(But we will really miss you!) Optimum Health Tip:Cold & Fever Washing your hands regularly, keeping fingers away from your face and getting enough sleep are your best bets for preventing a cold. Considering a flu shot? They are about 50-70% effective in preventing flu viruses. Steam in a bathtub or shower can help receive cold symptoms. Don’t want to take medicated cough drops when sick? Simple hard candy can help relieve cough symptoms. Prevent the spread of illnesses by never sneezing or coughing into your hands. The next time you touch a surface like a door knob or telephone, you’ll pass on those germs. The best way to prevent germs from spreading when coughing or sneezing is by doing it into a tissue and throwing it out. If you don’t have a tissue handy, cough or sneeze into the crook of your arm, instead of your hands. Decongestants can increase blood pressure, so if you have any issues check with your
doctor before taking a decongestant. If you use a nasal spread for congestion, consider a saline based one instead of a medicated one. Got a fever? Drink more fluids, get rest and try some acetaminophen to ease the pain.

Almost anyone has what it physically takes to get in great shape, but not everyone does it. What's the difference between those that succeed and those that fail? For almost everyone it's found right between the ears. Your mindset is critical to getting the results you want in all areas of your life. It may sound overwhelming to change your mindset, but it doesn't have to be if you follow these simple steps. Conduct an Analysis on Your Current State Just as you would with any problem, it's important to get a good picture of the problem before you can actually make beneficial changes. You want to assess where you are right now with both your mind and your body. First, where are you physically? Is your weight where you'd like it to be? Do you feel strong? Or do
you have some extra flab to get rid of? Do you feel like your muscles aren't what they used to be? If you've been physically fit before, you know what it takes to get there. What's wrong with your body right now? What would you like to change? These are all questions to ask when you're performing a mind-body assessment. But the most important thing to assess is your mindset. There are two types of mindsets - fixed and growth. It's crucial to know where you stand between these two types. Here are a few questions to ask yourself as you consider your current mindset: * Do you believe that your intelligence is something basic that can't be changed? With a growth mindset, you believe that you can develop talent and increase your intelligence through serious effort, hard work, and commitment. Is your mindset limiting you? It's important that if you have a fixed mindset that you work on strategies to switch that into a growth mindset. Set New Goals for Your New Life Setting goals is the best way to make change. Without goals, you'll be moving through life haphazardly and letting anything happen. Unfortunately,
that usually lends itself to not accomplishing very much. Very few people stumble onto success. Setting goals can help you target your efforts toward reaching your dreams. So this is a time to think big! What is that you want for yourself? For example, you might set a goal to lose weight and reach a specific number on the scale. You might have the dream of being strong and being able to lift a specific amount of weight. You might even want to perform a high-endurance event - such as a marathon or triathlon. You may want to have more confidence and finally land that dream job in your career field. You can make anything happen with the right goals. When setting goals, it's important to write them down. Having a written list of goals makes them more concrete and can help you achieve them more successfully. You need to be specific when you set your goals as well. Your goals need to be
measurable. For example, if you want to run a marathon you need to add something measurable to that goal. It could be to run a marathon within the next calendar year. But leaving it open ended will make it hard to know if you're on track. For example, you might have a goal to lose 30 pounds. But so many elements go into the number on the scale that you may be very fit and strong, but not reach that goal. Instead, make your goal about working out daily for a specific amount of time. No matter what the scale says, you can always reach a goal based on things you can control. You'll want to set some big goals to reach your dreams in your new life, but it also helps to set small goals along the way. Setting a goal that you can reach in a week or a month can give you a taste of success along the way.
This strengthens your growth mindset and gives you more momentum to keep going. For example, you could set a goal to follow a strict nutrition program for one week. When you meet the goal take time to celebrate and reward yourself with something like a massage, a movie, or anything else you enjoy that won't sabotage your program. Stay away from food rewards that can take you away from your goals. Commit to Change Permanently Anytime you set goals, there are factors that pop up and make your goals more challenging. You'll have to be committed to your goals so that these common problems don't get in the way of your success. Let's look at a few of the most common challenges people face when they're working toward serious goals. Time: Time is always a difficult factor when you're talking about a fitness program that can take hours a day. Some solutions include scheduling your workout time into your day. You want to treat it as you would any other appointment you have with a client, colleague, or VP. You're committing to make time for your goals knowing that they'll give you back more than you invest in the end. Pressure: In this case, we're talking about pressure from those who aren't onboard with your goals. There's always someone standing on the sidelines who doesn't believe in what you're doing. They may not be supportive and may even say things that are very negative about your fitness or career commitments. Remember what you learned about a fixed versus growth mindset? These people are usually those with a fixed mindset that have trouble understanding your growth. You may even find that you have friends or family members who actively work
to sabotage your efforts. It will take a strong resolve to avoid the pitfalls that can come from this type of pressure. To solve this problem you'll have to be very assertive about your goals and your activities. You may even need to avoid some people who are toxic and getting in the way of your success, though that's not necessary for everyone. Most people respond well to assertiveness and boundaries. Financial: Financial pressure is a very real obstacle for many people. In order to get to the level that you're dreaming of it's going to take quite a financial commitment. That may mean foregoing other luxuries that you're used to having in your life - or that your family members are used to having. You'll need to make your fitness goals part of your personal budget as a line item. This is a commitment that will take some resources away from other areas of your budget. But the investment
is one that you're willing to make in order to reach the goals you've set for yourself and achieve the growth you seek. In the end, if you have the right mindset and you're committed to your goals, it becomes easier and easier to deal with issues that are threatening to stand in your way and you can experience tremendous growth.

REPORT: "Level Up with a Mind-Body Makeover" continued:Educate Yourself About Your Options and ToolsAs you work to reach your goals, it's important to educate yourself. Knowledge is power and is the first step toward action. Depending on your personal goals, your process may vary. If, for example, you want to be able to run a marathon, you'll want to get more information about what you need to do to train for one. You might get books on marathon training. You might also interview experts who have run marathons and find out what they did to prepare. You might sign up for a boot camp or training program that gives you the tools you need. Tools are there to help you reach your goals, but you don't want to waste time and money on the wrong ones. So begin with educating yourself about what's out there. Look at the tools and programs that can help you and check out the reviews if there are any. As you research you'll find tricks and tips that help you get the most out of your investment of time, energy, and money. Some tools are available, but not worth your effort. Pick and choose the ones that are really worth it. Being strategic can pay off in big results. Some tools to research and consider include: * Videos/DVDs related to your goal Break the Glass Ceiling Each and Every Day You've examined your mindset, set goals for your life, committed to make changes in spite of obstacles, and educated yourself about the options and tools to help you succeed. Now it's time to put one foot in front of the other and take action! This means doing something every day that is a new achievement. Every day, push yourself a little further than you did the day before. If you're afraid to get out of your comfort box, do it anyway. Courage isn't about being comfortable - it's about being faced with something difficult and pushing past your fear to do it afraid. Every day will bring you
opportunities for moving forward toward your dreams. If you have big fitness goals, you may find that choices you make in the office actually help you to build confidence to move forward on your exercise challenges. Any challenge that you can achieve is going to enrich your life and help you to become the person you want to be. They all lead to helping support you in a growth mindset. This is the place where stop daydreaming about your life and start living it in a way that's intentional and will lead to results. When you find new challenges and obstacles, you have a choice. You can either allow fear and doubt to keep you from moving forward or you can summon all the courage and energy you have to break through those barriers and shatter the glass ceiling that are holding you back. Each day, wake up and decide what you'll achieve that day. Some days those achievements may be small, but the results of
achieving them add up to big changes. And other days you'll recognize that you're going to achieve something very important that will have a huge impact. It's only in that uncomfortable place that you can learn and grow. Fear of that discomfort is what keeps people from achieving their dreams and leaves them sitting on the sidelines watching others have what they truly want. Breaking the glass ceiling can be scary, can cause discomfort, and can be an intimidating task. But once you've broken through, the strength and power you gain will make all the effort worthwhile. As you work toward your goals and dreams, remember that your mind is really your most powerful tool. Your commitment and determination will get you to the finish line. Look for opportunities to
challenge yourself and to grow.
