Girl Power19 Unlimited by Jillian Michaels Apr 6, 2011 12:53 PM "To live the life of your dreams, you have to know what those dreams are." - Jillian Michaels I recently received an early copy of Jillian Michaels book  Unlimited from a dear male friend of mine.  He read some of the early reviews on Amazon and thought that this book would be perfect for me.  Don't you just hate when people know exactly what you need when you have no clue.  The last few years, I have been unhappy.  I have been trying to find the confidence within to admit that I was not happy with my work, my personal life and myself.  From the outside I look like I have it all together when in fact I have nestled myself in the comfort of being uncomfortable. When I first opened Jillian's book, I went directly to the table of contents.  I needed to know the subject matter before I invested my time.  I had no use for useless self-help jargon.  The second item I read was so bold that I put her book down and cried. It simply stated, "What the Hell Do You Want to Do With Your Life?"  What, did I want to do?  I had no clue....well not one that I could verbalize.  After a few hours and some chocolate I went back to Chapter One- Identify Your Passion, which is under the heading of Imagine and found myself thinking back about my relationships with people and with myself.  I discovered the moment when I started hiding my true gifts and talents to make others comfortable around me.  I found what Jillian calls the big lie- that if we are not happy then "that's just the way things are." Life is to be lived and there are no rules to achievement. "The truth is, there are no rules. Period.  Anything is possible if you have the knowledge and do the work." You mean that, it's okay to follow my passions?  It is okay to be selfish in pursuit of my dreams....all of this is the first few pages of the book. Boy, did my friend know what I needed to hear (read). Although the first heading is called Imagine, I would rename it Dismantle!  As I turned the pages of this book, I found bits of my philosophy of living being dismantled.  I found freedom in the words.  It had been so long since someone told me that it was okay to take all my knowledge and gifts and demand  the very best from the universe. I have not completed  Unlimited , but I am well on my way.  There are so many points that have made me stop in my tracks and reflect that, I find myself revisiting the material I just read with a notepad of personal reflection notes.  I strongly recommend  Unlimited by Jillian Michaels if you are looking for some inner peace, and even if you are afraid of the journey....take it, your life will be forever changed.

Michele Foley Lindsay Lohan and Gwyneth Paltrow Rely on Healing Power of Exercise Jan 5, 2011 6:15 PM The benefit of exercise stretches way beyond the ability to fit into our "skinny jeans." It reduces stress, combats fatigue, and is good for the brain. It also helps with depression . Having dealt with PMDD for most of my adult life , exercise became my natural form of Prozac. It's good to remember this for times when you might be feeling down and out. Out of rehab for less than a week, Lindsay Lohan has been turning to the gym , no doubt to release stress and keep her endorphin levels up. Working out can be a good distraction when you're trying to kick any sort of addiction, as the young actress is. Adding to the evidence that exercise has healing powers is an interview with Gwyneth Paltrow in the latest issue of Good Housekeeping . Gwyneth admits that exercise helped her overcome postpartum depression. The next time you are upset, worried, angry, or sad, exercise. Take your stress out on the treadmill, which will manifest itself into the production of mood-enhancing endorphins. I personally find that yoga is an amazing mood lifter, and science agrees with me . For times that I am extremely sad, I turn to Mandy Ingber's pose for heartbreak . What exercises do you like to do when feeling down?
