Getting Healthy: A Spiritual Pursuit

Before I started being more health conscious I never realized how it would impact my spiritual life and how it would change the way that I relate to the world. It is amazing how eating better, knowing where your food comes from, and nourishing your body will help connect you to the rest of the world. It connects you with nature and the terrible things that we do to our environment, it connects us to the animals we use and abuse for our personal consumption, and it connects us to the people around us that we affect by our choices. We can remain ignorant, sick, and miserable but why live that way when we have the option to live healthy, strong, and full lives all while taking care of everyone and everything around us. It is a beautiful way to live and if you are honest about it, it will change how you view everything.

Bring Food Education Back

I am so glad to see that there is a growing trend in our country to be educated about food and what we eat. With the rise of the internet and Netflix we have ample avenues to promote and view education about the food that we have. I am also excited to see the number of school programs that are being started to show our children where food comes from and why it is better than some of the mass produced fruits and veggies out there. This trend needs to grow into a revolution, so that we can really combat the obesity and diet related diseases that plague our country. So share your nutrition stories, help others find what you have found, and give them real information that can save their life. Check out this infographic for all the stats.

15 Reasons to Keep Your Company Small

After you get your business started and the ball is rolling as the momentum builds there is always the question grow or keep the company small. There are advantages and disadvantages to both.

3 Delightful Ways to Ditch Dairy

When I was a kid I suffered from a dairy allergy for several years I had to limit the amount of cheese and milk I would drink. I broke out in hives and would scratch my legs so much they would bleed. Oddly enough, none of this really dissuaded me from drinking milk and eating dairy products for years. The doctor's told me that I may grow out of it and that dairy was important for my development. I did grow older and the hives stopped, but I continued to have stomach problems all my life. I never realized that it was the dairy that continued to cause my stomach issues. When I became vegan almost 5 years ago, my stomach issues and eczema disappeared completely. I finally realized that it was the dairy that caused all of that. I then read many study where I found that you can get calcium from many other sources rather than dairy milk and that dairy milk promotes osteoporosis rather than preventing it. Not to mention that dairy milk is made for calves, so they grow big and strong as cows, not for humans. So here are some great ways to check out your alternatives rather than drinking dairy milk.

No Solopreneur Ever Went Wrong...

Getting out on your own and being in business for yourself is tough. It is often not a glamorous job and it is often not the million dollar ideas that we think it can be. However, it is always the right thing to do. The following article focuses on things that solopreneurs can do that are never wrong. I take it a step further and believe that it is never wrong to make the decision to become a solopreneur. Let me qualify that by saying even if the business is a bad idea or it makes life difficult for a little while, the experience of trying and stepping out into a larger world is integral for any person that is looking to enjoy the freedom that your own business can bring. With that in mind it is also important to find out that you don't have what it takes to be a solopreneur, so you don't spend the rest of your life wondering what could have been. So step out and enjoy what the universe brings, you are a big part of it and you would be amazed how things change when you follow your dreams. Check it out.

What Do 300 Calorie Meals Look Like?

We often wonder, I switched to eating healthier, why am I still gaining weight? The problem is that we forgot to control the amount of calories we are taking in. If we continue to eat more calories than we are expending we will always gain weight. So we really need to see what a meal looks like that is at a healthy calorie range. It is too easy to pile it on the plate and think that I'll just work it off tomorrow. Believe me over Memorial Day weekend I put on 3 lbs just going to cookouts and parties and not watching my calories. So now I am back at it and frustrated that I allowed myself to give in. So check out what a 300 calorie plate looks like and see how close you are that ideal, then adjust.

Ready to Declare Your Independence? A Seven-Point Checklist

This is one of the scariest transitions of life to go through...the moment when you get out from the security of a steady paycheck and start depending on yourself in your own business. You then struggle with the fact that it is now on your shoulders, if the business fails so do you. It is a great responsibility and often we carry families and children into that. It can also be a very rewarding and liberating experience, however you have to plan appropriately for this. It can be terrifying if you have no choice and are forced to step out in faith (loss of traditional job, lay-offs, etc). This is actually where I am right now, the positive thing is that I have been fortunate to have been building my business for the last 5 years. This puts me in a great position (although still not optimal) because I have so much of the leg work out of the way. The only part that I am missing is the financial part of the plan and we are constantly working to improve that. So if you are thinking about making the leap check out this checklist and try and get as many of your ducks in a row as possible to assure your best chance of success. I wish you all the best as we travel this road together.

Dr. Dean Ornish: Your genes are not your fate (2008)

Here is a great video from one of the leading doctors in America today. One of the biggest misconceptions that we have believed is that all our diseases are handed down from our family through our genes.

This video is Dr. Ornish talking about just that. This is one of the most groundbreaking studies in medicine today. This means that we don't have to stay on medications for the rest of our life and that we are in control of our health. You don't have to end up with cancer or diabetes.

3 Workouts to Burn Fat Fast

I was reading this week that it is not how long you workout or even the intensity in which you work out. It is all about how much those workouts are charging up your metabolism. We only burn 500-600 calories an hour in a good workout (if you are doing mine up to 1000) and we can ingest that many calories in 5 mins. What really matters is the caloric rate we are burning throughout the day. So if we are eating 2000 calories and we are burning 3500 calories a day we will lose weight. If we do the inverse we will gain weight it is as simple as that. So I am not saying not to workout, but to remember that you don't need to work yourself into injury to lose weight. Get your 30 mins to an hour in at a good intensity and get that engine moving, so you are burning all day long. So check out this article and get moving.

Sex and Yoga - Tantric Yoga Making Love Work

These two kinda go together like peas and carrots. In Yoga our goal is to open up and reconnect with the energy force around us and in Sex we are trying to connect with the partner we look to share ourselves with. So ultimately placing a very spiritual connection to our sex lives can be important. Obviously, this denotes trust and a great relationship. However it can also bring our relationship to the next level. Tantric Yoga or Sex is more about the connection to your partners energy and enjoying the pleasure that comes from that mingling of energy than the physical release of sex. It may end in that but it is that energetic connection that holds us all together and continues to grow the love that we have for one another. Check out this article for more great information on this subject.

Why aren’t there more young entrepreneurs?

There are plenty of young people that have great ideas, but it is the pervious generation that has failed in empowering our children to aspire for more. We do have more classes about entrepreneurship and it seems to be a hot button in the last few years. The problem is that we have little practical application. Here in the States people have been comfortable living off their jobs and have little time or energy left to create. When we live in a culture that has to work two or three jobs just to make ends meet it leave little time to produce new business. So by default our children are not equipped to see the entrepreneurial spirit at work and lose that drive to create a better life. There will always be people who are inclined to that regardless and the challenging circumstances will allow them to flourish but that it few and far between. What we must do is educate and lift those people up. We must encourage them to grow their ideas and help them make it a reality. Check out this article for more info on the subject.

The biggest complaint that I get from people when I tell them they need to drink more water, is that it has no taste. There are a few problems here. One, is an issue of curbing your desire and an addiction to sugar. We often drink sugary substances (soda) because we are so hooked on the rush that we get from that sugar that it overrides everything else. The same issue happens with caffeine (coffee or energy drinks) because often they are loaded with sugar. The other is bad tasting, unfiltered water. We do have a water supply that can be full of minerals and chemicals and that can be almost as bad as ingesting all that sugar. There are many solutions to that but I have found that the best one is to drink an Alkaline water. This is water that is electrically charged to change the ph balance, so not only is it filtered it also absorbs better and helps you fight disease. The best brand, that I have found, is Kangen Water...check them out at www.FreshKangen.com. If you need a little more than that and need to add some flavor to your water, go the natural route and check out this article for more info.

4 Simple Rules to Lose Weight

Many of us struggle with losing weight, but really there is no mystery to losing weight. It all comes down to curbing our unhealthy need for food and making healthier choices.

In this day and age it is super easy to watch your caloric intake. My Fitness Pal for Iphone and Android has everything you need to log all your meals and your workouts.

You inherently eat better when you are watching everything that you put in your body. The trick is that you have to be honest with yourself.

2 Simple Tips for Networking With Influencers

In networking there are really two types of people that you will be talking to...people who can get things done, and people that can't.

The Health Benefits of Whisky

I am really just posing this ambiguous study for all of my friends that still drink out there. I believe this is a pretty good example of how you can take almost anything and gear that report towards making something look healthy. Not that there is anything wrong with a few drinks from time to time, but the risks and side effects far out weigh the benefits and this is something that is sorely lacking in this report. Of course I could write a report listing the case for heroin being a great weigh loss catalyst, if I didn't list any of the side effects. This is the problem with many of the drugs and supplements that we take. Just be careful with what you put into your body, know what it is and the long term effects on your health. Also remember that anything in excess will eventually become harmful to you.
