How to Teach Yourself to Stop Hating Exercise

by

Do you like to exercise? If so, you know that reaching this stage of enjoyment didn’t come naturally. After all, exercise requires extra will and effort – two things that 99 percent of us are short on. (Since work pretty much takes all the will and effort we can muster!)

The good news is, if you stick with it long enough, exercise hooks you. In fact, after the habit is established, we become pretty miserable if we don’t get our workout in. That’s because working out literally changes the neural pathways of the brain, resulting in a body that craves feel-good hormones released during exercise.

So, how do you teach yourself to like exercise?

“Fitness is my release from the stress of school and everyday life. If I am frustrated, angry, or just under a lot of pressure, working out helps calm my nerves. It gives me an outlet for all my emotions and makes me generally happier. It also gives me confidence…but also after I survive a really tough workout, I feel like I can accomplish any task put in front of me.” – ‘Jessie E.’, Portola Valley, California

1. Do something that you enjoy.

One of the most frustrating things that some fitness “experts” say is that you need to do specific exercises to stay in shape. This isn’t even remotely  accurate. Now, if you have the goal of, say, adding 10 pounds of muscle, a strict weight training regimen is in order. Likewise, if you want to run a 10-kilometer marathon, it’s a good idea to run according to a set schedule.

But if you merely want a lean and healthy body, playing a sport or finding an exercise routine that you enjoy is totally fine. Play basketball, go mountain biking, walk your dog, hike a trail, take tennis lessons. In short, staying active doesn’t require a gym membership or a personal trainer.

2. Look at the benefits

Even moderate physical activity provides a ton of health benefits. Physically, exercise improves muscle strength and boosts endurance. Regular exercise also increases blood circulation, delivering much-needed nutrients to your organs and strengthening every primary organ – especially the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

Mentally, there is no better stress-buster than exercise. Working out enhances cerebral blood flow, improves memory, strengthens focus and concentration, and accelerates learning. Moderate exercise also provides us with a steady stream of “feel-good energy” to get us through the day.

3. Find the right environment

If you want to enjoy exercise, it is crucial to find the right workout environment for you. Some people swear by the gym; some love to get out into nature; others really don’t care about the environment as long as they break a sweat. Some people like working out alone. Others want an exercise buddy. You get the picture.

Also, don’t underestimate the importance of finding a comfortable place. Working out in the right environment for you will make exercise that much more enjoyable.

4. Listen to music

If you see a person exercising, there’s a good chance you’ll spot them wearing earplugs. It turns out that there’s a good reason: listening to music while working out is like gifting your brain with a double dose of dopamine.

Brain research shows that music affects your mood by stimulating the formation of brain chemicals in the pleasure-reward system (PRS). The PRS provides those butt-kicking feelings of drive and motivation we need to get through a tough workout.

 

5. Challenge yourself…but not too much

Some people start off way too fast, and then get discouraged when they can’t keep up with themselves. A few others start off way too slow, meandering around the gym without doing anything strenuous and then going home.

Begin at a pace that is challenging but doable. To the meanderers, you do know you’re paying for that membership, right? At least get on the treadmill and walk or something!

6. Stick with it

While we’ve given you some tips on how to learn to enjoy exercise, they won’t help unless you apply a bit of self-discipline. Even doing something you enjoy can be hard when you’re lying in a comfy bed within arm’s reach of the snooze button!

Keep it up, and before you know it, you won’t need an alarm clock. Your body will be up before your alarm – just aching to get your workout on!

5 Foods to Avoid That Are Toxic for Your Liver

by

Your liver is the unsung hero of your digestive system. Once your stomach and intestines have done the job of crushing your food into mulch, the nutrients from that food are sucked out and sent to the liver for filtering. As a result, any food you consume impacts your this organ, so it’s important to make sure you aren’t overloading this organ with foods that can damage it. Foods that are high in fat or toxins can cause problems.

Here Are 5 Foods That Are Toxic for Your Liver

“Your liver is your vital detoxification organ, and if it becomes overloaded with toxins from the food, drink, or medications you’re consuming, you’ll have more toxins circulating throughout your body, damaging your organs and glands…” – Suzanne Somers

1. Alcohol

One of the best-known facts about the organ is that drinking too much can cause it to shut down. But why is that? The main reason is that alcohol can cause a buildup of a toxic enzyme called acetaldehyde. With just one or two drinks in your system, the liver is able to flush out that enzyme and it doesn’t cause many problems. But with binge drinking or heavy consumption of alcohol, it can become overloaded. This may result in alcohol poisoning. Try to stick to a few drinks, and keep hydrated with water, to prevent your liver from being flooded with this enzyme.

A result of long-term drinking can be fatty buildup and inflammation of the liver. Excessive drinking can damage the liver with toxins and, as a result, it cannot filter out fats. The alcoholic fatty liver is the first stage of alcohol-related diseases, but it is reversible. Cutting down on drinking and eating organ-healthy foods can help.

2. Fried Foods

In addition to alcoholic fatty liver, there is nonalcoholic fatty liver. This problem is common. Though the liver’s main function is to break down nutrients, when it becomes overloaded with fats, it can’t keep up. Fried foods and other high-fat foods can cause nonalcoholic fatty liver, so it’s best to avoid them for the most part. The extra fat can cause swelling and scarring, thus permanently damaging the organ’s ability to filter nutrients. As an alternative to frying food, consider sautéing your foods in healthy fats (such as coconut oil) or broiling them in the oven to get them good and crispy.

3. High-Fructose Foods

Other causes of non-alcoholic fatty liver include a high carbohydrate load. Sugar triggers a process in the body called lipogenesis, which produces extra fat. In today’s market, the most common carbohydrate is fructose, which often comes in the form of high-fructose corn syrup. Though it can be daunting to try and reduce sugar intake, stay positive and do your best to start cutting down on unnatural sugars.

4. High Salt Content

Anything in excess can cause damage, and that includes salt. Though salt is known for increasing blood pressure, it can harm other parts of your body.  New studies have shown that having too much salt in your diet can cause damage and scarring to your liver. Luckily, antioxidants like vitamin C can help to decrease that damage. You should avoid foods high in sodium, as well as try adding new foods to your diet. Try eating foods high in vitamin C, such as strawberries, kale, and bell peppers.

5. Red Meat

Red meat can deal a double whammy of difficult nutrients for the body to metabolize. It is also high in iron, which the body has no way to dispose of. If your diet is too high in iron, it can start to build up and damage your liver. Red meats are also saturated in fat, therefore a diet with too much red meat can cause fatty buildup.stop eating meat

Occasional meals with red meat aren’t a big concern, but you shouldn’t be eating beef for dinner every night. Consider altering red meat recipes to have different proteins such as chicken, fish, or eggs. If you’re really craving a red meat, try a leaner cut like round roast or top sirloin.

Final thoughts

Liver damage is a daunting problem, and it can lead to major consequences including cirrhosis and other disease. Cutting down on liver-damaging foods is important. Even though changing your diet can be a big adjustment, it’s necessary evil if you hope to protect one of the most crucial organs in your body.

10 Toxic Thoughts People Have (That They Don’t Realize)

by

Our brains are wired for negative thoughts.

Here’s Amit Sood, M.D., author of The Mayo Clinic Handbook for Happiness: A 4-Step Plan For Resilient Living:

When it’s bored, the brain sulks in its default mode. Its attention wanders, thinking about something other than what you’re currently doing or wanting to think about. A wandering mind costs you nothing, but it’s very expensive. It causes stress, depression and anxiety, and takes away happiness.

Negativity bias … refers to the notion that, even when of equal intensity, things of a more negative nature (e.g. unpleasant thoughts, emotions, or social interactions; harmful/traumatic events) have a greater effect on one’s psychological state and processes than neutral or positive things. – Wikipedia

Your brain spends more than fifty percent of its time in toxic thoughts “default” mode.

negative thinkingOur mind’s operations are dominated by stimuli produced by the lower (“reptilian”) brain, what Dr. Sood refers to as the “default” mode. Our default mode produces neutral or negative thoughts and is often experienced as mind wandering. Consequently, we tend not to be happy when we spend too much time in default mode.

Unfortunately, we spend more time in default mode than in focused mode, something that is evident by the amount of mind-wandering we engage in.

Default Mode = Toxic Thoughts.

Have you ever noticed the amount of garbage that your brain produces when left to its own devices? The Japanese call this “monkey mind,” as our brain hops from one useless thought to the next without inhibition, similar to how a monkey hops around without thinking about where it’s going!

Of course, such “mind hopping” invites toxic thoughts to take hold. This is due to our brain’s innate negativity bias. That is, our mind has a tendency to pay more attention to things that are negative than positive or neutral topics.

Recognizing Toxic Thoughts

In this article, we’re going to talk about ten toxic thoughts and thought patterns that are common to many. It’s essential to notice when our thoughts turn toxic, as this enables us to switch to a more positive way of thinking.

First, here are ten toxic thoughts that many people have and don’t recognize:

1. “I’m a loser.”

Feeling unworthy impairs our ability to function, period. Destructive and self-limiting beliefs about one’s self can develop anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts. Constructing a healthy mindset involves challenging this limiting belief.positive quote

2. “Someone else will take care of me.”

A sense of entitlement is a poisonous and dangerous state of mind. Poisonous because it will ruin our relationships, self-confidence, and self-worth. Dangerous because it sets us up for an existence where we depend on someone else for everything – and remain vulnerable to their whims.

3. “I’m always right.”

People who insist on being right all of the time risk living a life of stagnation. Without a willingness to admit when we don’t know something, it’s impossible for us to make mental and spiritual progress.

4. “I’ll do it tomorrow.”

Will you really do it tomorrow? Or will tomorrow become next week, next month, or never? Whatever you decide, know this: procrastination is the number one cause of dissatisfaction. Also, procrastination produces unnecessary stress and anxiety. Taking action, even if it’s just a small step, can quickly render these negative feelings mute.

5. “I’ll be happy when…”

“I get that new job,” “I have a million bucks,” “My house is paid for,” “College is finally over.”

No, no, no, and no. Multiple studies have shown that happiness is not dependent upon on income, education, or career. Studies have also shown this to be true: happiness is a life spent working on our life’s purpose and the ability to enjoy the present moment.

6. “It’s their fault.”

As you might have come to realize already, adults are not immune to immature thinking. Failing to take responsibility and blaming someone else for our problems can lead to a life of dissatisfaction. Own up to your choices in life and refuse to entertain self-made excuses.

7. “I can’t screw up.”

Mistakes are part of being human. This may sound cliché and overhyped, but expecting perfection will breed disappointment. Worse, fear of making mistakes manifests in procrastination, low self-esteem, and overthinking. Take action and let the chips fall where they may!

8. “It’s so unfair.”

Let’s not kid ourselves: life can plain suck at times. While this may tempt us to ruminate on the unfairness of life, to do so would only compound whatever crapfest is being thrown in our honor. Instead, face whatever it is head-on and try to make the best of things!

9. “I don’t want to put in the effort.”

In the 1920s, the socialist Soviet Union (now Russia) hung posters that read, “He who does not work, neither shall he eat.” People had to take whatever work they could for the mere hope of being able to feed their children. We all get lazy from time to time, But when we look at it rationally (in this case, historically!), we have no excuse for living a lazy life.

10. “I’ll try.”

Do you mean “I’ll do my best?” If so, good for you. The problem is when the words “I’ll try” project a self-defeating attitude that inspires no one. Whether or not we realize it, self-talk impacts our daily life – so pay attention to what your unconscious mind is telling you!

The “Focused Mode” of Thoughts

Fortunately, our secondary way of thinking – the “focused” mode – can forcefully repel toxic thinking. Here’s Dr. Mood once again:

“You are in focused mode when you’re paying attention to something interesting and meaningful, often in the external world … Intentionally choosing productive, purposeful thoughts also engages your focused mode.”

In short: where we direct our attention largely determines the emotions we experience. When we allow the mind to fixate on negative thoughts and sensations, such as those mentioned above, we will experience negative emotions. When we focus on something stimulating and meaningful or produce good thoughts, we feel good as a result!

thoughtsFinal Thoughts on the Importance of Banishing Toxic Thoughts

Sharpening your attention is one of the most beneficial things you can do with your time. One book incredible book on the topic is Focus by Daniel Goleman. The book is written with a casual, empathetic, yet instructional tone.

It is worth mentioning that every area of our life can be improved with enhanced focus and concentration. You will notice these benefits as your attention sharpens:

  • More quality time with family and friends
  • Better sleep
  • An Increased sense of purpose
  • Stronger drive
  • Fewer mood swings
  • Strengthened relationships at work
  • More opportunities

To end this article, here is an excellent quote by the late Steve Jobs:

“That’s been one of my mantras – focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”

5 Behaviors of a “Know-It-All”

by

People who think they have all the answers, who consider themselves infallible, are commonly known as a know-it-all. While this might sound like a playground insult, it’s a real phenomenon among people who lack the self-awareness to recognize their shortcomings. If you think you’re dealing with a know-it-all, you probably are.

Know-it-alls manifest several basic traits and behaviors because they think they have all the necessary knowledge. They usually expose themselves as a know-it-all by making it obvious through their behaviors and actions. Here are the best ways to spot a know-it-all.

Here Are 5 Behaviors a “Know-It-All” Will Display

know-it-all

1. Argumentative

If someone constantly tries to argue, there’s a high chance that this person is a know-it-all. To the know-it-all, everything is up for debate. And in every debate, they are always playing to win. They always want to ensure that their opinion is the last one heard on every subject, even going so far as to insert their opinion when and where it isn’t warranted or asked for. They’re constantly looking for their next argument or point to prove. Know-it-alls can expertly conjure a debate out of thin air and rope the people around them into arguing with them.

2. Condescending

Usually, a know-it-all is so sure of their knowledge that they tend to be condescending to the people around them. After all, they perceive everyone else as lacking in knowledge. When engaging in a conversation with a know-it-all, you are likely to feel like you’re being talked down to. Their tone of voice is often pitying, as if they can’t believe they’re lowering themselves to talk to someone without the same wealth of knowledge they have. Don’t let this discourage you – after all, they’re not as smart as they want to believe.

3. “Well, actually…”

Have you ever been having a conversation, and someone interjects to correct something you’ve said? “Well, actually…” is a favorite phrase of a know-it-all. It doesn’t matter what was said, or how little the detail. A know-it-all derives joy from being seen as the most educated, well-rounded, and intelligent. A know-it-all will take every opportunity they can to correct someone on even the slightest indiscretion. Even if you’re telling a personal story of something that happened to you, the know-it-all will interject with, “Well, actually…” and then try to correct you on your own, lived experiences.

4. Shifting the goalposts

According to Pamela B. Paresky Ph.D., these types of people often have something closer to the “illusion of knowledge.” They aren’t aware that they don’t know something, making them think they know … well … everything. So, when caught in being wrong, a know-it-all will often shift the goalposts of their argument. Shifting goalposts, or moving the goalposts, is a logical fallacy in arguments. It describes the changing of the “goal” of competition (in this case, the argument) while it is still ongoing. For example, if they use a word incorrectly, they might say they were using the colloquial definition – even if they weren’t.

5. Inflated Ego

Of course, since a know-it-all is walking around with the illusion of knowledge, they have no idea about all the things they don’t really know. Thinking they know everything gives them an inflated sense of self-importance. Their ego is huge. This quickly grows obvious when you start talking to them. A know-it-all may spend the majority of the time talking about himself (or herself) and personal accomplishments. When the conversation shifts to someone else, a know-it-all will always find a way to relate the conversation to self. You might notice them get pretty upset when someone else is the center of attention.

life quote

Final Thoughts on Identifying and Dealing With a Know-It-All

Dealing with someone who thinks they know everything can be particularly frustrating. However, knowing their behaviors will make it easier for you to avoid getting caught in a no-win debate with a know-it-all. Also, being aware of a know-it-all’s tendencies can make it easier to ensure you’re not displaying those same behaviors. Self-awareness is incredibly important, and sometimes it takes a little self-reflection to make sure we don’t act like a know-it-all. Remain aware of all the things you don’t know, and you’ll be fine. After all, learning something new is much better than pretending to know it already.

10 Phrases that Keep Children from Feeling Left Out

by

Feeling that we are accepted, loved, and a part of something is important for each of us. Feeling left out can be tough on anyone, but especially a kid.

Here are ten things to say that can keep your child from feeling left out:

“I am here to listen.”

All of us would love to have those magic words that solve a child’s social problems. Unfortunately, no such words exist. (And trying to force a conversation when they aren’t ready is a weak approach.) Young people who go through tough times often complain that their parents and other caretakers are quick to advise but not to listen. When we fail to put the latter into practice, we can’t expect them to learn from the former. Listen first.

“A lot of kids would love to be your friend.”

When a child is emotionally hurt, they tend to ruminate on who or what it is that hurt them. In the context of peer relationships, losing a friendship may be interpreted as devastating. This phrase is all about helping your kid believe in their own ability to create a diverse network of supporting peers – whether it’s through a club, team, group, etc.

“Let’s talk a bit about friendship…”

Make no mistake that those moments when your child is feeling left out – though it may be heart-wrenching – make for an excellent teaching moment. This doesn’t mean lecturing your child until he nods off; it means teaching your child about real friendship, and how disregarding or ignoring a friend is not part of it.

“Let’s go somewhere – just you and me.”

Sure, some of her peers may be giving her a hard time, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t want to spend time with you. Anyone reading this who has been bullied or neglected as a child will say the same thing: being somewhere with someone, doing something, is a great antidote to loneliness.

“Being alone doesn’t have to be lonely.”

Kids love to play (and sometimes it seems they live to play). For better or worse, kids tend to think that play should mostly involve other kids. After all, that’s what “all the other kids are doing.” For this reason, suggesting they engage in something interesting on their own may not be taken seriously – at least right away. But when a kid is going through a tough stretch or feeling left out, reminding them that they have many interests apart from their peers may help see them through a difficult time.

“Kids have different personalities, and that’s okay.”

What applies in the adult world also applies to children: some personalities don’t mesh. Kids who try to force their way into a social circle may face compounded social problems. It’s important that the child understand that they aren’t mean to be friends with everyone – and that’s okay.things that make kids happy

“Real friends treat one another with love and respect.”

Kids who are left out usually share a similar story: a group of “friends” who without explanation turned their backs. As we know, these kids were never real friends to begin with. Sad as this situation is, you can teach your child how friends are supposed to treat each other – with love and respect, not indifference and detachment.

“Special people are always a bit different.”

This phrase may sound a bit cliché, but there’s some truth to it. Introverted, shy, studious, gifted, cautious, or empathetic/sensitive kids seem to have more trouble making friends. This can lead them to feeling left out. One tragedy of childhood isolation is that it often leads to underachievement and unhappiness. It is crucial that your child exercise his talents, regardless of what – or who – tries to get in his way. Relatedly, encourage your child to interact with kids who have the same interests as he does.

“I am always here for you.”

Your child must know that she can come to you at any time, and under any circumstance. One huge mistake that many parents and guardians make is not vocalizing their openness and willingness to support their children. Young people do not yet have developed thought processes – sometimes leading them to jump to inaccurate conclusions about sensitive matters. Thus it is necessary to voice your love and support.

“Here’s a secret…”

Now it’s time to infuse a bit of your adult wisdom into the situation. As adults, we possess some valuable knowledge that may go a long way towards helping resolve the situation. Here are a few things you can teach your child:

  • Kids respect those who stand up for themselves
  • Ignoring and walking away is better than looking in from the outside
  • Acting courageous and strong, even when you don’t feel like it, can help you feel better

Final Thoughts

“I used to think the worst thing in life is to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone.” – Robin Williams

It can be tough for an adult to hear that their child is being excluded. Here’s something worth remembering: every child has uttered the words, “They won’t play with me,” at some time or another. Every child has been left out of a peer group. Indeed, some children simply don’t fit in many places, but they fit in some place. Whenever your child is feeling left out, this is the crucial message they must take away from spending time with you. That they are accepted and loved. And that they are valuable to you.

10 Things To Remember When You’re Overwhelmed With Problems

by

Psychologist Marla W. Deibler, PsyD defines overwhelm as a “feeling completely overcome in mind or emotion.” Getting overwhelmed is something that everyone deals with sometime in their life. Some people deal with it more often than others. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with problems, make sure to remember these key things. They will help you get over the hump and get you back on track with your life.

Here Are 10 Things to Remember When You’re Overwhelmed with Problems

1. You’ve done this before

Most likely, you’ve felt overwhelmed with problems before. And like all the other times, you were able to make it through and get to the other side. It’s important to remember that you’ve conquered being overwhelmed before. It will help you stay on the right track and help you avoid having a breakdown.

2. Focus on what you can control

Feeling overwhelmed comes from feeling like you are out of control. One of the best ways to combat this feeling is to make sure you’re focusing on the things that you actually can control.

Steve Maraboli once said, “Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.”

Sometimes, you may feel a loss of control because you’re trying to control the uncontrollable. Sit back, relax, and focus on the things you do have control over.

3. Change happens fast

When it feels like you’re overwhelmed with problems, remember that the only way to get through is to be proactive. You’ll be surprised by how fast change in your life actually happens when you start putting in the effort. When you’re standing at the precipice, remind yourself that you don’t really have that far to go.

4. You have a support system

According to the University at Buffalo School of Social Work, “Supportive relationships can also bolster you emotionally when you’re feeling down or overwhelmed… they provide encouragement and lower your stress and feelings of loneliness.”

You don’t have to go through feeling overwhelmed alone. In fact, you probably have a support system that is ready and willing to help you back on your feet. Remember that your family and friends are always going to be there for you, and that you can reach out to them any time you need.

5. Someone else has survived this

The problems that we have in our lives are not unique. Even if it feels like no one else is experiencing what we are experiencing, that simply isn’t true. There are always going to be people who have gone through what you’re going through right now. All you have to do is reach out and find solidarity.

6. It’s not as bad as it seems

Even when things seem pretty darn bad. When you’re in the moment, emotions can take over and make everything seem ten times worse than it is. When you step back and look at your situation, you can probably find the silver lining. At the very least, you’ll be able to find your starting point to making a positive change.bad day

7. Find ways to relieve the stress

When you’re feeling overwhelmed, stress will be right on your heels. Don’t forget to take some time to de-stress. “Resist the urge to self-impose stress by having more confidence in yourself. Don’t press the panic button every time you face a crisis. And, don’t let someone else’s behaviour stress you out,” says Sharon Melnick, author of Success Under Stress.

Whether you need to spend a few hours relaxing, meditating, journaling, exercising or watching your favorite television show, always make time to de-stress. You’ll be amazed how manageable your problems seem after you get rid of the stress.

8. Take it one problem at a time

When you’re overwhelmed, it can be tempting to try and solve everything at once. That is just going to add a whole different world of problems right into your lap. Instead, remember that all you need to do is take it one problem at a time. After that, break it down even further: one step at a time. As long as you’re moving forward, you’ll make it out the other side.

9. Remember to say “no”

If you’re a “yes man” type of person, this could be contributing to your overwhelming pile of problems. Sometimes, it’s good and healthy to exert boundaries. Learning to say “no” to certain things will help you keep your problems manageable. Remember: you don’t have to say yes to everything someone asks of you. Saying “No” can be a virtue.

10. Eat and stay hydrated

Stress and feeling overwhelmed can make it hard to remember to do the bare minimum to keep ourselves healthy. Set periodic reminders on your phone to remind yourself when to eat and when to drink water. Getting through to the other side will require that you stay healthy, well-fed, hydrated, and well-rested. Don’t forget to get sleep, too.

Final thoughts

Feeling overwhelmed isn’t a new feeling. You’ve probably made it through being overwhelmed before. Always remind yourself of these things to help you get through to the other side. You’ll come out stronger, wiser, and readier to deal with being overwhelmed if it ever happens again.

“If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges.” – Pat Riley
