonable approach might be to get a prescription from a doctor to help you or channel that frustration through something else like exercise. Another thought to consider is what causes you to want to smoke? Do you enjoy the process of smoking or is a triggered by frustration or stress? Taking a look within yourself will help you target why you do what you do but if you are really ready to commit to change.

Next follow through with a plan of action. Whatever it is that you want to change did not happen overnight therefore neither will the change that needs to be made. Be patient with yourself. Take one step at a time, not a flying leap. Eventually you will find that you will and can achieve your resolution and can enjoy being the best you.

If you have made a resolution but need some additional motivation consider these resources:
