Laughter is the "Best Medicine" for Your Heart 

Laughter, along with an active sense of humor, may help protect you against a heart attack, according to a recent study by cardiologists at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore. The study, which is the first to indicate that laughter may help prevent heart disease, found that people with heart disease were 40 percent less likely to laugh in a variety of situations compared to people of the same age without heart disease.

First Steps Through The Inner Barriers To Lifestyle Improvement

Your client is motivated to be healthy and well, they are ready for being active, and, perhaps, with your help, they have wellness plan lined out.  So, what  is getting in their way of taking action and living that healthy lifestyle they desire?  Chances are they have encountered some external barriers like schedule changes, lack of support from folks they counted on at home or at work, increased workload, etc.  While we can work with them to strategize ways over, under, around and through those, the more insidious barriers can be internal in nature.

What holds  us back from succeeding at lasting lifestyle change is often as much an internal challenge as it can be external factors. (See my blogg)http://realbalancewellness.wordpress.com/2 011/01/06/ten-wa ys-to-coach-through-barriers-to-change---part-one---outer-barriers-to-lifestyle-improvement-by-dr-michael-arloski Our own beliefs about ourselves, and the world around us, as well as issues of self-esteem, self-doubt, and self-efficacy, may determine our progress and success.  We can all be  our own worst enemy without even knowing it.  

When it comes to being successful at losing weight, managing our stress, quitting smoking, etc., your client can start with two questions for themselves: "Can I really affect my own health?" and "Am I worth it?"  Psychologist Wayne Dyer is fond of saying "You'll see it when you believe it" and this is a matter of belief.  Does your client believe that the efforts to improve their lifestyle are going to make any difference in their health (self-efficacy)?  Is the effort worth it, and am I worth the effort?  The two questions go hand in hand.  People who are successful at lifestyle improvement are able to answer "Yes!" to these questions.  A "No" or even a "Maybe" defines where the work begins.

There are libraries full of evidence that our lifestyle choices do indeed affect our health both in terms of prevention and in terms of the course of an illness.  Yet, as we know belief is not a simple matter of logic and facts.  How "Okay" I feel about myself may have some very deep roots and unearthing them may not be as necessary as you might think.  

Helping your client build confidence in themselves and their wellness efforts starts with selecting goals that are the easiest to attain and letting success build on success.  They can increase their probability of succeeding by working with an ally (like you) instead of attempting it alone.  They will also, of course, be more successful with an actual plan instead of just launching a single action step effort.  Encourage them to seek out experiences that allow them to engage in creative self-expression, another known booster of self-esteem.  Build it in to their wellness plan.

Tied to building self-esteem and self-efficacy is being vigilant about keeping self-doubt and excessive self-criticism at bay.  It seems that many times the little negative voice begins to whisper in our ear whenever change is attempted.  Let your client know this is natural and help them to combat the Gremlin with positive affirmation or messages. (We'll tackle that "gremlin" in a later column)  Urge your client to look inside for the answers.  They've got them.

 Full Engagement in Life, Work, and Coaching

Quietness, stillness, is in the present moment.

In 1971 Ram Dass (psychiatrist turned meditation teacher/guru) admonished us all to BE HERE NOW!, and the battle with the distraction capacity of
our big brains has never let up. How many wonderful books, mindfulnes
s practices, institutes, and even religions have arisen in our quest to focus on this very moment in front of us. Today a new and wonderful effort is underway with such great books as
The Power of Full Engagement
by Tony Schwartz and Jim Loehr.

In this short video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybfPNevrF00). Loehr nails "the real culprit", not stress, but "insufficient volume of recovery". He argues that we need to give people more permission to increase the frequency and intensity of their time spent in what he's referring to as "recovery". Balance. Yes, and if I may, "real balance".
