I think it’s best to decide on two key ways to change your life, and then implement them. Once they become habits, you can choose two more to start implementing. Soon, your life will be completely transformed! </span></span></div> <b id="docs-internal-guid-bb118135-ec7a-eb2c-f8a6-440d500ffede" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.4890909715132319; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Simple Ways to Change Your Life </span></span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.4890909715132319; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the most important ways to change your life is to be willing to step outside of your comfort zone. Not only should you be willing, but you should be prepared for it at any time. It’s uncomfortable at first, but you just have to go for it! This is one of the greatest ways we learn lessons and grow as people.</span></span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.4890909715132319; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When you’re not stepping outside of your comfort zone to achieve great things, take a second to figure out your happy place and spend intentional time there. Your happy place should be somewhere you feel content and happy with life, a place to recharge and revive your body and soul. Maybe this is simply a nap, lounging at the beach, playing the piano, etc. It will be different for everybody!</span></span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.4890909715132319; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the most memorable ways to change your life is to join a team. My life has completely changed since joining the Beachbody team, and I am a happier person because of it! A team will motivate you, keep you accountable, inspire you, and be there for you when you need it most.</span></span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.4890909715132319; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The other part of being on a team includes more ways to change your life. Not only do you benefit from the team, but you can help others, too! Helping others reach their fitness and health goals has had a profound effect on how my life has changed. It’s also an amazing way to surround yourself with positivity. You just can’t get me down when I’m surrounded by my amazing Beachbody team!</span></span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.4890909715132319; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Working hard to make healthy, daily habits is another one of the super beneficial ways to change your life. Turn exercise into a daily habit, whether it’s going to the gym, doing a home video, or running up and down the stairs a few times. Take extra time each day to make sure you are eating whole foods that will benefit your body and your brain. </span></span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.4890909715132319; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can also take the time to enjoy nature as one of the ways to change your life. It’s incredible to look around and see the wonders of the earth you live on. It’s hard not to be positive and enjoy life when you are able to enjoy your surroundings and see the things that are possible in nature.</span></span></div> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you’re interested in learning more about any of these ways to change your life, or in becoming part of the </span><a href="http://www.afitnurse.com/p/become-a.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Beachbody team</span></a><span style="font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, I would love to help! </span><a href="http://www.afitnurse.com/p/schedule-appointment-to-chat-with-me.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Contact me</span></a><span style="font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to learn more about how you can start changing your life today!</span></span>

20 reasons that yoga helps you heal

<div class="feature-hero" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; max-width: 850px; width: 810px;"> <div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img height="150" src="http://res.mindbodygreen.com/img/crp/WomanStretchingArmsOutside-850x400-1.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle; width: 810px;" width="320" /></div> </div> <div class="body" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans'; line-height: 25px;"> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">shared from minbodygreen.com by </span><span style="font-family: Asap; line-height: 32px;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Katrina Love Senn</span></span><br /> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> Have you always wanted to try yoga but never quite had the confidence to start? Maybe you've been away from the mat for a while and are looking for a little motivation to recommit to your practice. Or perhaps you're considering adapting your existing yoga practice so that it can have more of a healing focus.</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> Yoga is the practice of creating unity between mind and body. When there's a disconnect between mind and body, our lives move out of balance, causing stress, fatigue and ultimately, illness. When you unify your mind and body through yoga, the reverse occurs. Your body can start to heal and rebalance naturally, helping you to feel healthier, happier and more alive.</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> I discovered yoga through my own health crisis. My body was so out of balance that it actually broke down, leaving me bedridden for months. Though at the time it was a painful way to learn that I needed to be kinder to my body, the experience caused me to focus on the key ingredients for creating long lasting health and wellness. As I practiced yoga, I learned how to reconnect with my body and myself. Not only did I heal myself of a series of chronic ailments but I also lost over 60 pounds in the process and have kept if off for good.</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> <strong>Here are 20 reasons that yoga helps you heal:</strong></div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> <strong></strong>1. Yoga brings attention to your breathing, which is the single most important thing that you do every day.</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> 2. Yoga is a spiritual practice that allows your mind to soften and your heart to open.</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> 3. Yoga can help you stay connected to yourself, so that you can put your own needs first.</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> 4. Yoga can help you to gain clarity about things you're working through each day.</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> 5. Yoga is a great way to say, "yes!" to yourself and everything that is important to you.</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> 6. Yoga can help you move beyond a negative inner-dialogue.</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> 7. Balance poses in yoga invite you to get out of your head and into your body.</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> 8. Yoga gives you healing tools to better cope with stressful events and trauma.</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> 9. Yoga rebalances your body and can help with weight loss, Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), inflammation and other chronic ailments.</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> 10. Yoga can bring your awareness to the tension being held in your body, so that you can let it go.</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> 11. Yoga classes are a great way to meet new, interesting and like-minded people.</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> 12. Yoga opens up a whole world of travel opportunities, with amazing yoga retreats held all over the world.</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> 13. There are lots of different styles and levels of yoga allowing you to find the best 'fit' for you.</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> 14. Doing yoga regularly can help you to discover what makes you really happy.</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> 15. Creating a regular yoga practice can bring more flexibility and strength to your body.</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> 16. Yoga twists can help you feel stronger and better able to cope with life's unexpected turns.</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> 17. Yoga supports you to consciously make better and healthier food choices.</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> 18.
