Week 1 - Support



As many of you know that we are Health Coaches for Take Shape for Life. I am posting this information for my clients, potential clients and for those interested in achieving optimal health. Each week there will be information from my weekly support calls with my clients filled with tips and my own personal take-aways. I will be adding other tidbits of Health and Fitness information as well as recipes!

If you have any questions or would like further information please contact us – our email is anewyou.tsfl@comcast.net

Shelia’s Take-Aways –
Chapter 18 – Dr A’s Habits of Health
The Habits of Health book is filled with lots of information, this weeks reading – is primarily on our support systems that we surround ourselves with in our desire to achieve Optimal Health!

Dr. Anderson states that there are 3 most important areas that determine health:
1. Healthy Eating
2. Healthy Activity Level
3. Healthy Sleep

“In order to lay the foundation for a lifetime of Optimal Health, these new habits need to be studied, absorbed, and internalized until they no longer require any conscious effort on your part” (pg 222).

“Research indicates that people who use a support system are more likely to succeed in making positive changes and to maintain these changes over time” (pg 222).

Lesson 14 – Living a Longer Healthier Life

Do you have a structural Tension Chart? Email me at anewyou.tsfl@comcast.net if you are interested in receiving one. This is a great resource.

“Whatever methods of support you choose, remember that you are in control of your health. Be aggressive in obtaining it and preserving it. Accepting individual responsibility empowers you to take charge of your life, whatever this changing world may throw at you…but do ask for and get some help along the way” (pg 109).
