Positive Thinking For A Healthier You In The New Year (2018)

                                             Healthy Aging Starts with Positive Thinking

Many people wander the earth believing they lack the intelligence, strength, mindset and power to achieve their goals. This negative mechanism holds them down, and keeps them back. You can gain motivation and live healthier, by simply telling yourself I can do it.  The old cliche, that "ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, IF YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO IT" is so true, if you really and truly put your mind to it.

How to tell self "I can do it" when it comes to life and fitness Goals:

Just say today I am going for a short walk. Tomorrow I will walk a little longer then the first day. You have to be in control of your thoughts, actions, behaviors, etc by building your power of the mind.

Nevertheless, if you do not put your mind to it and you decide that you do not want to become active, then you are only living a life filled with shortcomings. Your negative reflections will defeat the purpose of getting your thoughts in control.

Saying I will do it later, is another negative reflection. This is called procrastination, which leads to laziness. Laziness leads to weak muscles and joints, which gradually builds up to medical problems.

Take control of your thoughts. If you want to do something bad enough you will do what you have to do to get where you want to be. You need to make a goal and stick to it. Create plans that help you to reach your goals, and take action each day to achieve them.

When you give up, it is a sign that you lack faith in self and it is a clear indication of weakness. You need faith to stay strong, just as you need positive thinking to strive.

Good results:

Having a positive attitude will give you a jumpstart to a healthier life in 2018. Keep on pushing. Do not stop once you get started instead keep pushing until you reach your goal. When times get hard and you don't think, or feel you can go on just keep saying, "I can do this" while always keeping your head up in triumph and your mind open. Don't dwell on something you can't change, rather focus on the things you have the power to change.

How to continue positive living:

To stay positive you have to admit your feelings and express them. If you feel depressed or frustrated, just say it aloud. There is nothing wrong with showing emotions, providing you stay in control and learn to express what you feel.

You have to talk about how you feel and don't blame yourself, or others, but instead, try to figure out why you are so depressed or frustrated. Failing to discover your intentions or reasons will reduce your control, especially if you do not understand your "WHY". Do not worry about the cause, rather find your  "WHY", and the cause will come to you.

Here are some pointers that might help you to get where you want to be.
  • Find a good role model and become acquainted with their way of thinking positive. 
  • Try to talk positive and avoid any negative talk at all cost. 
  • Seek some support from friends and family.
  • Reward your self with a massage or try meditation. 

Make a plan and stay with it no matter if its a change in fitness, or life in general. Just remember you can do whatever you want to do and keep your mind set, and positive energy for the good things and not the bad things. This will make you feel better and make you a happier person.

Being happy, can lead to a healthier life. Don't forget to create a goal. Don't make the goal so high that you won't be able to achieve it,  doing this can lead to disappointment and discouragement. Instead ensure your goals are realistic, and obtainable. By doing this, you can foster motivation, keep the fire burning inside, while readjusting accordingly as each goal is met.

How To Age Well


As the years pass, and we get older, we need to remain active to keep our bodies and mental system in shape. The older a person gets the less our bodies want to function, so keeping it in shape is very important for all of us, even for those who are younger.

Sleeping is very important to all of us as we are aging. Aging brings on a different sleep pattern and we need to learn how to control it so when it is time to sleep we sleep well. It is normal as we age that it becomes harder to get a good nights sleep and feel as rejuvenated as we once did when we wake up. Getting a good nights rest is just as important as our diet and activities.

Did you know that it is harder for woman to sleep more so than men in their aging years?  Women have the tendency to feel stressed out more when trying to juggle a personal life, work, and family.  When this occurs they sometimes become just too busy to get themselves into an exercising routine.

Not getting enough sleep at night, can reduce your alertness during the day because you are tired. Long periods of sleepless nights can cause your blood pressure to rise, which is not good for the heart.

There are many reasons why some people cant get a good nights sleep. Sometimes you might sleep but it is a light sleep and we need to have a deep restful REM sleep. Sometimes you may awaken during the night from pain perhaps caused from arthritis, or some other ailment, or experience heartburn, which can cause you to get less sleep, as well.

Snoring, feeling depressed, or having a stressful day at the job, are all reasons that may be followed by a night where you are deprived of sleep.

How you can reduce the problems that cause you to lose sleep:

Caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine can cause you to lose sleep. Try not to drink any of these liquids before going to bed, and or smoke if at all possible.  Smoking is not only harmful to your body but it can cause you to lose sleep.

Excessive noise in the house, such as the TV or radio in the bedroom, can cause you to lose sleep as well,  so don't try to go to bed watching TV or listening to the radio; this will only keep you awake longer.

By researching information at 1st N Weight Loss, you can find information on aging well, or how to enjoy exercises that will help to reduce muscles spasms and/or arthritic symptoms. You can also learn about ways to reduce eating unhealthy foods which may cause heartburn, or how to reduce your drinking of caffeine-based substances before bed, which can help improve your sleep as well.

Do you have a pet that sleeps with you?

Even though you think they are giving you comfort it could cause you to lose precious sleep, which you need to age well. You may not realize it but every time your pet moves, or even snores; you can hear this while sleeping. Maybe you might have to get your pet a bed and let him sleep on the floor next to you. If you have allergies, your pet may be the cause, which can make you loose sleep as well.

Napping is not good if you take one during the day for more than 25 minutes. I understand that maybe you are not getting enough sleep during the night and how this can cause you to become a little tired in the afternoon. However, when you lie down during the day for long periods of time, it may cause you not to be able to go to sleep at night, because you are not as tired.

Before you lie down to rest tonight, consider drinking a warm glass of milk. Studies have shown that warm milk helps a person to relax, which may lead to a peaceful night rest.
