The #1 Secret For Getting the Perfect Body


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Every fitness article and new piece of equipment promises quick, easy lasting results if you use their product.  What they never tell you is that there is far more to getting the perfect body than doing 5 minutes of sit-ups or cutting out a bit of junk food.  Everywhere we look nowadays there is a different "perfect" workout plan to achieve our goals.  In fact, there are so many different ideas floating around out there that they often contradict one another, leaving us confused as to which one is the best.  So how can there be just one idea, one secret that helps it all make sense?  Well, there is one thing that is rarely if ever written about when it comes to fitness and nutrition.

The progress must be enjoyable, not just the outcome.  The secret is to teach yourself to love what your are doing, not just the end result.  In the beginning your number one goal shout not be to kill yourself for immediate results, but rather to teach yourself to enjoy what you are doing so that you want to continue and not have to continue day after day. 

How much does your mental state have to do with losing weight or getting ripped, or looking good naked?  Everything.  That is why it is so astonishing that it is never written about. There is a science behind this called neuropathic conditioning.  If you learn to link pleasure to your daily exercise routine, you begin to create new neuro pathways within the brain.  The more you work out and keep it pleasurable, the stronger and larger the neuro pathways become.  This causes the release of more hormones, allowing for faster, lasting results and a general feeling of well being.  Conversely, if you link pain and distaste to working out, you begin to create neuro pathways in your brain based on those feelings, making it almost impossible to continue on to your goal.  You literally teach your body to rebel against your workout or rebel against losing weight.  It is a science of programming the body.  The better you program it, the easier it becomes to enjoy what you have started.

It may seem like it's easy to say you will enjoy your workouts, but hard to actually follow through on right?  Wrong.  You must learn to use your imagination! Whatever you need to do to enjoy moving, do it.  Be creative, find a workout routine that changes constantly.    Do whatever it takes. Change where you workout, change what you do each day, change the time of day you work out. Pick out what makes you happy and work at it until you become bored, then move on to something new.  What do you love to do?  Remember to remind yourself over and over just how good you feel after a great workout.  Take 5 minutes and tell yourself over and over how amazing you feel.  You can literally learn to train your body to become happier and happier every single time you work out.  Just put a little effort into it and the results will last the rest of your life.  The science of neuropathic conditioning is by far the most powerful fitness tool that you can use.

I designed a complete workout system with this in mind and I encourage you to learn more about it. Please, visit www.dynamicsofmotion.com to learn more.

Reading Your Bible - Getting Started and Sticking With It


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Are you a person who has trouble reading your Bible. You've seen a hundred "Get Through the Bible in One Year" advertisements, but you can't seem to stick with the program. If you're having trouble then you're like I was when I began reading my Bible.

The purpose of reading your Bible is to seek Jesus not to read through the Bible in one year. The Bible tells us the person that reads the Bible and meditates on it day and night will bring forth fruit. (See Psalms 1:1-6)

A Small Commitment

The key to reading the Bible is to make a commitment to read the Bible every day and sticking with it. I recommend that new believers read five or ten verses of the Bible every day. If you're reading a great passage that is more than your allotment and you want to finish it, by all means finish it. But, don't increase your commitment until you are ready.

It is better to read small portions of the Bible and meditate on what you've read than to read a large portion that you can't remember.

Don't be afraid to write notes in your Bible. When you write something down you are thinking about it. Underlining and writing notes in your Bible helps you find passages quicker and easier.

Life Happens

Keep your allotted reading low enough so that when your day is especially hectic you can still meet your commitment. There was more than one day I barely finished my reading before I passed out from exhaustion.

By making a daily commitment and sticking to it you will begin learning. Just as a baby needs daily food, Christians need daily spiritual food.

Pray and Meditate

Begin each Bible reading session with prayer. A simple prayer like, "Lord help me to read, hear, do, and share the word you give me today. In Jesus name. Amen."

We are to do everything in Jesus name, and that includes reading the Bible. (Read Colossians 3:17) When you pray believe that God through his Spirit will reveal his word to you. (Read James 1:5-8)

After reading the Bible take a few minutes to think about what you read. (That's what meditation is.) If you pray, read, and meditate on the word you will be surprised how quickly you'll be able to grasp the knowledge.

Do the Word

True understanding of the word only comes through applying the word to your life. If you don't apply what you study a full understanding will escape you. (Read Hebrews 5:14)

Where to Begin

I always advise new Christians to begin in the New Testament. Read through the New Testament at least two or three times before trying to read through the Old Testament. That will give you time to grasp the grace of Jesus Christ.

Don't get Discouraged

If you miss a day don't try to catch up on your reading by doubling it. You may put a burden on yourself that you will increase your disappointment. Just keep your commitment from that point.

Finally

If you find you can do more reading and want to do more reading then by all means do it. If you find that you increased too much then by all means decrease the commitment to the previous level. The point is to read your Bible daily. I find many days I go over my allotted number of pages, but there are days when it's a real struggle to meet my allotted number of pages.

The idea is to seek the Lord's face through his word, the Bible. He will honor your commitment.

II Timothy 1:12, "...for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day."
