Which supplement should I take? #Supplement Explorer
Are you always on your phone looking at which supplements you should take? Do you look at reviews? How do you decide what to buy?
As someone who has been in the nutraceutical industry for over 10 years, I’ve worked with many suppliers and companies to understand why an ingredient is chosen, what research is behind it, and how to sell it to a consumer, so if you are looking for some answers to questions you may have, drop a comment, or even better check out the Supplement Explorer on the site. It is free to use, 3 questions, and a simple output. No info is stored.I made the Supplement Explorer purely for my use and then thought, well, if it is useful for me, maybe it is useful for others. The tool is not affiliated with any company or brand, but was just a way for me to showcase what I find useful. If you use it, do give me feedback as to what you’d like to see it on too.
Stay well and remember, before taking any supplements, check with your doctor if it is a good fit for you or not!

Exercising for health
I’ve written many times about why exercise is important for your health but which exercises should you do? Not sure where to start? Check out the infographic posted here.
Staying active is important to maintain hormonal balance, weight maintenance as well as to generally feel good to help you power through your day. If you can’t make it to the gym, try finding equipment you can use at home like bands, a bike, or dumbbells. To be successful, just find something that you would like to do and then it won’t be a chore!

One habit of successful people is..
How many times have you wished that you were a millionaire or a billionaire? We all do. Thinking that one lottery can change our lives but did you know that there is another way to attain that status? Hard work, sure but what else? If you search on Google how to get rich, I’m sure you’ll see a lot of different sites pop up but there has to be another way right?
Simply put, you are already doing one that just by reading this post. The successful billionaires all tend to read a lot. If the average person reads 1 or 2 books a year, they read more like 50 or more! How? How does it tie in with your health? Well, reading is one way to educate yourself instead of playing around on social media. Reading non-fiction, true stories, and even fiction are great for your mental development. I already talked about how your first 60 seconds in the morning are so important—your “me time” so to speak—so why not expand that time to include reading time. How can you do this with a busy family life? Get up an hour earlier. Think about it! If you got up earlier, you not only will have your me time but you’ll also be able to exercise or read. What an interesting way to tie it all together, right?
Successful people are successful because they do many of the same things we all do but plan ahead for it and alter there day to meet their goals.

Need a new book to read?
With the ongoing pandemic and downturn in the economy, reading a book like Broke Millennial by Erin Lowry was insightful. Why? Whether you are a millennial or not, it is important to budget. You don’t want to be caught on a rainy day without emergency funds. Does this book give you good tips? Yes!
My takeaways from the book include understanding how your finances are affected based on where you live. Do you adequately portion the right amount towards each expense, knowing that you’ll have to forgo somethings to have savings? I also liked the fact that you can either pay with everything by cash or note everything down in a spreadsheet as you spend. Both ways are good ways to monitor your expenditure. Lots of other good tips in the book so if you are looking to improve your financial health, do read it!

Instant vs Delayed Gratification
Think about this—a few years back you might have gone to the library to look at an encyclopedia for facts on the civil war but today you go to Google and everything you need pops right up. This is the best example of instant gratification vs delayed gratification. Why is this important for you? Well, is your health suffering because you are looking for instant gratification with your diet or workout plan or your meds or supplements? Usually, nothing comes easy and hard work is necessary, but I digress a bit.
We are so used to instant gratification in these days of the internet that we forget that sometimes we overestimate what we can achieve during a month or a year and underestimate what we can achieve in a few years or decades. This is very important to remember because we are not the same person we were yesterday as life experiences shape you daily so why are we looking for instant gratification when sometimes the reward is in the long-term and delayed gratification is a better measure of success?

Change your mindset in minutes but how?

Change your mindset in minutes but how?
One of the hardest things for humans to do is change their viewpoint. This evident in many parts of the world today—just watch the news! But changing your viewpoint and changing your mindset don’t have to be very difficult. Simple daily steps can lead you towards a better mindset. What do I mean and how can you work towards changing your mindset?
I’ll start by sharing an example. A wife says to her husband you never take good pics of me so how should the husband respond—I’ll do better next time or Just take selfies then? Neither seems to be a win or good for the relationship so what I would recommend is actually ask both of them to look at that pic. Do you find no joy in it at all? We all are critical of ourselves but should that ruin the moment shown in the pic? Every capture is a memory so good or bad, you still caught it on camera. Plus, you can always take another pic and delete it—not a big deal or critical to life so the moral of the story—change your mindset! Not everything will go the way you want but if you want to reduce stress in your life, look for the positives (such as hubby is taking my pic or I’m at this location with my spouse, etc) even if the situation is less than ideal. Positive thinking done daily can influence a positive mindset.

Podcast fan
Are you a podcast fan? Perhaps, you’ve listened to one or two and thought this wasn’t for me but did you know that some of these podcasts have great advice that you can possibly take some action from. Since this blog is all about encouraging full mind fitness, I think podcasts can provide a good way to enjoy your downtime or even can be heard during a commute. Do you agree?
I’ve been listening to many this week and found that the ones that appeal most to be are ones on self-improvement as well as those that talk about business and some that are just random opinions from various people on topics that they want to discuss. Most of the podcasts that I listen to are 10-30 mins in length with some over an hr but there are plenty to choose from no matter what situation you are in when you are listening to them. If you are looking to learn something new or just want to unwind, check out some podcasts on your phone. From growing and learning to just unwinding, there is a podcast for you!

Your first 60 seconds in the morning
Do you have a routine once you get up? I’m sure we all do. Some get up and see social media and emails while others can’t function without coffee but what if I told you that others get up and go to the gym first or some get up and meditate? Surprised? Maybe not. So why title this post about your first 60 seconds in the morning?
Well, instead of picking up your phone, you decided to instead to take a few engaging breaths for 60 seconds and be grateful for what makes you happy, I’m sure your day would go even better. What does engaging your breath mean? It means taking deliberate deep breaths and concentrating on them. Plus, being grateful is always a nice idea for uplifting your spirit. This 60 seconds habit will be challenging at first but you’ll reap benefits long term if you do this daily. Will you give it a shot?
Stay well!
