3 Softball Drills To Do At Home

• By Brandon Ogle

---

All while simply using regular household items to work on their game. It’ll not just get them more focused on the sport, but also at the same time, I’m sure you will see some rapid improvement with their on-field performance. Throughout this article, I’ll walk you through some at-home drills you can teach your players.
Drill #1: Posterboard Strike Zone
This drill you can do with a number of different things, but I’ll suggest using a posterboard. Grab some tape and create a strike zone on the board. Then, tape it about a foot off the ground. Once you have your strike zone built, head upstairs and grab a few pairs of socks rolled up (in other words, your softballs). The last item you’ll need is a camera. Anything will do here, you can even tell them to grab one of their parent’s phones. Set it behind where you’ll be pitching from and set it to record video.
Finally, now that you’re ready to practice, work on the motion of going through the windup and throwing the socks (i.e. softball) into the posterboard. With the video footage, you’ll be able to dissect the motion and overall throwing process. Some valuable insight that most youth players never evaluate.
Drill #2: Arm Strength and Hands Drills
A major part of being an effective softball player is having soft hands and a strong arm. An easy drill for this only requires a net or a wall. For the hands aspect of this category, all you have to do is throw the ball off the wall. This will allow you to practice various ground balls, short hops, and so on. Then, for arm strength, just use the wall as a way to practice throwing. Work on arm motion particularly here.
Don’t have a solid wall to use? No worries, just use a tennis ball and the garage. Trust me, it works just as well.
Drill #3: Take Some Cuts
This final drill might just be the simplest one for your players to practice. For this, they’ll just need a mirror and a bat. The player will get in front of the mirror and simply take full cuts while seeing in-person how their stance looks, as well as the swing. While it might sound like a nominal drill, it’s actually key to developing a consistent swing.
As for how often it would be recommended to do this drill, I’d suggest having them take 15-20 swings at a time on 3 different instances each day.
Practice, Practice, Practice!
In the end, one of your primary jobs as a youth softball coach is to develop the work ethic necessary to grow as a player and a person. Even though you won’t be working first-hand on these drills with your players, you will be the one responsible for growing their love for the game!

Diet, Dietary Choices, Healthy Diet And Weight Management

By: Chukwuemeka Thompson In nutrition, diet is the total sum of food taken by a person or an organism. The word diet means the use of certain intake of nutrition for health or weight management purposes( with both of them going hand in hand). Although, human are omnivores, each culture and each person holds some food preferences or some food taboos. This may be due to personal tastes or accepted principles. Individual dietary choices may be more or less healthy.

Complete nutrition requires ingestion and assimilation of vitamins, minerals essential amino acids from protein and essential fatty acids from fat-containing food, also food energy in the form of carbohydrate, protein and fat. Dietary habits and choices play an important role in improving the quality of life, health and increased life span.

Some cultures and religions have restrictions concerning what food are allowed in their diet. For example Judaism are allowed to take kosher foods, Islams Halal foods, Buddhists are generally vegetarian, meat eating may be allowed for Buddhists depending on the sects. In Hinduism, vegetarianism is allowed. Jains are strictly vegetarian and eating of root are not permitted.

A lot of people avoid food(diet) from animal source to a great extent( eg flexitarianism , vegetarianism, veganism, fruitarianism) f or health purposes, issues surrounding morality or reduced impact on the environment, although, some public assumptions about which diets have lower impact are known to be incorrect. Raw food is another contemporary trend. These diets may require tuning or supplementation such as vitamins to meet ordinary nutritional needs.

Hence, healthy diet help in improving or maintaining maximum health. In developed countries, affluence enables unconstrained caloric intake and possibly inappropriate food choices. Health, agencies recommend that individuals should maintain normal body weight b y consuming low calorie foods and sugary drinks, eating plant- based, limited consumption of red and processed meat, and limiting alcohol intake. The dietary guidelines for Americans is an evidence- based information source that policy makers and health professionals use to advise the general public about healthy nutrition.

Finally, diet may be chosen for weight loss or weight gain. Changing one's dietary intake or "going on a diet" can change the energy balance and increase or decrease the a mount of fat stored by the body. Some foo d are specifically recommended in conjunction with exercises. Specific weight loss programs can be injurious while others may be beneficial and this can be coined as healthy diets. The term s "healthy diet and diet for weight management" are often related, as the two promote healthy weight management. Having a healthy diet is a way to prevent health problems, and will provide the body with the rig ht balance of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients.

Conclusion, a healthy diet is a diet that contain the six classes of food in the right pro portions that can enhance quality health, increased life span and help in weight management.

Spartan Creed for every Deed

By: Randy Gonzalez Spartan creed for every deed suggests the duty, discipline and devotion for the ultimate quest of the personal mission. For an ethical framework by which life is a meaningful experience in every aspect, the free will choice is in the purpose of individuation. A code of ethics is a private selection. For a few, who prefer a more demanding existence, one filled with the pleasures and pains of real-life exposure, a Spartan perspective may be more acceptable.

Defining that viewpoint invites variations. As some practitioners of warrior traditions alluded, it is a sincere dedication to a rigorous lifestyle animated by the vitality of the "warrior’s edge". To offer the term Spartan is to reflect upon historic reference points whereby living is mental, physical and spiritual in the wholeness of self-evolving transformation. It is a personal quest, a journey of individual liberation beyond the social enslavement of contrived consensus.

One writer offered the outlook that a Spartan way of life focused on self-development. In so doing, one constantly challenged himself or herself to become a better version than the original self. In furthering those aims, frugality was centrality, reflecting a minimalist existence. That is to say, less consumption and more conservation in using only what one needs. Essential to the mission of life, physical fitness remains critical, particularly to a changing mindset.

Training mentally and physically often confronts post-modern senses with a certain amount of anxiety. Timid, anxious and self-absorbed at a very superficial nexus, most dare not fathom the depths to which the "mind" can go. Nor is there much care to face the darkness within by seeing the darkness all around. Regardless, some, especially first responders and those in the military, a kinship of the few, face the depravity of human debauchery frequently perpetrated.

Being fit for the personal quest, is a commitment over a lifetime. Self-evolution in mature transformation is a slow process. It requires pain and suffering, as well as pleasure and passion. Each day is another training day to insist upon a freethinking worldview. Spartans are a good example for living simply, by prudent means and a lifestyle without extravagance. In such historical reference, the intention is to address principles of thinking and subsequent behavior based on disciplined thinking processes. As one group of advocates asserted, the illumination upon these precepts is about how to apply them in a modern context that is individually positive.

The warrior avoids conspicuous and gluttonous consumption. Yet, in modern society, the ostentations of wealth, consumerism, material possessions promotes a wasteful and arrogant manner of existence. Simplicity as a way of living, for the warrior, pertained to necessity of using only what one needed, without an absence of extravagant indulgence. By contrast, to a consumer-oriented society, the avoidance of gluttony was a significant matter. Over-weight, lazy, self-indulgent and uncreative are not expressions of what a warrior wants.

Regardless, in contemporary society, many are dismissive and condescending toward an ideology that expresses a warrior’s mindset. Likewise, the mere mention of a Spartan concept evokes varied reactions. Typically, criticisms devolve toward sarcastic memes, which are most often in the framework of emotional reactivity of an unproductive nature. Courage, confidence, self-reliance, independence, freethinking, mental and physical fitness, etc., frighten and challenge the status quo. Outside the so-called confines of supposed "normal", a Spartan or warrior mindset labors to be different from commonplace expectations. It scares people.

To say such a thing as Spartan evokes many to react in varied ways. Often the reactivity is negative. For many, the notion strains the senses to give way to a primal submergence to personal self-doubt. Related terms come to mind. Such descriptors as frugal, plain and simple, austere, self-disciplined, self-restrained and courageous in confrontation with pain and suffering. Regardless though, those inclined toward an easier less cumbersome existence readily devolve to the comfort of safe and secure mediocrity. Personal self-reliance is fearful and uncomfortable.

For purposes here, the conceptualization is not literal in reflection upon an ancient time, culture and historic geographical location. Instead, the inclusion favors a tactical mindset, based on ethical precepts that inspire expanding realms of mature mental prowess. The code of bushido, for example, is another point of reference in developing a warrior’s way of life. While ideological thinking makes transitions over time, place and circumstance, the essentiality of a belief ought to be one by which a maturity of wisdom rises above the selfishness of infantile regressions.

Frugal, austere, and economical require discipline and devotion to a set of ideals that persist in the individuation of the diligent person. As such, he or she is a warrior of self-evolution, as resistance fighters come in many human forms. Important to this psychic process of self-evolution is the perseverance for extraordinary creativity and authentic conduct.

As ethical perspectives invite diverse and divisive discourse, opposition is expected in every human endeavor. It takes hard work to be a modern warrior. Developing a warrior mindset, plus all the attributes of mental and physical strength, should not be viewed here as preferring a specific gender. Warrior hood is gender neutral. Essential to personal development, self-evolution, in order to achieve a higher state of differentiation, creativity is vital. Creativity unleashes the angelic and the demonic forms from inside the psyche to transform the individual persona. That is of course, metaphorically speaking. For the monsters from the Id, brave ones fight back.

From the attraction of ethical conceptions, beguiled is a sense of detached observation as to the perversities that intercept good intentions. Ideological roadblocks by those less inclined to self-evolve, as politicians, pundits and purveyors of egregious fallacies, will do whatever they can to protect their special interests. To be different from that requires a never-ending persistence to transform. As such, a Spartan way is one option to insist upon individuation in a creed for every deed. Not that which espouses the shallow discontent of juvenile narcissism. For that is passage from infancy through juvenile delinquency into adulthood. Yet, maturity may be elusive.

Maturation is the metaphysical ascendant masturbation of the brain’s health, longevity and fitness through constant training and exercise. It is determined well-disciplined intensity of introspective thought carried toward aggressively confident actions. No whining, no sniveling no malcontent complaining of this or that, except transcend the old self. As one instructional website asserts in its admonition to "Ranger up!" to master the physical aspects, and enjoin the intellectual capacity for rejuvenation, the warrior becomes a better version than the original.

However, no matter how hard the trek of the personal quest, ghosts, goblins and gremlins strike back. Again, that is metaphorical in reference to the clowns in the human circus who project their insecurities toward others. Such members of the cast do whatever they can to negatively affect another’s successes. They come in many forms but all share the selfish egoistic arrogance of pretentious claims to special insight. Some are critics of creativity in condescending ways.

Others, given their limited range of intellectual capability and conceited shallowness, foment dangerous public policy. Of them, they are usually politicians. Still others spread the venom of their vehemence in places of supposed higher learning, where open-mindedness and free speech are often stifled. They would prefer to shut debate in order to ensure emotional pampering rather than promote the free exchange of differing viewpoints. Selfishness prevails.

In the pussification of modern males, particularly in the U.S., one writer argues the regressive devolution of manhood into a voluntary preference of the "victimization role". The claimant of this perspective suggests everyone, especially men, have a duty to pursue the betterment of themselves. In doing this, the writer maintains and ideal of personal and social responsibility for growing up in a mature non-materialistic manner. Although the scope and extent of measurement might question the validity of defensible data, the ideal is set forth to make the best of one’s situation. Few men in post-modern society desires to do this.

Furthermore, the reality of a pussification of maleness has noteworthy attribution, providing a realistic appraisal is conducted of contemporary social interactivity. From various perspectives, the "state of manhood" in the early part of the 21st century seems under attack from a diversity of interests. A question at this junction might arise to question the viability of authenticity in such assessments in consideration of sweeping generalization. Given the heavy reliance on 24/7 news shows, social media and "academia activism", to mention a few, hastily generalization overlooks the exceptions. It could be easy to conclude adversity in an overall sense.

In addition, anti-maleness attitudes could be exaggerated or could be directly on point. Yet, that is not the direction taken here. The forgoing article suggested manhood is in a state of dilution, with good intentions for asserting a sense of individualism. Masculinity, in the mainstream talk circuits, social media and other places devoid of serious history lessons, reaches only half of the "social studies" arena. For some, the Spartan mindset in few discussions refers to men and gets sidetracked from the original perspective of self-reliance. Femininity is the other component. Specifically, male and female in terms of biological chromosomal implications.

A Spartan or warrior mindset is not concerned with gender in the perspective presented here. Men and women, regardless of personal orientation, ought to strive for a bolder sense of mature self-development in serious personal transformation. Such is a thinking process of individuality, or individuation for higher development. It is the serious personal quest for independence in thought and action. Such is the labor-intensive commitment to change oneself in profound and disciplined ways. The progression is one in which the liberation of thinking processes is essential. Escaping the enslavement of oppressive and tyrannical constraints of status quo consensus demands courage. Developing a tough-minded independent sense of self is risky. Many will not take the chance to break ranks, leave the pack, or flee the flock.

Personal liberation is composed of many components intricate to the thinking processes of the individual. Seeking a higher spectrum or broader context of self-evolution is not an easy undertaking. A life-long commitment to betterment, a more unique evolved sense of self, requires tireless dedication to changing oneself. Growing up is costly. Getting tough about it is costlier. Looking in the mirror and telling the alter ego, at least one of the other personalities and voices inside the psyche, that the day will be another for building a warrior mindset. Next morning, another part of the personality arises and looks back. Now what? Did anything change?

Warriors are different from others. They represent a special class of societal membership. With a diversity of service orientation, it is a diverse group. Examples include those who serve in the military branches of the armed forces, whereby warrior ethos is personified. However, that is not all. From police officers to fire fighters, corrections and probation officers, the examples of warrior-hood exemplify the willingness to serve others. In addition, other lifestyles have warriors. Naturally, a diversity of viewpoints will disagree with this perspective.

Nonetheless, the warrior comes in many forms. Fiercely independent, creatively rebellious, and exceptionally transforming, the knight is distinct and strives to be different. Diligent in personal education, philosophical enrichment, open-mindedness, psychophysical training and enlightenment, the sage resists the temptations to accept the commonality of mundane mediocrity. She or he works hard to change into a different version than the original version at birth. The warrior embraces free will as a profound means by which transformation occurs. Neither perfect nor without shortcomings, warriors seek to ensure chivalrous behavior.

Gallant and noble, courteous and honest, she or he follows a different passage through short history of her or his time. Along the way, by success and failure, pain and suffering, pleasure and learning, the warrior is wary of the enticements that pander stupidity. Where deception threatens the sanctity of truthfulness, the valiant ones confront the darkness within. Shunning the hypocrisy of diverse cultural collusions, the warrior labors to do the right thing regardless of consequences. Of these ideals, the code of bushido expresses the virtues of rightful actions. In brief, eight virtues were cited. These included justice, courage, benevolence, politeness, honesty, honor, loyalty and character. With honor and character, sometimes, sincerity and self-control are used interchangeably. Against these, attacks from the "safe place" mentality of political correctness and absurdities of status quo consensus cannot prevail. A warrior mindset is essential.

Naturally, such a perspective is a particular viewpoint and based on one’s opinion. For the selflessness of self-liberation, the mythic charm of the heroic ideal comes into a modern viewpoint as vital to post-modern social survival. Arduous physical and intellectual energies come to bear to provoke an extraordinary sense of creativeness. Obstacles no doubt are rife within contemporary culture. From greedy consumerism to the stupidity of extremist ideologies, as well as the superficiality of political hypocrisy, the valiant few adherents to the warrior’s code contend with maladaptive, divisive and counterproductive recriminations.

One example of cowardly social intolerance is the protestations for tolerance unless there are differing opinions. In the social mainstream, particularly in the overly opinionated news media, disagreement devolve to an invention of a "phobia". Such lower levels of primal submissiveness lurk in the shadowy realms of moral weaknesses. Higher ascendency to planes of self-reliance and rugged individualism require greater insistence upon individualism. Yet, collusions conspire daily to detract from that reality and impose a devolving spectrum of timidity.

In this sphere of social media shallowness, an evolving sense of presence, in the framework of individual mastery, asserts a positive sense of personal freedom. To pursue an enlightened transformation, free of contrived consensus claims the willful acceptance of personal uniqueness. Responsible, mature and stable persistence in the face of dismissive animosity or ridicule speaks to the inner courage of the rebellious spirit. For the warriors, it is a matter of seizing the right moment to claim his or her exceptionality in the face of reactionary spinelessness.

In one online commentary on social issues, the author colorfully compares many in modern society with the story of Peter Pan in Neverland. Refusing to grow, demanding dramatically to remain in perpetual childhood, the writer suggests entire generations relish in a never-ending state of adolescence. Some might go on to insist that many people today have not progressed beyond the toddler state of their existence. Further, the assertion offered id that, according to one UK news source, adolescence now spans an age range of 10 to 24. In previous generations, that line of demarcation extended to only about age 18. Population estimates put the number of persons in that age group as roughly one third of the U.S. citizens. This of course represents a significant impact in terms of news reporting, social media, and associated public interaction. Behaving in counterproductive ways does not promote the innovation, as well as the keen sense of creativity necessary to advancing the human species. Emotional drama promotes negativity.

For the rampant hypocrisy, the devious scheming and the nefarious deceptions, the adverse and divisive politics as usual speaks volumes of the insidious nature of cowardice. Of the nasty intentions of ill-informed unevolved personages on the grand stage, the hedonistic self-reward of momentary grandeur jeopardizes a republic. For warriors however, the valiant fight is never finished. Much individual work to be done. That comes from within, to rise above the social milieu of hateful bitter acrimony. Each must be prepared to seize the moment.

By keeping watch, without remorse, regret or restrictions, no guilt or self-doubt, staying vigilant and being mentally prepared, one must ignore the whining. Of course, they will whine, snivel and relish in excuse laden memes. Endlessly excusing foolhardy shortcomings gets wearisome, not to mention the demise of social advancement. The stupidity, especially the moral weakness of self-absorbed insincere subjective validation, brings on the eventual demise of the social structure. Such usually helps most become the willing victims of their own deceit.

Deception argues the sad defect in human fascination with false narratives, egregious fallacies of inferential attribution, emotional reactivity and the overall dysfunctional defect of childlike behaviors. For adventures in never-land, many choose to remain as children. Yet, for the warriorhood of individuation in self-liberation, logic, reason and maturity anticipates the grounds, by which facts serve the truth in the final effect. As such, disciplined authentic ethical precepts produce possibilities for ascension to higher realms of enlightened differentiation.

As some would point out, the eternal victims of proclaimed adolescence refuse to grow up, as each subsequent generation unfolds the "selfies" of mirrored amusement. Acting child-like for many is much more entertaining that being responsibly authentic. Arguing against the essential efficacy of serious self-evolving objectivity, the sad defect of the post-modern era is weakness. Softness physically and mentally does little to advance individuality, or collectively, the human species. Along with that, comes the persistent agonizing annoyance of decision-making.

One writer, for an online cultural commentary, cites a continual regression of "maleness", or "manliness", over the last several decades. Accordingly, since 1960, societal efforts trended in the direction of turning males into "pussies". Naturally, from a classical criminological viewpoint, the primacy of free will offers choices not mandates. Therefore, a person does not have to bend to cultural consensus. Regardless, younger persons grew up in a weaker, more cowardly and softer less conflict-oriented society in a much-generalized sense. Yet, there are always exceptions.

Aside from the valiant few, who seek the higher realm of mature psychophysical illumination, probably at best about 20-25% of the population, "adolescence" trends to about age 30. With a rapidly growing crybaby culture, wonderment befuddles the prospects of serious hard-core decision making in a wussy society. As one author has written in an Orwellian framework, the devolving nature of the contemporary society exhibits a fat, soft and weak culture. As suggested earlier, the saga continues relative to a narcissistic, whiny and infantile society.

By contrast, some writers point out the issue relates to the previously cited intentional insistence not growing up. Purposefully forgoing maturity in adulthood, "delayed adolescence" as well as playing the role of "social victim", perpetuates the safe mediocrity of avoiding responsibility. By sidestepping accountability, crybabies can place blame for their weaknesses on something or someone else. Very quickly, and without much effort, absent credible scientific validation, the "social studies" realm of academia can invent an alibi and a "diagnosis".

Simplistic excuses are quickly conjured so the offended parties can feel better. As the devolution escalates, the generational self-imposed transmutation continues its downward spiral. A few exclusions will always be noteworthy, given the probabilities of exceptionality. For the majority, however, the choices are less than inspirational. Preferences favor less risky options for individual passivity. By contrast to previous historical points of reference, the rugged sense of individualism, self-reliance and spirit of adventure, fade to the pages of history.

Feeding on the inclination to stifle maturity and adhere to adolescence in adulthood, many relish in their insecure anxieties. For those referred to as "snowflakes", the derision provokes images of the cowardly lifeforms that dissolve in the face of adversity. While weakness comes in many forms across a diverse landscape, the intentional selfishness retreats from heroism of selflessness. Historical vestiges of pioneering inspiration and creativity in today’s world falls upon a small percentage of those pursuing a warrior’s mindset. It is exception not the rule.

Inside one’s Spartan creed, there are the seeds of noble deeds. Such a mindset reconciles shortcomings with strengths that enjoy an affinity for serious personal insight. With this, the potency of introspection focuses on individual transformation. Every moment represents the freedom to make the right choices, and prevail in becoming a better version that the original template. Personal liberation is a work relentless work in progress to ascend to higher realms of psychophysical enhancement. It is an ascended quest for enlightenment.

A Godly Way of Thinking 

From CDM

Our thoughts are powerful, and they can influence our entire lives. If we think positively, we’re more likely to follow up with actions leading to a positive outcome. If we think negatively, destructive behavior can follow. God doesn’t want us to struggle with wrong-thinking, which is why He gave us guidelines to help us develop a godly way of thinking.

Our mindsets and attitudes shape our thoughts; therefore, it’s important to be aware of what goes into our minds through our eyes and ears. We don’t live in a vacuum, and plenty of good and bad influences compete for our attention. We ultimately control which thoughts and ideas we embrace and which ones we reject. We become what we believe, so aligning our thoughts to agree with the Word of God keeps our minds safe.
If we let the world govern the way we think, we can be overwhelmed by wrong-thinking that will drag us down. Philosophies that contradict what the Bible says are everywhere, but just because we heard someone say something doesn’t mean it’s true. Conforming our minds to those philosophies only limits us and holds us back from achieving our true potential. Routinely reading and studying the Bible, which is the only unchanging truth we can count on, leads to a radical transformation of the mind.
No one can live in the world without being affected by its backward mindsets and ideas. When its philosophies have seeped into our minds so much that we feel trapped and in bondage, meditating on the Scriptures brings supernatural renewal to our thoughts. The world tempts us to think in the natural, but the Scriptures teach us to think supernaturally. Thinking like Christ liberates us.
Prayer:
Lord, I know that You are greater than the god of this world and that You want me to succeed in life. Your Word gives me clear instructions on how to think, and following them gives me victory over wrong-thinking. Thank You for revealing to me the truth about the power of the mind. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Confession - It's Time To Take Out The Garbage!

By: John Park None of us wants to look inward at ourselves and see the bad things we have stored up. We like to believe that we are good people. We convince ourselves that because we do not commit criminal acts that we are good people. We also say things like, " I'm not perfect, I make mistakes". What's wrong with us? We convince ourselves that we are good, yet on the other hand we are bad too. So have we convinced ourselves that we are blameless for our actions? Do we figure we are not bad because we're not in jail? We like to think that since we are not perfect that it's ok to continue living the way we do. We all know that the flesh is corupt. All the flesh thinks about is itself. It doesn't want anything to do with the soul or the spirit (our intellect). The carnal mind is going to keep on telling us lies as long as it can get what it wants. And as long as the flesh is dominate over our spiritual side, we will keep on deceiving ourselves.

The flesh is mans downfall, it wants what the world has to offer, not what God has to offer. As long as we obey the flesh we will be bent towards the world, not walking upright like God created us. To receive what God has to offer one needs to start by denying ones self and that is like death to the flesh. So in a carnal, fleshly way we pursue sensual pleasures, or things that gratify our appetites. Problem is that something is missing: "God". You could go to church all week, volunteer, study your bible, etc., etc., but as long as your flesh is dominate you have no life in Christ. Mark 8:34 - 37.
Who do you worship, God or the world and the things that belong to it? You can't have both. Although many people think they can. One of the problems is, is that as long as we can't see any wrong in what we are doing than it must be ok, right? Wrong. We are completely blind to these things because we are still carnal. We have not awakened the soul and spirit yet. The only way to awaken our spiritual side is by denying ourselves and following Jesus to the tomb (this is not the baptism of water. The water baptism is a baptism that is a pledge made to God from a good conscience. After we die in Christ we then can be reborn to our true spiritual selves. This is the spiritual revolution that begins to take place. The flesh doesn't understand what's going on. The light of faith is darkness to the flesh. The flesh no longer has control of its normal faculties. This is where the battle begins.
In order to help reach this point we need to look inward. We need to acknowledge our sins. 1John 1:8,9 'If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all iniquity'. In order to acknowledge our sins we need to turn to Jesus for His help. Remember, we need to first deny ourselves, which means we need to want to give up our old ways of living, all of it,a nd pick up our cross. We will need it to nail the flesh upon it. Jesus is the way, follow Him. This is what He meant when He said,' The road is long and narrow and few find it'. It's not a matter of finding it, it's right in front of you. You need to be willing to get on this road at all costs, no matter what tests and trials come up. It's not a road for the lazy ones or the ones of the world. It's for people who want to be known as a child of God.
If you can turn your eyes inward and with all sincerity and honesty and willingness to clean yourself up, Jesus will be there to help you. He will even bring forth the sins you forgot. It is a deep and serious cleansing. The sins we remember and the ones shown to us by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we need to write them down. You can put them in categories like: greed, lusts, sloth, impatience, anger, resentments, envy, gluttony and jealousy. It's going to take some time to do this, so don't rush it. It's a wonderful learning experience as well. After you have written all this down, you need to take it someone who is experienced in this type of confession. So that you two can talk about what you have written and pray together for your forgiveness. In James 5:16 it says, ' So confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another and this will cure you'. No denying this scripture. I've been in alot of different churches and I don't know why they don't teach this. Could be because we're lacking in spiritual teachers and preachers. Too many taught by man and not by the Lord. Also this is not a subject that would tickle people's ears.
I'm going to give you a testimony if I may of my experience of this type of confession. I'm only telling this to show you truth in the scriptures of the importance of a true, all out confession and to glorify God bless His heart and soul. When I learned of this type of confession and decided to do it because I was willing to do anything and everything in my walk with Jesus to grow spiritually and learn to do what's right in the eyes of God. When I took all my papers that I had written all my sins on to a minister that was familiar with this type of confession, we talked about everything and he even asked questions about things he didn't see on the papers. Then we prayed. After we were done, I felt so renewed and pure inside I cannot even begin to explain how beautiful it was. When I left I ran into some people I knew and they asked me what was going on. I said," What do you mean?". They said that I had this glow about me. I told them what I had just done. I could see in their faces that they were just in awe by seeing this radiance of light glowing from my body. From my head to my toes I was in such a wonderful state of overwhelming...I'm sorry but I just can't find the words to describe it. I don't think there are any. This is what the baptism of the Holy Spirit is about, I know that for sure. After your confession there is one more thing for you to do. Make amends to the people you have resentments towards and people you have hurt and done wrong to. If you would like a suggestion on how to find out who would be a good person to do a confession with please e-mail me at: thetruth@itrustgodonly.com. May God Bless You Dearly.

Fish Oil-How it Helps Hair Loss

By: Larry L Taylor
While there have only been a few studies concerning fish oil and hair loss problems, the results of those studies have been positive. Good nutrition is imperative for hair health and appearance. One of the nutrients that is commonly lacking in modern-day diets is DHA or Docosahexaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid.

There are a number of different things that cause people to lose part of their hair or go completely bald. Those things include:

• Heredity/genetics

• Mechanical stress; pulling, coloring, heating, etc

• Iron deficiency

• Exposure to toxins or poisons

• Lupus, an autoimmune disease

• Dysfunctional immune systems; either over-reacting or under-reacting

• Bacterial, viral and fungal infections

• Medications, particularly cancer treatments or chemotherapy

• Hypothyroidism

Some of those things cannot be addressed by dietary supplementation, such as genetics, heredity or mechanical stress. Others can. Iron deficiency is an obvious one.

Supplementation can actually be a cause if the oils contain impurities like mercury. Chronic exposure to that heavy metal has a negative effect on hair health. But, assuming that the supplement you choose has been tested for impurities by an independent laboratory, there’s no need to worry about that. Let’s look at the other causes, one by one.

Although, they did not look specifically at fish oil and hair loss problems, researchers have looked at the benefit of omega-3 supplementation in lupus, a painful condition that involves inflammation and is accompanied by a number of symptoms, sometimes including hair-loss. They concluded that omega-3 supplementation is beneficial, not only for hair health, but for reducing pain and inflammation.

Any condition that involves the immune system, of which lupus is one, benefits from omega-3 supplementation. As for infections, there are no specific benefits, other than supporting overall immune system health.


There has been at least one study that concerned fish oil and hair loss problems caused by chemotherapy. In it, the researchers found that DHA supplementation helped prevent the problem, supported hair health and reduced other negative side effects associated with chemotherapy.

Another study concerns the subject of fish oil and hair loss problems caused by hypothyroidism. That study concluded that Eicosapentaenoic acid or EPA may help prevent hypothyroidism, which means that it would also help prevent poor hair health caused by the condition.

Most of the supplements on the market contain both EPA and DHA. You just have to check the label to see how much of each is included. In many cases, the EPA content is much higher than the DHA. The reverse should be true.

DHA can be easily converted within the body to EPA and any other fatty acid, because it is the longest chain of the long-chained fatty acids. Up-converting from a shorter chain to the long-chained DHA is far less efficient. Only a small percentage, less than 4%, of EPA will be converted by the body to DHA.


Although this article focused primarily on fish oil and hair loss problems, you should be able to see that there are a great many other benefits. You might want to learn more about them.

Improve Your Golf Game with Black Belt Golf

by Ryan White

Description

Warming up is extremely important before golfing. Watch this video to get some tips on how to do it properly. We'll also cover an easy but effective workout that will improve your golf swing if done consistently. Want to take it up a notch?  We'll show you how!

The Coach

Ryan White

Owner Black Belt Golf Company

As a child, Ryan White was diagnosed as legally blind in one eye. He also suffered from asthma. Doctors told him he would never be able to play sports. Yet, at the age of 7, Ryan was introduced to a myriad of sports including golf, martial arts, basketball, baseball, tennis and football. He excelled, and at the tender age of 10 told his father his dream was to become a professional golfer. At age 14, despite being just a freshman, Ryan earned a spot on the varsity golf team and helped lead the team to an undefeated season, attending the state championship. He was also named MVP. By the time he turned 18, Ryan had earned a full golf scholarship to Long Beach State. While he enjoyed playing collegiate golf, he made the decision his junior year to forgo his golf pro dream and pursue a more practical career in accounting. After graduation, Ryan married and went to work as a CPA.
Five years later, Ryan found himself divorced and suffering deep depression. He dove back into martial arts—he’d come one belt shy of earning a black belt at age 14—and after starting over and earning his black belt, discovered something amazing. He felt better. His negative attitude was gone. He was no longer depressed. He’d lost weight. He was in better shape, and he was able to hit the golf ball 50 yards further than ever before!


Black Belt Golf Lessons: Palm Springs and Beyond
Ryan realized he was onto something. While still working as an accountant and continuing to improve his golf game, Ryan began studying entrepreneurship. And in 2009, he and his new bride Genevieve started the Black Belt Golf Company and began sharing Ryan’s proprietary system with other golfers eager to improve their games.
Since then Ryan has rounded out his expertise with certifications in fitness training, sports nutrition, and strength and conditioning. He currently shares the Black Belt Golf System through golf lessons in Orange County, through his book and DVD, Black Belt Golf: The White Belt Lesson, and with members of two exclusive golf clubs in Palm Springs’ Area: Mission Hills Country Club and Ironwood Country Club.
Ryan currently plays competitive golf and lives in Palm Springs with his wife Genevieve, their daughter Eleanor, and a yellow lab named Sammy.

 5 Easy-To-Use Fitness Apps

By: Lionel Lim Mobile health apps are increasingly popular these days. It’s not just the fitness enthusiasts who plan their diet and workout; the average man is using these health apps to track his calorie count and even the number of steps clocked each day.

Here are five easy-to-use apps that we’ve tried and liked. Best of all, they are absolutely free!

In no particular order…

1. Fitbit
What I like about the app: Fitbit takes sleep seriously. Sleep lowers the risk of health diseases. Besides that, researchers from the University of Chicago found that 56% of people who diet lose more fat than those who don’t. People who sleep less are found to be hungrier as well. Fitbit wants a weekly sleep goal, has bedtime reminders and has waking up targets.

You may forget to hydrate yourself thoroughly after a workout. Fitbit tracks your water intake throughout the day.

You don’t need a fitbit watch to use this app. Also, you can analyse your health statistics on your computer.

Available on: Android and iOS

2. SenseMe (Pedometer and Fitness Tracker)
What I like about the app: All-in-one app. Besides the usual pedometer (to count the number of steps taken), SenseMe tracks your sleep, calorie count, most fitness activities, like swimming and yoga, route taken etc. Basically, all basic health-related needs are covered here.

Interestingly, you can track your heart rate just by placing your fingertip on the camera lens. I wonder how this technology works..

Available on: Android

3. Google Fit
What I like about the app: It’s by Google. Smart and simple.

You can capture all your fitness data from other fitness apps, such as Runkeeper and Runtastic, here. Fret not, you may delete your data by clicking the Menu >Settings button if you are troubled that Google has all your data.


Find your handphone too heavy when jogging? Google Fit is preloaded on Android Wear watches.

Available on: Android

4. Runtastic
What I like about the app: If you can’t run physically with your buddy, you can do it virtually here. Connect with your friends and other fitness enthusiasts from the Runtastic family, challenge one another and get to the leaderboard.

If you feel lethargic and are procrastinating to keep to your fitness schedule, immerse yourself with Story Running. Find yourself in wonderland (yes, there’s music playing in the background to create such atmosphere) or motivation-land where you hear a cheerleader repeating, "keep going".

Sadly, to enjoy Training Plans engineered by fitness professionals, a small sum is required. These training plans range from losing weight to preparing for a marathon. Not sure how useful they are yet though.

Available on: Android and iOS

5. MyFitnessPal (Calorie Counter)
What I like about the app: Food tracking. MyFitnessPal has a gargantuan food database – over six million cuisines in its database. You can also scan barcodes to log food, log in restaurants’ menu, create your own recipes and most importantly, learn to make healthier food choices.
