Statistics show that the most common time for people to have heart attacks is Monday morning – that’s how stressed we are about the work that we do, is it really worth that much?

Life is actually really simple, we have just become far too clever and crammed out lives full of systems and gadgets designed to make life easier and the result is that our energy is sapped to the point where life is a struggle. It’s time we got back to what the basics are all about, to the point where we work to live, not live to work.

I get to do a lot of work in Asia and I find it interesting that over there they pay the practitioner to keep them well. If they get sick they don’t pay which is the opposite to our medical model not just in Australia but in most of the western world. They live from a place of prevention and don’t wait to get ill. The biggest change I have made in my life in the last twenty years is that I now life from a place of prevention and enjoy a state of good health and wellbeing.

You know your body is just like your car. You put your car in for a service regularly but you don’t necessarily treat your body with the same respect and yet you expect it to perform better than your car. The same as your car needs regular checkups so do you so that you don’t go getting to that breakdown stage.

Picture this, your alarm screams at you at 5 or 6am. You think to yourself you’ve got a full on day ahead and need to get to work NOW.

Learn about healthy quick and easy breakfasts to get you going for the day.

Energy suckers vs energy givers.

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Jefferies) — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 21:01:40 PST

The biggest source of energy suckers in your life is yourself. You are the one cutting corners by not respecting your own needs, eating well, exercising or making time for fun in your life. Anything that takes the fun out of your life is an ‘energy sucker’ and anything that puts the fun back into your life is an ‘energy giver’ and feeds you energy. Identify your ‘suckers’ and replace them with ‘givers’ that feed you with energy and enthusiasm.

Laughter is the best medicine.

In his book ‘Anatomy of an Illness’, Norman Cousins tells the story of how he ‘laughed his way out of a crippling disease’ that doctors believed to be irreversible. Cousins was an author, diplomat and editor of the literary magazine ‘The Saturday Review’. In 1964, he contracted ankylosing spondylitis – the connective tissue in his spine was disintegrating. He was told that there was no record of anyone ever beating the disease and that adrenal stress could have been the cause behind it. Learn how he beat it.

Feel the fear and do it anyway

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Jefferies) — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 17:38:23 PST

What holds you back and stops you from doing what you’ve always dreamt of? What’s stopping you from creating the life of your dreams or becoming everything you wanted to become? Are you afraid of failure or success? For a lot of people it’s both, which doesn’t leave many options open. It was Helen Keller who said ‘Life is a daring adventure, or nothing at all’. Fear of the unknown is a normal part of life but one that we should learn to leverage to our advantage rather than allowing it to stand in our way.
