Step Forward with Confidence and Believe You're Amazing!
by Jill Taylor
In my anti-aging Ebook, "Twelve Strategies for Healthy Skin at Any Age", I spoke of changing our thoughts and what we focus on. If we are constantly thinking about how old we're getting and how bad we feel, we will manifest those things. This applies to not only staying young, but to being healthy and feeling great as well. If we look in the mirror and give thanks for staying young and healthy, and feeling great, we are more likely to do just that!
We can start by changing our self-talk, which will lead us to changing our self-image, which will uplift our confidence.
How we talk to others also affects our confidence. Speaking encouragement and lifting up others increases our confidence. Review your last week. How many times did you encourage someone, provide a place where someone could build their confidence, and let someone know how awesome they are? I challenge you to increase the number of times you encourage others by at least 5 in the next week and see where your confidence is.
Helping someone feel good about him or herself can be as simple as a warm smile, a compliment, or a thank you (verbally or hand-written). When was the last time you thanked your loved ones for just being a part of your life? Have you recognized or complimented the people you work with lately? Far too many people go through life feeling neither recognized or appreciated. Providing a place where others can build their own confidence gives you a better life. And as you give to others, your confidence increases and soon you look and feel younger and healthier.
And did you know high self-esteem motivates you to live a productive and healthy life? Those lacking self-esteem are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, excessive anger, chronic pain, weak immune systems, and a variety of other distressing physical and emotional symptoms, all of which accelerate the aging process.
We are naturally drawn to confident people. Being confident creates successes in all areas of our life. Imagine what it would be like to have people coming up wanting to talk to you, simply because you are so confident you automatically make an impression as being someone different. Imagine how it feels to radiate a beautiful presence that attracts people to you.
When we feel good about ourselves and our confidence is high, we are more likely to recognize our value to the world and deem ourselves as worthy of good self care. One action feeds the other – good self care feeds our confidence and enhanced confidence feeds our desire to take better care of ourselves. The result: feel better, look better, stay young!
On a physical level, what can you do to treat your amazing self as you deserve to be treated? For a simple, delicious starter, you can feed your body with the powerful anti-aging fuel of Ningxia Red. Power your body with the super nutrition of the ultra antioxidant Ningxia wolfberry superfood. Give yourself the gift of health and energy from the inside and radiate confidence and youthfulness on the outside.
NingXia Red and amazing, sustained energy "Every morning, I prepare a tonic for my son and myself for a stuffy nose or stuffy head, using NingXia Red.
Here's the recipe: 1 oz. NingXia Red, 1 oz. water; 6 drops Citrus Fresh, 2 drops Thieves, 1 drop peppermint
If we wake up with a stuffy nose or stuffy head, we are cleared up within 5 minutes after this drink. We can feel the energy and it lasts throughout the day. The citrus oils are very stimulating and refreshing, and the NingXia Red is a great way to give my son a powerful infusion of nutrients he does not always get from his diet. The peppermint really wakes up the senses, helps my son concentrate with his school work, homework, etc. The Thieves is a powerful immune system activator and booster. This drink is a variation of a drink called 'Kick In The Pants' I had at the Young Living Grand Convention in 2009 in Minneapolis at the NingXia Red bar :-)" – Nate Stevens
Great eyesight via NingXia Red "Because of NingXia Red which has 18 amino acids and 21 trace minerals I no longer need prescription eye wear. I have worn glasses for 50 years. NingXia Red is enhanced with cancer-protective essential oils of Lemon and Orange." -David Bobst
Diabetes – blood sugar level lowered "I have a friend who wanted to try NingXia Red (which rates 363 on the super ORAC scale) to see if it would help him feel any better than he did while drinking his brand (which rates 1.2 on the super ORAC scale). He is diabetic and wants to maintain the health he still has, so he drinks 3 one ounce 'shots' of NingXia Red per day. When he ordered his second bottle I asked him if he noticed a difference and he said his blood sugar level has been 12 – 15 points lower every morning since he switched to NingXia Red." -Brenda Gast
Appetite less, energy level up "When I got the Ningxia juice from a friend I thought nothing of her comment that I was going to really like the drink. I have tried a lot of alternative healthy juices and this was just one more to add to the list. The first week I noticed my energy level was up and my appetite was less. Being over 50 I sometimes nibble. The NingXia drink changed my nibbling and I just felt great. I don't want to be without it and I am talking to my family and friends about the awesome difference I've experienced since adding NingXia Red to my diet. It's the best!" -Cynthia Neal
NingXia Red during and after exercise "I love exercising to stay fit and healthy and have found drinking one ounce of NingXia Red, mixed with 20 ounces of water, helps me have stamina during the workout and recover quicker after the workout. The drink is filled with antioxidants, which is what speeds up recovery time after exercise since these nutrients reduce exercise-induced oxidative injury.
According to Marie Boyle in her book 'Personal Nutrition', "… because the body uses oxygen at a higher rate during exercise, the generation of free radicals and the potential for exercise-induced tissue damage increases in the body."
NingXia Red is not only extremely high in anti-oxidants (which eliminate free radicals), it also contains the essential oils of lemon and orange. Essential oils increase oxygen uptake in the body by up to 28%. It is very logical, therefore, that NingXia Red will help our body recover more quickly after exercise and also increases the oxygen DURING exercise, thereby giving us more stamina as we workout.
NingXia Red is the best cocktail to drink during our exercise session :)" -Mirdza Hayden
Dementia and Ningxia Red "I gave my neighbor a bottle of NingXia Red juice, after she said her 85 year old husband had dementia. I thought no more about it until she called and asked me to order her 2 bottles of NR. She called again to ask if I had ordered the NR. I told her I had, but I had an unopened bottle that I could bring to her. When I took it to her, she admitted her husband seemed to be more able to speak in complete sentences since drinking Ningxia Red.
A few weeks later, she told me her husband had to spend 3 days in the hospital. When he returned home, he was disoriented and unable to find his way to the bathroom. She immediately gave him some Ningxia Red, and within a day he was back to where he was before he was hospitalized.
I recently gave her Cedarwood oil (high in sesquiterpenes which cross the blood-brain barrier) to place on her husband's brain stem, forehead, big toes and thumbs. I am eager to see what God's Healing Oils will do." -Cynthia Crocket
How's your spring cleaning going with Young Living's non-toxic and natural Thieves Cleaner and Thieves Spray? May is Spring Cleaning Month and a fresh, clean home will definitely leave you feeling a whole lot more self confident !!
Did you know you can deliciously scent the air in your home with Citrus Fresh in a diffuser? (Reminder: all 3 of these are available for FREE this month with Young Living's May promotion!)
If you don't yet have a diffuser you can put Citrus Fresh on a cotton ball and place it in the air vents in your home and your car. You can also fill a small spray bottle with water and add Citrus Fresh and spray the air with it, or label the bottle as 'Air Freshener' and set it on your bathroom sink. (www.abundanthealth.us has nice glass bottles.)
I put 10-15 drops of Citrus fresh in a 2 ounce bottle and 20-30 in a 4 ounce bottle.
