Why Is This Such A Secret?Written by Thomas West
Continued from page 1
I was amazed at how my life changed for better when someone showed me HOW to think about myself. I no longer allow myself to be a victim in my own life. I control what happens to me. Everything negative that has happened to me today is result of what I manifested for myself in past. Thanks to some good friends, I have discovered that key to health and happiness lies within my own thinking. If I think that I will be successful, and I tell myself that each day, it will happen. Thanks to some wonderful books by such authors as Dr. Robert Anthony and Napoleon Hill, along with some personal coaching, I am slowly teaching myself to control my own destiny through daily visualization. I look at world differently now. In that new view, I have seen my mother's suffering and realize that she is a victim of society's programming. Precription drugs are now advertised on television with regularity of car and beer commercials. The message is clear, "You are sick. You have a disease. We have something to ease your suffering." My mother switched primary doctors three times recently because, as she told me, "She didn't get along with them." I believe now that she left them because they would not give her care, or more accurately, prescriptions that she wanted. I have introduced my mother to a series of all-natural health products that will slowly help her cleanse her system and start her on road to true balance. She and I have also discussed my new mindset and how she needs to believe that she can be healthy and energetic again. It is going to be a long road, but with changes I am helping her to make, she will be successful in end. So I ask again - why don't more people get it? Why is it that people believe that prescription drugs are answer to all their health problems? Unfortunately, answer most likely is because that's what our society is programming them with. I choose to turn off television ads and take charge of my own health. I will gladly help anyone do same for themselves and their loved ones. It takes a commitment to learning HOW to think, not WHAT to think.

The first method requires that GPS running watch has full distance based features, as well as position tracking capabilities. As long distance running usually involves leaving your neighborhood or running through parks and other natural areas, you will want to be able to find your way back to civilization if you make an incorrect turn. The second method runners use to improve their physical fitness is to try to beat a pace. Instead of a specific distance in a day, runner will try to run a certain speed every day, gradually lengthening distance and lowering time it takes to get there. This method is suitable for short distance runners, as well as cross country runners who need to work on their speed rather than their distance. The second method requires a good speed/timing watch as well as pacing features. Garmin's virtual runner companion is perfect for this style of training, as virtual runner will help make certain that you stay on pace. The third method is for those who need a slower start. Instead of running distance or beating a pace, joggers using this method will jog for a certain period of time per day while keeping careful track of their heart rate. This method is slowest of most popular methods, but is by far safest for those with known health issues. An important part of physical training is to exert yourself without injury. By tracking heart rates and limiting amount of time that you are jogging, you can slowly build up muscle tone and endurance without stressing your body. Jogging five to ten minutes a day while maintaining specific heart rates is suggested, while slowly adding more minutes as your body adapts to being able to handle stresses of running. The third method requires that GPS unit has a heart rate monitor, pacing functions and distance calculators. This combination is important for following progress of this type of runner. The mother health oriented features available in a watch, more effective it will be when this method of training is used. When you purchase your GPS running watch, you will want to purchase from one of primary GPS and watch making manufacturers. Garmin, Timex, Magellan and Casio all have watches that are suitable for use with one of three above methods.

The methods suggested in this article should be used carefully, and only within limits of your ability.
