Your New Favorite Thing

The list holds your favorite foods, music, TV shows, movies and even people in your life that you can’t get enough of. This is the stuff that you really enjoy. It’s the stuff that makes your life worth living.

Somewhere on the list is your health and appearance. You know that looking and feeling great make a good life even better.

The interesting thing about your list is that without fail you’ll always make time for it.

                     

 

Yet when it comes to exercise you automatically say, “I don’t have time.”

Time for TV, but no time for exercise… We live in an age where life is full. You don’t have extra time anymore.

You no longer have time. You make time.

• You make time for your TV show.
• You make time for your hobby.
• You make time for your friends.

It’s time to drop the charade of “I don’t have time to exercise” and call it what it really is.

An excuse.

You know how to make time for your favorite things. You know you want good health. You know you want to look great. You know you want more energy.

Exercise delivers all those benefits – and more.

I believe that exercise belongs on your list of favorite things.

Make It A Favorite: How do you turn something that you’ve dreaded into something that you enjoy?

1. Block the Negative: Your thoughts play a big part in determining your favorite things. Block out any negative thoughts you may have about exercise. Focus your energy on creating a positive attitude that will get you excited about hitting the gym, rather than dreading it.
2. Focus on the Benefits: With exercise you have so much to gain and nothing to lose. Exercise makes you stronger, sexier, happier, and gives you more energy. Pick the benefit that moves you the most and fixate on it.
3. Get Guidance: The easiest way to put exercise on your list of favorite things is to experience it at its best. Get onboard with one of my personal training programs and I’ll show you the most effective and enjoyable techniques that will get you into the best shape of your life.

Personal Wedding Vows

The wedding vows are one of the best parts of a marriage ceremony. The bride and groom have the chance to express their love and commitment to the other person out loud. Many couple’s are really starting to write their own wedding vows, and it increase every year. If you really want to write your own vows, this article will help you out. Writing your own vow doesn’t have to as extremely hard as everyone thinks it is.

First, congrats for choosing to write your vows and making them personal. Your special someone will most definitely appreciate this. Many couples get afraid about finding their own words to express their love for each other. Do not let this stop you. There is nothing more romantic than hearing a loved ones feelings about the other. Who else is better to create your vows filled with your love than you?

As long as you are comfortable doing so, there isn’t a reason why you shouldn’t write your very own wedding vows. An important thing to remember is make sure that both you and your fiancé are comfortable with it. It won’t have the same effect if one of you doesn’t want to write their own vows. You have to be willing to write your feelings down and say them in front of everyone you know. It can seem daunting, but when the moment comes all you will see is the person before you.

If you are planning on getting married inside of a church, make sure that the church allows you to say your own wedding vows. Some churches don’t allow this to happen, so check before you start.

Next, both of you need to choose whether to work on the wedding vows together or individually. There are good and bad reasons to do both, but it is all up to what works for you. Some bride’s and groom’s decide to keep it a surprise; while others like to know what their fiancé thinks. It doesn’t matter which one you choose as long as you both are happy with the decision.

Most wedding vows are broken into three main parts, which can make them a little easier to write. These parts include the declaration, description, and then the vows themselves

Most people find that the declaration is the easiest to write. The declaration is just declaring your love for the other person to your guests and that you do intend to say “I do”. This part can be as fancy or simple depending on what you want to say.

The description is and should be easy. All you are doing is describing why you love the other person. If you are having a really hard time writing this part, you should definitely question getting married. You can place a little poem or a few lyrics from a song that makes you think of the other.

The wedding vows themselves are difficult for most people. They also happen to be the most important part of the whole thing. All a vow is, is a promise of your commitment to your significant other. In the vows you will tell them your promise to be faithful and/or protect them for the rest of the days of your life. Your wedding vows bind your relationship and shows your commitment to get married.

Two Types of Fitness People

In my 8 years of guiding men and women to achieve their
health and fitness goals I’ve come to the realization
that there are two types of exercise and fitness
people:Go here and take advantage of your complimentary
fitness consultation.Go here to register for a complimentary
consultation with Fitness Optimist

1. Those who think exercise and fitness just deals with
the body.

2. Those who think exercise and fitness include the
whole person – muscles, mind and soul.

I’ve always felt that those who think exercise and
fitness are only for the muscles, joints and organs were
missing out on a huge component to success!

Although exercise and fitness serves a GREAT purpose
physically, it has much more of a mental benefit.

It’s time to start thinking about your exercise and
fitness habits and the path you’re taking.

It’s time to focus on your reality and how it’s
affecting you and those around you.

 

  

 

Exercise and fitness is about positive change, both
physical and mental.

You first starting making positive changes inside;
you’ve got to change the way you see yourself and then
the outside physical changes will soon follow.

If you find yourself wandering aimlessly through your
health and fitness “program” without mental focus,
you’re progress will be very slow even though you’re
moving your body.

But, if you see exercise and fitness as a time to focus
on your thoughts, bodily motions and envision how you
want to look and feel as you exercise – then  you will
soon realize the true power of the results you can
achieve.

So, make up your mind to exercise and fitness - set up
a powerful mental image in your mind – take a deep
breath to absorb MORE life – then get up and do
something with purpose and intent.

Those who follow my exercise and fitness system – know
they are getting a TOTAL workout in more ways than one.

The program doesn’t just get you fit; help reduce
excess weight, increase strength, stamina and
flexibility.

It also changes your mental outlook and how you view
yourself. It makes you a more positive and confident
person; someone who sees the positive in him or herself
and others; someone who stretches his or her mind
“outside the box” to create true power.

If you’re ready to harness your TRUE power and reach
your true potential, then request a complimentary
fitness consultation with me to discuss a plan of
action to accomplish your goals.

How to Plan a Low Budget Wedding

Whether it be due to the economy or just the fact that you do not want to overspend, if you are planning a wedding on a budget then you are sure to want to be able to achieve the wedding you hope for without breaking that budget.

The good news is you can do it. You can plan a low budget wedding that is beautiful and memorable, but yet not so costly. You might be wondering How? Therefore the following are a few ways to keep your wedding budget low:

1. Prioritize. Setting your expectations from the beginning and prioritizing your wishes will help you to keep your wedding budget low, yet still have the wedding you were hoping to have. If wedding portraits are top priority set aside the highest percentage of your budget for that purpose. If you do not mind less flowers or no reception then you could cut those budget areas to help give more budget for your higher priorities.

2. Shop Around. Shopping around and finding bargains is another way to save on your wedding budget. Many times you will spend more if you buy the first dress you see rather than shopping around to find the best dress for the amount of money you want to spend. Price several caterers before sticking with one. You will be surprised at the variations in price you will find if you take the time to find out costs from several places. You can do this for flowers, photographers, caterers, locations and more.

3. Lower your guest list. It is inevitable the more people you have at the wedding and / or reception the more costly the wedding will be. If you can weed down your guest list to your closest friends and family you can drop your costs significantly, saving money on both food and the location. Obviously the bigger the wedding party and guest list the bigger the location must be to accommodate, not to mention that you will have to have enough food to feed everyone at the reception.

4. Skip the full bar. Sure, it may seem nice to be able to offer drinks of their choosing to your guests it may not be the best for your budget. Limiting your guests to beer, wine, or a special selection of drinks can help you save in this area of your budget.

5. Serve cocktails and hors dhoeuvres rather than a full meal. Food costs money and therefore if your lessen the amount of food you are serving you will significantly lessen your budget as well. You will need to keep this in mind when setting the time of your wedding as it is proper and customary to serve a full meal at certain times of day, while other times are known to be times when hors dhoeuvres are just as acceptable.

6. Do it yourself. There are many areas of your wedding where creating your own do it yourself projects can save you money. Invitations for instance, there are amazing at home options that you can now print from your personal computer saving you a ton of money. Doing it yourself is a great way to save on decorations as well. You can arrange your own flowers, create your own centerpieces or even make your own favors and gifts.

These are some great ways to keep your wedding budget low and by doing so you do not have to sacrifice what is important to you. Remember the first step, prioritizing and then consider the others if you still need to cut your budget. Pick and choose the areas of your wedding that you are willing to sacrifice. Remember you will not be able to have it all, but you will be able to have what is most important to you and still keep your costs low.
