As human beings, we’ve been created to form relationships with others. As such, we all want to be liked and accepted. We feel better about ourselves when others respect us and seek out our company; however, sometimes that can work against us. Some people crave approval from others so much that they’re willing to do anything to get it; the danger is that associating with the wrong kinds of people increases the chances of us making bad decisions that can get us in trouble.
Anyone can be affected by hanging out with friends with bad attitudes. Spending time with the right people can help us keep a positive attitude. Spending time with the wrong ones can turn our optimism into pessimism. “Do not be misled: ‘bad company corrupts good character’” (1 Corinthians 15:33, NIV). Others’ mindsets are contagious, for good or bad, and can color our thinking.
Allowing others to influence our thought processes affects what we think and, eventually, what we do. We’ve all heard about individuals who seemed to have everything going for them, then fell in with the wrong crowd, made a bad decision, and suffered the consequences. Sometimes it’s hard to discern who we should avoid, and the pressure to fit in can make it worse. Without God guiding us in this area, we can easily make a mistake. “One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin,but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother” (Proverbs 18:24, NIV).
The Holy Spirit is that friend. He never makes mistakes judging others’ character, and He knows the intent of people’s hearts even when they don’t speak a word. He wants only the best for us and is always ready to steer us away from potential trouble, if we let Him. The key is listening to Him and paying attention to what He says. “Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul” (Proverbs 22:24, 25).
It can be tempting to gravitate toward people who have toxic ways of thinking. When we feel drawn to them, listening to that still, clear voice inside keeps us on track. That voice is the Holy Spirit, Himself, living in us. This is one way God speaks to us to give us direction in forming relationships; He shows us the true friends who genuinely care for us and have our best interests at heart.
Real friends are gifts from God, and He blesses us with them as one way of showing His love. They’re honest with us and we can be ourselves with them, knowing they’ll accept us even when we’re at our worst. When we make a mistake they point it out to us, but do it in love. These kind of relationships, in which we encourage and build each other up, are strong and healthy. “Therefore encourage (admonish, exhort) one another and edify (strengthen and build up) one another, just as you are doing” (1 Thessalonians 5:11, AMPC).
Relying on our own judgment in this area can leave us open to making too many mistakes. However, trusting God to lead us to the right people, the ones who truly care for us in good times and bad, puts us in a win-win situation. “As iron sharpens iron,so a friend sharpens a friend” (Proverbs 27:17, NLT). Friends sent from God keep us on the right path in life. Listening to Him in this area keeps us in the right company.

Summer is right around the corner. All the gyms in your area
are filling back up after the hiatus since January. Your coworkers,
family members, and friends all tell you about the latest diet they are
on. They have gone Vegan, Keto, or are have begun a 21-Day Fix, and will
not stop bragging about how much weight they have lost.
Here you are,
trying your best to make smart choices, going to the gym when you find
the time, and yet nothing seems to be happening. Your clothes fit the
same, your energy levels are the same, and you are frustrated. You begin
to think, maybe I need to get on a diet as well.
Believe me when I say this; you are not alone. After being an elite
health & fitness coach for years, I have heard and seen it all. I've
witnessed every last trend, fad, diet, etc. but most of all, client
frustrations. I have seen people go on x or y diet for a month or two,
lose a lot of weight, and then gain it all back and some a few months
later. Have you seen this before too? Maybe this happened to you as
well.
As I said before, you are not alone. Psychologyofeating.com states
that 95% of all dieters will regain the weight they lose within one
year. Not to mention, an estimated 45 million Americans go on a diet
each year, and Americans spend $33 billion each year on weight loss
products. Yet, nearly two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese,
according to the Boston Medical Center. Something is not right, and is
not working.
So what is the answer? For starters, "dieting" is not the answer. To
get fit, lose weight, and keep it off for good, a complete lifestyle
change must be implemented. This means the way we eat, the way we
exercise, and the way we sleep must be harmonious with how we live. We
must think of eating healthy foods as a way to have energy. We must
think of exercising as a way to keep our bodies strong, functioning at
optimal capacity, and improving our heart health…you know, the thing
that keeps us alive! Lastly, we must think of our sleeping habits as a
way for our body to shut down and undergo all the processes that we want
it to, like you guessed it, lose weight! (Seriously, get to bed- it's
important).
If dieting hasn't worked for you yet, or maybe it has, but you'd like
a more reasonable approach long-term, start by changing your lifestyle.
Implement walks after dinner or on lunch break. Hire a trainer if you
have the means to do so. Start clearing the fridge and pantry of any
food product that has more than 3 ingredients (you will be shocked).
Lastly, start shutting down electronics and getting to bed an hour
earlier each night. Small changes lead to big changes over time. Stay
consistent and realize this process will take longer than that
short-term diet, but will reward you in the long run.

You want to lose weight but the diets you have tried so far have not worked? Then maybe it's time to change your method!
Good news: I am against overly restrictive diets, I encourage my
clients to change their eating habits and exercise, and this is the only
method with which I have obtained lasting results.
The bad news is that my method does not allow for rapid weight loss,
such as "losing 10 kilos in 1 week". I prefer a slower weight loss but
on the long term without a yo-yo effect.
So which slimming programme should you choose: those that recommend taking your time or those that promise immediate results?
What if I told you that it was possible to lose weight quickly and
well, even allowing yourself a few deviations from time to time... The
trick is to have a programme and to be well informed.
➔ Nutrition programme
➔ Sport Program
3 fundamentals for a successful diet
1- Motivation
The first prerequisite for losing weight is to be motivated. Whether
it is about your diet or sport, you will always have the urge to flinch.
At these times, remind yourself why you are doing this and what your
motivation is. The first week can sometimes be difficult but you'll see
that the first kilo lost is encouraging!
2- Realistic goals
Set yourself goals and stick to them, BUT don't set your goals too
high - that's the best way to lose motivation. A goal of losing 1 kilo
per week is already very good! And you don't need to get on the scales
twice a day to look for progress. Once a week is enough, on a fixed day,
for example every Sunday. And if the weight loss is less than you
expected, don't panic, it happens!
3- Go gradually
Take it one step at a time, don't go from nothing to nothing
overnight. The human body is sensitive and needs time to adapt; it does
not like changes that are too sudden. This advice applies to both
physical exercise and diet. If you don't do any sport, don't force
yourself to do 1 hour a day every day.
Three types of body fat
There are three types of adult body fat: subcutaneous fat (between
the skin and the abs), visceral fat (behind the abs, around the internal
organs) and body fat depending on the sex of the individual. Each of
these types requires a specific control strategy.
Visceral fat
As the name suggests, visceral fat is mainly stored in the abdominal
cavity, pushing the stomach forward. The more obese a person is, the
more of this type of fat they have. And it is precisely the visceral fat
that gives the individual an apple shape.
Cardio exercises are the most effective against this type of fat. All
those who claim to have succeeded in losing weight considerably by
running have mainly got rid of visceral fat. If you are able to pull in
your stomach, you have little of this type of fat.
Subcutaneous fat
Subcutaneous fat accounts for about 40-60% of body fat. This is the
fat you can feel under the skin. Aerobic exercise has less impact on the
removal of subcutaneous fat. Apart from that, one should follow a
low-calorie diet.
On average you can lose 400 to 700 g of this type of fat per week(4),
which is equivalent to a deficit of 500 to 900 kcal per day. The body
is unable to burn this fat faster. If you reduce your calorie intake
even more, you will mainly lose muscle and not fat.
Fat in the lower abdomen and hips
The third type of fat is the one that is defined by our gender. This
fat is located on the lower abdomen in men, and on the hips and buttocks
in women. The fight against this type of fat is possible if you only
have a certain amount of subcutaneous fat.
Unfortunately, this fat is the most problematic, since the body uses
it last, after getting rid of visceral and subcutaneous fat. The
strategy to combat this fat requires complex solutions.
NUTRITION: CHANGE YOUR EATING HABITS
Re-learn how to eat
The best way to lose weight sustainably is by changing your eating
habits. This will depend on where you are starting from and what you are
currently eating. If you regularly drink soft drinks or alcohol and eat
fast food, you can imagine that these are the first things to banish
when trying to lose weight.
Generally speaking, the first thing to do is to reduce your
consumption of sugars and fats, and eat more fruit and vegetables. It is
necessary to know how to choose the least energetic foods, I advise you
to learn to read labels and thus know the approximate nutritional value
of common foods.
If you find it difficult to choose your food and understand the
labels, I invite you to try the Yuka application. I did an article on it
that you can check out, but in a few words it allows you to scan all
your food products and get a quality index based on its nutritional
properties and sugar/fat/salt content.
Choice of foods and cooking methods and seasonings
Foods to choose
One thing I have noticed with my clients is that they do not eat
enough fish. Fish is very healthy, a good source of protein and
generally low in fat. It's definitely an ally in your diet, so try to
eat fish 2 to 3 times a week. Yes, but fish is expensive; it's true but
there are always ways to find cheaper fish, go to Lidl for example, fish
is much cheaper, or buy it frozen. Just avoid breaded fish
For meats, prefer lean meats and poultry. Remember that you don't
have to eat meat (or fish) at every meal, you can replace it with other
sources of protein such as eggs, legumes (soya, lentils), quinoa, etc.
Vegetables: as much as you like! Vegetables and raw vegetables are
recommended at every meal. Fruit is also highly recommended but limited
because of its sugar content. Prefer low-sugar fruit.
Recommended cooking methods
Meat: grilled or roasted;
Fish: grilled, baked, microwaved or in foil;
Vegetables: steamed, stewed or microwaved
Seasoning and sauces
Add flavour to your meals but use the least fatty seasonings and
sauces possible: you can use extra virgin olive oil, lemon, soy sauce,
herbs and spices. Of course, avoid all ketchup/mayonnaise, and use as
little butter as possible.
Eat unprocessed foods
A simple tip for healthy eating is to avoid processed products, rich
in food additives. This technique, used for example in the Paleo diet,
consists of favouring fresh products and abandoning the "ready-made"
foods that you find in the supermarket: packets of cakes, tins,
ready-made meals, etc. Basically, anything that does not come from a
farm or a small village. In short, anything that does not come directly
from nature. In addition to being very healthy for the body, you will
find many benefits other than weight loss: reduced risk of disease,
better sleep, feeling of well-being, increased energy, etc.
If your budget allows it, choose organic farming, which is richer in
nutrients and more nourishing than the processed and impoverished
products of the food industry
Eat to your heart's content
Contrary to what we have always been told, dieting does not have to
be synonymous with not eating enough. Even if some methods such as
fasting recommend skipping a meal during the day, I think that as long
as you only eat healthy food, there is no reason to deprive yourself and
not eat enough (without excess either, it's like everything else). You
won't get fat by eating green vegetables!
Reducing quantities too drastically and not reaching our daily
calorie requirements presents a real risk of nutritional deficiencies.
Our body needs to be supplied with nutrients (proteins, carbohydrates,
fats, fibre, vitamins and minerals). That's why it's important to eat
your 5 fruits and vegetables a day. Tip: don't hesitate to eat your
vegetables frozen if you don't have the time to prepare them, contrary
to some preconceived ideas they are very good! Don't confuse frozen
vegetables with frozen ready meals.
If you have vitamin and mineral deficiencies, you can make up for them with food supplements in the form of courses.
The risks of a quick diet
Even though we're always eager to see results, the sustainable diet
is the most effective. If you still want to try a magic diet to lose
weight quickly, here are a few things that might (hopefully) make you
not want to:
Guaranteed yo-yo effect: A diet that is too deprived conditions your
metabolism for the next "attack". As it is no longer used to receiving
fats, at the first deviation or return to normal it will store more fats
than before to face possible future periods of dieting. Result: you get
fatter. When you see that you have gained weight again, you go back on a
diet, and so on. You never get out of it.
With a drastic diet you will not provide your body with its daily
needs in vitamins and minerals, which will result in increased fatigue
and a decrease in your immune system (you will fall ill more often,
etc.).
Deficiencies make your nails and hair more fragile.
Loss of muscle mass: Even if the aim is to burn fat quickly, your
body will often burn muscle mass first. The result: you lose your shape
(=flat buttocks). To avoid this, you need to eat a balanced diet rich in
protein and do sports to build up muscle mass.
You are more prone to stress and psychological problems.
obviously, it is better to follow a training course which will be much more complete than my article
it has been proven that using a paid subscription increases the
probability of succeeding in your diet by 45% (obviously if this
subscription is effective), which is why I recommend this one which has
been tested and approuved by me: bit.ly/control-your-health
have a nice day and hope that this article has very been very useful to you!
I am a freelance writer who works in medicine and I

This may sound nitpicky, but I've lately convinced myself that I don't really like the term “mass shooter” to describe when someone goes into a building intending to kill many people. Let me explain why.
First off, I'm a shooter. I go to the range regularly to go shooting. The term “mass shooter” or “shooting spree” is not good because there is a negative connotation there that we cannot ignore. That negative connotation attached to the word “shooter” or “shooting.”
I'm a shooter who goes shooting at the gun range on a weekly basis. In fact, I'm scheduled to go tomorrow.
Do these people think of themselves as shooters? Or do they think of themselves as killers, murderers?
That's meant as a rhetorical question because I don't believe any of us who haven't killed innocent people could know. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think these killers consider it “target practice.” In other words, they don't go into the building to hone their shooting skills.
Instead, what their motive is, to at least some degree, is murder. Death. Killing. Therefore, they shoot, but only to kill. So, let's call an apple an apple, an orange an orange, and a grape a grape. Let's call these people what they are …
Instead of “mass shooters,” I say it's better to say they're mass killers. Or mass murderers.
We can consider anyone who goes to the gun range, a “shooter.” But what we should not be confused for, is a killer or murderer. Keep reading......
Personal Development: The Foundation of Your Success in Music
Personal development is the rock to the foundation of marketing your
gift in music.
Communication skills, how you deal with people, willing
to study and improve skills are a big part of personal development. The
Contemporary Christian Music industry refers to this issue as "Artist
Development".
Further, increasing these communication skills plays a crucial role.
No miracle marketing wonders will help you until you invest the time to gain skills in dealing with other people.
For example, if you can interact with people and learn to understand
their needs, interests, strengths, and goals,you will be far more
successful in introducing them to what you have to offer with your music
than someone who just tries to "sell themselves."
If you can work on understanding people and focusing on helping them
first, you will go far in life whether it's with your music or some
other career.
To gain these personal development skills is as simple as turning off
the television and opening your mind to incredible resources from
books, to CD's, DVD's, Webinars, Conference calls, and even special
seminars.
Here are some steps for you to begin as you learn how to enhance your
skills with powerful resources on personal development available today:
Read!
The resources in the form of books to read are unlimited. Of course,
there's no greater book on wisdom, strategy, business or ministry than
the Bible.
Here are some others that are well worth recommending:
"How To Win Friends And Influence People" by Dale Carengie
"The Everyday Visionary" by Jesse Duplantis
"My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers
"Spirit Driven Success" by Dani Johnson
That list could go on. For more ideas, check the Market Research page here.
Learn from the best!
Your level of income often reflects your level of personal development.
Learn from those who are already successful in the areas you want to
excel. If it's a Christian musician, check out some of the legends
who've been at this industry for years and keep moving forward!
Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Steven Curtis Chapman, are just a few
who come to mind who have been successful over a long period of time.
They had tremendous skills. Not just musical talent, but also incredible
relational skills.
When it comes to amazing talent coupled with being an entrepreneur, Bill Gaither is the "grand daddy" of them all.
Gaither founded the Gaither Music Company which performs the
functions of record company, concert booking, television production,
copyright management, retail store, recording studio and telemarketing
for the Gaither empire. Gaither also runs a retail center called Gaither
Family Resources.
Gaither, and his wife Gloria, have given back to the Contemporary
Christian music industry in many ways. For one, they helped to prolong
the careers of those who came before them. Mark Lowry, Sandi Patty,
Carman, Steve Green, Amy Grant, are some of a long list of artists who
either got their start or became popular while touring with the
Gaithers.
Invest to gain skills
One of the best investments you could make, not only for your music
career, but also personally would be to see Success Coach and trainer
Dani Johnson. I can think of no greater coach when it comes to personal
development.
I personally have attended two of her "First Steps To Success"
Seminars that have had a tremendous impact on my personal development
and helped improve my business.
I believe she is anointed and God has raised her up for such a time
as this. The foundation of her teachings and principles are biblically
based. In addition, you won't hear anything from Dani that she hasn't
personally used or done herself. Her track record of wealth is well
documented. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands she and her husband
give yearly to powerful Christian ministries. Dani walks the talk!
Some of her clients not only include successful business people, but
also producers, actors, artists, Christian musicians...and even a Rocket
Scientist!
Be authentic. Be real. Be You.
Finally, you have to be yourself. This is so crucial. I can remember
being a young 16-year-old when my mom dragged me to an Amy Grant
concert. What captivated me and made me really listen to her music was
how down to earth she was and honest.
I remember that concert evening when she had decided to play this
song she had just written. She dug in on the piano and was singing her
heart out with her hands all over the keyboard. Suddenly, in the middle
of the most dramatic part of the tune, she froze. She couldn't remember
the words or the music! She looked out into the gasping audience, gave
that endearing smile, and went on with the song picking up where she
left off.
That's Amy. She is the same whether she is in her kitchen cooking a meal or on stage singing to thousands.
This idea of being who you really are reminds me of something said on
American Idol from one of the "stars" helping the aspiring contestants.
Kenny Rogers was explaining the key to being successful now, and for
years to come, as his illustrious career has proven. He said there are
three things to consider:
1)Who and what other people say and think you are.
2)Who you think and say you are.
3)Who you really ARE, regardless of what you or others think.
The closer you get those three together, the greater chance you have of being successful for a long time, he said.

Trouble is part of life. We all face it eventually, but how we respond to it often determines the outcome. The natural tendency is a knee-jerk reaction according to the world’s mindset of fear, panic, or dismay. However, as God’s people, we’ve been empowered to think differently; refusing to let trouble move us gives us victory over it.
We don’t have to react fearfully when we find ourselves in a situation; instead, we can go on the offensive and deliberately respond in a way most people wouldn’t expect. Trouble is the devil’s attempt to instill fear in us, but choosing to be cheerful in the face of adversity frustrates and defeats him. The apostle Paul had plenty of reason to fear after being arrested for preaching the Gospel of Grace and finding himself in the middle of a murderous mob. After being put in prison, he received direction from Jesus. “And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome” (Acts 23:11).
Paul refused to let dangerous situations intimidate him. During his ministry when he finally was able to set sail to Italy, his boat was caught in a tempest that threatened to sink it. Instead of giving in to fear, he chose to agree with the Word of God. “And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship. For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me” (Acts 27:22-25). Paul’s confidence stemmed from the knowledge that God’s Word is the ultimate truth, and that nothing can overcome it or change it.
It’s significant that Paul’s exhortation to be of good cheer accompanied the commandment not to fear. Most people fear trouble because of its potential to harm and bring destruction but, because believers are in Jesus, trouble is powerless to hurt us. “And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him… There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” (1 John 4:16, 18). We don’t have to be afraid, because our heavenly Father protects us and delivers us from bad situations.
None of us are exempt from trouble, but we defeat it when we respond supernaturally. During His earthly ministry, Jesus repeatedly told others to cheer up in the midst of a situation (Matthew 9:2; Mark 6:47-50; Luke 8:43-48, NKJV; John 16:33). Responding in this manner might feel strange and uncomfortable in the natural, but lining up our thinking with God’s Word changes everything.
We can completely trust that God will bring us out of whatever issue we’re having, no matter how gloomy it looks, because He always honors the trust we place in Him. A cheerful response is a powerful weapon against the enemy. When we do this in faith, we position ourselves to receive supernatural protection.
