Creating Happiness Through Health

June 16, 2014 by Dave Fresilli

DF1Imagine what it would feel like to live a life of happiness, health, and well-being. Can you do that? Can you close your eyes and let yourself go to a time and place where you feel amazing vitality, strength, and a true sense of peace and happiness?

This is where it all starts. Right from where you are. No matter what is going on in your lives. Right here, right now, is the time to start the process of creating health and happiness for tomorrow.

What do you have in your life that you can be thankful for right now? There is so much you can’t even imagine. You just have to recognize it and stop rejecting it. Being present in this moment for what you do have will begin to bring more experiences into your life to be thankful for.

Yes, I am talking about gratitude. Since our time together is focused on health, fitness, and wellness, I will speak in those terms.

Maybe you don’t have the energy, body shape, health, or sense of well-being you are desiring; however, you still have plenty to be grateful for. See what you do have to work with as a gift, and take and mold yourself into someone spectacular.

Can you walk? Can you move your body? Are you able to put food on the table that is nutritious? Can you schedule time for exercise, meditation, and family? Do you have someone who will support and encourage you? (Yes you do; I am just a phone call away!)

Part of creating happiness in your life is creating health and fitness in your body.

When your body is strong and filled with vitality, you feel so much more confident and self empowered. You have the energy to step beyond the day’s normal activities and start following your passions.

When your body is healthy and strong, you are capable of so much more, and your spirit guides your thoughts into the expression of your full potential.

It is so true: “When you have your health, you have everything. When you do not have your health, nothing else matters at all.” Augusten, Burroughs

I have personally worked with many very successful people who were in such a state of pain and physical dysfunction that they could not see clear to feel happy or grateful for all that they had. Their lack of health pulled them down into fear and despair. Yet as we worked together, and as they began to create health and wellness, their enthusiasm for life returned, and they realized how precious health is to happiness.

Happiness comes out of a healthy spirit, mind, and body. We must give ourselves the spiritual, mental/emotional, and physical nutrition needed so we can radiate happiness from every cell in our body.

Spiritually, we must recognize we are the universal consciousness, or God, and we are here to live a life of abundance, happiness, and health. Then we need to claim this for ourselves by believing it and knowing we are capable of anything we can imagine.

Mentally/emotionally, we must focus our attention on knowing and feeling ourselves as that which we desire to be. When our thoughts and emotions drift towards the negative, we should recognize this and refocus our attention on our desires.

Physically, we must give our bodies abundant deep breathing, plenty of clean water, nutritious foods, the right amount of exercise, and plenty of sleep.

Happiness comes with a simple recipe: Love yourself enough to give your spirit, mind, and body what it needs in order to be healthy and to flourish.

By doing so, you will live a life that most will only dream of.

You deserve this, you know? You deserve to be happy, healthy, and well. No one outside of yourself can give this to you. You not only hold the key, but you are the key.

Unlock your potential of happiness, health, and wellness by starting today.

I am here to help you on this journey.

I wish for you Vibrant Health!

The Best Way Is The Integrated Way

June 13, 2014 by Dave Fresilli

Fotolia_38572203_Subscription_Monthly_M-1What does it take to achieve the health and fitness you desire? Does it take proper nutrition? How about exercising? Should we be looking at our lifestyle factors? Finally do we need to consider our overall belief system?

In a word Yes!

As a holistic health practitioner all of the above are taken into consideration when working with a client to improve their health and fitness.

Many folks make the common mistake of thinking that eating better or exercising is the fastest or only way to getting healthy and fit. However there is so much more to our health and fitness than this.

First off it is important to realize that just because someone is fit doesn’t mean they are healthy. There are plenty of fit people out there with chronic health issues.

As I have mentioned before, health and fitness is a lifestyle. For health and fitness to be a lifestyle it means integrating all factors for creating a healthy spirit, mind, and body into your daily life.

An integrated approach will create a deeper connection with your spirit, a true awareness to condition your mind and create the life you desire, and conditioning your body to radiate vibrant energy and wellness.

Is it hard to integrate these steps into your life? No actually it is not. It really comes down to you choosing to create this new life of health and wellness.

Now, it will be different from the way you have been conducting your life, but well worth the effort. We are meant to be healthy. Our bodies are designed to be healthy!

They have the innate ability to heal. We just have to get out of our own way and stop sabotaging the body’s efforts.

So I have a question for you. Is what you are doing working for you? Are you creating the health and fitness you have always desired? Do you have vibrant energy? Do you have the body you desire?

The most challenging situation to be in is feeling stuck and not knowing what to do or where to turn for help.

Creating health and fitness does not have to be hard. I know they certainly seem to make it look hard when you see thousands of diet and exercise books all claiming to be the best.

Once you know the 6 foundational principles to health and wellness all the rest falls into place.

I have spoken of them many times and will continue to do so. They are your Thoughts, Breath, Hydration, Nutrition, Exercise, and Sleep.

Each one is a key component to giving the body what it needs to heal and grow.

I have videos on Facebook and our website that will give you plenty of details on each,

If you really want to learn fast, I have just started an online course this week that you can still get into. You can do it at your own pace, and I am here to answer all of your questions via Skype or email.

It All Starts With You

May 23, 2014 by Dave Fresilli

Fotolia_43823620_Subscription_Monthly_MMake the committed decision to embrace your full potential and change your karma. Those are three big steps that support each other so you can become the person you have always dreamed of.

All this time you have had the power to create the health and fitness you have always desired. Yet this power has been misdirected because you were not aware of your potential and how to use it.

Making a committed decision is the first place to start in any journey. It is the committed decision to create health and fitness in your life even when times get challenging. A committed decision holds you firm and gives you strength and persistence. There can be no more excuses once a committed decision has been made.

Once you have made the committed decision to create health and fitness in you life it is time that you wake up and embrace your full potential to be amazing.

Most of us never even scratch the surface of what we are capable of. We all have an incredible depth of potential just waiting to be discovered.

The most certain way of discovering your potential is putting yourself in a position where you have to succeed. That is where your committed decision comes in to play.

Once you have made a committed decision there is no turning back, and so your mind will begin to access the depths of your higher-self to discover what has been latent till now.

Your potential is always there waiting to be called upon. The point is very seldom do we ever put ourselves in a position in which it needs to be called upon.

Living at your full potential means growth under demanding circumstances. It is only during times of demanding circumstances that we learn to access a deeper level of creativity.

To get there you must be willing to make the committed decision and see it through. Which means you have to stop believing you can’t and start believing you can, no matter how demanding the circumstances. You must dig deep, let go of fear, and live big. No one else can do it for you.

Once you begin to do this you will begin to change your karma.

Karma isn’t something set that can’t be changed. Karma is cause and effect.

If you have been living a life you don’t like, it is because subconsciously it is who you believe yourself to be. You can change your karma by changing who you believe yourself to be.

Make the committed decision to embrace your full potential and decide who it is you want to be, and then begin to believe yourself to be just that.

If you have been dealing with health issues, or wanting to lose weight, or get stronger, then you must begin to see yourself as healthy, lean, stronger person.

Let go of the past, and start creating your future. Do more to be more as they say.

Most importantly take responsibility for your health and fitness, and make the committed decision to create the life you desire.

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

I wish for all of you Vibrant Health!

Risking Your Health and Wellness

May 9, 2014 by Dave Fresilli

fotolia_293572_Subscription_L

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. – Michelangelo

This quote by Michelangelo gets right to the root of why most folks never accomplish what they dream of creating in their health and wellness and their life.

We are afraid to risk, and so our aim in life is to just get by. We allow our fear of taking risk to stop us from trying to make a better life.

When we think of risk it is usually in the form of taking some action and the possibilities of not succeeding.

For you to achieve your desires you must take risk. Risk allows for growth. For growth to happen there will always be resistance in the process.

A person who never risks and plays it safe is actually holding themselves back from being more, having more, and experiencing more.

Think of starting a business, or buying a house or investing money, or starting / ending a relationship or starting a health and fitness program to get healthy. Each comes with the risk of not succeeding and the possibility of ending up right back where you started.

When we think deeply on the subject of risk we can take each one of those negative possibilities of loss and ask what is at risk if we do not take the actions to be successful in those endeavors. What are we risking then?

That is in my opinion is the way to look at a situation. It is the possibilities of what you will never create if you do not risk.

There are two sides to every coin. In fact my mentor Paul Chek says there are three sides, the positive, the negative and the edge of the coin, which states the potential to create the positive.

You should never be afraid of risk. Risk doesn’t mean to haphazardly jump into something, but instead using a calculated thought out process. You should get excited in knowing that if there is risk there is also gain. We should always and only focus on the gain.

In my view there is little to no risk in beginning a health and wellness lifestyle. When done sensibly you can only improve your state of health and wellness. The real risk comes if you don’t give yourself the gift of health and wellness. By doing nothing you will progressively move towards dysfunction illness and disease.

When thinking about creating health and wellness we should also apply these questions.

  • What are you risking by not taking care of your health and wellness?
  • What are you risking by creating a healthy lifestyle.

You’ll see by your answers that the risks of not taking care of your health and wellness is far greater than risks of creating a healthy lifestyle.

I would love to help you create happiness, health and wellness in your life.

I wish for you a vibrant life!  David E. Fresilli
