Why Is Physical Fitness So Important?

Physical fitness is not a popular subject outside the gym.

Why is physical fitness so important?  To a couch potato, it’s a dirty word.

To someone dying of heart failure, it is unthinkable.

If you are not an athlete, why should you care about physical fitness?

Heard the expression, Move It OR Lose It?

You can take that one to the bank.

Why is physical fitness so important?

Because if you are inactive you will die prematurely of Sedentary Death Syndrome.

Look, if the mention of exercise makes your heart sink, then just get up and walk out the door on a regular basis.

Check out the flowers, clouds, and birds.  Depending on where you live, maybe the architecture is interesting or the people colorful.

Don’t call it exercise.

Make it a ritual to unplug from thinking and just move.

If you can’t move your body down the road, then move it in your yard, or on your patio, down the hallway or dance in your chair!

Just move.

If you will move, everyday consistently, until your heart rate increases and your tension is released, you will understand why physical fitness it so important.

You will FEEL it.

The experience is much like a warm blanket on a cold rainy day.

You get so stiff and your circulation so dull with built up sludge when you let yourself go.  Easing yourself into forward motion is a process that requires gentle patience.

No pain no gain is a myth.

You are coaxing yourself forward and that is all that’s required.

In fact, respect your limits and you will recover and rebuild from the effort much quicker so that your gains will be greater tomorrow.

Breathe and relax WHILE you MOVE!

Allow yourself to be the judge of how far you should go and how fast.

Speed and distance are really not important.

You may be tempted to bring along your ipod or mp3, but I encourage you to try and spend your active time stilling your thoughts and leaving the “space” for silence.

You won’t be gone long.  You can resume your flurry of activity when you finish increasing your heart rate, releasing your tension, and causing the space for relaxation.

Look, if you can just start there, maybe everyone else you love and care about can too.

The buddy system works great, or even an accountability partner to check in with.  Support helps!  Community is worth your time, and group activity is just plain FUN!

There is no rush here though!  Start where you are and talk to a friend about it.  Can you do that?

Part 1 is about changing your mind about physical fitness.

Maybe it really is just as simple as walking out the door.

Stay tuned for step 2!

Don’t worry, it’s just as simple as walking out the door!

Why Is Physical Fitness So Important?

Because it feels good, and you’re worth it!

Well I do.  It is a hard habit to break.

If I don’t take care of myself, I disconnect from friends and family that I treasure, because I don’t have the energy to nurture those important relationships.

I disconnect from the world and attempt to nurture myself by hiding.  (I tell myself it’s resting and reorganizing.)

Some folks recharge by spending time with friends.

How do you recharge?

If you are a care giver, odds are you don’t devote ANY time to recharging.

You just trudge through your life, dragging yourself from one task to the next.

The problem is, IF not taking care of yourself is a habit, then the symptoms of feeling run down and all around lousy start to feel normal.

Everything is relative right?

When you are at the end of your rope, anxiety, fear and restlessness keep you from slowing down enough to refuel.

Ignoring self care results in symptoms of disease!

Do you FEEL:

• tired
• foggy (hard to focus)
• heavy
• irritable
• addicted to caffeine
• fearful and anxious
• moody
• restless despite your fatigue

Seriously …. take a hard look at it.

Do you feel cranky by the end of the day?

Do you have a tough time sleeping?

It’s not just a normal part of the aging process, your personality, or anything you have to live with!

You CAN Feel Better

You Owe It To Yourself to Find Out How!

Any chronic health issues start with the basics.

Feeling better is about getting back to the basics.

It’s really just that simple.

========================================

Urgent Critical Advice

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

If you have water collecting around your ankles to the point that you can’t see your ankle bone, you are also suffering from incredible exhaustion, confusion, and depression.

Water retention is a huge hazard to your health because it interferes with the absorption of vital nutrients.

When it advances to the point that your ankle bone is no longer visable, you have a serious health concern.

When fluid begins to collect in your lungs, it will rob you of life giving oxygen.

You are running out of time!

Seek information and counsel on your water retention issues and get the care you need right away!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

==========================================

Start Where You Are!

There are many simple things that you can do every day to FEEL better!

Step 1

Witness your feelings!

Journal your feelings.  Physical and emotional feelings are the sign posts to living better and feeling better.

If you are numb and in denial, you are stuck.

Ask yourself…

How am I feeling in my body, mind and soul?

Step 2

Release!

What you resist persists, allow whatever you see.

Accept your feelings.

Step 3

Notice.

Are there patterns in your life that repeat themselves in all the various aspects of work and personal relationships?

Is your focus on you or someone else?

You can only fix you.  Make sure you stay out of other people’s feelings.  You can support them, but you have no business fixing anybody but you.

What might your feelings be trying to tell you?

Don’t over analyze.

Maybe your feelings stem from being tired and depleted.

Step 4

Respond.

Choose to respond to your feelings instead of react to the external forces that you feel throughout your day.

Nutrition can really play a part here, as can rest and relaxation.

If you are stretched beyond your coping limits, you do not have access to a controlled response.

Take a breath and make some space for stillness.

You will find your inner guidance and peace.

Your response will be much better when you come from your heart.

Step 5

Evaluate

You can’t build on your progress until you acknowledge it.

Record your progress if possible, so that you can literally measure your growth.

Step 6

Love Yourself

All love starts with self love.

If you can’t love yourself, you can’t give or receive love from anyone else.

Step 7

Nurture Yourself

The “Urgent Critical Advice” above concerning water retention is nothing to take lightly.  Water retention can stem from poor nutrition and lack of sleep among many other things.

When you get still, you will know what you need.

Be open to healing whether it comes from a medical doctor, or an unfamiliar “alternative” healer.

Nutritionists can save your life, and much healing is accomplished during a single massage.

Pure water, whole foods and sunshine are a good start to meeting your needs so that you can settle down and rest.

Your relationships are only as healthy as you are!

Chronic anxiety, fear and restlessness are symptoms of disease, and are remedied by meeting your needs!

When the student is ready ….. the teacher appears.

I am a very caring teacher.

Are you ready?

Learning what to do is only half the battle.

You have to care about yourself enough to make good choices for yourself.

Take care of yourself, so you can do the good work you came here to do.

The world needs purposeful people.

Nurture yourself so that your purpose nurtures the world.

Many blessings,

Carrie

Heart Math = Enough Love To Go Around!

When you think about someone having a heart attack, does it involve drama, grabbing the chest and falling to the floor?

How does a heart attack effect the body?

Though chest pressure is a common symptom of heart attack, you may also experience other less obvious symptoms.

More women are dying of heart disease than men!  Women especially may experience symptoms that are vague and not as obvious.

Women shoulder so much of the burden in modern society that they often push through the pain, dismissing it as normal everyday pain.

If you have a heart attack, your life may depend on getting help fast!

It is important that doctors and patients pay much closer attention to save lives!  Problem is, women don’t get the respect they deserve in and ER the way that men do.

If more women die of heart disease than men, why are women still not being carefully evaluated when they come in with vague symptoms of pain?

Good question!  Your life may depend on you complaining loud enough to get the care you desperately need!

Symptoms That Should NEVER Be Ignored:

• Pressure, tightness and squeezing pain across the chest
• Pain radiating down the arm, shoulders, jaw, neck, and back, particularly on the left side
• Shortness of breath
• Dizziness, sweating, weakness, overwhelming fatigue
• Feeling of impending doom
• Headache, blurry vision, lightheadedness, feeling faint
• Gastrointestinal symptoms such as indigestion, nausea and vomiting
• Coughing and palpitations

Hind site is 20/20 but it won’t help you after the fact.

Take care of yourself now to reduce your risk of heart disease!

What are the chances that YOU will develop heart disease?

• Do you smoke?
• Is your lifestyle sedentary?
• Do you have high blood pressure?
• Is your HDL cholesterol low, or your LDL cholesterol high?
• Do you have diabetes or blood sugar issues?
• Are you overweight?
• Is your stress level high?

Do something about your Risk Factors and Live!

• If you smoke…. stop!
• Exercise 20 minutes a day.
• Eat a healthy diet low in saturated fat and high if fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes.
• Maintain a healthy weight and waist.
• Address high blood pressure.
• Manage cholesterol.
• Control high blood sugar.
• Drink alcohol only in moderation.
• Practice effective stress reduction techniques.
• Seek balance in your personal and professional life.
• Dr. Oz says it’s a good idea to take an aspirin daily if you are high risk for heart disease.

One more really good idea I’d like to recommend is that you take a CPR class.

The more people who know CPR the better the chances are that heart attack victims will get the help they need before it is too late.

Please tell the women who are important to you that they need to be aware of ALL the symptoms of heart attack.

How does a heart attack effect the body?

Ladies, listen to your body and live!

Take care of your body and live WELL!

Many blessings,

Carrie

How about with your health?

Would you risk the health of your child?

If you choose to protect yourself and your family from the influenza virus by taking the vaccine, you are doing just that!

You NEED to understand swine flu vaccine dangers.

Please don’t buy into the hype!

The flu is not normally deadly!

Is it something you should be frightened of?

Take a look at the history of vaccination.

You will see that this risk Dr. Holtorf is talking about is VERY real.

If you choose to vaccinate for the flu , you are gambling with your health, and possibly with your life!

Take a look at this 60 Minutes documentary from 1976.

Do we need to see MORE people die before we WAKE UP?!

Take extra care to nurture yourself and your family:

• optimize your vitamin D level
• avoid sugar and processed foods
• get enough rest
• effectively address stress
• exercise
• take a good source of omega 3 fats
• wash your hand
• eat garlic regularly
• avoid hospitals and vaccines

Building health requires you to meet ALL your needs.

You are what you eat.

You are also the thoughts you think, the words you say and the actions you take.

If you let the government and the drug companies scare the hell out of you, it will adversely effect your health.

Let them scare you enough to ignore swine flu vaccine dangers and it may cost you your life.

Watch Vaccine Nation on Google Videos.  It will horrify you!

Maybe you need to be horrified to understand that you are being brain washed to prevent profit loss from vaccination sales.

I truly care about you and the people you love!

Please educate yourself.  You don’t have to become a statistic!

Carrie

Do you know people who choose to bury their head in the sand about climate change?

Global Warming Facts are hard to dismiss, but denial works for some people.

You are what you eat, drink, think and do!

Mother Earth depends on us to keep her healthy.  If we dump on her and take her resources for granted, future generations will suffer the consequences.

It makes sense to use only what you need.

It feels GOOD to use only what you need!

Fill your life with purpose and you will find the inspiration to get up everyday filled with determination and gratitude.

One person can make a big difference in SO many ways!

Choosing less meat and more organic foods in your diet can make a huge impact on global warming!

“Hey wait, won’t choosing less meat and more organic foods in your diet make a huge impact on your health, too?

Seems like we have discovered a pattern here.

Is what’s good for the planet good for you. too?

• Use non-toxic cleaning products.
• Plant a tree!  (Enjoy the outdoors with your family!)
• Shop locally for food.  Farmers Markets are great, fresh foods take less energy to produce than packaged foods. (Build community while you’re there! Say hello to your neighbors)
• Insulate your home better, and reap the rewards with a cozy place to rest and recuperate.
• Turn off the television and go for a walk!  (You’ll love it!)
• Every time you do something that has a positive impact on your home, your community, and our planet you can feel good about it.

Contribution and Connection are definitely 2 powerful Heart Failure Solutions!

Educate Yourself About Global Warming Facts and Take Action!

Bloggers around the world are taking action today as part of Blog Action Day to bring awareness to global warming!

One person can make a huge difference!

Your symptoms of depression are a gold mine!

Psychiatric drug pushers are thrilled to help you find relief!

You are bound to be so distressed about your symptoms, or those of a loved one, that you are NOT likely to argue with them when they quickly give you a prescription to solve the problem.

Cha-ching! Big bucks are flowing into the pockets of rich and powerful people, so they don’t care that they are peddling a prescription for violence.

If your doctor isn’t concerned, why should you be?

Heck, you know you aren’t a violent person, how could any pill make you do something you KNOW you would never do?

Your doctor would never give you a drug that could cause you to harm yourself or others, right?

The Citizen’s Commission for Human Rights disagrees!

They make it there job to inform you of what they believe the truth to be.

I agree with every word! Take 2 minutes to listen to what they have to say and then take your time deciding what YOU believe.

I hope this video compels you to seek out YOUR truth!

Don’t take your doctor’s word for it!

Please, I would hate to see you hurt for the sake of profit!

Your doctor wants to drug your symptoms of depression?

Ask him/her for medical evidence of your illness.

You won’t be given any because there is no scientific proof that drugging symptoms of depression is helpful or effective.

However, there is proof that psychiatric drugs are incredibly dangerous!

Look, if you feel like you are a danger to yourself, or that you are suffering with symptoms of mental illness, you need to know that there is NO simple answer, at least not in pill form.

Psychiatric drugs are not a long term answer to ANYTHING!

If you choose to drug your symptoms of depression, anxiety and fear, then make sure your family and friends are aware of the dangers, and that they monitor you closely to watch for signs of trouble.

When you STOP taking psychiatric drugs is when you are most at risk!  Suicidal and homicidal feelings are very common during withdrawal.

When you are on psychiatric drugs, or are being weaned off of them, you will not be able to recognize that you are a danger to yourself; but those who care about you are sure to notice something is wrong if they know ahead of time to watch for signs that you need help.

These families learned the hard way, and they will have to cope with the consequences for the rest of their lives.

Do the people making these testimonials seem to be delusional or perhaps lying?  I do not understand why the FDA decided to ignore the pleas of these suffering families so very long ago.

What’s even more disturbing is the hostility and rage apparent in the comments of You Tube videos on this subject.

Does the public want to be sold down the river?  Why do we want to discredit those who are speaking out?

The people who are upset on You Tube accuse CCHR of being a cult of Scientology.  This is really confusing because CCHR is not making any money with their public service.  In fact they are promoting treatment for mental health issues that is FAR less profitable than psychiatric drugs are.

Why are people so quick to accuse CCHR of having ulterior motives, but they are blind to the facts?

These drugs are dangerous mind control.

People are arguing FOR mind control?

CCHR is not a hate campaign.  They are fighting for your right to make your own educated decisions about your health.

I want you to have the facts!  Give yourself the chance to build real health BEFORE you are convinced by a health care provider that taking a pill is the answer to your problems.

You may find out just how dangerous these drugs are when it is TOO LATE!

If chemical imbalance is the real cause of your trouble, then ask them to prove it.

You should be concerned about the Big Business of psychiatric drugs because you are not likely to get the truth about all your options from your doctor.

Special interest committees are deciding what is best for you instead of scientists who base their evaluation on fact, not profit!

If your doctor’s plan to drug you is not very short term, with a plan in place to wean you off the drug, then your doctor has been biased by the drug companies who do not want to cure you!

Drug companies are in the business of treating symptoms!

They do not want to cure you of anything!

The people at Food Matters have hard evidence that nutrition will actually provide you with real answers!

You are what you eat, and the Standard American Diet is creating suffering on every level.

Could your depression and mental illness stem from poor nutrition?

You owe it to yourself to find out!

Do you want to stop feeling, or do you want to feel hopeful and happy?

Should you try to lower cholesterol naturally, or make life simple and take the pill your doctor prescribes and forget it?

That little pill sure seems a whole lot easier than making big changes in diet and exercise, doesn’t it?

Life is so busy!  There just don’t seem to be enough hours in the day.  Do you have time to spend on changing your life?

Doesn’t taking a pill sound easier?

Do you know that lowering your cholesterol will NOT reduce your chance of dying of a heart attack?

Seriously!  If you are concerned about dying because your cholesterol level is too high, you need to know that just getting that number down, is no guarantee that you are safe.

Taking a pill to lower your cholesterol will NOT improve your health!

Cholesterol drugs come with some VERY undesirable side effects!

Side effects of Statin drugs include:

• liver toxicity
• gastrointestinal symptoms
• rashes
• blurred vision
• muscle inflammation and weakness
• rhabdomyolysis

Rhabdomyolysis is a condition involving muscle breakdown, and can be FATAL!

One statin drug, Baycol, was voluntarily recalled in August 2001 after being linked to 31 deaths.

Every one of the drugs in this class works in a similar manner and has similar side effects.

Be aware that LOW cholesterol levels have been linked to:

• depression
• anxiety
• mood swings
• suicide
• poor impulse control
• hostile behavior

CNN has an article on low cholesterol that reports a strong link between lower-than-average cholesterol and impulsive, aggressive behavior. The report notes that people taking cholesterol lowering drugs seemed to be dying at an unusually high rate from causes unrelated to cardiovascular disease. Many seemed to be “smashing their cars into bridges and doing all sorts of impulsive and violent things.”

If you lower cholesterol naturally you WILL improve your health, because everything you can do to accomplish that goal is good for you!

How Do You Lower Cholesterol Naturally?

• Eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables everyday.
• Sip water all day long.
• Get 30 minutes of sunlight everyday.  (Have your vitamin D level checked, and supplement if necessary.)
• Spend time in quiet stillness on a regular basis.  Release tension while you listen for messages from your intuition.
• Build your breath! Breathe better and live a longer more productive life.
• Be active!  Americans are dying early from EVERY cause of death due to Sedentary Death Syndrome.
• Laughter is the best medicine, and it comes with DESIRABLE side effects, and hopefully it IS contagious!

Please!

Before you consider taking a harmful drug, look into how you can lower cholesterol naturally!

Recently my girlfriend sent me an email with a wonderful article about Spiritual Conspiracy.  The author is unknown, but I can totally relate to the Spiritual Conspiracy they describe!

That Spiritual Conspiracy is just the kind of power it will take to create nurturing communities during this difficult time of economic hardship.

========================================

What is a Spiritual Conspiracy?

On the surface of the world right now there is war and violence and things seem dark.

But calmly and quietly, at the same time, something else is happening underground.  An inner revolution is taking place and certain individuals are being called to a higher light.

It is a silent revolution.  From the inside out.  From the ground up.

This is a Global operation.

A Spiritual Conspiracy.

There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet.

You won’t see us on the television.  You won’t read about us in the newspaper.  You won’t hear about us on the radio.  We don’t seek any glory.  We don’t wear any uniform.  We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles.  Most of us work anonymously.

We are quietly working behind the scenes in every country and culture of the world.  Cities big and small, mountains and valleys, in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands.

You could pass by one of us on the street and not even notice.  We go undercover.  We remain behind the scenes.  It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit.  But simply that the work gets done.

Occasionally we spot each other in the street.  We give a quiet nod and continue on our way.  During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs.  But behind the false storefront at night is where the real work takes place.

Some call us the Conscious Army.

We are slowly creating a new world with the power of our minds and hearts.  We follow, with passion and joy.  Our orders come from from the Central Spiritual Intelligence.

We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking.

Poems ~ Hugs ~ Music ~ Photography ~ Movies ~ Kind words ~ Smiles ~ Meditation and prayer ~ Dance ~ Social activism ~ Websites Blogs ~ Random acts of kindness…

We each express ourselves in our own unique ways with our own unique gifts and talents.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

That is the motto that fills our hearts.  We know it is the only way real transformation takes place.  We know that quietly and humbly we have the power of all the oceans combined.

Our work is slow and meticulous.  Like the formation of mountains.  It is not even visible at first glance.  And yet with it entire tectonic plates shall be moved in the centuries to come.

Love is the new religion of the 21st century.

You dont have to be a highly educated person Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it.  It comes from the intelligence of the heart.  Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings.

Be the change you want to see in the world!

Nobody else can do it for you!

We are now recruiting.

Perhaps you will join us.  Or already have.

All are welcome.  The door is open.

Have you ever felt chewed up and spit out by life?

You are in good company.  Everyone goes through trials.

When you consider all your “problems” to be Challenges to Rise to….

Life becomes a wonderous adventure.

Don’t let the obstacles defeat you!

Your challenges are designed to make you stronger and more compassionate, so that you will be prepared to fulfill your purpose in this lifetime!

It is important that you look at every trial as a chance to grow!

Serving Your Purpose Will Take Great Strength!

Recently I have been tried and tested.

You, too?

We are a bunch of animal lovers around my house.  A few weeks ago our puppies got sick and before I had noticed they needed help, the girl puppy died.  We saved her brothers, but we were all so sad and grieving the loss of that sweet little girl.

Not two weeks later, my daughter’s little rascal Maggie dog had escaped again and before anyone realized she was out, she got hit by a truck on the road in front of our house.  That broke everyones’ heart all over again.

In the meantime, a close friend was going through torment over someone poisoning his dog.  Evidently it wasn’t the first dog in the neighborhood to be poisoned, and the culprit hasn’t been apprehended.

My friend was being pressured by friends and family to put the poor dog down.  It was extremely hard to watch!

After all, she was paralyzed for 2 days!

He fed her and gave her water with a syringe.  No way he would “put her down until she was in pain”, he said.

I gave him my bottle of bentonite clay, and he gave her a dose every few hours, taking time to move her frozen legs and reposition her.

His sister came to his house and was so emotional, she held the dog and cried,

“Please let me take the dog and have her put to sleep!”

Still he refused.

Can you imagine how shocked I was on the forth day when the dog greeted me at the door?

No kidding!

Within a week, she was running, playing and FINE!

With all the heart ache in our house, this story of never giving up has given us solace in our grief and renewed our faith that Love and Compassion Are Blessings From God.

Sometimes it his hard to be faithful.

Do you believe in miracles?

That happy little dog is a walking-tail wagging-miracle in my book.

I feel chewed up and spit out even though I’m at peace.

All the trauma has me feeling really run down and needing rest and recuperation.

Why is it, that I am not doing much to nurture myself?  I also notice old sabotaging behaviors re-surfacing.

No wonder I have been dragging through the days.

I don’t want to hurt myself!  So why am I sabbotaging myself?

Luckily, I masterind with an absolutely great group of ladies every Monday.

We normally talk about business strategy, blogging and the like, but the past couple weeks, the conversation has been about health to a great extent.

It amazes me how masterminding with Andrew Carnegie’s format brings about momentum towards positive change.

Masterminding with this Great Group has been just the support I needed during this difficult time.

They can totally relate!  Each of them have had times in their life when they let self-care fall away.  Just having them to talk to and cheer me on has really improved my attitude and motivation to take better care of myself.

Today I am back on my blog!  I’ve missed you!

Let’s hope this painful period in my life has reawakened the passion that drove me to begin this blog in the first place!

Do you remember the way you felt that horrible September 11th eight years ago?  It was early morning in Hawaii, and I remember it well.

My heart aches as I type this.

How did you process your emotions of sorrow and anguish?  The world is still mourning that day!

My process involved a whole lotta tears.  I hope you found something equally as effective.  You can’t keep that strong emotion inside you, even though it may feel safer to stuff it.

It isn’t necessary to focus on painful anniversaries, but if they bring up old emotion, take advantage of the blessing and release all that stuff you’ve been holding onto.

Be gentle with yourself.  Time heals but it can also bring up new layers of grief.  Some aspects of the grieving process are just too painful to bear until some time has passed.

The following song really helps me.  The Eagles wrote it during their healing process from 9–11.  I love what they ask from each of us.

Besides ripping our hearts out, September 11th also caused us to reach out to each other in a way that I don’t think many had experienced in their lifetime.

Didn’t the pain of September 11th cause your hardened heart to melt?

What have you done with all that fear and sorrow?

What steps have you taken to assure that there will never be such a hole in the world ever agian?

What steps can you take today?

What can you do to heal the world so there will be no more holes?

One person CAN make a difference!
