Practice lower chest breathing to make the most of your lung capacity. It provides the principle for efficient management of everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs, shopping, or gardening etc.

• While sitting in a comfortable position with your back well supported. Place your hand on your abdomen and give a little cough. The muscle you feel under your hand is your diaphragm. The next time you breathe in, push your hand out with you diaphragm and abdominal muscles. This will give you a feeling of breathing around the waist.

• Try breathing in through your nose and out gently through your mouth, making your breath out twice as long as your breath in. Counting 1 as you breathe in, and then 2 and 3 as you breathe out, will help you.

• At the same time relax your shoulders and upper chest. Continue to breathe in through the nose and gently out through the mouth or nose as you find most comfortable.

Anyone Can.

Anyone who flips on a light switch will cause the lights to turn on. Anyone who shifts an automobile into gear and presses on the accelerator pedal, will cause the car to move forward. Anyone who takes the steps necessary to build a successful business, will do so.

Achieving results is a matter of putting forth the necessary effort. Anyone can achieve any result by making the specific efforts required to reach that result.

Make the same efforts as a winner, and you will have the same results. Take the necessary sequence of steps, and you'll arrive at the destination of your choice.

It really doesn't matter who you are, or where you came from, or what disappointments you've experienced in the past.?
Achievement, no matter how small or how grand, is a simple cause-and-effect proposition. Make the right effort and you'll get the desired result.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Learning how to eat healthy, again.


Foods we eat, low carb, low fat, vegan, macrobiotic, raw, whole foods, have a direct bearing on how we feel: our energy, mood, appearance, and body image are all influenced by our dietary choices.

In order to solve weight problem, we needed to stop focusing on what people should be eating and instead focus on why they eat unhealthily in the first place. Behavioral psychologists have studied and found reasons for unhealthy eating. For instance:

• Convenience is a major factor in what people choose to eat. Having to cook is a drawback.

• Access is key. If candy is within arm's reach, it is hard to resist. If it is out of sight in a cupboard, we eat less of it. If it isn't in the house at all, we are very unlikely to actually get in the car and seek it out.

• The main causes of overeating bouts are not hunger or the deliciousness of the food, but emotional and psychological cravings.

• Larger serving sizes make us consume more food (even if we don't finish the serving).
  There is little relationship between meals; for example, eating a large lunch will not help us eat a small dinner.

• We eat or drink more from large half-filled containers than from small full ones but believe we have consumed less.
