Ways to feel better part 3


Don't judge.  Too many times we look at others and have our minds made up of who they are and what they are about.  Many opportunities can be lost when we do this.  Every person, no matter what they wear, how they look or what they do has something to give us....maybe not as much as this story but even if it's just a smile....it can brighten your day.




A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston, and walked timidly without an appointment into the president's outer office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn't even deserve to be in Cambridge. She frowned.
"We want to see the president," the man said softly.
"He'll be busy all day," the secretary snapped.
"We'll wait," the lady replied.
For hours, the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. They didn't. And the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was a chore she always regretted to do. "Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they'll leave," she told him. And he sighed in exasperation and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with them, but he detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office. The president, stern-faced with dignity, strutted toward the couple.
The lady told him, "We had a son that attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. And my husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus". The president wasn't touched he was shocked.
"Madam," he said gruffly, "we can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery."
"Oh, no," the lady explained quickly, "we don't want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard.
The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress andhomespun suit, then exclaimed, "A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical plant at Harvard." For a moment the lady was silent.
The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now.
The lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it costs to start a University? Why don't we just start our own?" Her husband nodded. The president's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment.
Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they established the University that bears their name, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about!  (Thank you  RogerKnapp.com for this great story)

Ways to feel better; Part 1

How does a person feel better about themselves?

I love the saying "Don't let negative rent space in your head."

With that being said one way to feel better about yourself is to let the negative go.  When we hold negative things in more than just our psychological self suffers or health suffers also.  One thing I like to do is every morning think about something positive.  If you remind yourself before your day starts that there are positive things in your life you will begin the day better.  

When something bad happens....I know it's a cliche but take a few deep breaths.  A positive nothing is better than a negative anything so breathe.  Once you have a chance to breath, and not react, you have a chance to think about the situation.  Now you have three choices:  If you can change it, than change it.  If you can fix it, than fix it.  If you can't do either let it go...don't let it rent space in your head.  I know it's easier said than done but once you practice this it does get better. 

When you forget something, you break something, you don't do something.....let it go.  That second, that minute will never come back to you...all you do is use up future seconds, minutes hours and days worrying about what you cannot change.

Always move forward.  If you get off course than detour back to where you need to be.  It's like a diet....you may slip and have a candy bar but if you get back on track than it was a pleasant detour on your diet.  If you continue down the same road and eat more candy bars than you will get lost.  

Life has a way of getting in the way of our plans.  We get an extra $200.00 bonus out of the blue and our transmission goes out in the car.  We get a day off and plan on enjoying it by reading and doing some light laundry and the kitchen floods and you spend the day cleaning the mess up and fixing the leak.  It happens.  Accept what life throws at you and move on.  

Negative is part of a battery, not an attitude.  Love life, embrace it's imperfections and move forward because what you left behind will only haunt you if you let it.

Little things to keep you healthy: Don't drink your Calories

Don't let Liquid Calories do this to you
Ya, ya, ya....we hear this all the time.  To lose weight or not to gain weight don't drink your Calories. 

Let's focus on the obvious first:  Weight gain.  Being overweight will harm your health in many aspects:  Bones, joints, heart...just to name a few. 

The consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages has been linked to rising rates of obesity in the United States. The standard explanation is that energy-containing liquids are less satiating than are solid foods. However, purely physiologic mechanisms do not fully account for the proposed links between liquid sugar energy and body weight change.  (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)
We just don't realize how many calories come from what you drink.....unless you pay attention.  Sugars in liquid form are absorbed rapidly into our bodies.  When this happens:  Newton said it best:  For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, your body will react in many ways including: weight gain, diabetes, heart disease and some research says; even cancer. 

"A nine-year study followed older adults who drank diet soda daily. The results showed a 48 percent higher risk of stroke, heart attack and death, even after adjusting for other risk factors. Arguably, this study hasn't been published in a peer-review journal and may have other confounding factors. However, as a nutritionist who has observed patterns of America's intake of artificial sweeteners, I've seen their long-term effects firsthand. Research on these sugar substitutes connects diet soda consumption to metabolic syndrome, chronic kidney disease, and Type 2 Diabetes."  (Carrie Wiatt, M.S., Diabetic Connect)
We all know that weight gain can lead to heart disease and high sugar intake can lead to Diabetes.  The question is this:  Is your health worth replacing your high sugar liquid calories with water?  I am lucky I never got "addicted" to soda but I have friends who are.  Take it one day at a time:  Let's face it.....water has been, will always be the best choice to drink.  To begin with replace one soda, energy drink, etc. with water for one week and I bet you won't even notice losing that sugary drink.  Keep going and each week replace another.  By the time you have replaced all sugary drinks with water I bet you won't even miss them. 

Don't get your energy from liquid calories.  Vitamin B12 shots work so much better and are so much healthier for you!!

Want: I feel gooooood? James Brown said it best

  • You know you can feel better. 
  • You know there is a way to do that. 
  • You know you want to feel better. 

Do you need to understand why you feel the way you do?
Do you need some help to feel better?
719-924-5977

We all watch the infomercials.  We all search the net.  We all listen to our well meaning friends.
What would you say if I told you that there really isn't ONE thing that works for EVERYONE?  What would you say if I told you that the infomercial you watched on television that guaranteed that you will feel better or your money back....knows if it doesn't work that very few will actually use that guarantee and get their money back....it's just one more thing you tried that didn't work, right?

Now, what you you say if I told you that you could have PROFESSIONALS, that use the LATEST TECHNOLOGY, that will work with you one on one to achieve your goal of feeling better?  Not through video, cd's, a book that would take years to read.....but face to face!

Premier Back Rehabilation Center, PC is just that place.  Don't let the work "Back" in the name stop you because your back isn't the issue!

If you feel tired.
If you feel "just not right."
If you feel dizzy at times.
If you have trouble sleeping.
If you have trouble waking up.

If your problems are listed...or if you have other issues that aren't...I strongly encourage you to call Premier Back Rehabilitation Center, PC and give them the opportunity to put you here (click the word here)

First Line Therapy......Changing your life, bad habits and being a better YOU!

Ever wanted to make some changes in your life and just never did or never followed through?  Eat healthier, exercise more, reduce stress...the list goes on and on.  Most people fail because they are in it alone.  Most people don't have the "energy" to make any changes.  And....I hate to say this but our family and friends will tend to "discourage" you because they don't have the energy to change.

Does this sound familiar:  First day....Ahh this is easy, second day, ahhh this is easy...by the time the third day on change becomes a "chore." 

Failure of knowing is one of the biggest causes when a person fails at change.  We KNOW we have to eat better and exercise to lose weight, we HEAR and SEE all the different ways to do this but we don't really KNOW.  How is a person supposed to make an informed decision if you don't know. 

I have learned in life you don't have to know...you have to learn.  You can sit down at the computer and do all the research yourself OR you can go to someone you trust who already KNOWS.  Be careful of this.....your friend who ate only carrots and lost weight does not KNOW what YOU need to lose weight. 
  • You need to find professionals that are invested in YOU! 
  • You need to find professionals that use the most current scientific research.
  • You need to find professionals that their concepts are supported by RECENT controlled clinical studies.
I love the saying "why re-invent the wheel" but I'm going to use this in a different concept here...why buy a wheel from someone who builds boxes?  If you TRULY want to change you find the professionals who want the same things for you.  You want the PROFESSIONAL guidance of YOUR health care provider.

Do you often feel tired or have a lack of energy?
Do you have difficulty concentrating?
Are you easily irritated or feel moody?
Do you have trouble sleeping?
Do you wake up feeling unrefreshed?
Do you feel bloated or gain weight easily?
Do you have digestive or intestinal discomfort?
Do you have occasional mild headaches?
Do you feel like you're not healthy as other people your age?

If you answered "yes" to any of the questions above, than a SIMPLE program could help you feel better and have more energy in JUST 10 DAYS!!!

Just answering YES to any of these questions is the FIRST step in changing.  NOW pick up the phone and call Premier Back Rehabilitation Center, P.C. at 719-544-1161 and meet with the PROFESSIONALS that want your sucess as much as you do.  Free Consultations so you meet with REAL PROFESSIONALS face to face (no internet search here) and together you decide what the best approach for you is (no order this cd today and change your life).  At Premier Back Rehabilitation Center, P. C. you are a PERSON not a number and your success is their priority!!
