PUBLISHER'SLETTER I
f there’s one quality that stands out in my mind to describe someone who is highly successful in their business, career or life it would be consistency. In my
study of wildly successful people, one of the character- istics that I found they all had in common was that they developed a solid plan for success, knew what they had to do and most importantly, did it on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. They practiced consistency to the extreme.
Take weight loss for example. We all know that losing weight takes time and it is the effect of a consistent effort to exercise, eat right and change your lifestyle on a daily basis. You may not see the results on a day to day basis, but one day you real- ize that your pants are a little looser and you start to like what you see in the mirror. How quickly this happens is determined by how consistent you are every day to eat healthy meals and exercise.
The following are a few examples of how a consistent approach can maximize
your performance and accelerate the rate with which you achieve any goal: • Consistently show up on time;
• Consistently tell the truth and do the right thing; • Consistently honor your commitments; • Consistently go above and beyond your expectations; • Consistently take action and avoid excuses and procrastination; • Consistently set your goals for each week. Consistency is great because people like predictable things. Family, friends,
co-workers and customers feel comfortable when they can rely on you to do exactly what they think you will do and have done in the past. But as we know, life often gets in the way and we realize that we have stopped being consistent and doing the things we need to do on a daily basis to reach our goals. April is a great time to re-evaluate our progress as we start the second quarter of the year. Take some time to think about what you were doing on a consistent basis in the past that helped you reach some of your goals. Then, implement some of those strategies now and see where it takes you!
This month we’re all about being consistent with your diet to eliminate food and seasonal allergies. Did you know that you can have an allergic response to a plant/ tree, and to the foods produced by some of the trees in that same species? There can be cross reactivity that occurs and when this happens, avoidance of those foods is a wise choice and can lessen symptoms of seasonal allergies. For example, if the issue is an allergic reaction to ragweed, avoiding banana, cantaloupe, cucumber, and watermelon may be necessary. Food should be nourishing and supportive to your body and your wellness. If you feel you are having issues with certain foods, seek out a holistic practitioner to help you determine the causes and feel better!
