VOL. 8/8/05

This Week's
Issue



Give yourself Power Answers.

If you want empowering answers, ask empowering questions. The quality of your question will determine the quality of your answer.

Look for positive answers and solutions by phrasing every question in a way your mind perceives is positive. Apply your time and energy on the solutions; not on the problem. Keep 80% of your focus on the solutions with positive expectancy and empowering questions:

Who can help me?
Who else?
Who else? Keep adding to your list.
Where can I look for solutions?
Where else?
Where else? Keep going.
What else can I do?
What else?
What else? Keep on going.
Write out three of your own power questions.

Keep asking power questions until you receive the positive answer that will move you forward toward your goal. You posses all wisdom with in you including the answer you are looking for, you just have to uncover them.

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

Listen to Your Body, Experiment, and Customize for Your Needs

As with exercise, you should continually experiment to discover what works best for you with food. Creating the right diet plan should be a process of trial and error: ongoing experimentation with portion sizes, food combinations, eating at different times of the day, etc. This will take time and practice on your part. Prepare to be flexible and willing to learn from your mistakes. Every time you experiment with an open mind, you have an excellent opportunity to improve. Take advantage of this!

Many diet plans tell you what to eat, how much to eat, and when to eat it. This does not teach you how to attend to your own cravings, desires, or hunger. This teaches you nothing about living and feeling healthier and happier. Everyone has different strengths, weaknesses, and eating patterns. You will only become successful when you learn to respond to your own feelings and not to what someone else says is right for you. It is critical that you learn how to be aware of and attend to both feelings of hunger and fullness, and learn what will satisfy you both physically and psychologically.

Your own body, not someone else’s routine, is the very best guide for how much you need to eat. Try to get in the habit of tuning in to your internal cues of hunger, and not just eating the amount of food you think you should, or tuning in to external cues like the sight or smell of food. It’s okay to eat any amount of food to feel both physically and psychologically satisfied. But you must learn to stop when you feel comfortably full, not stuffed.

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
