		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever wondered why similar things seem to happen over and over in your life?  Let&#8217;s take weight loss for example.  Why do so many of us do really well on our program only to fall off track at the slightest set-back and sometimes even success? 
The answer is relatively simple.  We draw on past [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
I don’t know about you, but sometimes when things hit a rough patch, the first things that I start to put off are the very things I need to make a priority.  This blog for example, I use this blog to share my knowledge and sometimes analyze how I am feeling.

When I take a couple days off(or week) I think about it daily.  I then find myself saying I will do it tomorrow.  The longer I let it go the easier it is to let it go.  I will say “OK, seriously tomorrow get back at it.”  Tomorrow comes and I again say tomorrow.  If I had the answer to why we put the things off that we know we need to do, I’d have my own television show.

		<description><![CDATA[Researchers have diagnosed over 2000 known phobias or fears.  That is a huge number of fears that people struggle with everyday.  Here is the interesting part.  Guess how many of those 2000 diagnosed fears we are born with.  Think about it for a minute, the answer may surprise you.  Those same researchers have found that humans are born with 2, that is right, TWO innate fears.  The fear of loud noises and the fear of falling are the only fears that we are born with. The rest are learned.

		<description><![CDATA[As we proceed deeper into the new year at what seems to be an incredible rate of speed, I am forced to come to some self realization.

When the new year started I decided that I was going to be more consistent with things in my life.  This blog, for example, is something I wanted to be more consistent about.  Looking back over the past year of my pieces showed me that I was rather sporadic.  I'd have a week of blogs then some time off, then another week and some time off

		<description><![CDATA[I am not going to spend a lot of time talking about resolutions today.  Everywhere you look and everyone you talk to is going to be telling you how to make and keep resolutions and how to keep them.  Just like every other year many people are going to read about resolutions and get all fired up for a solid week or two.  Unfortunately, after that short amount of time many people are going to start saying "Well there is always next year."  Have you ever noticed how packed the gyms are the first month of the new year?  Have you noticed how spacious the gym feels by the second month?
