This Week's
Issue




Consciously engage in Powerful Positive Visualization so that your actions will match up with your ideal self.

To be a star
You must shine
Your own light,
Follow your own path,
And don’t worry
About the darkness
For that is when the Stars
SHINE BRIGHTEST!

This poem is featured on one of my favorite postcards

Move with Power. Surround Yourself with Power move with positive body language. Use positive gestures. Say positive words. Surround yourself with positive, healing, and powerful material, art, and images at home, at work, in your car, or wherever you have the space. Remodel your environment so that it reflects your new image. It doesn’t have to be expensive, just empowering. Be creative.

Choose your new surroundings. Replace your old images with new ones. Get rid of old photographs, furniture, CD’s, or anything that reminds you of past negativity. This includes past relationships, bad experiences, or any other energy zapping, dream drowning memories or pains. Dump it, give it away, give it to charity, or burn it. It’s done, it’s all over. It will never control your life again. You have a new beginning.

This week we are cleaning our closets! Making space for the new things that our Father has for us. Nature will always fill a vacuum.. so let's make that space and make room for the new blessings to come in!

Enjoy the newsletter and have an Awesome Week!

Weekly Fit Tip

How Often to Eat

The frequency of how often we eat per day ("meal frequency") has been shown to greatly affect how fat we are. Many studies have concluded that those who eat 4-6 smaller meals per day have less body fat than those eating 2-3 meals a day, despite the fact that both groups eat about the same number of calories. Eating only 3 times a day requires us to go too long without eating. By the time lunch or dinner rolls around, we are so famished we eat anything easily available. Eating small, healthy snacks in between meals not only prevents you from gorging; it increases your metabolism and helps you feel energized and satisfied throughout the day.

Eating a large meal increases the opportunity for fat cells to extract fat from the blood and, therefore, grow bigger. Fat cells can actually adapt to a pattern of large, infrequent meals by becoming more efficient at storing fat. In addition, a 2-3 meal-a-day pattern causes the body to face long stretches without food. This eating pattern tricks the body into thinking it's in a state of starvation, initiating physiological changes that actually slow down your body's resting metabolic rate, the number of calories "burned" at rest.

This occurs because your body is trying to conserve energy and prevent starvation. A reduction in metabolic rate slows fat loss. This is another reason why traditional fad diets do not work. Our body responds to the reduction in calories as if it were starving and our metabolism slows down.
