Walking Your Talk

December 13, 2014 by Dave Fresilli

dave_001-You’ve heard this before, haven’t you? Walk your talk!

At first, we take this to mean that what you tell others to do you must be doing yourself. This is an important part of living a healthy and happy lifestyle.

It is also important because want to make an impact with others in everything we do. We want to set an example, and demonstrate the results of our efforts.

My mentor, Paul Chek, often says that you can only teach to your level of personal mastery

Far too often we fall prey to others who promise a wonderful path of results if you only follow their guidance. Yet, these same people fail to follow their own program, and cannot show proof of the results in their own lives.

We want to work with people who have done it themselves, and are living the life they are offering.

This makes perfect sense. We go to doctors and surgeons who are in the top of their field. We trust them because they have successfully accomplished results in their procedures.

We put our financial wellbeing in the hands of financial advisors who have proven they successfully manage their own portfolios.

What about you? Are you walking your talk? You may say, “Well I don’t have a career in which I ask people to follow my advice.” That may be true, but let’s look deeper into how you are walking your talk. Whether you realize it or not, it affects the results in your life.

The deeper awareness of walking your talk has to do with what you believe about yourself. It is these beliefs that create the results in your life.

These beliefs are your inner “talk.” They lay deep within your subconscious, and they are the auto-pilot of your life. They are also the filter through which you experience your life.

Your inner voice is always talking to you, and it directs your thoughts, feelings and actions. Because of this, you are always walking your talk in some manner, be it in a positive or a negative way.

There is a bigger question that comes to mind as you consider your inner talk. You must ask yourself if you have a belief system that is giving you what you truly desire in life.

If you are unsatisfied or unhappy with the results in your life, then the best action to take is to change the source of your inner talk.

If you ever want to know what someone’s inner talk is, all you have to do is look at their life and how they act. Everything about each person is a direct expression of that inner talk. Our lives, and how we live them, give us away.

If you want to improve your health and fitness, you must create a new vision of what it means to be healthy and fit. This will become your new and improved talk within your subconscious. Once it is fixed in your brain, you will consistently begin to think, feel, and act in accordance with your new talk. You will walk the talk of this new vision of yourself.

Do you desire greater health and wellness for your life? If you truly wish to start living your life to its fullest and healthiest, then it’s time to create a new talk and to start walking it.

This is a very exciting step, and I would love to help you with it.

Here is a complimentary webinar that will help you get started.

I wish for you all a Vibrant Life.

Your Best Holiday Season Ever!

November 14, 2014 by Dave Fresilli

Fotolia_58242432_Subscription_Monthly_MIt’s here! I’m so excited!

The holiday season is finally here. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year’s, and all of the holidays that herald a transformation into the more wintery months, have arrived. They mark a time that encourages us to enjoy precious moments with family, and to express gratitude for all the blessings that enhance our lives.

Unfortunately, it is also the season when the average American will gain ten to fifteen pounds of extra body fat! Hey, it’s a season of joy, but sometimes it can also usher in a season of over-indulgence.

Not to worry. We have a strategy to combat those extra pounds.

Let us first ask ourselves, why do these extra pounds seem to creep up on us during a time that is supposed to usher in feelings of joy and celebration? Perhaps it is because we use the holiday season as an excuse to eat recklessly, drink with abandon, and procrastinate in our exercise because we want to engage in other holiday activities.

Hey, Christmas tree shopping should be considered an exercise…right? Well, maybe so, but not if it’s followed up with too much egg nog and sweet treats. Have you ever envisioned a romp through the woods, looking for that perfect tree, and ending your adventure with a feast of fresh veggies and organic turkey followed by a warm cup of herbal tea? It’s all about healthy alternatives folks. And those alternatives can be tasty and fun!

What really happens for most of us during the holiday season is that we give up on the goal of creating a fit and strong body, and allow ourselves to fall back into our old ways of self-sabotage.

May I offer you a happy compromise that allows you to embrace the holiday season, without suffering from the backlash of over-indulgence?

Why not make this holiday season a breakthrough event that lets you achieve your health and fitness goals? Fill yourself with the confidence and excitement that allows you to maintain your best body and health throughout the winter months!

How do you do this? You must, must, must, decide right now that you will do whatever it takes to create optimum health, because it is that important to you and only you. Make it your personal mission!

I am sure there have been at least a few times in your life when you have said, “I don’t care about the naysayers. I am going to do something for myself that will make me look healthy and feel happy!”

I want you to build that desire deep within you and let it become your center, your compass, and your direction toward health and fitness.

This desire that burns within will steer you away from the temptation to skip your workouts, or partake in treats and to over indulge.

When the New Year arrives, and everyone else is complaining about the weight they put on, or how out of shape they are, you will be joyfully filled with pride in yourself for becoming so much more than you ever imagined!

Your friends and family might ask you how you managed to become such a healthy person during the holidays. They will ask how you were able to resist all the temptations of excessive food and treats. You will recognize their questions as what you asked yourself last year, when you dared to explore how you may achieve your dream body and ultimate health.

This holiday season is your time to break free and to create a new self-image of someone who goes after their dreams and doesn’t look back.

Be bold. Be brave. Become the amazing person you are meant to be.

I would love to help you on this journey. If you want help, you only need to ask.

I am here, and ready to be your coach, and to give you all that you need to obtain the body and life you so deserve.

Here is a link offering a complimentary webinar that offers just a sample of what you can look forward to with me in your corner.

Let’s spend the holidays together.

I wish for all of you, Vibrant Health!

Can You Laugh At Yourself?

October 24, 2014 by Dave Fresilli

Fotolia_55328154_Subscription_XXLHealth and fitness-related issues can often come across as serious topics. It takes a committed decision to step up, and to create a lifestyle that is the catalyst toward major changes.

Part of that lifestyle change is the decision to take responsibility for your own health. Part of this is doing your utmost to follow through with your health and fitness goals.

We all have a tendency to buckle in to those feelings of self-criticism when we fall short of following through with our fitness goals. We beat ourselves up for not trying harder. We wish that we were stronger in resisting those temptations to consume those foods that end up damaging our bodies. We think less of ourselves, and this can stir up old patterns of self-doubt and unworthiness. It is during these moments that we need to remain positive, and focus on our goals.

This is a time when we should learn to laugh at the challenges we face on a daily basis! When we see ourselves in a humorous light, we diffuse the power of self-defeating thoughts and feelings that can cripple our ability to grow and advance as healthy, happy human beings.

Allow me to offer one example of how laughing at a situation helped to conquer my food cravings, while turning the whole process into a game.

There are many times when I’m shopping for food and suddenly think, “Man, I would love some ice cream with a piece of pie!” My favorite is pumpkin pie…but everybody has their own button. It is during these moments that I do everything I can to not think about my cravings. I must admit, those cravings can be too hard to resist!

As a way of overcoming this situation, I make sure to have my shopping basket filled with the foods I truly need. I stay away from the aisles that carry poor quality foods that I know I should avoid.

If my cravings are especially intense, I make a game out of my shopping experience. I take this opportunity to boldly stand in front of the ice cream case. I focus on it all and think, ‘if I were to have this sweet treat tonight, what would be the best treat to select?’ I read the labels of every yummy morsel, and I then find the one that calls to me, and put it in my basket. This makes it easier to finish my shopping. Yet, all the while I feel as if I have my favorite, treat waiting for me. By the time I’m ready to check out, I have overcome my desire for the treat, and I have put the ice cream and pie back on the shelf.

Instead of becoming frustrated, and falling into a place of self- judgment, I find a way to laugh at myself, at my old programing, and make a game out of it all!

There are times when we goof up, and allow our old way of thinking to get the better of us. When this happens, learn to laugh at yourself. Get on with creating the life you truly desire. Don’t fall into the trap of self-judgment and unworthiness.

The more you can laugh at your old programing foibles, the faster you will create the health and wellness you desire.

Would you like to understand how these old programs sabotage all your efforts to create the health and fitness you desire?

Here is a complimentary webinar to get you started.

I would love to help you on your journey of health and wellness.

I wish for all of you, Vibrant Health!  Dave
