Honor where you are: The foundation of a healthy attitude
January 3, 2011 | 
Author “Honor where you are.” You’ve probably heard this directive for wellness. It is a concept common eastern modalities such as yoga and is well documented in Western psychology.
Ceremony, where you are is to embrace the moment and what you personally take. It means that the person you need – and maybe even grateful for the obstacles you had to overcome on the road, because the learning and growth that wonderful person possible. Easier said than done, right?
No wonder. Ceremony, where you are, requires a little slow. This is a big task for a society of busy people. We have the habit of always coming to us in the future, the planning and preparation for a time anyway … and often forget to drink in the pleasures of the present. How beautiful and desirable things we missed – a walk with a friend, a beautiful sunset, the peaceful silence of a clear night – we were too busy checking our e-mail or doing ‘one thing’ the never-end-to-do list?
It is difficult to honor, where we like our minds with all details and always one step ahead to be consumed.
Instead of the positive current phase of our lives, we tend not realistic – and unproductive – nostalgia for the past.
It would be a difficult attitude to develop, but I promise you, there is much for the honor to carry, you basically have to be won. Let us look at the aging preview. Whether you’re 20, 70, or somewhere in between, your real age is only part of the wellness picture. You can determine how old you are, is “just a number”, or you can use this number as a curse. Lately I’ve become more aware of the changes in my body shape and memory. Woohoo! I choose to feel young, while continuing to challenge my body and mind strong. (I love this strong feeling that if I do my strength training.)
Honor the spirit, where you are is a powerful body and mind healing tool. I encourage you to renew their efforts to wellness, both physical and mental health by working to complete this principle to make. Look at your world – you, your friends and family, your community – the clear lens of the present. What is good in your life?

If your cardio for weight increase?
I was asked to do cardio workouts to increase your weight. I was surprised, because cardio is known as a way to lose weight, not to get.
At first I thought that my answer is not more than one line needs, but then I thought, that it can be to this question and it deserves a clarification.
Let us first talk about the training itself. It is true that a kind of training you can gain weight. That may be true for strength training, where you build muscle mass. If you add more muscle to your body can increase your weight, reduce body fat while you can.
Secondly, there is simply no way that the real cardio workout that will increase in weight. Since weight gain requires more calories than you burn, you can see, that makes it harder for your Cardiovascular gain weight.
But this is not the whole story and it is an indirect way you can gain weight, the heart is concerned.
What can happen and is probably the reason I asked this question in the first place that many people to their advantage to remove the exercise by eating too many calories tend thereafter. Or they feel very hungry after training, or whether they are psychologically justified in eating more than they should. This is called post-training and compensation can be large enough to actually undo all the calories you burned during the workout itself.
In some cases you can, so you actually consume more calories than you eat to burn during the workout. If you consider that, if the heart can make you fat, actually. Otherwise you will not lose weight.
So, you do not have to increase cardio to weights. Their dietary habits.
