Feel Fantastic 95% Of The Time It Is Possible Even For A Senior
by Carla on August 17, 2010
How do you feel most of the time, tired, depressed or full of vibrant good health?
By using alternative health choices to maintain our well being it is possible even for seniors to have vibrant good health.
It's not very often that I dwell on making alternative health choices or vitamins. But, today the subject kept popping up until finally it smacked me right in the face.
You see, I feel fantastic about 95% of the time. I don't get sick.
Not having to think about how I feel or deciding what vitamin should I take allows me to simply enjoy feeling awesome. Having plenty of energy to keep going all day and into the night is awesome.
My life saved by a friend with alternative health choices…
A dear friend of mine sent an email to me the other day with a link to a YouTube video in it.
It got past me. In cleaning up my In-box today, I found it.
Finished up a class just two days ago on how to "build my list" with Sandi Krakowski. She encouraged us to stay on task. Have laser focused vision, don’t allow distractions, she wisely advised.
But … why not, it’s time for a break! I stopped.
Closing my many windows, I clicked on the link. What an amazing vacation from reality!
I laughed so hard that I pee’d my pants! (Oh man, I can’t believe I told you that, “red-face” and all) Holy cow!
Then it hit me…
this is why we need alternative health choices to take care of ourselves.
Now, all laughing aside, this video is sending us a powerful message.
Did you notice there was a “super fix” for almost every part of our body?
For our bulging tummies and our indigestion, oh Mylanta! For lack of memory there were some sort of senior memory pills. Can't remember what they were!
Hubby’s sex life (if he still has one and knows what to do with it), has been remedied by Viagra. Then the heart attack follows from too much excitement for too long.
Now girls believe it or not this applies to us, too. At our age who still has that “blushing”, “Come here stud”…in our vocabulary or enough hormones left to want to anymore?
Then there are our ovaries and bladders! I mean come on…I just pee’d my pants while laughing my butt off! What is that all about?
Do you still have your hair or is it thinning and falling out?
Your fingernails should be strong not breaking and splitting. Your skin shouldn't sag or be leathery. Rather it should be soft as a baby's butt and taught.
Can you run after your kids, grand-kids or puppy like you used to?
When you stand up after sitting awhile your knees shouldn't creak. They should be well oiled like when you were young.
Your teeth should be snug as a bug in a rug in your gums. Maybe you don't even have your own teeth anymore.
I've had a couple of surgeries. My gall bladder is gone and I've had an anterior cervical fusion. What about you, still got them or are they history?
Then we need to remember our math! Let's watch our cholesterol, high blood pressure…let's make sure we have our daily constitutional thingy working properly!
Stop the madness! I know, getting older is scary!
Lots to think about. Is it too much to think about?
Which part of the video got you laughing or relating to it's point?
Now, I remember when…
You know I haven’t thought about those things in a very long while.
That little video could have been a look at me in the years to come though! Even at my young age, 13 1/2 years ago, back then I was falling apart. Not just one part of me either, the whole ball of wax was melting into the sunset!
Then my best friend at the time shared her secret with me, the secret to alternative health and nutrition.
Being so thankful for my friend's help, I can sit back and be entertained by this rendition of “Are You Lonely Tonight” with a smile on my face and laughter on my lips.
So, if you’ve ever wondered why you need to pay attention to your body. Eat better foods, make better choices…this is why.
You get to choose…vibrant good health or be the star of a senior video!
"Great to see you so happy, Carla! My hubby, Mark and I were talking about this today. We are also doing a cleanse this month -- based on another of our friend's recommendations, Dr. Peggy. :)
So much of success on ANY diet is mindset. I am already noticing a difference in how I *think* about food. I am loving how things like cucumbers and bright yellow peppers taste. He mentioned that the organic cucumber was expensive, but I pointed out that it wasn't so bad because we are actually EATING it! LOL What is expensive, however, is the bag of uneaten "regular" cucumbers that I used to routinely throw away. As if bringing them home from the store somehow made me healthy...." Tara Geissinger, FL
"Very well put. I've been with a health and nutrition company for over 26 years and I understand exactly what you are going through. I shiver to think what my health might be today at age 68 had I not stuck to my guns as far as practicing what I preach. Yes, I fall off the wagon regularly but my daily routine life reflects taking care of my health. That way I can keep up (somewhat) with my 7 grandchildren. You keep it up, Carla'. Pat Moon
"For most people the thought of venturing out there in pursuit of your dreams, in a place outside of your comfort zones is just what stops them. But I could sense your excitement not resentment in going against the competition. In planting your stake and truly making a difference in the clients experience. That's ultimately what matters, the rest just falls so easily into place. Thanks for that reminder"! ENO Nsima-Obot MD Life
"Love this article and "be willing to change" hit a cord. How many people rather stay comfortable, be bored, not make a lot of money and just be plain perhaps stuck. I know of a person as I am writing this. I was that stuck person but no longer. This other person is still stuck and doesn't even realize it. So be willing to change on my end is a big YES. Thanks Carla". Carol Giambri
"What a great encouraging article! I especially liked the reminder that there are varying seasons in our lives and in the lives of our businesses! Thanks for these great words Carla"! Jen
"Carla, you are a model for me to follow. I love your site. And, I like what you have to say - very kind, very gracious. I have to say though that nothing in my life has ever been crystal clear". Susan Daniels
"Thank you for sharing this article Carla! Showing gratitude and being gracious is extremely important in the process of showing clients that we appreciate their business and differentiating ourselves...sometimes it is as simple as 'please' and 'thank you' ...great article"!!! Hughie Bagnell
"If anyone can follow a dream that leads them down a different path, it's you! I always love reading what you have to share" :) Amity Hook-Sopko
"Great article Carla, it may not be all we want it to be right away but just knowing where our passion lies is half the battle...and that makes it all worthwhile"! Denny Hagel
