"Time is our most valuable asset. Invest it, don’t waste it, kill it, or spend it. Don’t Major in the minors. Invest the majority of your time on activities that assist in your goals, align with your values, and serve your purpose.?
- Jim Rohn
You are the only one who can waste your time.
According to John Robinson, a time expert and professor of Sociology at the University of Maryland we have more free time than we think we have. The best way to find out where your time is going is to keep a journal of all of your activities for a week, then analyze it.
Write down every single activity
Start from the time you wake up until the time you go to sleep. Don’t cheat. Be honest with yourself so that you can get a true measurement of where your life is going. Your time journal will reveal your Time Activity Quotient, a quantifiable measurement of your priorities based on the time you spend doing those activities. Where your time is, there your heart is also. You will always make time for the important things in your life. What you say is not half as important as where you invest your time and energy.
This week look at your watch every time you switch activities. Check the time every time you pick up the phone and start a conversation with someone. How long was it? Was it personal or business? Was it important or casual? Was it with a family member or a real or imagined friend? Was it a conversation important to your relationships, business or something with measurable significance? Was it time spent or time wasted? Be honest with yourself and your family.
If you are spending your valuable emotional time on insignificant phone conversations, you now have the awareness to stop or continue with the knowledge that you are choosing to do it. This is an important revelation. If taken to heart, it can change your life.
Enjoy the newsletter and have an Awesome Week!

"We started using Body Balance just this past year. We have never seen anything like it! My husband, our 8-year-old son, and I all use this product every day. We are thrilled with the extra energy and vitality that we have all experienced. Our son has had some health challenges and is doing so much better since we have added Body Balance to his diet. We have recently turned on a lot of friends to the Life Force products, and they keep coming back for more! Thank you Life Force for these fantastic products!"

Weekly Fit Tip
Excessive sugar consumption is associated with many other factors that are harmful: obesity, the displacement of needed nutrients, and tooth decay. Most simple carbohydrates contain little amounts of vitamins, minerals and fiber. This is why candy, soda, cakes, and cookies are often called "empty calories," calories with little or no nutritional value.
It is important to recognize that all caloric sweeteners including fructose, honey, and many others are sugars too. The sugar amount may or may not be revealed in food products ingredient list. But if you look at the ingredients, and one of the many forms of sugar is the first ingredient, you'll know that this is the primary source of substance in that product, and thus does not provide a good source of nutrition. Also, be on the look out for several different forms of sugar listed separately, such as cornstarch, sucrose, corn syrup.
Even though sugar is the main ingredient of the product, it may not appear first or even second on the ingredient label, but may be included several times throughout the list in different forms. The following is a list of other forms of sugars that you should be aware of when reading labels: brown sugar, confectioners sugar, corn sweeteners, turbinado, raw or white sugar, molasses, maple sugar, maltose, levulose, lactose, invert sugar, honey, high-fructose corn syrup, granulated sugar, fructose, galactose, glucose, and dextrose.

Fight Osteoporosis...
"I want to thank you for all of your wonderful products! I had been suffering from foot discomfort for almost 10 years. Since taking the products - and I am sure it is the combination of all of them, but particularly the OsteoProCare - after about three months my feet were perfectly normal. It may also have something to do with the fact that I have lost about 30 pounds using the products. I have not even been trying to diet! I just think that when you get the proper nutrition you don't crave "junk food." I now crave my Body Balance! Life Force has been a great asset to both my physical and my financial health! Thank you for becoming a 'force' in my life!"

Victoria,
I have always enjoyed Victoria's Videos. In fact she helped me to lose over 40 lbs. a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, I did not have the willpower to keep up my exercise or to continue by new found lifestyle of healthy eating. I am now going to make a commitment to start again with a new attitude and "new Victoria videos" in hopes of lowering my cholesterol, my fat intake, and my weight. Thank you for all the help you have given me in the past as well as the near future. Also, thank you for making your workouts fun, exciting, and motivational. There is nothing like hearing you encourage me and let me know that I can do it. Thanks again.
Natalie C.
