Ten Keys to a Healthy Lifestyle

These key will enable you to become motivated and focused, and condition yourself to live a healthy and fit lifestyle. Notice that I did NOT say 'ways to diet'! These are ways to realizing a healthy lifestyle.

The first key to keep in mind is making sure you have a daily plan.  If you have your daily plan written down, with the details of all you want to get done today, including the snacks you will carry with you and your meals chosen for the day, you will be much more inclined to avoid the unhealthy foods and actions that may throw you off track.  If you can plan the activities, the errands, and all the tasks you will be doing each day from the time you get up 'til the time you go to bed, you will be keeping yourself busy on accomplishing what's on your daily planner, rather than spending time worrying about your weight or other things that may not be productive. This can be one of the most powerful steps to living a healthy lifestyle, because you'll be constantly looking at what you want to get done, rather than what you didn't do in the past.

Juice Plus+ is made by juicing 17 different fruits and vegetables into a vitamin supplement all in a capsule form. A cup of other vitamins and a tablespoon of apples, all for health. When you start with a juice from a fruit or vegetable, and then you add others, you get a healthy mix of nutrients with the water and sugars removed. But when you dry the mix, you are left with the nutrients and that is what goes into a Juice Plus+ Capsule. Like our Weight loss plan that is a doctor approved diet plan, this is a healthy choice. Oprah's Dr. Mehmet Oz knows that a diet is temporary but a healthy lifestyle is for good. Even Juice plus+ is made from the juice from an orange, a lot of orange juice, that gives it a lot of nutrition when a cup of results and lemon is added. Add fountain water without some breville and juice fountain, although fruits and other juice is the convenient way to get nutrients but many convenient even if you have apple juice. When I can't have those healthy and fresh products, I use juice plus vitamin, and juice nsa plus is a way to get healthy with juice plus vitamin, so if you are a distributor juice plus, then the gummies juice plus is juice plus supplement. The juice plus scam that we see does not hold much credence, but it is a problem. You may have read a juice plus review that is similar to acai juice plus. If you are interested in any juice plus product and you want to learn if there are any benefits, then look at the juice plus research. Breville fountain juice plus is not one of the things that is available, but a complete juice plus line can be found at www.jpsupplement.com. If you have a complaint juice plus, then any distributor juice nsa plus can help you. Juice noni plus is not something you can find when you try to buy juice plus. Every single ingredient juice plus has fiber juice plus and can be found in the capsules. Don't get ebay juice plus because you can't be sure of the quality. You may use to find inc juice nsa plus for you diet, but don't expect to use a breville fountain. If you look for the capsules or the pills - don't be confused it's not a weight loss plan, Dr Oz Diet, be sure to consider thins, the vineyard, and even the gummy. There is dog juice plus and gummy juice plus, too. Use juice plus for any pregnancy as a perfect alternative to most vitamins on the market. There is a juice plus study, actually many that validate the quality and effectiveness of the nutrition. Juice Plus+ is made by juicing 17 different fruits and vegetables, then with a cup of vitamins and a tablespoon of apples, you get a healthy start. When you start with a juice, and then you add another, you get a healthy combination. Juice plus is made with an orange, a lot of orange juice, that gives it a lot of nutrition when a cup of results and lemon is added. Also, there are many weight loss plans out there, but the one that most people agree is the best is a weight loss diet plan, Dr Oz diet approved diet plan. If you have used a plan endorsed by doctors such as Dr Oz, then you know it's a weight loss plan that is healthy, and if followed will lead to a permanent healthy and fit lifestyle! When I have fresh fruits and vegetables in my diet plan, I know I'm going to be healthy, but sometimes we just don't get enough. And one sure way to add more nutrition to your diet is with Juice Plus. The sugar and water are removed through a drying process that leaves you with all the healthy nutrients.

The second key is to have written goals.  These may be the dreams you have, the things you want to do in life that you may have forgotten about.   Many people have resigned to just living the same monotonous daily routine. Start by writing down your goals, no matter how outrageous they may seem, write it down.  You need goals and dreams that could take you a lifetime to accomplish.  Make sure they are meaningful so that when you read them and ponder their reality, you feel the motivation to get there.  When you can get to that point, you have reached significant goals and dreams for yourself!

Third.  Be sure your daily plan includes at least one action that moves you closer to your long-term goals.  If your daily actions only include those things you are now doing, then you keep getting what you have gotten.  It's time to broaden your horizons by moving outside of your current comfort zone and doing something new, something different.  By the end of the week, you should feel that you have moved a little closer to your dreams.  It may not seem like much in the beginning, but if you just focus on doing a little each day, in only 1 year, you will feel more and more compelled to seeing your dreams become a reality.  So be sure you are writing down and doing at least one task each day toward that reality.

Four.  Don't look back at where you've been, only where you want to go! This goes right in line with having a daily plan.  There's no time to look back at any tragedies, or mishaps, or unhappy times. only time to create new memories, new experiences, and happy times.  With your plan you are creating those things, and not leaving yourself time to ponder the "what ifs" of the past.  Ask yourself "How can I" instead...."How can I improve my  job".OR.." How can I be a better spouse?"..OR.."How can I reach my goals?"..OR how about.  "How can I improve world peace?"...OR even  "How can I help others be happy too!?"... Look to what contributions you can make for yourself and for others, today and tomorrow!  In this way, you will keep looking ahead.  Remember, no matter how tarnished your past, your future is spotless!

Five.  Leave excuses behind.  There are many reasons we have for not having what we want in life.  It's not hard to find someone who can talk about the "tough times" and how rough things are, or how difficult the boss is.  But guess what?  Everyone has hurdles to overcome, and these hurdles can be the excuses that hold you back, or the obstacle that you have to jump over that will make you stronger and more prepared for the next one.  This goes along with leaving the past behind you, where it will always stay.  Excuses are nothing more than seeing the difficulty ahead, instead of seeing beyond it to where you would rather be.  The hurdle has to be there in order for you to gain a sense of fulfillment for having overcome it to reach your goals!

The sixth key to a healthy lifestyle is to take full responsibility.  Really when it comes down to it, ultimately YOU are the only one who can make things happen for you.  That means YOU are the one who has to make the plan, YOU are the one who needs to perform the exercises each day, and YOU are the one who will overcome the hurdles to reach your goals.  Now many others and I can be cheerleaders and coaches to try to steer you in the right direction and cheer you on, but it is your game.  And if your not playing the game, you may just be in the stands watching others as they try to win at their goals.  If you find yourself always looking to others that have what you want, you may be living in the stands. Start taking responsibility by taking action toward achieving those things you want.

Seven. Be aware of people or things that can divert your focus from your goals.  Does this mean ignore others and the help they may need?  Certainly not.  But realize that very often someone may approach you or want you to do something that is not really in the best interest of your health and your goals.  Sometimes, when we say "no," we are really just saying yes to "sticking to" what's good and healthy.  You will not only be empowering yourself to make the right decision, but also letting others know that your focus on living a healthy lifestyle is in their  best interest too, and maybe it will rub off on them.  Say "no" to the so-called "water cooler" conversations at work that don't provide any productive outcome, just harm to those participating..OR "no" to the box of donuts that seem to show up at work in the morning, for what seems to be harmless socializing and eating with co-workers.  Ask yourself if it's taking your attention away from building a healthy lifestyle or making a contribution to such lifestyle.  Be like the race horses with blinders on that can only see ahead… and choose to only see what's healthy -  healthy for you, for your family, for the company you may work for.  It may seem like you are alienating yourself, and you are from what's not healthy.  It's not easy taking the high road, but you'll be much happier in the long run.

Number eight.  Decide where you would like to be 20 years from now.  Are you doing what you are doing now, only looking older?  Or can you see from the goals and dreams you have written, that you are carving out a new person, who has had many new experiences.  If you can visualize what your life will be in 20 years - where you will live, the places you will have visited, the people you have come to know, the knowledge that you have gained, the positive changes that you have made for yourself and others -  you will really begin to see the potential that the years ahead can bring.  Now I'm not suggesting that everything will be exactly as you may envision.  But it will give you a sense of what you truly are capable of, and what you can look forward to.  Both things that will motivate you to keep moving in the right direction!

Nine. Surround yourself with other positive people.  If you are in a support group for weight loss, that's good, so long as you're not around the people that only want to talk about how hard it is.  You want positive energy on your side, and the more you have and the more positive energy you give, the stronger you will be.  You see, being around someone who shares the same desire to live healthy does not increase the amount of good twofold, it increases it tenfold.  You will feed off of each other's similar goals and desires, and share things that have helped each of you.  My husband use to compete in triathlons-- where they swim a few hundred yards, then ride their bike several miles, then run a few miles.  Some people actually find this pleasurable! I asked him how he managed to complete such an event.  His response was "If it wasn't for all those other people pushing to get to the finish line, I may not have."  How true that is for us in our lives.  If we are around people that are pushing to reach their long-term goals, then we are more apt to reaching ours.  Find those people and stick with them!

Ten.  Learn to love exercise and all physical activities.  There are so many forms of exercise and physical activity and so many ways to enjoy them, that you should not have any reasons not to do so.  How many different places are there that you can enjoy taking a walk? - The park, a museum, downtown, window-shopping in a mall, in your neighborhood, and many more. How about the different types of exercise besides walking - riding a bike, playing tennis or racquetball, lifting weights, jogging, kick boxing, aerobics, yoga, jazzercising, dancing, gardening, cutting the grass, painting. If you have trouble exercising, try doing a stationary bike if you can.  It's the easiest piece of equipment to use that you can use.  The BEST is an elliptical machine, I use a PreCor machine and it is amazing! Try different activities and exercises and find what you can really enjoy. Remember, these are the things that you want to be doing for the rest of your life.

And the BONUS key to a healthy and fit lifestyle --  Don't ever stop believing that you are capable of more than what and who you are now!  Your potential is limitless.  With this attitude you will be able to constantly improve upon your health in some way. If your mind can perceive it, and you can truly believe it in your heart, then you can achieve whatever you set out to achieve.   Don't place limitations on yourself.  You'll never know until you try!  So get busy.
