THE 4 KEYS TO “SUPER HEALTH”
This past weekend I completed two certifications through the Supreme Science Qigong Center (www.qigong.com), founded by Jeff Primack. They were Certification as Qigong Instructor, level one and Certification Food Healing Instructor.
This blog was developed in consultation with Kevin Schoeninger, long time friend, personal trainer, and Qigong Master. His site is www.powerofpractice.com.
It takes energy to lead at your peak level; to grow a successful business; and to become wealthy. The more energetic vitality you have, the better leader you can become, greater difference you can achieve, and more money you can make.
Without vitality, you can’t lead effectively, become successful, or even enjoy your life. You certainly won’t be able to enjoy your ideal lifestyle.
In fact, when you are tired and worn out, you can’t achieve much, period! I am certain that your own experiences confirm this statement.
If you want make an important contribution to our world and achieve and achieve millionaire success, then you must generate abundant energy so you hit on all cylinders. You must consciously choose a super healthy. vital lifestyle. This is the only way you can perform at your peak and achieve your maximum results each day.
Do you lack the energy, focus, and passion necessary to lead others and build your business? Do you feel you are living half-way instead of fully? When you are physically out of shape and lack vital energy then it is easy to feel sluggish and become sick.
By contrast, when you are physically healthy, you have the energy necessary to lead, grow your business, and make your contribution to our world.
But your health is more than physical in nature. It also includes other dimensions. The mental dimension is influenced by the thoughts you feed your mind. These include not only the habitual statements that you make to yourself but also the messages you receive from the environment in which you choose to live.
A third dimension of health comes from your emotions. When you are positive and passionately excited by your activities, you not only support your immune system and health state, your enthusiasm and motivation provide you with a jet blast of energy.
There is also a fourth dimension of health and vitality. It is spiritual. When you feel spiritually connected to something that is bigger than you, a sense of purpose, a vision you want to achieve with your business and life, you feel energized to move forward. Why? You want to attain your vision because it truly matters. You want to achieve something significant with your life.
There is an attitude that relates to health, vitality, and wealth. When you are focused in an attitude of gratitude, you become conscious of what you are receiving. As a result of being thankful of what you are receiving, you open yourself to receive more.
Acknowledging how grateful you feel not only for what has already come into your life but what is and will come into your life has a your health and well being.
When you are grateful, you feel expansive and energized to achieve the visionary purpose you feel called to achieve—with your life and business. This is true whether you express your gratitude to other people, while in communion with your understanding of Higher Power, or by acknowledging your gratitude to yourself.
Energize your life by being grateful for all the many ways in which you have grown and learned throughout your life.
If you want to achieve full health and vitality, then include each of the following in your lifestyle.
1. Healthy Eating and Hydration: This information is to help you begin to consider general concepts about a healthy diet. Each person is different and your ideal diet may be different from this therefore you should always consult with your medical or health practitioner before changing diets.
For many people, a healthy diet includes whole foods such as freshly harvested vegetables and fruits together with whole grains and small amounts of fish and animal protein. The healthiest way to live is to be free from sugar, white flour, processed and chemically enhanced foods including soda drinks, as well as large amounts of animal fats, caffeine and excessive alcohol.
Further, focusing on an alkaline body state, which eating green vegetables will help you to achieve, rather than an acidic body, may promote greater health by making it more difficult for diseases to develop within your body. In addition, drink purified water throughout the day. For most people one half to a one gallon of water per day will keep you hydrated.
However, if you engage in strenuous exercise, sports, are exposed to heat, you may need more water or other forms of hydration. Green tea is also a healthy form of hydration.
2. Exercise: Several times a week engage in these three types of exercise: aerobic to speed up your body’s metabolism and help your cardiovascular and lymph systems; strength training through the usage of weights; and stretching both to warm your body up prior to physical exercise and cool it down afterwards as well as to increase your body’s flexibility.
3. Conscious Relaxation: Performing one or more types of energy movements will help you consciously relax while also vitalizing your body in ways that promote holistic health. This is because energy work involves the body, mind, heart, and soul. I suggest that you develop an energy practice that includes one or more of these: qigong, t’ai chi, yoga, deep breathing.
4. Adequate Sleep and Recovery: In order to revitalize and achieve your optimum energy state and health, you must have adequate sleep and time to recover. For most people, seven to eight hours of sleep each day is ideal. To enhance the quality of your sleep, refrain from caffeine and eating at least two to three hours prior to sleep.
Also allow time, free from outside stimulation such as information based reading, computer work, or television at least an hour prior to going to bed.This will allow your system to naturally begin to relax and prepare for a restful sleep.
Body, mind, emotion, and spirit combine to fuel your health and keep you moving forward as a conscious leader. Together they create your energy state. If your energy is low, then you find it difficult to make conscious decisions.
You simply don’t have the fuel to activate the higher regions of your mind and to remain aware. Moreover, when your energy is low you usually find it hard to stay focused and take consistent actions.
To achieve at your peak level as a leader, you must consciously focus on taking actions designed to develop all four areas of vitality: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
And, because all of energy is interrelated, generating one type of vitality gives you more overall vitality—each dimension of health influences all of the others.
Developing and maintaining vital health and fitness is the foundation for all the success you will have, both as a leader and an entrepreneur. Make a conscious choice today to develop a high energy, healthy life.
Commit to eating a high energy diet, exercising several times a week, and taking time to consciously relax and vitalize your being by engaging in some form of regular energy work. Also, allow adequate time to sleep and recover. Take a holistic approach to achieving super health and well being.
As with any health or exercise approach, consult with your doctor or professional health adviser before undertaking any changes in your diet, exercise, or health program. Information presented may not be appropriate or safe for your situation.
Coaching: Write three conscious focused actions you will take over the next twenty-four hours to become more healthy and fit.
