Vision

Vision


What will the next decade hold for you? Vision is the capacity to look beyond the moment into the vast potential of tomorrow. What is your vision?

We read in the bible about King Solomon, who in his timeless wisdom said, "Where there is no vision, the people perish." I'd like to paraphrase that statement, "Where there is no vision, a company fails." It's no accident that one of the phrases Dr. Wentz seems most fond of - and that I've heard hundreds of times over the years is, "Share my Vision."

Dr. Wentz has given voice to his vision: "I dream of a world free from pain and suffering. I dream of a world free from disease. The USANA family will be the healthiest family on earth". I'm certain some people may view Dr. Wentz' vision as impractical - or even impossible. I don't know...maybe Dr. Wentz even feels a bit uncomfortable being called a visionary. The truth is, a vision is little more than an empty dream until it is widely shared and accepted. Once that happens, it acquires the force necessary to move an organization in the intended direction. And look at us! Look at the direction we're headed. We will soon be a billion dollar company! I am proud to report that Dr. Wentz is surrounded by people who have adopted his vision and made it our own. USANA has empowered us to take a stand for our preferred future.

I realize building this business can be a bit scary at times. It takes some courage to do what we do. In order to be successful in building a USANA business we're forced to eliminate caution, we must step outside our comfort zone. Let me share three strategies that have helped me and may help you clarify your vision and reach beyond your fear:

1. Get to higher ground.

One of my favorite video clips is of Dr. Wentz standing on top of a mountain in Switzerland. You might have seen it; the camera pans around him and it appears he is looking out over the entire earth. Symbolically, we need to do the same thing...broaden our perspective and see ourselves in that big picture. Dream big. Don't sweat the small stuff. Occasionally I get a call that goes something like this: "I just got my order and one of my nutrimeal cans has a dent in it." Here is another favorite: "I don't think USANA is putting as much cotton in the top of the Poly C bottle as they used to."
Can I be frank? These people have failed the vision test!

2. Craft your own vision.

We can and should share Dr. Wentz' vision, but we need to personalize it. Tell your own story. I promise you, if you're passionate about it, your story will evolve over time. When I first started building my business back in 1994, I envisioned earning $100.00 a month. I was coming from a place of scarcity and low self-esteem. I knew I wanted to keep my daughter on the USANA products so I had to figure out a way to make $100.00 a month so I could afford to stay on autoship. I started telling our story and wow...the checks kept coming. My vision improved! As I began making a difference in the lives of others my own life began to change dramatically. I was able to look forward to a time that hadn't yet arrived. Before long I could see it and feel it as though it was real. And now it is.

3. Wake up and go to work.

Give your vision substance. Take action. If your vision stays in your mind...it is simply wishful thinking. Initiate conversations. Pick up the phone. Set up appointments. Tell your story. Use the USANA tools. Show the plan. You get my point. I've learned a valuable lesson by associating with some of USANA's elite athletes. Even professional athletes drag themselves to the gym. You simply have to exercise to get the energy to exercise. Building your business is exactly the same. I promise you won't sponsor 100% of the people you don't talk to! Just do it...ultimately, the power to achieve our vision lies within us.

Let me ask again: What will the next decade hold for you? Can you predict your future? Yes, you can - because you can create it.

7 benefits of regular physical activity

Exercise: 7 benefits of regular physical activity
Date updated: July 26, 2007

Content provided by MayoClinic.com

Want to feel better, have more energy and perhaps even live longer? Look no further than old-fashioned exercise.

The merits of exercise - from preventing chronic health conditions to boosting confidence and self-esteem - are hard to ignore. And the benefits are yours for the taking, regardless of age, sex or physical ability. Need more convincing? Check out seven specific ways exercise can improve your life.

1. Exercise improves your mood.
Need to blow off some steam after a stressful day? A workout at the gym or a brisk 30-minute walk can help you calm down.
Exercise stimulates various brain chemicals, which may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed than you were before you worked out. You'll also look better and feel better when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem. Exercise even reduces feelings of depression and anxiety.

2. Exercise combats chronic diseases.
Worried about heart disease? Hoping to prevent osteoporosis? Regular exercise might be the ticket.

Regular exercise can help you prevent - or manage - high blood pressure. Your cholesterol will benefit, too. Regular exercise boosts high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or "good," cholesterol while decreasing low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad," cholesterol. This one-two punch keeps your blood flowing smoothly by lowering the buildup of plaques in your arteries.

And there's more. Regular exercise can help you prevent type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and certain types of cancer.

3. Exercise helps you manage your weight.
Want to drop those excess pounds? Trade some couch time for walking or other physical activities.

This one's a no-brainer. When you exercise, you burn calories. The more intensely you exercise, the more calories you burn - and the easier it is to keep your weight under control. You don't even need to set aside major chunks of time for working out. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Walk during your lunch break. Do jumping jacks during commercials. Better yet, turn off the TV and take a brisk walk. Dedicated workouts are great, but activity you accumulate throughout the day helps you burn calories, too.

4. Exercise strengthens your heart and lungs.
Winded by grocery shopping or household chores? Don't throw in the towel. Regular exercise can leave you breathing easier.
Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues. In fact, regular exercise helps your entire cardiovascular system - the circulation of blood through your heart and blood vessels - work more efficiently. Big deal? You bet! When your heart and lungs work more efficiently, you'll have more energy to do the things you enjoy.

5. Exercise promotes better sleep.
Struggling to fall asleep? Or stay asleep? It might help to boost your physical activity during the day.

A good night's sleep can improve your concentration, productivity and mood. And, you guessed it, exercise is sometimes the key to better sleep. Regular exercise can help you fall asleep faster and deepen your sleep. The timing is up to you - but if you're having trouble sleeping, you might want to try late afternoon workouts. The natural dip in body temperature five to six hours after you exercise might help you fall asleep.

6. Exercise can put the spark back into your sex life.
Are you too tired to have sex? Or feeling too out of shape to enjoy physical intimacy? Exercise to the rescue.

Regular exercise can leave you feeling energized and looking better, which may have a positive effect on your sex life. But there's more to it than that. Exercise improves your circulation, which can lead to more satisfying sex. And men who exercise regularly are less likely to have problems with erectile dysfunction than are men who don't exercise, especially as they get older.

7. Exercise can be - gasp - fun!
Wondering what to do on a Saturday afternoon? Looking for an activity that suits the entire family? Get physical!

Exercise doesn't have to be drudgery. Take a ballroom dancing class. Check out a local climbing wall or hiking trail. Push your kids on the swings or climb with them on the jungle gym. Plan a neighborhood kickball or touch football game. Find an activity you enjoy, and go for it. If you get bored, try something new. If you're moving, it counts!

Are you convinced? Good. Start reaping the benefits of physical activity today!

Food For Thought January 2008

Food For Thought January 2008

Grains are energy foods
Grains are a key source of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the fuel the body needs for energy.

Simple Carbohydrates- like white sugar and white flour are sources of empty carbs. They burn up fast and have little to no nutritional value.
Complex Carbohydrates- like in whole grains provide a complete complement of necessary nutrients for the body.This steady balanced digestion, is the opposite of the rush, then the crash that spikes sugar levels experienced from highly refined, nutrient-deficient grain.

Whole Grains are complete and contain: Complex Carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins, and minerals in ideal proportions for the need of the human body. They are also an excellent source of fiber, B-complex, vitamin E, and phosphorus. Minerals, Vitamins, and Energy!

*Grains are seeds from the grass family. The seed is also called the kernel. The kernel is made up of three major parts: the bran, the germ, and the endosperm. Whole grains are grains that are eaten intake.

*There are many different kinds of grains. The most common include whole wheat, whole oats, whole corn, brown rice, whole rye, barley, wild rice, and buckwheat.

Small Changes- More than 40 percent of U.S. adults say they eat no whole grains at all. White to wheat, instant to whole. An analogy that I like to use is from sailing. If you change your course by only a few degrees over the duration of a journey your destination can change dramatically.

Brown Rice is a great start for introducing the healthy benefits of whole grains into your body. Brown rice helps lower the risk of clogged arteries, heart attacks and strokes. The fiber and other nutrients may help lower cholesterol, blood sugar and insulin levels, as well as improve blood vessel functioning and reduce inflammation in the circulatory system. Try some seasonal short grain rice today.

1 cup - Rice 2 cups- Water &Pinch of Sea Salt
Wash rice and drain into strainer. Put rice and water into a pot. Bring the water to a boil. Cover the pot with a lid. Reduce heat to simmer cook for 50-60 minutes. Fluff the rice then enjoy!
