Serving others brings out the finest in us and The Discovery of Personal Purpose In Leadership

•  Author Asha Bajaj

Canadian-Media: A review of Debra Atlas's book 'You Aren't Depression's Victim' is given by Asha Bajaj, editorial director, publisher, and marketing of Canadian-Media.

In her book 'You Aren't Depression's Victim', Debra Atlas empowers readers with uplifting messages and thought-provoking possibilities through her own experiences, pitfalls, and enlightenment.

Having lived through deep wells of depression in her life, Atlas learned to recognize the signs of oncoming depression and how to step back from its edge.

This teaching is available on our Munroe Global Media app and website. You can find this teaching and much more exclusive content on our Munroe Global Media platform.

​This book helps readers recognize depression, offering tools to help them step back before it hits them. It provides a philosophical and psychological analysis of the devastating state of depression.​

Atlas provides useful lessons on how to be grateful for the blessings in life and the importance of being kind and thoughtful to others in their times of need, all of which help ward off feelings of helplessness.

From childhood, Atlas felt like an odd person out with feelings of being not good enough and not belonging. From age 2, Atlas felt a deep sense of inadequacy and worthlessness. She kept her depression hidden from family and friends until the age of 14 when she attempted suicide. Family and friends never recognized the signs of her depression.

Through these revelations, Debra raises awareness in the world community about the signs of depression.

When Atlas faced an overwhelming emotional crisis, a chance meeting with a therapist and the therapy that followed became a lifeline that opened the door to life-changing insights and tools that helped her gain clarity, confidence, and equilibrium. Through hard work, Atlas discovered that we have a choice not to be a victim of depression, which unfolded her path to living a balanced and fulfilled life. ​

The book inspires readers in the thought process that it is not what we get from the community, rather what we give to it that is more fulfilling. This book must be read by readers of all ages as it provides positive alternatives to not being victimized by depression.

The use of quotes from spiritual leaders is proof of how Atlas applied spirituality in her life to navigate from the dark world of negativity to the brighter world of balance.

Atlas encourages readers to let go of shortcomings. Through her relations with family and friends, she unfolds the importance of being open to the advice and help of others which wards off loneliness, a leading cause of depression.

This book urges readers to shift their outlook as sometimes a change of perspective makes readers aware of the miracles already present in their lives.

'You Aren’t Depression’s Victim' reveals the importance of taking positive steps like enjoying nature and having regular workouts to enable readers to come out of the state of inaction during a depressive state. A change of scenario, change of actions, changes in thinking patterns, change in plans are all important factors towards stepping back from depression and finding balance in life.

4 Exercises For Bigger And Stronger Arms Using Pull Up Bar

• Author Anh Bui

Do you want to build those awesome big biceps? If your answer is yes, then you are in the correct place! We’ve limited it down to main 4 practice varieties for your most amazing outcome!

There are many people who think that biceps are directly targeted by the curls and the heavy weights. And body weight exercises like the chin up is an indirect method to hit your biceps and triceps. But it isn’t the case. As it has far more effect than could meet your eyes. Here are some of the moves that target tons of your arms muscle fibers and you will see that your arms pick up that attractive shape that you’ll always wanted.

To get the most out of your chin ups, you need to concentrate on the negative portion of the activity and perform it gradually and intentionally. Negative chin ups are the piece of the movement where you bring down your body and your muscles extend. Slower developments put more strain on your muscles, they likewise prompt more noteworthy muscle development. Ensure you keep up an appropriate shape all through the activity and adjust the activity to your wellness level to maintain a distance from any kind of damage.

THE CURL-FREE BICEPS WORKOUT

This workout combines pulling movements with various varieties of grips and a bit of directional change to hit every area of your arms. . Do each activity consecutively, then rest for 2 to 3 minutes, and finish four aggregate rounds.

Weighted Chinups, 6 reps

Take 3 seconds to bring down your body and 1 second to draw yourself up. To include weight, secure a plate to a weight belt, or utilize a weighted vest.

V-Grip Pulldowns, 12 reps

Connect a V-hold connection to the lat pull down station. Sit at the station with your middle almost upright and your arms straight. Get a handle on the handles with your palms confronting each other. Without moving your middle, pull the bar to your trunk, keeping your elbows near your body. Take 1 second to pull the weight and 3 seconds to return it to the position in the beginning.

Commando Pull ups 6 reps

Pull ups done with a wider, overhand grip work your biceps a little less than chin ups. Hence, it’s suggested that you do the commando pull ups where you do an overhand grasp with one hand and underhand hold with the other. Be mindful so as to do an equivalent number of reps while rotating the underhand and overhand grasp between hands to keep away from uneven muscle improvement.

Once more, attempt and concentrate on the descending bit of the development, performing it gradually, for best outcomes. Likewise with jaw ups, venturing up onto a case or a stool will help you do this.

Inclined Pull ups 12 reps:

The inclined pull up is a extraordinary exercise since it works the biceps and enables you to effortlessly alter it to your wellness level, by lifting or bringing down the bar level or the tallness at which you position your feet. Also, it puts no weight on your lower back so it’s an incredible contrasting option to a portion of alternate activities out there (simply ensure you keep legitimate frame all through the development!). On the off chance that you don’t have a bar near to, you can utilize the edge of a table to bolster yourself, the length of it doesn’t move and is sufficiently secure to bolster your weight without breaking.

When Choosing a Healthy Lifestyle Leads to Alienation and Exercise, Less Belly Fat Keeps You Out of Hospital, New Study Finds

 

When Choosing a Healthy Lifestyle Leads to Alienation

• Author Cass Boutilier

Oh, Covid. You've tossed us all upside-down. Like anything in life, we can focus on highlights or lowlights, and today I'm choosing to focus on one highlight: 

Scientists in Sweden analyzed health records in over 279,000 subjects finding a strong association with low fitness levels and higher belly fat with increased odds of severe infectious disease. From High Intensity Health

I've started strength training in January, and this is the longest I've stuck to a workout routine!

I'd like to think this recipe for success was equal parts 'motivation' and 'being home all the time'. Either way, I'm very proud of my progress and how I've been feeling, physically and mentally. (I said it before and I'll say it again - exercise is a mental-boosting process, which just happens to have physical benefits as well!)

Remember when you would rush home from school to show off the sticker you received on your work? My journey has felt a little like that, except instead of sharing my accomplishments with those I love, I share them with...strangers. Now, it's not as sad or unfortunate as it sounds. These strangers are people who are part of public and private forums that I've joined on platforms like Facebook, for instance. They are on their own wellness journey, we share similar goals and values, we motivate one another. It's really quite a constructive relationship - I just don't happen to know them personally and we will likely never meet.

So why do I turn to strangers?

My wellness/fitness tribe will ask questions such as, "How do you get up so early in the morning? I really want to, too! Inspire me!"

My personal tribe of people?

"You're crazy for getting up so early."

"But it's the weekend. Don't you take breaks on the weekend?"

Don't get me wrong; everybody has their own set of values and interests, and some people simply enjoy sleeping in. I think part of the disconnect lies in the fact that people assume wellness is a Monday to Friday position, when in reality, it's a lifestyle.

A style of life.

It's meant to be ongoing.

It's not a summer camp for kids, or a 21 day diet. It's your norm.

So, where does the alienation come in?

In my personal experience, it slowly trickled in when people learned that I was serious about incorporating wellness into my life. It started as, "Wow! Good for you!" then gradually transitioned into less-positive remarks like, "It must be nice", or "Well, that's easy for you to do, because you have/don't have (blank)..."

Which is why I want to throw a reminder in here:

You are not responsible for how other people feel about themselves.

If people are feeling threatened by your journey, that's their feeling to feel.

If they compare themselves to you, that's their comparison to feel.

How people perceive you is none of your business.

Back to the main point...

Even though I was still maintaining my social life with my friends (where and when covid permitted), I was still chastised for my decisions. I would eat the same greasy burger as a friend, but because I chose a salad as a side instead of fries, that was something for them to comment on.

I would still have a few drinks with friends, but because I would have 3 or 4 and stop rather than having 6 or 8, that was something for them to comment on.

I would still meet in the park for a socially-distanced visit, but because I would leave at 7 p.m. rather than 9 or 10 p.m. (to support my early morning routine), that was something for them to comment on.

My family? Same.

When I would bid everyone good night during our family video chats, I would be met with a thunder of, "What? It's only 10 p.m.! Oh, Boo - you suck!" ('Boo' being my childhood nickname, not the expression they used, although they sure could have!)

Most times, I just shrugged off the comments.

Sure, I could have defended them with health articles and statistics and the whole shebang, but if a person is not receptive to what you're saying at the start of your conversation, they likely won't become receptive throughout.

But the toughest part?

I actually thought about dropping my healthy practices and routines so I could fit back in, and "gain my spot back in the friend group."

Wait, what?

It's true. Looking back, I am beyond glad I chose my wellness over other people. It sounds selfish, but hear me out:

You - YOUR BODY - is the only one guaranteed to be around for the entirety of your life.

So when something makes you feel good, energizes you, makes you wanna dance and high-five yourself, you have to do it.

Despite the pushback from peers.

And you have to remember that you're doing it for you.

As for my friends? Yep, I still have them, and we still share some similar interests. When it comes to wellness, however, I have other people, other avenues, I choose to share my accomplishments with. I know we've always been taught not to talk to strangers, but sometimes you need to move out of your circle to find your tribe.

Cass began her self-guided health and fitness journey in response to being perpetually underweight during her youth. Coming from the 'rarely talked about' opposite end of the body-shaming scale, Cass seeks to share her personal development and growth with others who can benefit from her story.

3 Actions from Southern Utah's Highly Ranked System

• By Jacob
 

---

Last season, Southern Utah had one of the best offensive teams in the country according to Synergy Sports. Synergy lists them as the #10 ranked offensive team. 

Southern Utah was also marked as “excellent” in zone offense. 

Head Coach Todd Simon came from the high school level → then worked his way up to college level → and now he is the head coach of Southern Utah. 

Coach Simon’s philosophy against a zone defense is to dictate. To do this he uses many different actions within his zone offense.

Three of the main actions Southern Utah uses are: Inside Ball Screen Overload, Outside Ball Screen and Corner Action. 

#1 Inside Ball Screen Overload

Coach Simon’s zone offense is usually initiated by a wing entry then a throwback to get the defense moving. 

After the throwback, the big man comes up to set an inside slot ball screen. 

The best shooter will be located in the opposite slot. 

 The wing then sprints through to create an overload.......Keep reading and watch the videos......

Tactical PE. 12 Effective Ways To Countering Fear and Active Self Protection Featuring: Babushka Gets The Drop On Armed Robber

 

• Author Joey Ward

We can take action when faced with fear versus allowing fear to get the best of us. The following coping tools can be implemented immediately whenever you are faced with fear.

Video from Active Self Protection

Identify the Fear In order to deal with our fears during times of crisis, we must first understand what those fears are. Demystify fear and identify whether it is realistic or not to make it less scary and more manageable.

Think Positively

Positive thinking is a way to regain control during times of distress and uncertainty when fear tries to dominate. Choose to not focus on potential negative outcomes. Make a conscious pivot away from the negative source/stressor and towards a more positive focus.

Relaxation Techniques

Relaxation practices improve mood, reduce stress hormones, slow breathing, decrease heart rate, and reduce frustration, all of which are associated with fear. Relaxation techniques include yoga, massage, aromatherapy, music, and art, among others.

Breathe

Breathing helps you regain a sense of calm in the midst of fear. Breathing offers the opportunity to take the time to pause, refocus, and process what is happening and what you are feeling. Be Patient Fear can cause irrational thoughts and poor decision-making.

Take some time to just sit with your feelings so you can realize that the fear isn’t valid, help you reason through the fear and develop a solution to adequately address it.

Self-Care

Self-care is a way to address the mental and emotional impacts fear can have on the body. Self-care is about prioritizing the protection of well-being and happiness, particularly during periods of stress induced by fear. Methods of self-care include healthy lifestyle choices such as diet and exercise, meditation and other forms of relaxation, stress management, and journaling.

Get Informed

Fear is often fueled by the unknown. What we don’t know seems to cause us to panic and think about worst-case scenario situations, especially during a crisis. Manage fear with information from reputable sources. Once we understand a situation or scenario, we are in a much better situation to address it.

Gratitude

Being grateful can serve as a powerful means of refocusing attention and energy when in the midst of fearful situations. Gratitude can ground you in positive thoughts when fear tries to overwhelm and override. Humor In crisis situations we are often only surrounded by the negativity and severity of the situation at hand. It is hard to remain afraid when you’re laughing.

Exercise

A little physical activity can produce a physical response in the body that is great for fighting against fear. When we engage in any kind of physical activity, there is a release of endorphins that cause an analgesic effect within the body.

Exercise reduces stress and boosts inner calm and mental clarity.

Meditate

Meditation can be used to combat fear by intentionally choosing to focus on something other than the trigger causing the fear and regularly engaging in the practice as a means of redirecting and gaining control of your thoughts

Through meditation, you can manage and calm your fears and thus manage distressing situations.

Talk it Out

Talking about your fears helps you to either realize the fears are not realistic or at the very least allows you to vent, instead of letting those fears fester in your mind. In talking through fears, we can often come up with solutions to address the core problem.

 During his 20-year career in major league baseball, hall-of-famer Tony Gwynn won eight batting titles, seven Silver Slugger awards and was a fifteen time All-Star. His lifetime batting average of .338 ranks him as one of the greatest hitters in history, and his five Gold Gloves prove that he was as productive on the field as he was at the plate. As head coach at San Diego State, Gwynn led the Aztecs to a regular season title and was named 2004 Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year.

Now, Sportskool offers all of Tony Gwynn's collected wisdom in this Baseball course. Join Tony and his award-winning coaching staff as they break the game down to its fundamentals, so you can build your game from the ground up. 

Whether you're just getting started or ready to take your game to the next level, look no further than Baseball Fundamentals with Tony Gwynn. Book this course.....  

Look at Tony Gwynn's 1997 season, his 17th in the majors, for proof of the legend's longevity and dominance. Then 37 years old, Gwynn put together career highs in hits, doubles, home runs, and RBI for the arguably best season of his career. Arguably. He only hit .372 that season. And Gwynn did bat .394 in a strike-shortened 1994 season, flirting with the first .400 season since Ted Williams hit .406 in 1941. So analyzing one season of the San Diego Padre is foolish. Gwynn's one of the few athletes to never have an off year. Never. Nothing even close. His string of dominance is almost unparalleled in baseball or any sport. That's why Gwynn's largely considered one of the greatest hitters of all-time, perhaps even the greatest living one. Analyzing Gwynn's batting exploits groups him with names like Cobb, Williams, Rogers Hornsby, Tris Speaker and other icons from more than a century ago. 

Born May 9, 1960 in Los Angeles, California Retired following 2001 season with a total of 3,141 hits and a career batting average of .338 (both 17th all-time) Batting titles in 1984, 1987-89 and 1994-97 No. 19 jersey retired by the Padres After batting .289 in limited action in 1982, Gwynn hit .300 for 19 consecutive seasons, surpassing Wagner's National League record set from 1897-1913 Hit .350 or better from 1993-1997, becoming only the fourth player in history to top the .350 mark in five consecutive seasons (Cobb, Hornsby and Al Simmons) .394 average in 1994 was the highest average in the National League since 1930 Struck out only 434 times in 10,232 plate appearances over 20 seasons Five Gold Glove Awards. Only two players achieved 3,000 hits in fewer games than Gwynn; five needed fewer at bats 15-time National League All-Star selection. Book this course.....

Christian Ministry – Its Impact on the Local Community and The Rock Almighty Devotional, Praise, and Worship with Stryper

 

Christian Ministry – Its Impact on the Local Community

• Author Jeremy Smith

The simple definition of a Christian is a believer and follower of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Ministry means "service." Therefore, the very words "Christian ministry" means to serve others in ways that Jesus Christ taught. Christian ministry’s foundation is to serve others who are in economic, social, spiritual and physical poverty.

Jesus Christ set the pattern for selfless service to others. Jesus helped everyone in need whether they believed he was God’s son or not. He met the needs of others whether they were rich or poor, men or women, black, red, or yellow. He especially loved children and referred to them many times as having the ideal minds and hearts that God seeks in adults.

Today we get a heavy dose of inspiration on our individual missions through the gospel delivered by the unstoppable Tim Tebow. Get more inspirational material from this athlete and man of God here. - https://apple.co/3EipRuA -

Then we rock the message home with the unmistakable sound of Stryper's love song to Jesus. Get more here - https://apple.co/3bd6eYm - Warning: listening to the TRA devo could be bad for the devil's health. As if he had any! LOL :)

One does not have to go far to find people in need of assistance. There are Christian ministries in the US that serve others, especially children, in other countries. However, there are families with children living next door or in the local church who are in need of help.

There is a Christian ministry available in the local community to help meet needs in every area of life. Where there is a need for the basics of food, shelter and clothing one will find a ministry meeting those needs. When a child needs social interaction in a safe environment with caring people a Christian organization is available to help. Sports leagues such as basketball, football, soccer and others that provide this safe environment are just one way to meet the social needs of youth. Spiritual needs of children are met through established children and youth groups, Sunday school, Bible studies and tutoring programs to name just a few.

Most Christian ministries do not qualify a family to make sure there is a need unless they are backed financially by government or private funding. Most are free to help anyone who says they have a need free of charge and free of any income requirements. The ministry can operate as mandated by Jesus Christ when it operates from total devotion for God and love for other people.

Even though ministering to spiritual needs is important and the mission to bring others to the knowledge of Jesus Christ is a priority it is useless to try to address spiritual needs to people who are without food, shelter and clothing. Faith without good deeds is dead. A show of love, concern and meeting the basic needs of people go much further in bringing about a spiritual change than preaching a sermon (James 2:14-17).

The Black Knights have enjoyed success over the past several seasons with a .654 winning percentage, including back-to-back wins over Air Force in 2017 and 2018, three-straight wins over Navy (2016, 2017, 2018), and three consecutive bowl-game victories (2016, 2017, 2018).

The Black Knights became the first three-time winner of the Armed Forces Bowl as well that season after they routed Houston, 70-14, on Dec. 22.
