To improve
personal effectiveness, what do your lifestyles choices reflect about yourself and who you are? How do you make your life and health something of value? Did you know that your choices about becoming more active will improve most areas of your life? Have you planned any physical activity for next week? Will it be another week of thinking about doing something? Maybe you will walk your dog at least two times each day. You could walk for one or two miles.
Have you planned any strength training exercises? Adding thirty or forty minutes of strength training on Monday, Wednesday and Friday is great, but where will this happen? Did you know you can do strength training in your own home without any equipment? Simple exercises might include the front plank, the side plank, push-ups, when standing do leg lifts in all four directions. Of course there are many more options, but the key is, have you started to become more active? By simply choosing to become more active, you are improving your self-efficacy which your mind says, yes, I can do it and as we know, success begets success!
Being able to maintain this change is tough, but when you have an authentic reason for becoming more active you will make ‘being active' a lifelong commitment. I know I want to be one of the few people that will not be taking medications as a result of the poor lifestyle choices I could have made in my life. This simply shows that coming from a strong foundation of integrity and respect for my self can have enormous impact on my personal effectiveness and it can start with being more active.
Your positive attitude, healthy body, higher productivity level at work, feeling less stress, and your ability to have genuine relationships (your personal effectiveness) reflect who you am. Your lifestyle choices will reflect your passion of valuing your self and creating your best life possible. Harvard Medical School has developed The Institute of Lifestyle Medicine, http://www.instituteoflifestylemedicine.org/ where you can learn more about their mission of helping people create healthier lives. You also can obtain more information from http://www.exerciseismedicine.org/ to learn more about the benefits of physical activity and living your best life. How does your lifestyle choice of being physically active reflect your personal effectiveness? I would like to know more about your success stories. You can e-mail me, Jamie@personaleffectivenesslifecoach.com describing what works best for you.

Do you know you want to be one of the few people that will not be taking lifelong medications as a result of the poor lifestyle choices you could have made in my life? This is an example of why someone could be motivated to lead a physically active life.
