I’m working towards reducing stress by slowing down, taking things off my schedule, stepping down from some of my responsi-bilities at work, and delegating more from my to do list. As I sub-tract things from my life, I’d like to incorporate exercise into my routine and shift my focus to self-care, and start to see this excess weight come off my body.”

It seems I have many aches and pains, and not a lot of vitality. I hope to see a huge change in the way my body feels, how I look, and I hope to use this program as a springboard into a regular rou-tine of wellness. I also want to feel good about taking my shirt off (superficial I know, but definitely a mental trigger that would tell me I am doing it). At the end of the day, I want to be healthy to live a long, engaged and active life with my wife and two boys.”

We are all taught to have impoverished dreams for ourselves and to think that buying things will make us happy. I flip this on its head and say shoot for greatness. That is, be—don’t buy—happiness.
Just remember: You are not alone. Sometimes success requires us to be humble enough to know that we can’t do it all by ourselves, and to reach out to others for help. This is true for everyone; so don’t be afraid to ask! Now, I know many people (mainly men) who like to rely on digital shortcuts (Google Maps, anyone?) rather than ask people for help. But you know the most amazing part about turning to each other? Most of us actually want to help! In our super independent society, it’s easy to forget that as human beings, we are programmed to care.
How Finding Your Why Helps You
As you start to feel better about yourself, life will turn a happy corner. Perhaps you’ll enjoy supercharged energy levels. Maybe you will handle stress better, or notice your metabolism working faster. Your life will be filled with good vibes and move along with a sense of bounce.
