Most people have no idea how good their body is designed to feel.

Obviously Nicole Bryant-Polk, today’s featured model, has an excellent idea of how good her body is designed to feel – and look!

#290| A Bountiful Crop

Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop.

~Ovid

Who doesn’t want the ability to do more, give more . . . be more?

We focus so much on productivity (I’m guilty) and output.

I admit I’m all about setting and reaching goals.

Despite my “Type A” personality, I’m finally learning the value of rest.

After I rest, I’m refreshed and energized.

My “tank” is refueled and I’m in a better position to do more.

Here’s to rest – make sure you get some this weekend!

#252| Making Progress

It’s Wednesday – as good a time as any to chat about wellness.

Hopefully, like me, you’re making progress with your health and fitness goals.

If you aren’t, don’t despair.

Every day is a new day, which means you have another day to begin moving in the desired direction.

Remember: Strive for progress – not perfection.

 

Join in the Fray: Where do you stand on your 2015 health and fitness goals? Are you making progress?

#189| Cheer Up!

By Leave a Comment

I won’t bore you with a lot of scientific chatter about the correlation between the effect good health bears on our state of mind.

As stated so aptly by Joseph Addison in today’s quote, “Health and cheerfulness naturally beget each other.”

If you’ve been feeling down, take active steps to improve your health.

Get outside and take a walk; jump on a bicycle and ride around the neighborhood.

Increase your intake of fruits and veggies – instead of reaching for some fried chicken, have a nice, fresh salad instead.

As you take incremental steps to improve your health, you’ll see a corresponding uptake in your state of mind.

Get healthy – and cheer up!
