Here's something I consider very important that almost everybody does wrong. How many times have you heard someone talking about "my arthritis, my diabetes, my cancer, my medicine, etc."? If you claim ownership, it's yours. You need to be careful how you refer to things, whether you are speaking to someone else or in your self-talk. You need to detach yourself from disease, rather than embracing it and claiming it as your own. Some alternative ways to refer to things you don't want would be to simply replace "my" with "the, this, or that", with "I'm suffering from" optional or understood. This also applies to bad habits, discipline problems, etc. - anything you don't want to own.
On the subject of fitness, Storm, of thegardendiet.com advocates a circular workout, based on martial arts principles. The concept behind it being that by working with weights that are less than ten pounds you don't develop a muscle bound body that can't move. By moving in a circle you put the same amount of weight on each muscle for the same amount of time so you don't end up with a body that has some muscles over developed while others get no exercise at all. The body becomes evenly toned. This is huge when you reach the age of forty and over. Because the body starts to breakdown because of the imbalance of the development of different muscle strengths. You become more prone to injuries and stress because the muscles are pulling your body out of alignment and wear out. This is really true of the Back. Everything is tied into the back so when we develop our muscles at different levels of strengths this in turn pulls our spines out of alignment creating all types of back problems. By toning and balancing all of our muscle groups together many people have found relief from chronic pains that have been with them for years.
