TOOL #1 <3 Check out this great tool by the American Heart Association! http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/GettingHealthy/WeightManagement/BodyMassIndex/Body-Mass-Index-BMI-Calculator_UCM_307849_Article.jsp What is your BMI (body mass index)? Use this incredible link to help you discover where you are at with your body fat. Are you ready to invest in yourself and change your path? Are you ready to stop feeling bad and being at high risk for ill health, injuries or poverty? Each day we are faced with choices. We can choose to head to the fast food drive through or pack our own health lunch and snacks. We can choose to sit and watch TV for hours and talk about how we don't have time to prepare healthy meals or to work out. We can choose to work out while watching our shows or aim the TV into the kitchen and watch while preparing healthy snacks and meals for the day or for the week. Or, we can just watch a lot less TV and get out of the house and enjoy a walk or run in nature. We can go to the gym or work out in our living room, kitchen, office, garage or even the yard. We can complain about how healthy food is so expensive and too expensive for our budget or we can take an honest look at how much we eat, how often, the nutritional value of the foods we eat and do a true comparison. We can choose to invest in ourselves or we can choose to put on blindfolds of false beliefs (I'm not good enough, I don't have time, I am too tired, I'm in too much pain, etc) and false information (good food is too expensive and hard to find, etc) and we can take simple steps daily towards our self care. It's hard watching a loved one kill themselves slowly with toxic foods and beliefs and filling the air with their excuses and "I can't" statements. Are you that loved one that others are losing to poor choices? You can choose to look into the mirror and say "I love you, and I'll show you that I do" and get out there and commit yourself to daily acts of self love. You can focus on the why you want to achieve, succeed, shift, release, etc.... the "WHY" that pulls you forward. Or, you can focus on the "why I can't" statements that keep you stagnant, broke and in ill health. This why sits you down and leads to deeper depression, more physical and mental and emotional pain. This why keeps you broke, unhealthy and sets you up for failure. YOU are worth MORE than that! :) You can use the "instead of" mindset. One simple shift daily can make a HUGE difference in your overall health, safety and success. Instead of watching a movie or two hours of shows I'm going to watch a documentary relevant to my goals: career, health, wealth, etc. Or I'll listen to an audio book about wealth building, health, or something I've really been wanting to learn more about while I workout or clean or drive. Instead of eating that fast food, I'm going to bring a salad and some fruit and perhaps dried fruit and nuts or protein shakes. Instead of that soda for today I'll choose herbal tea, water, 100% fruit and/or veggie juice or 100% produce smoothie. Instead of complaining, I will invest that time in writing down all I am grateful for in my life. Instead of thinking about what's wrong with me or others I'll spend time looking for things that I CAN DO and do them. Just for today I will.... Tool #2 <3 Here is a tool that you can use... instead of fast food or high fat foods, choose this to help you loose or maintain your weight: http://jodygonzalez.bodybyvi.com/ Find what works for you and start stepping towards your goals. Have a happy healthy and wealthy day!!!  Living a holistic balanced healthy life helps us to not only have more fruits of our labor, but helps us to enjoy them more. Your body is one of your biggest investment, wouldn't you agree? Our wonderful bodies carry us through our days. When we want to walk to do something our bodies support us. When we want to stand and complete a task or watch an event, our bodies support us. When we want to do activities, fitness, fun stuff, make love, play, etc. our bodies support us. When we want to give someone a hug or write or email or do art, etc, our bodies support us. When we want to breath, sleep, think, create, rest, love, give, receive, etc. our bodies support us. In what ways do you support your body? Do you invest in your holistic health and well being? Have you thought about it much? If you looked at where you invest your time, energy, money and thoughts the most, would your investments match your goals or dreams or your core values? In all things in life; health and balance are essential for quality living. We have no way of knowing how long we will live, how or when we will die, but we do have a lot of say and a lot of control in how we will live. While we do not have absolute control in our lives, we are the ones in the driver seat. Life circumstances or world events may sit in the back seat and add to the navigation so to speak, but ultimately we ourselves are the ones in the driver seat. We can and do contribute to the ripple effect of the world, but we do not control the world, things do come up and challenges do happen. We do have choices and we do have control over ourselves, our attitudes and our daily investments. We can invest 10 to 60 minutes a day in our fitness, our fun, our education, our meditation, our spiritual practices and in our goals. We can make the choice to do less of the things that do not serve us like watching TV, a lot of social media, a lot of video games, movies, eating junk, complaining, etc, and replace them with investments that lead to our quality of living. We can chose to invest an extra 10 to 30 minutes a day to improve our nutrition and to set ourselves up for success, or we can be lazy and careless now and invest our time later by days, weeks or months in the hospital, nursing home or by ending up 6 feet under far younger from heart disease, lung disease or some other illness that we have caused or mostly contributed to. Maintaining balance in all areas of your life will help to set you up for success in living a longer more abundant and joyful life.

http://www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/hsprograms/basic.html#_1_13 How do you promote employee involvement in health and safety programs? Once the health and safety program has been set in place and the program appears to be running smoothly, effort is still required to maintain enthusiasm and interest. Studies have shown that the effectiveness of health and safety educational techniques depends largely on how much importance management is seen to place on health and safety. Where management, by its actions, has shown that they are sincerely concerned, interest in the program can be maintained at a high level. Accountability for individual performance is a key motivator.
