Time Travel

“What I really love about music is that it is the closest thing human beings have to time-travel.  As we get older, we change.  This is a fact.  We are not the same person we were at ten, sixteen, twenty, forty or eighty!  We are ever changing.  Yet, when we hear a song that carries with it an emotion we once experienced, we can be ten or thirty years old again.  For three minutes and twenty seconds, we can live in another time and place.  We can see our parents, our friends from childhood, the places we’ve lived, werever we’ve traveled, faily gatherings, arguments we had, breakups, makeups, our first love–or our last.  Music gives us the ability to reconnect with the person we once were in a way that noghing else can.  The emotional memories we attach to music allow us the freedom to be another version of ourselves, a version that changes over time.  I;m not saying we were better younger; far from it.  But I think the power to reconnect with our youthful selves as mature adults has an interesting learning appeal.  If at fifty years old we still behaved, felt and thought as we did in our teens or twenties our daily lives would be chaos!  The memories and emotions that music brings out in us are a chance to really see our growth. ”   Marilu Henner, Total Memory Makeover

Say it out loud !

Do you know that most people are more likely to follow through with their intentions if they write them down and/or say them out loud?  If you’ve decided to get healthy, and stay healthy, right through the holiday season then stack the deck in your favor.

Get people on your team.  Tell a friend who has your best interests at heart; someone who will encourage you and hold your feet to the fire.  Maybe they’ll even come along for the ride.  Bring them home to meet the family here at Marilu.com !!

EXERCISE

In Healthy Holidays Marilu talks about what happened when she finally resolved to break a sweat for ten minutes a day.  Read about Marilu’s experience making this decision on the day after Thanksgiving.  Could this mindset help you through the holiday season with your resolve intact?

 

 

 

 

“…..starting the day after Thanksgiving that year I decided to make the commitment to break a sweat every day for at least ten minutes–and that when the program finally came together for me.  Within three weeks I had finally dropped those last eight pounds that had been stubbornly clinging to my thighs, bust, and cheeks since a parish bake sale I went to in third grade.  I hadn’t been able to drop those eight little sandbags no matter how disciplined my diet had been.”

Knowledge is Power

One of the biggest positives at Marilu.com is the diversity of our membership and the respectful attitude our members take with one another.  We have vastly differing views in some areas but our focus is always our common ground.  In this age of anonymous interaction that respect isn’t always evident in on-line communities so we want to take a minute to brag on our members for making this a peaceful supportive community.   One thing we all agree on…no matter where you stand politically you need to TAKE a stand and learn all you can before you cast your vote.   Please take a minute to watch Marilu encourage people to get out there and vote.  Learn where the candidates stand on the issues that matter to you.   http://www.takepart.com/video/marilu-...   Knowledge IS power.  Don’t take your voting rights for granted.  YOU have the power to make a difference.
