Spiritual/Mind Advancement, Food and Exercise.

My life has been characterized by good, bad, & ugly happenings since i was born on 5th November, 1978. Presently am not poor rather, getting rich, and I strive daily to be content with what I earn.

Am the one thinking it, it might not be as I think. Miracles yet happens in my life! In anything you need, just take the first step, God does the rest! There is a concept to every phenomena in life - nothing happens by accident - we will our future! What we call accident is a result of human indolence, laxity & negligence!

Redeem the time because the days are evil. We should never take God's longsuffering for granted. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. God do not tempt us, but allows the Devil. That which is enjoyable can destroy somebody. Evil communication corrupts good manner. If we harbour hatred in our heart & mind, we will never progress generally. Truly, excessive inhalation & exhalation of smoke of any sort is bad for the body as a whole. Thy throne,O God is forever & ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. When situations turn out the way you did not expect, do not curse, rather reflect on the reason for such happening. Be steadfast, be immovable, always abound in the work of the Lord. When the Lord is not our prime focus, something else will move us. We should not delight in the prosperity of the wicked. Every little thing we do for Jesus counts because He puts it into consideration. The best work in this life and world of ours is to...

As I sit to write these lines of "whatever you may want to call it", deep inside of me lay a passion that needs to be unfold and channel through pragmatic operations aimed at arousing a blissful sense of euphoria for any recipient which of course the choice is mine. While hoping upon seeing you again, it dawn on me that you're really not here! The reason for all of this is you, though you're human, but you're nevertheless, not to be belittled. You're such that teaches the lesson that "good things comes in little package", plus a flair of which is not really explicit! Yours is, but a mild indication to factualise that I'm blessed, always enigmatic in disposition and reactions towards any given status quo. You always keep me guessing, not knowing what exactly to expect, but most of all am never let down. Despite our imperfections in our every dealings, the grace is always sufficient for us. The few time spent with you taught me lessons which are fo...

Always follow your true conviction - key to self-consciousness. In anything you need, just take the first step God does the rest. There is a concept to every phenomena in life - nothing happens by accident - we will our future! More to come!

Fear less, hope more, eat less, chew more, whine less, breathe more, talk less, say more, hate less, love more, and all good things will be yours. Here is the test to find out if your mission on earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't. In order to live free and happily you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice. We really don't learn anything from our experience. We only learn from reflecting on our experience. Love conquers all. If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded. You must give time to your fellow men--even if it's a little thing, do something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it. Teach only love, for that is what you are! The soul is healed by being with children. Everyone needs recognition for his accomplishments, but few people make the need known quite as clearly as the little boy who said to his father, 'let's play darts. I'll throw and you say wonderful'. Teach...

The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart. Those who wish to sing always find a song. Most people are about as happy as they make up their mind to be. And life is what we make of it, always has been, always will be. A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstance, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. It is the habitual thought that frames itself into our life. It affects us even more than our intimate social relations do. Our confidential friends have not so much to do in shaping our lives as the thoughts which we harbor. If you treat an individual as if he were what he ought to be & could be, he will become what he ought to be & could be. Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambition. Small people always do that but the really great make you fee...

Fear & doubt are two negative words that can cripple anyone if constantly allowed into the sub-conscious. The solution to fear & doubt is to constantly exercise great & strong faith in positive affirmations & believe accordingly!

Its so sad to discover that the activities most of we men consider to be fun nowadays, are self-destructive acts that undermine our health. Imagine a middle-class worker who leave home as early as 5a.m. to work, & closes at 8p.m. He head straight for the bar to hang out with friends. In the process, he downs 2 or 3 bottles of beer, & smoke about 5 sticks of cigarette as well as a joint, before going home to conclude his daily activity. This is the lifestyle of most working class adults in Lagos today. A few wise ones would rather spend time working out in a gym, doing some yoga relaxation exercise, & having a steam bath before going home to have some fresh vegetables for dinner. Before us all lay life, death, wisdom & foolishness. We've been endowed with the free-will to choose. The ball is in our court. We always have a choice! Remember, most things are easier said than done, but in the combination of elements, there is a million possibilities. Our thoughts, words ...

The availability of gym equipment like treadmill, elliptic cycle, static cycle, spin bike, rowing machine, steppers, instant abs, step board, exercise ball, medicine ball, bosu balance, dumbbells, total gym, jump rope, resistance band, multi-gym, barbells & weight plates, shall allow you the opportunity of engaging in a variety of workout. In case these equipment are not available, you can always improvise, especially if you can afford the service of a professional personal trainer. In this plan, I shall strive to design a program that requires less use of gym equipment. This is because of the fact that majority cannot afford cannot afford to buy these equipment or take up a subscription in the gym. Therefore, I shall be flexible & economical as much as possible. MONDAY. Jog(10 laps) 30 minutes, Standing Stretches 10 minutes, Jumping Jacks 50 reps, Alternating Arm Scissors Jump 50 reps, Spine-Twist Jump 50 reps, Dynamic Waist Stretch 50 reps, Dynamic Oblique Stretch 50 reps,...

BREAKFAST OPTIONS. 1. Take any one, two or three combinations of these fruits first: watermelon; pineapple; banana; grapefruit; orange; apple; grape; papaya; mango. Its better to use only one kind of fresh fruit at a meal, then for variety, change the next morning. 2 We need cereal or bread at breakfast. For cereals, the following are good: oats; cornflakes; wheatmeal; weetabix; golden morn. If you choose to eat bread made of white flour, have a brown one. Wheat bread is best. If you cannot get a brown bread, toast your bread before eating. 3. Use honey or dates or brown sugar as sweetener. Milk is good, but must be low-fat or skim milk. Sugar & milk together tend to cause indigestion. 4 An egg lightly cooked, not fried, is an excellent addition to breakfast. Have one egg a day. 5. Meals are more healthful if taken without much liquid-water is best. Teas like fig-tea, green-tea, kwic-bru & black-tea can be taken at the close of the meal. LUNCH OPTIONS. 1. Take a sustaining, b...

Yoga exercises or movements, improve balance, flexibility, posture & circulation. Yoga originated in Afghanistan a long time ago, and is aimed at unifying the mind, body & spirit. Modern yoga - the type of yoga practiced by most people in western countries - uses a combination of meditation, posture & breathing exercises. Yoga ca be tailored to meet the needs of individuals, such as those with arthritis, asthma, or certain body pain. Pilates is similar to yoga, but it focuses more on the core abdominal & back muscles. Pilates moves are more rapid in comparison to yoga moves which are slow & steady. If you need more information on yoga or pilates, please use your search engines. Thanks.

A number of clients that began an exercise program, either in the indoor or outdoor gym, or by home service personal training, most often finds it challenging to sustain the program due to inability to always create time for their workout. Although, being able to sustain an exercise program consistently over time requires determination & discipline. Its also important that an achievable exercise goal be set in order to ensure sustainability. Right now, am going to design a simple 30 minutes exercise program that a healthy individual can practice in a room without any equipment. Its called '30 minutes Complete Body Workout'. Immediately you wake up in the morning, after saying your morning prayers, take in a very deep breath, hold for 10 seconds, then exhale from your mouth. Repeat this action 2 more times, thereafter, keep your fingers in front of your temple, your feet hip-width apart, and then do 30 reps of squats. After 10 seconds, keep your palms on the floor, shoulder...

Its a confirmed fact that we were created to live life forever. Whether you accept this fact or not, it does not affect the truth. Imagine a rich, healthy, & wealthy man. He built a 3 bedroom bungalow in a serene location, furnished the house with all the necessary facilities that makes living in a house comfortable. Then the man, seeing you as a friend, put you in the house to live in with your family of procreation. Some few years later, the man paid you an impromptu visit and discovered that you have not been taking good care of the house & the surroundings. Obviously, he will not be glad enough to transfer the ownership of the house to you. Also, due to the fact that you have not been taking good care of the house & the environment, all forms of foreign body will creep into your home to cause you & your family to fall ill. Now, let me link this illustration to creation in general, & to man. Remember, Almighty God created every good thing first- (all swinging in ...

The fitness industry in Nigeria is fledgling. Although there are many qualified & unqualified practitioners in this industry, the economic situation of the masses remains the propelling factor for the majority of practitioners. The zeal to exercise on a regular basis is the secondary motivation with most trainers. Nevertheless, majority of fitness trainers in Nigeria undertook self-study to acquire the knowledge of the trade. While the fortunate among them, took online fitness courses & continue to update themselves in the field through Internet research, fitness workshops & seminars. Over time, the profession has been viewed as an endeavour for school certificate holders & for college drop-outs. As such, the economic-sustenance capacity for the professionals has been very poor. An average personal trainer in Nigeria earn as little as =N=10,000.00 monthly, while an experienced personal trainer earn as little as =N=5,000.00 for an hour group training in the gym. Moreover...

Total fitness is best explained in the definition of health by the World Health Organisation (W.H.O.), which states that 'Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not the mere absence of diseases and infirmity. A person is said to be totally fit when he/she possesses certain attributes. An individual is said to be totally fit on the following premises: 1. If he/she physically has organic vigour, organic base, is active, is skilled in some physical activities, and enjoys a sense of well-being. 2.

Many people who do not exercise say they do not have the time. However, it is possible to increase the amount of time you are physically active, even if you are extremely busy. For example: 1. See how many trips you take by car & decide which ones could be replaced by walking or cycling. This does not have to be a black or white measure. It could include parking your car half a mile from your destination & walking the rest of the way. Traffic experts throughout most of the nations say that the majority of car trips are very short ones. 2. If you are using public transport try getting off at an earlier stop & walking the rest of the way. 3. A study found that interactive video games-such as those played on the Nintendo-may raise heart rate & provide exercise intensity levels high enough to meet federal physical activity guidelines. 4. When you are in a building & want to go upstairs, try walking it rather than taking the elevator or escalators. This does not have to ...
