The Triple Change Plan
3 Steps.... 3 Times.... 3 Weeks

For the next three weeks, follow this plan every time a problem arises. It takes 21 days for a new process to become a habit. After 21 days you will have learned a new way of creating the permanent changes you need to succeed whenever a problem appears.

1. Recognize, admit, and own the problem or behavior that is limiting your progress. You can’t truly change something if you don’t accept that it is yours.

2. Get a mentor, role model, or coach. Get Effective Help
- Real Support (not just familiar friends or associates.) But professional advice, through books, tapes, counselors, and business or social organizations. Ask. Ask. Ask.

3. Establish checkpoints
. Ask yourself on a consistent basis: Am I on target with my game plan? Do I need to change something else? Was the change I made a good one? Keep evaluating and readjusting as needed. Fortunately, it’s never over, you always get another chance at making things better. Enjoy the process and grow from the journey.

Remember, for the next three weeks, follow this plan every time a problem arises. By repeating this process over and over it will become the permanent way that you handle and deal with challenges that arise in your life.

Once you have started to make the necessary changes, go to work on your dreams and watch your dreams go to work on you!

Enjoy the newsletter and have an Awesome Week!

Liquid Nutrition

"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

It's very important that you begin your healthier lifestyle with an understanding that there will be days when you will stray from healthy eating and exercising. Before you begin, tell yourself that no matter what
happens, rather than abandoning your new lifestyle, you'll resume your healthy habits as soon as you can; it is equally important that you feel confident, not guilty, about doing so.

Whatever the temptation or obstacle is, keep in mind that it's not wrong or bad to eat fattening foods once in a while or to miss a workout. Just remember to resume your healthy lifestyle as soon as possible afterwards. If you keep moving forward and you don't let guilt and discouragement stop your program all together, you'll eventually have improved eating and exercise habits - and good results.

With this approach, there is no such thing as "cheating." When we feel we are cheating, we often punish ourselves; we make ourselves feel guilty, frustrated and defeated. Replacing the negative concept of cheating with the idea of "straying temporarily from healthy habits" takes away the all-or-nothing emphasis of right and wrong.

If you treat every deviation from your plan as a failure, you won't get very far. Substituting the idea of a brief straying away from your plan instead of feeling guilty, and learning to return more and more quickly to healthier habits, is more realistic. It's also easier and more enjoyable - today and in the long-run.

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!"

Barbara Kardokus, OK
