1. Mind/Body- Create your vision of health & freedom (your unalienable rights)

 

• The founders wanted more than anything to be free and independent.  They saw the future and made it happen.  If someone asked you, “What do you want most in life?”, what would you answer?  Well, I’m asking :-)  You can send your response to me right now; Peter K   I’d like to help you make it come true.

2. Nutrition- Write your constitution (food plan)

• The founders needed unlimited energy for mind and body power.  If I was the confidante of Abigail Adams I would tell her to make sure to eat breakfast within 1 hour of rising and keep a food journal along with her personal journal.  Did you know her husband, John Adams, was away for 14 years leaving Abigail to raise the kids and run the farm alone.

• Continental soldiers would march for days at a time in freezing temperatures with rags on their feet.  Imagine training your body to handle almost any physical challenge you might encounter.  That’s what those who use 5 Minutes to Fitness+ Core Exercise Program are doing around the world.  Is your body ready to handle any challenge? Start training right now, here’s how. 

4, Posture & Pain- Be like George (look and act like a leader) 

• Washington wasn’t the best educated and he lacked military experience.  How did he lead a ragtag group to defeat the world’s largest empire?  He made everyone think he was in charge by standing and sitting taller than anyone else, and always appearing calm.  He used posture to make himself appear larger than life.  Sit tall right now and feel the difference from slouching.  People will take notice and you’ll feel less pain.  Set an hourly timer that reminds you to sit and stand tall.

5. Stress- Declare your independence (from that little voice in your head)

In a small rented room in Philadelphia, Jefferson wrote the document that would change the world forever.  If I was there I’d ask him to write about that voice in our heads that holds more power over us than any king has or ever will.  You know the voice. It says, “It’s too hard, I don’t deserve it, I’m too overwhelmed right now.”  Here’s what to do about it.  Identify what it is saying, decide whether it’s true and declare your independence from it.  Then, find a mentor like the founders did.  I know a really good health coach you might want to email now :-) 

I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday in the states.  If you live outside the U.S. just have a great day for the heck of it. (My apologies to Great Britain- no hard feelings I hope
