~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

'When you exercise, it increases endorphins, dopamine, adrenaline and endocannabinoid — these are all brain chemicals associated with feeling happy, feeling confident, feeling capable, feeling less anxiety and stress and even less physical pain.'
~Dr. Kelly McGonical

Being someone who has suffered from #clinicaldepression all of my life along with the diagnosis of #ptsd the last 18 years I can assure you that the studies & research over the last few years have hit the nail on the head in regards to the benefits of physical fitness in combating these ailments,

This coupled with the meta-analysis that weight training and physical fitness are imperative as we age cements my mindset and dedication to make the correct lifestyle choices and share this information with you,

As I've stated for years 'your first wealth is your health, invest wisely'

To do otherwise is just being ignorant.

We've all been taught that quitting is a sign of weakness and that quitters are losers. But here it is in a nutshell: Successful and satisfied people know both how to persist and how to quit. Winners do quit but not in ways you think, and when they do, it's with authority and intelligence.
~Peg Streep & Alan Bernstein

Of all the stratagems, to know when to quit is the best.

“People with a strong physical constitution can tolerate extremes of hot and cold; people of strong mental health can handle anger, grief, joy and the other emotions.”
~Epictetus

Pride as one of the deadly sins.
Pride is considered one of the seven deadly sins, also known as the capital vices or cardinal sins.

It is often referred to as the “mother of all vices” because it is seen as the root cause of many other sinful behaviors.

Definition of Pride:
Pride is an excessive belief in one’s own abilities, accomplishments, or qualities, which interferes with the individual’s recognition of the grace of God.
It is a sense of superiority over others, often accompanied by a lack of humility and a tendency to seek praise and admiration from others.

Characteristics of Pride
Excessive self-importance.
Lack of humility.
Desire for praise and admiration.
Disregard for others’ opinions and feelings.
Tendency to blame others for one’s own failures.
Refusal to acknowledge one’s own limitations and mistakes.

Consequences of Pride:
Pride can lead to a sense of isolation and loneliness, as individuals become disconnected from others and focus solely on their own accomplishments.
It can also lead to a lack of empathy and compassion for others, as individuals become more concerned with their own interests and desires.
Pride can also lead to a sense of arrogance and entitlement, which can lead to poor decision-making and a lack of accountability.
The story of Satan’s fall from heaven is often seen as an example of pride.

How to Overcome Pride:
Recognize the dangers of pride and its consequences.
Practice humility and self-reflection.
Seek feedback and criticism from others.
Focus on serving others rather than seeking praise and admiration.
Acknowledge one’s own limitations and mistakes.

“If you don’t challenge yourself, you will never realize what you can become.”
~Anonymous

The human body serves as the perfect metaphor for understanding the importance of a challenge, for the simple reason that the body is built to adapt and respond to demands that are placed upon it. The stronger the demand, the stronger the response.

Physical muscles continue to grow and strengthen through the Principle of Progressive Resistance.

This principle is based on the theory that muscles must be challenged in order to upgrade and grow, and that they will progressively work to overcome a resistance force when required to do so. The opposite is also true, as physical muscles will downgrade and weaken with the absence of a challenge.

The Principle of Progressive Resistance operates the same way in every area of our lives, and that is why we all NEED to be challenged.

And not just physically challenged. We need intellectual, leadership, spiritual, relational, sales, and any type of performance challenge that stretches us, forces us to overcome adversity, tests our character and commitment, and inspires us to say adios to our comfort zone.

Remember that your first wealth is your health, invest wisely or don't, the choice is yours.

What are macronutrients?
Macronutrients are nutrients that your body needs in large amounts to function optimally.

The three main macronutrients are protein, carbohydrates and fat. They’re considered essential nutrients, meaning your body either cannot make them or cannot make enough of them.

For example, proteins provide essential amino acids, while fats contain essential fatty acids. Your body utilizes these components for specific functions.

Macronutrients also contain energy in the form of calories. Carbs are the main energy source, but your body can use other macronutrients for energy if needed.

The calorie content of each macronutrient is:

Carbs: 4 calories per gram
Protein: 4 calories per gram
Fat: 9 calories per gram

Whether you are a health freak, a little plump, or just diet conscious; you must have heard the famous saying – ‘Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper’.

Here’s what it’s all about. Following a proper eating time schedule along with the type of foods you eat during the day can determine your physical health and mental wellbeing.

Studies suggest that our body requires energy to sustain throughout the day. And most importantly the timing along with what we eat is essential to maintain the flow of vitality. As highlighted, eating the right meal at the right time will do wonders for your health and help you lead a well-balanced life.

Health Benefits Of Eating On Time
-Our body works on a daily circadian rhythm which includes – metabolism of fats, cholesterol, and glucose flow.

-Observing the internal body clock to eat helps in proper digestion of the food hence improves our metabolism and ultimately curbs weight gain.

-Eating heavy dinner leads to gaining more calories and thus causing obesity.

-After fasting for 8 to 12 hours when we wake up, our body requires a high glucose level that helps to maintain our energy level throughout the day. Thus improving our productivity and reducing stress.

-The right meal at the right time is a great formula to prevent cardiac diseases as well as prevent type 2 Diabetes.

-Following our circadian rhythm breakfast provides all the nourishment we require to keep the rhythm intact.

-Late breakfast or skipping the most essential meal of the day leads to low blood sugar levels and ultimately erratic blood pressure thus leading to a plethora of diseases.

-It would take a longer time to react and decreased productivity due to crash diets.

“Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts.
Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again.”
~Thich Nhat Hanh

“Improper breathing is a common cause of ill health.
If I had to limit my advice on healthier living to just one tip, it would be simply to learn how to breathe correctly.
There is no single more powerful – or more simple – daily practice to further your health and wellbeing than breathwork.
Practicing a regular, mindful breathing exercise can be calming and energizing and can even help with stress-related health problems ranging from panic attacks to digestive disorders.”
~Dr. Andrew Weil,
Integrative medicine physician & Author

“My words come from an upright heart; my lips sincerely speak what I know. The spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.”
Job 33:3-4

“Thus spirit = breath = life, the aliveness and power of your life, and to speak of your spirit (or soul) is to speak of the power of life that is in you.”

Traumatic experience can be one-off or recurrent in nature.
Common forms include physical or sexual abuse, or emotional or physical neglect. Experiencing trauma in childhood can result in severe and long-lasting effect on psychological health.

Various psychological illnesses can have association of trauma, for e.g., depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), drug and alcohol misuse, alterations in personality and dissociative disorders.

Unresolved trauma can haunt us throughout our lives in ways that often don’t seem direct.
As adults, we may attempt to forget or gloss over the past.
We may think, “My childhood wasn’t that bad” or “Many people had it worse than I did.” We don’t realize that these old wounds can have all kinds of physical and psychological effects.

Certain events may involuntarily trigger reactions in us that we haven’t thought about in years: guilt, shame, fear, or anger sourcing from early in our lives.

Although our instinct may be to bury the past, minimize, or avoid our pain, feeling the feeling of what happened to us can actually lead to healing. It can help us separate our early experiences from the present day and identify the negative overlays these experiences have on our current lives, including our physical health and relationships.

Well after 107 days of dedicated Dead Hangs my grip strength has improved to the point that I increased my overall dead hang time by a staggering 40+ seconds!

“A sensible man will remember that the eyes may be confused in two ways—by a change from light to darkness or from darkness to light; and he will recognise that the same thing happens to the soul.”

What is an Energy Vampire?
An energy vampire is a person who feeds off your emotional or psychic energy. People who display energy vampire traits generally lack empathy, consideration, and/or emotional maturity.

As a result of the pain or insecurity they feel inside, energy vampires are addicted to preying on the vitality of others as an attempt to heal their inner suffering.

Energy vampires may be attracted to you because they unconsciously desire to resolve a deeper problem within their psyches — and they perceive YOU as the solution to their problems.

Instead of taking self-responsibility for their lives, Victim/Martyr Vampires continually blame, manipulate, and emotionally blackmail others.

The Melodramatic Energy Vampire thrives on creating problems. Often, their need to create constant drama is the product of a dark underlying emptiness in their lives. Melodramatic Vampires also love seeking out crises because it gives them a reason to feel victimized (thus special and in need of love).

Energy Vampires display many of the following characteristics:
-Paranoia
-Resentment and anger issues
-Whining and complaining
-Insecurity, e.g., the constant need for reassurance and acceptance.
