Editing My Life Away

My editor has given me quite the editorial challenge on my new book Strong Kids, Healthy Kids (you might have to scroll down a tad to see the cover of the new book and can sign up to be informed of the release  if you wish) and so I am now into full blown editing mania. Just when you thought you were smart...

Until I get done with her very fine and correct edits, I won't be blogging as often. So bear with me as I finish up this difficult but rewarding task. (It's coming Jacquie I promise!!!)



I need to concentrate, concentrate, concentrate...

The Three Worst Words

When strung together, the three worst words in the English language are:

You made me....

Usually these words are followed by words like: 'feel,' 'do,' 'lose,' etc.

But it's just as bad when you follow these three words with positive endings like: 'love,' 'happy,' 'understand,' etc.

No one makes you do or feel anything. Not really.

These three words should be replaced by:

I choose to...

Taking responsibility for your actions, your feelings, and your successes and failures will lead to a higher degree of accomplishment and the sustainability of such accomplishments.

"I choose to be stronger." "I choose to become leaner." "I choose to become healthy."

These are far more powerful ways of expressing your desires and making them come true.

And as a bonus thought, if your thinking about becoming stronger, leaner and healthier, stop deciding and choose.

Big difference.

Happy New Year!

I wanted to take a sec to say Happy New Year to everyone!

I also wanted to say how very grateful I am for the opportunity to help any of you who I have helped with this blog.

I receive many emails from folks who tell me how my book and the information here on this blog has helped them. That's what it's all about! Thank you for allowing me into your lives.

I also apologize for taking so long to blog again but my new book is due to plop into my editors graceful hands this coming Monday and there is still much to do (well not much but some).

So, I'll be back soon blogging away on health fitness issues that I hope will help you all live stronger, longer!

Cheers!
