How did you like it?  Does it remind you of anyone you know?

This video is a few years old and I would imagine Dr. Glickman created the site after she wrote the book.  This page on the website describes what an accomplished person Rosalene Glickman is.  You may find it interesting reading.

What are your thoughts on Optimal Thinking?  Do you grasp the differences between this and Positive Thinking?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

What is Optimal Thinking you may be asking?

Have any of these thoughts ever crossed your mind?

What’s my greatest source of inspiration?
How can I make the most of my current situation?
What’s the most constructive use of my time right now?

If you entertain such thoughts, you are using Optimal Thinking.

Optimal Thinking is the mental technology that empowers you to be your best, and stops you from settling for second best.

Optimal Thinking — the language of your best self — is the mental basis of best practices, best solutions, best value, and peak performance.

So how does this compare and contrast to Positive Thinking?  Actually, check out this site for extensive information about all of this.

How many times have you heard about positive thinking.  I feel this is an over used term and somewhat outdated.  That phrase has been worn out, in my opinion.  Positive thinking is just not enough.

Aren’t we all so much more informed about things now, with the Internet and social media?  We have acquired so much information and now we need to sort it out and figure out what works for us and our life.

It’s not about the information we gather, it’s about how we apply what we have learned.  How do we take it and apply it to our life?  When we can think optimally, perhaps we will have a better quality of life.  Try it!

The following information is taken from the page in the Presto website that describes exactly what this is.  Check out this interesting site to learn what you can use for your loved ones who don’t have or use computers and the Internet.

What an amazing concept.  Who can you think of anyone you know who may want to know about this?

Let me know if you know of anyone who is already using this.  I find the concept fascinating!  How about you?

Recently I found this site, with an article you may find interesting.  In this article is a ‘Functional Fitness Test‘ that gives specific things to do and how to do them.  It seems to be a great guide if you are just getting started.

O.K.  Not everyone relates to fitness, exercise or taking the time to workout.  However, let’s face it…  It’s time to get over IT!  You know, just do it!

Having gone to our local YMCA over the past year, I’ve seen lots of people like us there, putting their time into themselves, physically getting into or staying in shape.

This month I’m working with a personal trainer two days a week at another facility in our town and it is amazing how many people (like me) are there.  The purpose of my training is to establish a routine to cover the parts of working out that I don’t get from the treadmill…  Like core, upper body strength, balancing.

I’ve been walking outside for years and for the past five years mainly in our lower level on the treadmill an average of five days a week.  When I ramped up to 45 minutes last year, I was doing about 2.5 miles.  Recently I’ve figured out that I can go faster and cover the same distance in less time.

How is your fitness success?  What are you doing to stay or get in shape?  We’d really like to hear from you.

By the way, remember the movie (I think it was, What About Bob?)  Remember, “Baby steps…  Baby steps…”  If you haven’t worked out, it’s always the right time to start.  Little bit by little bit.

Recently I came across this blog for the first time.  You may find this site interesting.  While I was scrolling through various blog posts, I came across one that referred to The Ten Year Journal.

The concept of this journal is that you write five lines each day of the year and then repeat it every year for ten years.

The ‘official’ Ten Year Journal is available from Amazon.  I’ve provided the link to the current journal that starts with 2012 at $39.  It appears there are journals available that start in previous years and cost less.

Personally, I have not done this.  It is something I’ve considered.  I have dabbled in it every so often over the past fifteen years or so.

We’d love to hear from you and your thoughts about this.  Have you been doing this?  Have you considered it at all.  Will you now, with the knowledge that there is a journal that could make it somewhat easy?

Actually, I would think that if you had a journal all set up with specific dates and the few lines to fill in each day, it would be pretty simple to do.

Anyone going to take the plunge and commit to doing it?  I guess the main thought would have to be, ‘Just for today, I will write my five lines‘.  And before you know it, years will have passed!

Let us know.

Enjoy today, whether you are a Mom or not.

Now you can get your sleep back.  For questions check this out.

Let me know what you think.  Thanks.

Worth a look!  Let me know how you like it.

Although this was created a few years ago,  it’s certainly timeless.

What part do you relate to the most?

Thanks to my friend Jeff Morris for sharing this on his Facebook Wall.  I’m sharing it here, but we should all share it in some way.  This is so inspirational for us all.

Haven’t we all heard stories where a doctor has pronounced a gloomy future for someone.  I guess it’s because of their traditional ‘western’ medical education.  So much has been written and shown to indicate that there just may be alternatives for people.

I’m not saying I am trained in any way to be an authority, but I personally have heard of many people being helped from alternative methodologies.

Wow!!!  Yoga!  Who knew!

What are some success stories you’ve heard of that people have recovered in some way other than non-traditional medicine?
