Playing Video Games Daily Meets Your Physical Activity Goals

We are at the halfway point of the #GETActive30 Day Challenge, and those that are participating are getting tremendous results.  For those that aren’t familiar with the challenge, we have committed to 30 minutes of physical activity everyday in the month of May for National Physical Fitness and Sports Month.  Through the #GETActive30 Facebook Group we have been able to encourage one another, learn from one another, and share our daily activities.  One common, and convenient, activity many of us have been doing is playing video games.  Yes, playing video games has become a regular part of our physical activities!

Ultimate Blog Challenge Wrap Up

There is nothing like accomplishing a goal or meeting a challenge!  For the month of April I took and completed the Ultimate Blog Challenge!  30 posts in 30 days!!!  I joined many other bloggers, and committed to doing this along with sharing my posts via Facebook and Twitter, and commenting on the other UBC blogger’s posts.  From the beginning I knew it wouldn’t be easy, just as I knew there would be great benefits and lessons learned for me and my readers.  As the challenge wraps up today I’d like to share some things that have come as a result of me taking the UBC, share what I learned while taking the UBC, and share what my next steps will be as a result of the UBC.

Whiteboard Quote of the Day – Just Do It.

Not much needs to be said about today’s Whiteboard Quote of the Day.  Nike said A LOT with 3 very little words.  In May for National Physical Fitness and Sports Month (NPFSM) I am challenging myself, and all who want to join me, in completing 30 minutes of physical activity every day, called the #GETActive30 Day Challenge.  I learned about NPFSM Sunday morning at church, and by Sunday afternoon I made the commitment to myself.

The REAL Secret to Success and Achievement

I am not a big fan of the film “The Secret”, which was one of the biggest selling DVDs the year it was released (2006).  I do believe that our thoughts are powerful, as everything that was ever created by man, or woman, originated in our minds.  However, once a thought is conceived some action has to be taken.  Many times the action(s) have to be done over and over again, in spite of difficulty or opposition.  This to me is the The REAL Secret to Success and Achievement…

One Thing That Ends ALL Your Excuses…

I hate excuses.  It bothers me to the core when I hear people making excuses, and that includes hearing myself make excuses, as I am not immune to them.  I preach and teach in my household all the time “unsuccessful people make excuses…successful people make it happen!”  I have found one guaranteed way to get rid of any excuse.

Eliminating ALL excuses!
