Healthy B.P.M.

Raise your hand if you have a daily to-do list. That’s great, now are you getting anything done from that or those lists? OK, not bad; some is better than nothing. I’m pretty good at making them and also at getting 85% of the stuff done on them. I’ll admit the work being done is routine. Things like workout, count my blessings, and post to my blog. These come so automatic that they probably shouldn’t be on a to-do list.

However, a couple of things keep getting pushed back. Things I really want to do and know that they’d be beneficial to me personally and professionally. But for some reason I never get around to it. I’ve started them, laid the foundation, and made some calls; just have never taken the time and given it an honest effort.

First up, my exercise DVD. Clients ask for one routinely and I keep putting them off. Not good I know. They’re not asking for a Stephen Spielberg production, just something they can follow when they’re not training with me. I want it to be professional looking; no doubt I have the expertise to lead an exercise session, I don’t want it to look too homemade and cheesy. I have the camera; I have a place suitable for videoing, maybe even have a camera person to shoot the whole thing. But what about music and what will the sound quality be like. Companies that sell royalty free music are asking upwards of $175.00 for a 30 minute CD, that’s outrageous! So I’m still dragging my feet on that one.

Then there’s the book. I’ve got all the material; I even have a famous person to write the foreword for me. Here’s the challenge; traditional publishing, self-publish, e-book; so many choices. Traditional publishing is a huge challenge unless you’re a celebrity or have found the magic diet pill. Self-publishing can be expensive and I’m a bit wary of the whole e-book thing. So my material is sitting and waiting for me to make a move. Oh and I got scammed by some shady people claiming to be agents.

I love being behind the mic and talking to anyone who’ll listen so an audio version of my wellness info would be a snap. However, it comes with its own set of challenges. Music, production and so forth. Although I do have easy access at the radio station that airs my weekly fit tips. What gives you ask? Your guess is as good as mine.

Teachers make the best students and it’s about time I start practicing what I preach. How often have I said in regards to weight loss and fitness that if you want a different result you have to take a different action. Or how about the countless times I’ve said that the point of power is always in the NOW. Believe in yourself, trust your intuition, go inside and connect with your inner source. I could go on and on. I could also start practicing for the DVD, write one chapter today, or spend fifteen minutes recording. Wish me luck!
