Relationship and ...

I place health as our number one area to master ahead of all others. After health I would place our relationships - with ourselves and with others. After all, not many people value creating change and experiencing joy as a totally solo process.

Our most valued emotion is connection, ahead of success and achievement. We want to belong. We want to be loved. There is no greater source of joy and fulfillment, and of pain, than human relationships. Because of the intensity of our feelings from relationships they are also are greatest source of fear- fear that we aren’t enough, that we won’t be loved or that we don’t belong.

This section is about taking your experience of friendships and love to the next level… to Level 1, where you experience love not matter what is happening in your life.

The Easy Model for Extraordinary Health

Exercise five times a week

Push yourself for seventy-five percent of the exercise

Breathe deeply often, even when not exercising

If you can’t get all your exercise in one hit, divide it into smaller manageable amount of time

Not doing exercise once is not  a sign of failure, simply refocus on your goal

Do muscle resistance work like half push-ups, yoga, tricep dips and crunches to build bone mass

Drink more water than you think you need, all the time

Eat fresh and raw fruits and vegetables everyday
If you’re used to eating a lot of junk food, like fried food and canned food, sacrifice one piece per meal

Fill yourself up on healthy choices and make the junk choices what you nibble on - never use the junk food to fill you up

Avoid fried foods because they starve your blood of oxygen, which slows the blood cells down, which clogs up your system

Avoid milk for the first thirty days, and then see if you still want it. Expect your baby to expel toxins as it adjusts to the lack of mcus in its system

Avoid bread for the first thirty days to give your body a rest. Fill up instead on brown rice and dark vegetables like broccoli and spinach

Snack on raw nuts, not salted or roasted, as they will ferment in your body

Drink more if you drink alcohol than you could possibly think you need

Cut back on how much alcohol you drink

Empty your cupboards of the junk and replace them with healthy choices

If you slip up and eat junk, just refocus on what you want to achieve and on what you have already achieved

When you plateau, it’s normal. Persist, and never let yourself go hungry

Graze on healthy choices instead of chocolate

Reward yourself for health eating with a walk in the sun or dancing to a favorite song, rather than some favorite junk food choice

Cut back on caffeine drinks, including coffee and soda drinks

Eat comfortable amounts of food, rather than overeating; you’ll feel more energy

Use quality oils like virgin olive, flax seed and primrose

Never eat when you are stressed or depressed, Go for a walk instead

Cut back on meat if you eat it for the first thirty day and then see if you want to go back to it. Next time you eat red meat smell the back of your hand. You can smell the meat through your pores

Focus on vegetables and fruits for breakfast rather than cereals

Avoid butter and margarine

Aim to eat twenty different types of food per day
