Like a butterfly, I have always flitted from one thing to another. So what makes me think that I will stick to my commitment to shredding my excess pounds and to my health and well-being?
Because this is my life. This is the rest of my life. This transformation is something I have been contemplating and planning for more years than I want to admit.
It has been my vision of the future since before I was over weight and out of shape. This is a true story. Years ago I envisioned that I would let myself go, and get out of shape and then around this age, make an incredible transformation, not only to a thinner healthier body but one that looks 20 or 30 years younger.
For the past few years I have been attempting to begin that transformation, body mind and soul, but all the pieces were not in place yet. In the mean while I researched things that cause aging, and things that might help to reverse aging.
I had a friend who was in his 40’s who had a massive heart attack. He survived it but it gave him such a scare that he changed his whole lifestyle. I saw him six months later and he looked 20 or more years younger. I was fascinated. I asked him what he was doing. He was eating clean and exercising. He had lost weight yes, but he also looked younger and felt younger.
This is when I realized that so-called aging can be reversed and you can extend your life through proper diet and exercise. But that is just part of it.
As Tom Venuto and Adam Waters teaches in this shredder course, you have to get your head on right.
Its not just about loosing fat and eating better, but about everything in your life. It is about your thinking and your lifestyle.
In my search, I discovered five things that contribute most to aging. I am going to reveal these five things here for you shredders. They are, in order of their importance:
1. The thoughts that you think.
2. The air that your breathe.
3. The water that you drink.
4. The food that you eat.
5. Exercise.
Given these five things, over the years I have taken steps to follow this guideline.
Think good thoughts and think about what you want, not about what you don’t want. Think Love, compassion, kindness, joy, gratitude.
Live deliberately and be conscious of the consequences of your choices.
Air you breathe: It goes without saying, don’t smoke. Do deep breathing exercises and cardio for moving your breath.
If you read the book “Unlimited Power” by Anthony Robbins one of the things he pushes most is deep breathing. The breath moves nutrition to your cells, and your body will feel less hungry.
You can loose weight just by deep breathing.
The water that you drink: Drink enough water. Pure water is best, but if it has no minerals at all you can sprinkle a bit of sea salt in it to get electrolytes.
Eat real food. Unprocessed food, healthy food. We all know what that is thanks to people like Tom Venuto who tell people the truth.
Exercise: If you don’t use it, well you will loose it. Cardio exercises burn fat because it gets you to breathe.
This is the basic outline for reverse aging and staying young. Do you still plague your body with stinking negative thinking and your lungs with smoke? Do you drink enough water? Do you eat good foods? Do you get enough exercise? If you are work on living consciously and deliberately, keeping your goal in mind, you will make the right choices every moment of your day.
