When You Run out of Motivation

What to do when you run out of motivation

"If we all did the things we are capable

of doing, we would literally 

astound ourselves." 

- Thomas Edison

Today is the first day for the rest of
your life!  Have you heard this before? When
I heard this statement as a child I could not grasp the meaning; my small idea
of life had no concept of the “rest of my life.”  Now that I have been blessed to be sixty one
years young, the meaning is completely clear to me.  Below you will find lessons and steps to do
when you feel low, feel like a flat tire, or like lying in bed because you do
not have anything to do or to look forward to doing.  But before you read Mr. Anthony’s ideas and
suggestions; here are a few thoughts of motivation from God our Father, who
loves us unconditionally, who instructs us though His Word, the Bible. Pick out
one or two or three and repeat them fives in the morning when you first get up,
fives time at 12 noon and five times in bed before you go to sleep.  Do this for 30 days and then give us your
feed back of how standing of the Word of God has affected your life.

What to do when you
run out of motivation

By ANTHONY on JUNE 27, 2007

When you run out of positive energy and
motivation, it’s a lot like a car running out of petrol. Instead of moving
towards your destination, suddenly everything comes to a grinding halt.

In the same way that a car needs petrol to
operate, you need positive energy to fuel your journey to success. Here’s the
true story that taught me this valuable lesson…

I had just finished the hectic task of moving
house and the final thing I needed to do was drop off some keys to the property
manager before 5pm.

After battling heavy traffic, I made it to the
property managers’ office with just a few minutes to spare. I parked in what I
thought was a 15 minute parking spot and rushed into the building. I returned
to my car no more than five minutes later to find a $107 parking ticket on my windscreen.
I checked the parking sign and found that the area was a no parking zone
between 4 and 5pm. It was 4.56pm!

Coming at the end of an exhausting couple
of days of packing and moving furniture, this was the last straw! I was
annoyed, angry and frustrated. As I drove home. my positive energy tank was
empty and I was in a very negative state of mind.

I decided that I needed to get off the road
and have a break so I stopped off at a large shopping complex. I walked into a
Borders book store and browsed the shelves in an attempt to calm
down.

I came across a book by Farah Gray who is a
young man who grew up in the Chicago projects and went on to become a
millionaire at the age of 14. As I read about his struggles and journey to
success, I could almost feel the positive energy filling up my internal energy
tank. I felt my anxiety and frustration melt away and after reading a few
chapters of the book, I was in a completely different frame of mind.

I left Borders feeling completely reenergized
and full of motivation which was amazing considering the way I had felt when I
walked into the store. It really did feel like I had made a pit stop and filled
my tanks with positive energy and motivation.

This
Weeks Action Steps

1. Recognize that the positive feelings of joy,
love, happiness and motivation are the fuel that drives you to success.

2. Understand that just like a car runs out of
petrol, we sometimes run out of positive energy, especially when we are tired
or facing stressful situations.

3. Learn to recognize when your ‘positive
energy’ tanks are empty by examining how you feel.

4. When your tanks are empty, a great
thing to do is to change your environment and go somewhere where you can
‘refuel’. Two of the best refueling stations are bookshops and libraries.

4. Fill your tanks
with positive energy by reading an uplifting book or watching an inspirational
DVD. If you can’t make it to a bookshop, visit the inspirational video
page of this website.

5. Once you have refueled your tanks with
positive energy, you will be ready to continue on your journey to success!

Until next time,

Dare to dream!

Anthony

COMPLETE HEALTH / SIMPLE SOLUTIONS

This awesome information is just what I needed and one of my best friends Deola Alofoje (please check out her contact information, at the bottom of this article)sent this to me and I read it at (2:30Am this Sunday morning)
And after I prepared my cup of hot green tea (Dr. Oz, said drink 4 cups of Green tea daily) honey and cinnamon, I sent it to you.

My testimony: I can testify about how cinnamon help with pain in my knees, when I added to my oatmeal, tea and coffee. It worked and then I stopped using it. Guess who is going to stock up on honey, cinnamon and green tea, today?

Best Place to Buy:   Buy your green tea and cinnamon in bulk form from your local fresh fruit and vegetable market. If you are in the Atlanta Georgia area, check out the Dekalb Farmer's Market http://www.dekalbfarmersmarket.com/

I am still looking for the best buy for honey, the last honey I brought was from Kroger in a large container.  But if you have any suggestions as to how we can save money, please let us know.

Cinnamon and Honey 
Whoever thought?

Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. What it will do is what some call 'turning to sugar'. In reality, honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will "crystallize".  When this happens loosen the lid, boil some water and sit the honey container in the hot water, but turn off the heat and let it liquefy naturally. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. This will kill the enzymes in the honey. 

Cinnamon and Honey 
Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around. Facts on Honey and Cinnamon:

It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without side effects for any kind of diseases. 
Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, when it is taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm even diabetic patients. Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada, in its issue dated 17 January,1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon, as researched by western scientists: 

HEART DISEASES: 
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply it on bread instead of jelly and jam and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also, those who have already had an attack, when they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada , various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as one ages the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and the veins. 
ARTHRITIS: 
Arthritis patients may take daily (morning and night) one cup of hot water with two tablespoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. When taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week (out of the 200 people so treated) practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain -- and within a month, most all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis now started walking without pain. 

BLADDER INFECTIONS: 
Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder.. 

CHOLESTEROL: 
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water given to a cholesterol patient was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours.  As mentioned for arthritic patients, when taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

COLDS: 
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and, clear the sinuses. 

UPSET STOMACH: 
Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears stomach ulcers from its root. 

GAS: 
According to the studies done in India and Japan , it is revealed that when Honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas. 

IMMUNE SYSTEM: 
Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacterial  and viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of Honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles (where DNA is contained) to fight bacterial and viral diseases. 

INDIGESTION: 
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food is eaten relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals. 

INFLUENZA: 
A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural 'Ingredient' which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu. 

LONGEVITY: 
Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Use four teaspoons of honey, one teaspoon of cinnamon powder, and three cups of water and boil to make a tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. Life spans increase and even a 100 year old will start performing the chores of a 20-year-old..

RASPY OR SORE THROAT:

When throat has a tickle or is raspy, take one tablespoon of honey and sip until gone.  Repeat every three hours until throat is without symptoms.

PIMPLES: 
Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it off the next morning with warm water. When done daily for two weeks, it removes all pimples from the root. 

SKIN INFECTIONS: 
Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections. 

WEIGHT LOSS: 
Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast and on an empty stomach, and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water. When taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet. 

CANCER: 
Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder three times a day for one month . 

FATIGUE: 
Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, even when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, when taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M., the vitality of the body increases within a week. 

BAD BREATH: 
People of South America, gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water first thing in the morning so their breath stays fresh throughout the day. 

HEARING LOSS: 
Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts restores hearing. Remember when we were kids? We had toast with real butter and cinnamon sprinkled on it!

Eat This for Breakfast to Experience Self-Love

By RealAge By: Dr. Oz

Seems like a pretty tall order. A breakfast choice that can make you love yourself more? But a new study suggests it may be so.
The breakfast item in question? Cereal. 
     In a study, the women who had it for breakfast every morning experienced greater self-esteem than the women who started their days with a muffin -- even though both breakfasts had the same number of calories.

Mind over Food

In fact, the cereal eaters felt fuller, happier, and more relaxed, according to food diaries the women kept to record how many calories they thought they'd had and what they felt after eating it. Even though both breakfasts had 400 calories, women who ate the cereal thought it had fewer calories -- and they felt better about themselves because of it. And a mood boost like that is good for self-esteem, researchers note, because how people feel is closely linked to their perceptions of their weight and body image.

(Find out how you could double your weight loss with $2 and 10 minutes.)

Feel-Good Flakes
Ultimately, researchers think that the kind of self-love the cereal eaters experienced may even boost the chances of weight loss success because feel-good vibes can help people stick with a weight loss plan. Choosing foods that you think are high in calories, on the other hand? 

It just makes you feel bad about yourself. 

And that may make you more likely to fall off the weight loss bandwagon. Here are two more tools you can use to boost your self-love and tip the scales in favor of weight loss:

• Eat foods you know are good for you. These 12 recipes help take the guesswork out of finding delicious dishes that are low in calories.
• Love yourself a little more. The YOU Docs have two quick tips for feeling more confident about your body.

It is never to late, never! 

 At the age of 61, I have made up my mind to lean wholly and completely on God for everything and to be totally committed to please Him everyday.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding
