Comfort Zone?

How many of us 'like' to be UNCOMFORTABLE? I would say, not alot. Most of us would rather sit back, relax & watch the world go by...this is so much easier. Instead of taking up for what we believe in & sometimes even 'doing what is right, because it's the right thing to do'! Let me take you through a couple of scenerio's and maybe you'll start thinking a bit differently.

My son is over in Afganistan right now, in >120 degree weather, out in the middle of no-where, sand, wind, little contact with us over in the US & an occasional spit bath with a baby wipe. Now, when I was scrubbing my bathroom floor, whining the other day...I caught myself pretty quick, reminding myself of him over there, WITHOUT even a bathroom to USE! We SO take for granted what we have. I have nice cool or warm running water for a shower (that I can take anytime I want to), a toilet (in the air-conditioning) in which I can (well you know), a sink, toothpaste, a toothbrush, deoderant, a brush, a robe, nice clean towels, a bathtub to take a good soak, etc....ALL while my son is over defending my rights to have the freedoms I have here. And YES, he didn't HAVE to sign up, it WAS his choice...but he did it because he wanted to do it. He was moving out of his comfort zone & for a good darn reason. He didn't choose to take the 'easy way out' or maybe the more comfortable road. He's standing for something he takes pride in and is willing to risk everything.

What about those entrepreneurs? I have to say, I am one of 'those' people. Why would someone like me, who has a Master's Degree in Nursing, an un-endless source of jobs available, & the ability to make a 'comfortable' living...QUIT working for someone else to totally move out of my element into the world of the unknown? I'll tell you why...because comfortable for ME was a DANGEROUS place.

I found myself in a codependent, unhealthy relationship. In jobs where I was the low man on the totem pole, working my rear off for someone else's dreams. Living paycheck to paycheck, in ridiculous debt. Knowing I needed to do something NOW, or how was I going to take care of myself, much less my older family members in the future? Running on the treadmill of life...sad about the past & worried about the future. And MOST importantly...not fulfilling the PURPOSE that God has for my life.

It was time to live in the PRESENT & get out of my comfort zone SO I could enjoy my life & share with as many people as possible 'something' that might touch their lives & give them hope again....no matter what they have been through.

It's hard to believe someone would purposefully PUT themselves out there...and make themselves get out of their comfort zone. BUT it is those people who make huge impacts...one person at a time.

So more on this later...practice getting out of YOUR comfort zone...it's pretty cool out here...:)

Pill Fatigued?

"Pill Fatigue"? What is it?  As a hospice nurse, I am used to seeing patients with bags full of medicine/vitamin bottles upon admission OR their bathroom counters lined with 10 or 20 bottles of medications, supplements, etc. Sometimes medications are given to treat 'symptoms' of the medications they are already taking. Now I'm not saying don't take prescription medications...I'm saying do your due diligence & see if some of those things can be replaced with healthier alternatives.

One thing our company decided from the beginning, was to provide the highest quality of ingredients, ALL IN ONE packet, for the best price. Here's how they did it. Listed ingredients are below each picture. If you go to the local department store, it has been shown over & over that what you 'get' over the counter, may not have the best absorption, or be the quality your body needs to utilize the product you just paid good money for. Jay Archer (co-founder) of Dynamaxx wanted to put as many things into "ONE" product as possible. YES, this costs the company more in the beginning...but WHO DOES THAT? Many people are takeing EACH individual ingredient already...of a 'cheap' product already!

The grand total of pills bought (same ingredients as in Lights On) by the cheapest route is $237.00 for a months supply!!!  One months supply of Lights On is $39.00 (wholesale) + tax/shipping!

Individual ingredients for Lights Off was a grand total of $157.00 per month...again from the cheapest store cost of each ingredient.  A month supply of Lights Off is $39.00 +tax/shipping!

*So imagine if you buy your products from a company that offers good quality products...there are some...but you will be paying way more than $157.00 per month let me assure you.

Lights Off

• Fibersol-2: helps maintain regularity, blood glucose levels, and healthy levels of triglycerides and serum cholesterol – aids in the growth of beneficial bacteria in the colon
• L-arginine: increases blood flow -- used in the treatments of high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction and migraines

• L-Theanine: creates a relaxing effect without drowsiness
• Lavender: fights insomnia, fatigue, anxiety and depression
• Milk Thistle: used in the treatment of liver and gall bladder problems
• Wuling Mushroom Extract: treats depression and anxiety
• Chamomile: anti-inflammatory, treats anxiety, insomnia and aids digestion
• Aloe Vera: used in the treatment of ulcers, diabetes, and supports the immune system
• 5-HTP : used as an anti-depressant and indicated for improvement in migraines
• Melatonin: helps regulate sleep

• Stevia: Natural sweetener

What is brilliant about this, is when the body gets the nutrition it SO  badly needs, people are feeling better & having the benefits of focus, clarity, pain relief, stablized blood sugars, adequate sleep, etc...by using this revolutionary 24 hour system.  NO MORE tons of pills (or at least their over the counter vitamins, supplements & some prescription meds).

*Each person should consult with their Dr. & SHOW them the ingredients of our products. We WANT every physician to help us spread the word, that patient's can benefit from such a simple concept.

Personally I see it as a no-brainer. All Dynamaxx is doing, is helping people redirect their spending on supplements/vitamins from what they are already taking anyhow, to a much better quality & more convenient product. Check out the website & request a  FREE samples now!

Got dogs?

THIS big lug, would be Jesse. She would be the 'instigator' or dog in question for the what ended up to be the end of my couch as I knew it. As you can see, the 'little' dogs took care of the rest...and were having a hay-day when I got home! Now I KNOW for some of you, this is unacceptable...BUT...

the question is...what's more important?

An old couch that was so attractive my dogs couldn't resist tearing it to shreds...

OR the dogs who:

-meet me at the door EVERY day with excitement

-love me no matter what

-remind me daily to remember to not sweat the small stuff

-protect me from intruders (even if it IS just a garage door accidentally popping open)

-thank me for loving them with pure, undivided attention

-keep me responsible in caring for them

-just listen

-beg to come to bed with me :)

-sleep when their tired

-play when their together

 & teach me to NEVER GIVE UP

(they are very tenacious)

I love my dogs...even the guilty ones :)

Bouncing?

Ok, so off and running pretty early, tootling off in the Dynamaxx EC car (see below).

Decided I wanted checks IN the mailbox, no bills. Got my wish but a $2.54 check was not exactly what I was anticipating (but that's what I get for not being specific and measurable). Ha!

Then I picked up a check from a friend whom I helped out this month...which was MORE than I expected...except for the ticket I got going through KEENE, TX (the ticket capital or the world...I should KNOW this by now)  is the exact amount of the extra cash.  UGH! (Personally, I think he was just curious & wanted to see what the cool car was all about!)  BUT...that means I'm still $2.54 ahead. :)~

So, the moral of this story is...keep bouncing. :)

Need a laugh?

     Sometimes don't we feel this way? Constantly trying to manage our weight, intake, exercise, etc? As an Integrative Health coach, I have learned to approach each person individually. I myself have been through many 'diets' trying to find 'the one' that will ultimately get me where I have wanted to go. Unfortuneatly, in truth, there is no quick fix or fad that will get you there. Each person is different & will have to the realization that discipline & work will come into play. I struggled for years eating any way that I wanted & trying to beat the calories with exercise. Nope. Didn't work. I have tried at least 20 different 'diets' that promised to eliminate that excess baggage & make me bikini ready by summer....Nope. That didn't work either. The only thing that had a LASTING effect and helped me slim down & keep it off, was consistent small changes over time (in a positive healthy direction), that I did & still do on a daily basis.

      Now I have to say, T-I-M-E is a four letter word in my book. I have learned to appreciate it & understand it is for my own good. Most things don't come to us overnight...I mean, didn't it take me 40 years to pack on the extra 50 lbs I was carrying around? Once you discover that if you make small changes (that you can put on your calendar & do consistently... THIS will move you in the way you want to go. Just like going to McDonalds day in and day out.. for that small burger, fries, apple pie & DP added up over the years! 

     It is never too late to take your health seriously. This is one of the best ways you can love yourself. Taking care of YOU first. Most people wait until an unfortuneate health incident BEFORE even looking at dietary, exercise, sleep or stress patterns. Also, many people feel it is an all or nothing situation. We are not patient people. Instant gratification is high on our list.           What I do as a health coach is offer simple, sound ideas for incorporating healthy living into others daily lives. Sometimes all we need is a little accountability to give us the right start. I personally have coaches for my own accountabilty in my weight loss journey, business, finances etc. We ALL need this at times and feel empowered to take our own health into our hands.

Got Sleep?

According to a survey by the Better Sleep Council, 65% of Americans are losing sleep due to stress. With a good night's rest increasingly losing out to the stresses and distractions of modern life, scheduling a good night's sleep could be one of the smartest health priorities you set. Beyond leaving people bleary-eyed, clutching a coffee cup, and dozing off at afternoon meetings, a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that too little or erratic sleep may be taking a toll on Americans' health.

While many aspects of sleep remain a mystery, the picture that appears to be emerging is that not sleeping enough, not getting fully into proper depth of sleep, waking throughout the night, or being awake in the wee hours runs counter to the body's internal clock, throwing a host of basic bodily functions out of sync. According to researchers, a lack of sleep disrupts every physiologic function in the body. Researchers are only now starting to understand how a lack of restful sleep is affecting health, and it appears to be significant.

THE BAND-AID

It is estimated that the annual sales of prescriptive and over-the-counter sleep aids is in excess of $7 billion per year. Yes, that’s billion with a B. Ironically, the exploding energy drink market has now reached $6 billion in sales per year as people try to make it through the day by trying to put a band-aid on stress and exhaustion rather than addressing the causative issue.
