Seeking Knowledge

August 10, 2011

“…And, your homework for this week is to read this article about the Health Benefits of Coconut Oil”. This is an example of how each Personal Training session with my clients ends. “I’m looking forward to hearing about what you’ve discovered!” Week by week we move toward a more positive place in our fitness process and take home not only the knowledge of the literature at hand (on any given topic), but the knowledge that we, ourselves, have a lot of control when it comes to making the right choices. We create our future success and stay open to the fact that perhaps there is one more thing we can learn about to help us make excellent decisions for ourselves (and families) when it comes to our optimal health.

We can only do the best we can with the knowledge we have at the time. So, whenever we make an educated decision about our health, workouts, nutrition, or other important areas of life, we can rest assured we are doing our best.

To achieve more we have to know more. Being a life-learner and remaining open to understanding more than what we currently know, or at least have an optimistic attitude toward it, can only propel us forward.

Knowledge is Power. How will you use the new knowledge you actively gain today toward your goals? Use your power to get yourself where you want to be!

(In case you were wondering, in a “nutshell”, the health benefits of coconut oil include hair care, skin care, stress relief, maintaining cholesterol levels, weight loss, increased immunity, proper digestion and metabolism, relief from kidney problems, heart diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, HIV and cancer, dental care, and bone strength.)
