really cool gadgets

Last night, I had the pleasure of

spending the night outside an

Apple store waiting for a phone.

I was surrounded by a bunch of

people crazy over something as

simple as a new cell phone.

This phone is a

little nicer, a little

better than the

previous model

but probably not

worth staying up

all night for.

It was about that time that I

realized, I’m one of the crazy

people. I was right there with

them, number 29 in line and

excited for the opportunity to get

my hands on one of these phones

as soon as they were available.

I set everything aside to sleep

on concrete to pick up a

telephone that wasn’t going to

change my life in any way. I

feel really silly right now.

What this evening concrete

camp-out did point out that if

something is important to you,

that many would go through

extraordinary circumstances to

get it.

What is it for you?

3 surprisingly simple ways to relieve BACK PAIN

How important is your

health? Many would say that

their health is important,

but if it’s really important,

Are you taking extraordinary

measures to achieve your health

goals, or do you simply decide

you’re too busy with everyday

life to make a difference that

will dramatically improve your

daily living.

How much time do you spend

on different areas of your

life? Write down the amount of

time spent in these areas.

work?

sleeping?

with your spouse or

significant other?

with your children?

watching TV

on the computer?

trying to get your new

iphone to work?

improving your health?

Where your time is spent really

shows what you value. This

may be hard to look at at first.

What’s great is that if you notice

inbalance in an area, you can

simply start changing how much

time your spending on those

areas and improve where it’s

needed.

What’s really wonderful is

that, changing your health

generally takes under an hour per

day of work. Is your health

worth it? It’s up to you.

For now, if you don’t have much

time spent improving your

health, try to simply add one

thing. Maybe 10 minutes of

walking. Throw that in a couple

of times in your day and you’ll be

on your way to living healthier. .

Maybe think about adding time

eating healthy. Little by little

you’ll achieve your goals.

Have a healthy week.
