TIP OF THE DAY: Calories, calories, calories! We’ve all feared them at some point, but at some point on your health & fitness journey, you must learn to embrace them. A food calorie is related to food energy, which is the amount of energy a food item provides to your body via a process known as cellular respiration. In short, cellular respiration is a metabolic process within cells in which food/nutrients provide biochemical energy that cells convert to ATP (the body’s energy stores). If energy hasn’t been stressed enough in those previous sentences, then re-read 😉 Bottom line, calories are your bodies source of energy, which is crucial for daily functioning and workouts. The quality of calories should be the emphasis in your diet, but not limiting calories all together.
you ever noticed that two people can confront the same circumstances
with very different reactions? This is a matter of attitude
and nothing else. Freedom is being able to say, “Rich or poor, alone or
with a mate, physically healthy or not, employed or laid off, I believe
that peace of mind is possible.”
We have all experienced what it is like to be having a perfectly
fine day and have a situation or crisis arise that sends us into a
tailspin. It may be something small like a traffic jam making us late,
or something more severe like the loss of a job.
Our response can seem automatic.
Though at first it may be difficult to accept, freedom depends on
recognizing that you’re not upset because of what occurred, you are
upset because of how you perceive the situation. Key to Attitudinal
Healing is recognizing that you are not a victim of
the world.
Another way of saying this is: There is absolutely nothing in the
world that has the power to ruin your day. If you are upset, it is
because you have directed your mind to be so. Initially these truths can
be hard to accept because you have become so accustomed
to giving your power away. Every time you blame another person for your
unhappiness you are giving your power away. Stop blaming and start
healing.
How you perceive a situation will determine your experience and your reaction.
An important part of healing (i.e., letting go of fear) is developing
compassion. Instead of going out in the world and finding plenty of
reasons to be upset, go out and discover reasons to extend love. There
are thousands of reasons waiting for you right now.
A helpful thought to remember is that a miracle is nothing more than
allowing an old grievance to become a current compassion.
If you ever run short on reasons to be compassionate, remember there is
always one good reason: It makes you feel better than anything else you
could do. When you are upset remind yourself the cause of your discomfort is your own attitude. This is freedom.
