Banish the Blues

What goes into our mouths and what comes out of it can greatly affect our mood, so take responsibility for your own happiness with these simple tips to staying upbeat!

TIP 1

Eat Happy Food!

Food can have a dramatic effect on how we feel emotionally, both because of our bodies’ reaction to the food itself and also due to our preconceptions of what food is naughty and what is permissible.

Here are 3 food components that will enhance your mood. I’ve chosen them because they release the chemicals necessary to cause a good mood slowly and sustainably. You want to avoid eating foods that give you a sudden high like refined sugars, as this sudden mood lift will be followed by a crash. The trick is to maintain a steady flow of feel good chemicals to your brain throughout the day.

1.    Omega 3

Found in for example:

• Salmon
• Herring
• Mackerel
• Trout
• Sardines
• Walnuts
• Pumpkin seeds
• Flaxseeds and Flaxseed oil

Enhances your mood by boosting serotonin levels which curb anxiety and make us feel relaxed.

2.    Phenylalanine

Found in for example:

• Fresh beetroot
• Endamame beans
• Almonds
• Eggs
• Grains
• Meat, particularly Turkey so use turkey instead of chicken when you are cooking

Enhances your mood because your body needs slow-release phenylalanine in order to create dopamine which is a feel good chemical that sends positive mood-enhancing messages out our brain.

Eggs and meat also contain tryptophan which helps to create serotonin.

Although alcohol also boosts dopamine levels, it then creates a similar crash as a sugar high, resulting in hangover symptoms and feeling worse than before.

3.    Anandamide

Found in:

Chocolate

Although chocolate only contains small amounts of anadamide, other components cause the anandamide to release slowly and stay in the body longer, boosting out mood. Obviously a lot of chocolate is not good for you, so buy a bar with a high cocoa content (over 70%) and just eat a couple of squares to improve your mood. Chocolate also helps the body to release endorphins which are the chemicals released that make us happy when we exercise. But of course chocolate is not a substitute for exercise!  

Toxins

Toxins in the body can make us feel sluggish and miserable.

Shakeology smoothies and shakes help to gently eliminate toxins from the body

Making you feel both physically and mentally lighter and improving your mood.

Fiber is also great for ridding the body of toxins, lowering cholesterol, speeding up your metabolism and keeping you regular. For high grade fiber that contains no color, additives or preservatives and instead contains the brilliant amino acid L-glutamine to prevent muscle loss and boost immunity, click here: http://bit.ly/l8BKF3

TIP 2

Talk Yourself Up!

Now that we’ve looked at how what we put in our mouth can affect our mood, let’s look at what comes out of our mouth and how that can affect us!

What is an Affirmation?

An affirmation is a positive statement designed to help you counteract negative beliefs.  We tell ourselves negative things many times a day. Who hasn’t said to themselves or to a friend “I’m too fat”,  “I never have any money” or “I’m not very good at public speaking” for example. These constant declarations of not being good enough all take their toll on our psyche and we start to believe them to be true. If we start to say the opposite to ourselves. “I love my body”, “I am grateful for the money I have and making money is easy”, or “I am good at speaking in public and I enjoy it” for example, this has a positive affect on our psyche and we start to believe we are capable of achieving what we want and that we deserve it.

Replace the Negative with a Positive

Many people find saying positive affirmations to themselves very difficult at first. It’s strange as we find it very easy to tell ourselves and our friends negative things about ourselves without any embarrassment. As with all things practice makes perfect and if you say positive affirmations to yourself every day when you get up and before you go to bed, then after a few weeks you will start to have more self-belief and your life will get noticeably better as you move towards your goals.

Make a list of the 3 main things you are unhappy about in your life and the negative things you say to yourself every day.

Write a short sentence affirming the opposite for each of the three negative statements. The sentence should be in the present tense, short and easily memorable.

Every morning as soon as you wake up repeat each of the positive affirmations 5 times each as a positive mantra. Some people like to look in the mirror, others prefer to stand in a clear space in a peaceful room.  Repeat this exercise again before you go to bed.

Say the affirmations loudly and with conviction.

Actions Speak Just as Loud as Words

If you accompany each affirmation with a positive action then this will anchor each positive thought in your mind. So find a powerful movement to do for each affirmation. For example pumping the air while saying “I love my body” would work well for most people.  You will eventually start to believe that you love your body and it stands to reason that if you start to love yourself you will take better care of yourself by eating well and exercising until you genuinely have a body that you are proud of.

Eat well, speak well of yourself and in a very short space of time you will start to see a happier, healthier more relaxed you with a wonderful positive mental attitude, so you can accomplish all your goals!

5 Top Tips To Get Rid of Cellulite Fast

What is Cellulite?

Cellulite is the name given to the dimpled effect the majority of women get on their thighs and bottom. It makes the surface of the skin look uneven in what some people term an “orange peel” or “cottage cheese” effect. The dimpled effect is caused by 3 things that are found naturally in your body, water, lymphatic fluid and fat. Usually these elements would be held by collagen fibers under the skin and wouldn’t be visible, but if the collagen and connective tissue are weakened and break down, little lumps of fat push through towards the surface layer of your skin causing an uneven surface and the dreaded dimple effect we all hate so much!

Cellulite and You!

If you have unsightly cellulite it probably upsets you no doubt wish you could get rid of it. Well don’t despair as there are various ways you can help yourself to get rid of it or at the very least make it less obvious!

Why Are Women More Prone to Cellulite Than Men?

One school of thought is that collagen fibers break down in the body due to a female hormone imbalance and also that we may be genetically predisposed to get cellulite, which could explain why far more women have cellulite than men.

What Causes Cellulite?

In addition to factors such as genetics and hormones, some scientists believe that toxins are responsible for cellulite. The processed and genetically modified food we eat, the water we drink and any alcohol, cigarettes prescription and illegal drugs we ingest, all take their toll on our bodies. If the body hasn’t been able to eliminate these toxins, they are stored just under the skin’s surface where they cannot damage any other important organs such as the heart or lungs.

Scientists don’t all agree about this but all I know is, that if I don’t smoke, don’t drink alcohol, eat healthily and exercise regularly my cellulite disappears in weeks and doesn’t come back until I slip up!

Here are 3 top Cellulite Busting Tips To Give You Dimple Free Thighs

1. Dry Body Brushing.

Brushing your dry skin daily before you shower or bath:

• Exfoliates the top layer of the skin leaving it baby soft
• Stimulates the lymphatic system helping it to eliminate toxins form the body
• Boosts your circulation which helps your blood carry nutrients to your essential organs
• Stimulates the skins production of natural oil or sebum to moisturise skin from within
• Feels energising and FANTASTIC!
• The best brush to use is a natural bristle brush with massage pads on the back so you can alternate between skin brushing and deeper tissue massage.
• You can also use a loofah or loofah mitten but these can be scratchy. A natural brush is better and wont scratch the skin
• Brush from the ankles up the leg, then your thighs, then midsection and upper body.
• Brush in the direction towards the heart in long slow strokes for 5-8 minutes every day.

2. Detox

To get rid of stubborn cellulite you really need to detoxify your body. Try the following:

• Drink 1.2 to 2 litres of water a day to help eliminate toxins from the body. If you don’t drink much at the moment, build up slowly increasing the amount daily to avoid feeling bloated or sick.
• Try a raw food diet or if you can’t face raw veggies invest in a really good juicer and start every day with a fruit or veggie juice or smoothie.
• Replace one meal a day with a tasty chocolate or greenberry Shakeology Shake. It’s low calorie, full of nutrients, low on the glycemic index and helps to eliminate toxins. It is also much easier to prepare than fiddly juicing and if you like juicing you can even add your fave juices to the shake! You can buy Shakeology here:
• Cut out smoking and alcohol as these damage the skin cells, overwork the lymph system and slow down circulation.

3. Exercise

Exercise stimulates the circulatory and lymphatic systems and helps remove toxins from the body as well as helping us lose body fat and increase muscle tone. The more toned your legs the less your cellulite will show!

Try the following exercise programs to work towards getting smoother skin on your thighs and generally more toned all over:

The 5 Biggest Pitfalls of Working from Home and How to Avoid Them Successfully

Working from home is an amazing experience. In our last blog post we discussed the numerous upsides and pleasure of working from home such as setting your own hours, being your own boss, not having to commute and determining what you earn when you earn it. These are all fantastic benefits. However as with all career choices there are also downsides.  The good news is that they are all very easy to overcome and this simple guide tells you exactly how to do that.

1.       It can be difficult to separate your work life from your home life

The comforts of working from home are numerous. However one issue can be staying focused on work and not getting get distracted by your family, the television or suddenly deciding to do all the chores you haven’t done for ages and which suddenly seem so appealing when you’re faced with the prospect of working all day.  Here are some top tips on how to avoid this pitfall.

·         If you have a spare room, set yourself up with a little office with a proper desk, your computer, a printer, a telephone and all the stationery you need.  Make sure that there is no TV in the room to tempt you into watching our favourite programmes

·         If you live with family members, tell them that whenever the door to your office is shut you are not to be disturbed

·         If you don’t have a spare room then trial and error will help you decide what works best for you. Just make sure you set aside a dedicated area in your home however small, that is your workspace and always try to work in the area. This will help your brain get into work mode whenever you sit there. Don’t however be tempted to work in bed as this can lead to you feeling like you want to sleep while you’re working and not being able to sleep at bedtime for worrying about work. Try a few different areas and then pick your favourite.

2.       You need to plan your working week to ensure you get all your work done

Another major benefit of working from home is that you can set your own hours and have time during the week, when everyone else is on the office, to do the things you enjoy such as going shopping while it’s quiet, working out, walking in the park or doing a hobby such as martial arts or a cookery course. The flip side of this is that you must be disciplined enough to make sure you prioritise your workload so you can enjoy yourself with a clear conscience.

·         It is a good idea to plan your work week in advance so you know exactly how many hours each day you are going to spend working and when and how many relaxing. This may seem a bit daunting at first but wil get easier with practice. Remember if you are an early riser you can plan to work early mornings or if you are a night owl you can sleep late and work in the evenings. It’s up to you and either or a mix of both is fine as long as you get the work done.

·       Keep a diary on the wall above your desk with all your work meetings and appointments as well as all your relaxation and leisure activities. This way you only have to glance up to see how you are managing your work life balance and also make sure you get everywhere on time! If you prefer you can use an electronic diary on your computer, but remember to check it every day!

3.       It can get lonely working from home

I love the peace and tranquility of working alone from home, but for some people it can be a bit lonely in the early stages while you are adjusting to life away from the office. If you’re not careful this can demotivate you and make you less productive. Here are some tips to keep you motivated and stop you feeling lonely.

·         Make sure you have planned at least 2 evenings out (or in) with friends, one during the week and one at the weekend. This way you know you have some company to look forward to!

·         At lunchtime call a family member or friend for a chat, catch up on personal emails or go for a walk somewhere fairly busy so that you are interacting with people for a little while every day.

·         Take advantage of your new flexible lifestyle and the fact that you can take a 2 hour lunchbreak if you wish, and enroll in a lunchtime or evening class once or twice a week. Take those Spanish lessons or that Thai cookery course or go kickboxing or horseriding or learn to play a musical instrument like you’ve been promising yourself you would for years! This is one of the major of working from home after all!

4.       It can be hard to motivate yourself to work at first.

When you work in an office the banter of your workmates and the beady eye of your boss tend to keep you motivated and ensure you get cracking in the morning and work at a steady pace all day. Some people initially find it harder to get motivated without a team of people around them. Here’s how to keep yourself pumped up and motivated at home.

·         When you wake up, don’t be tempted to lounge around in your pyjamas all day every day. Ye this is great to do once in a while if you have no meetings, but especially at the beginning when you are finding your feet, get up and shower and put on some comfortable but presentable clothes. This will invigorate you and keep you alert for work. Once you get used to working for yourself by all means have the odd day in your PJs!

·         While you are getting ready and preparing for the day put on the radio or your favourite upbeat Cd to get you in a good mood and rev you up to work.

·        Sign up to Team BeachBody Club for just $2.99 a week and workout with fabulous VIP trainers in the comfort of your own home at least 3 times a week.  It’s low cost and will keep your energy at a peak so you can work effectively all afternoon. Exercise releases endorphins that make you feel great about yourself and of course there is the added benefit of looking fantastic!

5.       Not being taken seriously by friends and family

Our friends and family love us but occasionally they think they know what is best for us and can be negative about our new ventures such as working from home in a bid to try to make us “see sense” and do things the “normal” way. People fear change and your friends and family may be fearful for you when you start your own business. Remember they are only trying to help and quietly stand your ground while reinforcing your reasons for making the change.

·         Listen to their point of view and keep in mind that while any negative feedback or joking around about your new business venture may be annoying, it could also raise some interesting issues that you hadn’t considered and can now address.

·         Take it as the perfect opportunity to reaffirm to yourself and them why you are undertaking this new business venture in the first place. Tell them all the benefits to you of working from home and also let them know that you are aware of the pitfalls and what you have done to avoid them. Use these blog posts as a base for your affirmations that you have made the right decision for you.

·         Don’t complain to all and sundry about any of the difficulties of working from home. If you need to talk to someone, pick one trusted friend or a family member who is not financially dependent on you and confide in them. Or better yet get a mentor or a life coach. Often successful business people will mentor ne entrepreneurs for free as they like to give something back to the community. Go to a couple of business networking events and get talking to an entrepreneur who is more experienced than you and ask them to mentor you once a month. Lots of us have a personal trainer or coach to motivate us and keep us focused when we workout, well the same applies to your working life! A work coach or mentor will be able to give you great advice about your new business without injecting their personal feelings. Your family will have their emotions engaged but your coach will be totally objective.

Above all always have in mind the reasons why you decided to work from home and be your own boss in the first place and make sure you actually take advantage of all the benefits so that you make this the single most brilliant experience of your life and change your life for the better forever.

The Top 10 Benefits to Being Your Own Boss and Working from Home

by BeachBody coach Loretta Phillips

So many of us are fed up with the daily grind at work, tired of being bossed around and bored of listening to the gripes of our colleagues. This is when we dare to dream about being our own boss, setting up a web based business from home and finally calling all the shots ourselves. The idea can be very enticing but at the same time fill us with fear and dread of the unknown and serious self-doubt.  In this blog post we take a look at the top 10 benefits of working from home and show you how being the boss of your own web-based business will seriously improve your entire lifestyle from your finances to your free time. I was suffering as a result of all then issues we all experience every day at work, so I became a BeachBody Coach. I'm my own boss, I choose my own work hours and I am relaxed and stress free. An now, if you follow this series of blogs about how to work effectively from home, you can be too! Read on!

1.    You are in control of your own work hours

·      Are you an early riser? Or a night owl? Either way when you work for yourself from home you call the shots and you can choose your own working hours and change them daily. This gives you endless freedom to do whatever you like with your days and nights and work around the things that are most important to you.

·      You can work part time or full time as you wish!

·      Another huge benefit is having much more time to spend with your loved ones and if you have children, being able to organise your childcare to suit you and actually attending important events such as your children's sports day.

2.    You can outsource all the menial jobs you HATE!

·      This is my absolute favourite benefit of working from home. Everyone has aspects of their job that leaves them cold, just take a minute to think of the one work task you always leave until last.

·      What is the thing that you have turned into a giant monster, that you see as an impossible task, even though you really know it’s not that hard? What tedious task fills you with dread and fear. Do you break out in a cold sweat just imagining doing your expenses? Do you dread sifting through your mail separating the essential emails from the junk?

·      Worry no more. You can keep your demons at bay by hiring an online personal assistant via a website such as Elance, to do all your mundane tasks for you. If you're first thought is that it will be costing you precious money, just ask yourself how much several hours of free time a week, less stress and total peace of mind is worth to you and realise it is a small cost for a huge benefit.

3.    No Commuting to work early in the morning or late at night

·     This is such a great benefit as it lowers your stress and saves you time, money and effort. A no brainer!

4.    You Decide How Much $$$ you Earn

·      Personal Finance is the number one contributor to stress so controlling your own income is a fantastic benefit to working for yourself from home.

·      If you offer services in return for cash then you can control your income by setting the hours you work yourself and set ting the cost of the service on a client by client basis. You can also ensure that you are offering a better service than any of your competitors so you can charge a little more to a few select high end clients or charge less and attract a wider client base.

·      If you are selling products you get to decide which ones you want to sell and ultimately concentrate on marketing the big ticket (high value) items that give you a better return and profit margin, meaning you work less hours for more money.

5.    Less Stress

·      It is a simple fact that when we feel out of control we feel more stressed.

·      When you are your own boss you are in control of every aspect of your working life and you can prioritise your workload and your work-life balance to suit you, which in turn makes you less stressed and more productive at both work and play.

6.    You are in Control of Your Own Work Environment

·      Do you get a bad back while sitting at your PC at work? Do you hate wearing a suit? Does Betty from accounts drive you nuts talking about her health problems? Are you sick of eating the same lunch from the same expensive sandwich bar every day?

·      Well, when you’re the boss and you work from home, all these workplace annoyances disappear into the ether because you get to decide what you wear (pyjamas anyone?), how your desk is set up for your own comfort, who you see throughout the day, what you eat and of course when you eat it!

·      Plus of course you can listen to your favourite music in the background all day or sit in total silence depending on your mood and also choose your lunchtime around your favourite TV program if you so desire.

7.    Your overall Health Improves!

·      Do you hate the way some jobworths come into work with the flu just to score brownie points with the boss? It may mean kudos for them but it inevitably also means a heavy dose of their flu for you!

·      Well when you work alone from home alone you never get sneezed over on the commute or by your work mates. 

·      Also by reducing your stress you boost your immune system and are less prione to illness.

·     You have more "me time" to look after yourself and you can work out from home instead of wasting money at the gym. Check out the BeachBody Club Diet and Workout Programs for all levels of fitness from beginner to mega-ripped for just $2.99 a week. Click here: http://beachbodycoach.com/esuite/home/TurboBear

8.    No Negative Influences

·      Do you ever get into work in a relatively good mood only for it to be slowly eroded by the mindless moaning of everyone else in the office? Or are you the one doing the complaining and bringing the overall atmosphere and productivity down? Be honest with yourself. EIther way you need to change the situation to make yourself happier.

·      Well when you work for yourself there is no one to moan and no one to listen which adds up to a much more positive work environment and a happier more positive, more productive you.

9.    You Can Start an Online Business with a Very Low Investment

·      There is a misconception that every business needs thousands of pounds in investment before it can start.

·      You can start an online business for less than $40 including setting up your website, hosting and marketing via social media platforms.

·      Low investment and high return means your business can be highly profitable in weeks.

10.  Earn Money $$$ While You Sleep!

·      One of the main benefits of running your own online business is putting in place various automatic

      processes and procedures that allow you to earn $$$ while you relax.

·      How often have you tried to explain to your boss that you could carry out a task much more quickly and efficiently using a different process, only to be told that the current method is the way it’s always been done and not to deviate from it? Soul destroying and downright inconvenient when you know you could do it better.

·      When you run your own online business you can set up automatic processes that are run by your computer while you spend the day with family and friends or simply catching up on your favourite TV show or getting some much needed ZZZZZs.

·      A prime example is using an auto-responder to set up marketing emails to be delivered regularly to your clients and prospects. Simple. Effective. Fast. Effortless.

As you can see the benefits far outweigh any fears you may have about running your own business from home. The sum total of all these benefits is a more relaxed, more confident, more in control, less stressed you. Don’t you owe it to yourself to try it?

Anyone can become a successful BeachBody coach whatever your career background or your own health and fitness level. You will be helping others to get fit and healthy and transform their lives with the added benefit of getting fit yourself if you want to! It is very rewarding and gives you all the benefits set out above.

Once you become a Beachbody Coach, you’ll be part of a whole network of successful Coaches who are there for you to learn from and share with. You’ll also get full access to your online office, which has everything you need to market and manage your business with ease—including your own sales website and email account, a full set of sales and marketing tools, and extensive training guides and videos. In addition, our Coach Relations team is available to answer your questions via email or over the phone. And you’ll have a Coach of your own for extra motivation and guidance.

Will I have to purchase products for resale?

Unlike marketing programs that require you to buy a lot of products in order to participate, the Coach Opportunity has no inventory requirements. If you do want to purchase products for your own use or resale, you’ll get them at a significant discount.

Will I have to handle product inventory, billing, shipping, or customer service?

No—when customers purchase products through your website, we take care of the rest.

Is it easy to set up my website?

Setting up and customizing your Beachbody Coach Website is low-tech and simple! We provide you with an easy-to-use system that allows you to add text and photos (or you can just use ours), and you can choose from a number of Beachbody marketing banners to help make sure your site is viewed.

How does Beachbody promote its products?

We spend millions of dollars every week advertising our home fitness programs on the major TV stations and cable networks. (You’ve probably seen our famous infomercials for programs such as P90X, Turbo Jam, and Hip Hop Abs, as well as our magazine and Internet ads.) Millions of people already know about Beachbody, and every time we run an infomercial, we get thousands of new customers. We want those customers to shop through your store, so you get the commission on those sales!

How much of a discount will I get on my own Beachbody products?

As Beachbody Coach, you receive a 25% discount on all Beachbody products available in the Team Beachbody store.
