How to Lose weight by Scott Schmidt at www.gethealthgetlife.com
Dedication, hard work, ensuring an appropriate self-view, defining food to employ proper eating habits, and correctly executing exercises are the fundamental steps to losing weight effectively. As a result, I have lost over fifty pounds by embracing this process. First begin by dedicating to yourself, “no matter what happens quitting is not an option until the goal is met”. Miriam Webster online at www.dictionary.com defines dedication as, “a devoting or setting aside for a particular purpose”. So what does one dedicate? Simply put, lay aside a set amountof time and money for this specific purpose as it is not only crucial but the most important step. Next, hard work is the second step so without interference from a spouse, friend, child, or co-worker research the cheapest, closest, most comfortable gym and purchases a membership. Above all, take the time set aside in step one and spread it over three or four days within the week, go purchase one of following books, for men I recommend getting, “The Men’s Health Hard-Body Plan” by Larry Keller and for Women I recommend “The Body Sculpting for Women Second Edition, and The Way to Physical Perfection”. Perhaps, getting a gym membership, showing up on time, and following a plan is difficult but this is precisely why the second most difficult step is hard work. As soon as the prior things are accomplished the third step to losing weight involves ensuring that an appropriate self view is established. No doubt there are millions of books when it comes to defining identity and I could spend millions of pages discussing them, however it comes down to one definition. Quoting Kathy Koch “You are a unique one of a kind unrepeatable miracle” that said, follow the definition with my statement designed to ____________ and an appropriate self view is established. Losing weight is not about losing weight subsequently take the time to fill in the blank and the answer will get to the heart of it all. For this reason, whether it is to be a great father, an awesome wife, a caring nurse, the purpose to lose weight is defined by the passion of an established appropriate self view. Second to last, what is food? Simple, by definition of Miriam Webster at www.dictionary.com it is “material, usually of plant or animal origin that contains or consists of essential body nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals, and is ingested and assimilated by an organism to produce energy, stimulate growth, and maintain life”. Perhaps, food is our fuel to fulfill our passion. Most importantly, this step includes research and implementation of a well balanced diet. Therefore, www.fitday.com is the perfect resource to follow a preset balanced eating program specific to your age, weight, and activity level. Finally, correctly executed exercises are the final step to ensure the weight will come off. Surely, do the right things take the time to learn about technique, and do not over extend your joints. Think, joints are finished growing and the object is to burn fat and build muscle so do each exercise slowly, and stay within the muscle. Any personal trainer will display this for free but be careful they will also try to sell a two hundred and fifty dollar a month motivational plan. To sum it all up, losing weight is a personal battle that will test anyone’s humanity in almost every aspect. It is not an easy process and there are thousands of ways to do this one process, however this way has proved to be both healthy and successful as I am living proof of this process. Take Care because you’re worth it!

Physiolgical & Psycological Benefits of Hope By Scott Schmidt
Physiolgical & Psycological Benefits of Hope By Scott Schmidt
Get Health Get lifeWhat are the effects of a feeling? Are they positive or negative? For many, hope has produced various profound physiological and psychological healing effects. Until recently, these positive proclamations have not always been supported by the medical community. In order to discuss the complexity of these effects effectively, hope must be defined and its positive effects relating to the healing process described. www.dictionary.com defines hope as, “a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life.” Secondly they define it as, “the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best”. Hope is like the wind; no can see it, grab it, or touch it yet, there’s absolutely no doubt the effects are beautifully magnificent. For this reason, something called the placebo effect which is physiological in nature is now becoming established within the medical community. According to Millicent Bond in a recent study, “Groopman utilizes the placebo effect and the nervous system, with the help of hope, combats pain.” (Groopman, The Anatomy of Hope. New York: Random House Press, 2004. p. (175-190). Bond, Also states, “The placebo effect is widely accepted by medical doctors and scientists. It shows that in some cases a placebo or fake cure can satisfy patients and make them believe they are cured when in reality no medicine, surgery, or treatment has been given. For example a doctor who prescribes a sugar pill or pill containing no medicine to a group of patients suffering from an illness, without telling them that the drug is a placebo, will have some patients who report their symptoms have faded.” (Groopman, The Anatomy of Hope. New York: Random House Press, 2004. P. (175 - 190). In addition, another result of hope is psychological in nature and positively crucial to a person’s emotional recovery. In fact, according to Steven JOnken, PhD “Having a sense of hope, purpose and meaning in one’s life supports recovery.” (Mental Health Recovery: What Helps and What Hinders?) Pg.30 In the same way, this particular study helps us value the accomplishment that people experience during recovery. For example, people begin to develop a sense of meaning and purpose. Furthermore, they begin to reclaim and appreciate their personal strengths. Beyond that, their spirituality becomes acknowledged and their choices become more meaningful. As a result, their friends and peers even become optimistic. Coincidently, a rejuvenation process of knowing what’s important and what’s not is established. Therefore, we have to conclude that this feeling or belief called hope has helped millions of people overcome amazing circumstances beyond comprehension. Perhaps, the effect of remaining hopeful affects the outcome of our circumstance. Essentially, the result of our hope directly coincides with the belief of it. All in all, the effect of hope comes down to one cause and that my friend is faith.
