To many time I have uttered the words, “if I could just drop a few pounds”. Sometime I do, sometimes I don’t. It finally occurred to me that I was living the “HAVE-DO-BE” scenario. Many of us live our lives wanting a result and agonizing over not achieving our goal. It is typically because we start from the wrong in. We say “I want to lose weight”, or “I want to get into shape” or “If I could have a good relationship I would be happy”. You are living the “Have-Do-Be” approach to life.
I believe this is what keeps most of us from turning our dreams into our life style.
Be happy and you will have a good relationship. If you “BE” what it is you want, you will “DO” the things that are needed to “HAVE” the thing you desire.
3 Easy Steps:
-
BE - Commit yourself to your goal (healthful living, Be a Runner, Be a Doctor)
-
DO – Align your life style with your values. (Eat right, exercise, Give of yourself, study hard.)
-
HAVE – Feel better about yourself spiritually, more fulfilled, physically stronger with more energy, more knowledgeable.
Oh by the way, if you are BEING healthy you might just lose the weight you don’t need.
I wrote an article last week called "Best ways to Avoid 5 Common Running Injuries". I left out one major problem. Sciatica or The Sciatic Nerve condition.
Sciatica is another one of those common running injuries that can become serious enough that it can stop a running career. The good news it is usually treatable with rest and proper exercise and treatment.
Spine-health.com website has several videos and lots of information starting with the Sciatica Health Center.
I found the Videos on the condition very informative and inlightening. The information from this site is by Stephen H. Hochschuler, MD:
Other great information on Sciatica are:
I hope you find this information useful and please feel free to give me your feedback.
