The Power of "Wow"

Happy New Year!

Here we are facing a new beginning. I have heard many people say they don't make New Years resolutions, and that is fine. But what are you doing to begin or get 2013 off to a bangin' start? Alicia Keys wrote a song titled,"This Girl is On Fire." I love it and have adopted this as my theme for the 2013. Watch out!

I recently had lunch with a group of women. It's good to meet and fellowship with women. Contrary to many of the current reality shows on television. Women can get along with each other. Our conversation began with us sharing our goals for 2013, we also discussed our mission statements. Each one of us shared how we would make an impact in 2013. It was a consensus among us that in order to make the Greatest impact we had to begin to look internally. Divas you have to ask yourself am I prepared to "Wow? "

This year, this new beginning take time to do an inner search. Find out your passion, set your goals, or write your vision. Look within and see what inner fears or demons are holding you back.

Take inventory of what is currently in your life. Remove the clutter ,the unnecessary tasks, friends who weigh down instead of lifting up. Find out if you need to get more education or training to accomplish the vision or dream. 

Step out of the box. Re-write your bio. Add a new skill that you do not already possess. Eleanor Roosevelt said "the purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience." 

This year bring out the Power of Wow in your life. Become that philanthropist, author, business owner, political figure, teacher, or preacher. Just start something. The world is waiting for you!

Water how much do you drink?

Summer is here and in full swing! Most of the country (U.S.) has been in a Heat Wave. It has been pretty gruesome.  The media has been encouraging us to drink water. I have never been so hydrated in my life and I am feeling Great. I decided to research some of the benefits of drinking water. In my reserarch I learned the Top 11 Benefits of Water;

1. Lose weight: Drinking water helps you lose weight because it flushes down the by-products of fat breakdown. Drinking water reduces hunger, it’s an effective appetite suppressant so you’ll eat less. Plus, water has zero calories. Here are the further details on how to achieve fat loss by drinking water.
2. Natural Remedy for Headache: Helps to relieve headache and back pains due to dehydration. Although many reasons contribute to headache, dehydration is the common one.
3. Look Younger with Healthier Skin: You’ll look younger when your skin is properly hydrated. Water helps to replenish skin tissues, moisturizes skin and increases skin elasticity.
4. Better Productivity at Work: Your brain is mostly made up of water, thus drinking water helps you think better, be more alert and more concentrated.

 

5. Better Exercise: Drinking water regulates your body temperature. That means you’ll feel more energetic when doing exercises. Water also helps to fuel your muscle.
6. Helps in Digestion and Constipation: Drinking water raises your metabolism because it helps in digestion. Fiber and water goes hand in hand so that you can have your daily bowel movement.
7. Less Cramps and Sprains: Proper hydration helps keep your joints and muscles lubricated, so you’ll less likely get cramps and sprains.
8. Less Likely to Get Sick and Feel Healthy: Drinking plenty of water helps fight against flu and other ailments like kidney stones and heart attack. Water adds with lemon is used for ailments like respiratory disease, intestinal problems, rheumatism and arthritis etc. In another words one of the benefits of drinking water is that it can improve your immune system.

9. Relieves Fatigue: Water is used by the body to help flush out toxins and waste products from the body. If your body lacks water, your heart, for instance, needs to work harder to pump out the oxygenated blood to all cells, so are the rest of the vital organs, your organs will be exhausted and so will you.
10. Good Mood: Your body feels very good and that’s why you feel happy.
11. Reduce the Risk of Cancer: Related to the digestive system, some studies show that drinking a healthy amount of water may reduce the risks of bladder cancer and colon cancer. Water dilutes the concentration of cancer-causing agents in the urine and shortens the time in which they are in contact with bladder lining.( http://www.mangosteen-natural-remedies.com/benefits-of-drinking-water.html )

I know drinking water is hard for many, they don't like the taste. There are several products on the market now that use flavors that can be added to water to make it more palatable. I challenge you start with one bottle you'll soon be craving more. So, what's your next beverage of choice?
