One exercise that is a fantastic for defining the glutes,
thigh, and leg muscles is wall sits. The person is
required to stand with the shoulders, rear, and heels
touching the wall, slide down the wall until it seems as
if they are sitting on an invisible chair. Typically,
this exercise had two purposes, to increase muscle tone
and to decrease misbehavior in gym class. Students were
required to maintain this position for long periods at a
time. After a few minutes, the backs of the thighs and
leg muscles experience searing flashes of pain as the
muscles silently scream in agony and protest. It is
painful but effective over time in achieving both
objectives. |

Commitment
Anyone can get excited and enthusiastic, given a sufficient amount of
stimulation or inducement. Excitement will get you going, but it is not enough
to keep you going. Excitement, by its very nature,
wears off.
Beyond the initial excitement, success requires commitment. Commitment keeps you
going long after the novelty has worn off. Excitement begins the process of
achievement. Commitment sees
it through to completion.
Excitement is a reaction. Commitment is an intentional decision. Success occurs
when you're able to transform the energy of your excitement into a solid and
lasting commitment. That's not easy.
It takes effort. It takes dedication and focus. It demands a level of motivation
that goes beyond the thrill of the moment. To be committed, you must find a
personally meaningful, driving reason to support your commitment, and then
continually remind yourself of that reason.
Excitement is so satisfying and energizing because of the promise it makes.
Commitment is what actually delivers on that promise.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our
deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It
is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve
the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We
are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to
make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's
not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let
our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our
own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Top 10 tips to manage pressure at work
Work stress is the reaction that many people have when
they are under high pressure at work for a given period.
Many of us are motivated by the challenges and
difficulties arising from the requirements of the work.
Fulfilling these requirements leads satisfaction.
However, when the pressure at work reaches high levels
and lasts for a long time, people find the existence of
a threat to the welfare or interests and then

1. Start your day day with a healthy breakfast:
It's better for your health (and your weight) to eat
breakfast than to skip it. And it's definitely better to
eat a healthy breakfast, high in fibers and nutrients,
than one full of refined grains, sugar, salt, and/or
saturated fat. Balancing carbohydrates (preferably from
whole grains, fruit and vegetables) with some protein
and a little healthier fat will do a better job of
staving off hunger until lunch and fueling your entire
morning's activities. According to the American Dietetic
Association (ADA), most adults consume less than 15
grams (g) of fiber daily, and yet the recommended intake
for optimum health is 20 to 35 g.
2. Learn to manage your boss: Never tell your
boss "I can't do this. I don't have time." Instead,
always say something like: "Of all the things you want
me to do, what would be most useful right now?" Or,
"What is your highest priority?" Or, say something like:
"According to the 80-20 rule, 80% of the value I can add
for you will be achieved with 20% of the things I do, so
which 20% is most likely, in your view, to add the most
value for you right now?" Another useful line is: "I
always want to do the best possible job for you in the
least possible time. Which things are most important to
you right now?" Don't forget to appreciate the pressure
your boss is under. Show a little empathy by saying
something like: "I imagine you are under so much
pressure, I don't know how you think straight. Would it
help to take 10 minutes to do some prioritizing?"
