Confession: I personally don’t like New Years resolutions. To me it doesn’t 
matter whether it is the 1st of January or 24th of October; if you want to change something just do it NOW instead of waiting around for the calendar to tick over. After all it’s just a calendar, what difference does it make?
Hah! I knew a skull photo would get your attention! Must be all the residue from the recent Soundwave festival I went to last weekend. The post itself is not gloomy, quite the opposite actually as it can have a positive impact on how you priorities things in your life. So without a further due:
It’s a funny little thing, being positive. People with positive attitude have the best outlook on life no matter what the situation they’re in. We all know some of these people. I can think of one right know and I can’t think of a single moment I’ve seen them upset, always smile on their face. I like to think myself as some-what positive but I wish I could be like them. However, it must be the Finnish in me that stops me from achieving that kind of outlook, yet. It’s a work in progress and I am getting better. I think.
Compare that to the cynical and negative folks who see the bad in every situation, even in great ones. Each of us knows some of these people. They’re the ones who’s company makes you feel like you have a pair of shoes on made out of lead. Again, I can think of one right know. Even thinking about them makes me feel lethargic. These are the folks you do not want to hangout with, ever.
So, when you focus on the positive you’ll be happier and more enthusiastic about life in general and others around you will feel the same. This doesn’t mean that you always need to be super happy, praising joy to the world, blasting in eternal sunshine while riding unicorns farting rainbows. (more…)
This is a short post. I wanted to share a great little tip to try if you’ve been struggling with your health and fitness routine lately or if you are someone who is just starting out. You are going to find out what type of motivation works for you.
There’s something wrong with the fitness industry. It’s the way that fat loss is most often marketed. This is something that just get under my skin no matter how much I try to ignore it. Overweight people are desperate and willing to do whatever it takes to get results. Promising someone that they’ll lose fat fast is a very tempting offer. Combine this with half-naked ripped bodies that the fitness marketing is full of and suddenly every overweight person is made to believe that they can be the next Jessica Alba or Joe Manganiello (seriously, this guy is a beast!). Sex sells I guess. (more…)
