Align With Your Mission And Take Your Business To The Next Level

Every day we have an opportunity to move closer to our goals, our dreams, and our vision to shape our destiny. We ARE in control of our future and we get to direct our thoughts and energies in whatever direction we choose.

I see many business owners want to jump in to action, action, action. They want it now! I also see these same business owners, stressed, pulled in a million directions and in mental overload. Unfortunately, this generates mixed up results.

In order to make progress in business you must first be fully in tune and aligned with your vision, your mission and why you are a business owner.

Let’s start with your thoughts. Your thoughts direct your actions and are backed by emotions. If you notice thoughts and emotions are energy. You can’t pick up a thought like you would pick up a pencil. However, the pencil is a result of a well thought out idea with a meaningful purpose. How many books do you own that were first drafted in pencil?

So it is important that the thoughts you think reflect and embody the essence of your mission here on this earth. Your thoughts need to be connected at a soul level which means they come from the heart.

Thoughts that come from the heart yield positive results and in order to fully tune in to what is written in your heart and soul, you must slow down your thoughts, quiet your mind and align yourself with your mission. Imagine taking daily action with a calm and relaxed body and mind. With a soul that is cleansed. With a spirit that is centered and awake. Imagine feeling so alive every day that the action you take is simple and fully energized. Would your business change? Would your mission rise to the surface and reach the people you are meant to serve?

Enjoy Maximum Health By Eating The Carotenes

Beta carotene and lycopene are 2 health boosting nutrients that form part of the carotenes family. Orange and red coloured vegetables are the best food sources of these natural nutrients. Provisional evidence suggests that they are potent antioxidants and may also have further protective properties in the human body. In this article I will be providing a full breakdown of these 2 carotenes, listing the best food sources and highlighting their key health benefits.

1) BETA CAROTENE:

Beta carotene is mainly found in orange coloured fruits and vegetables. Canned carrot juice (9.3 milligrams (mg) per 100 grams (g)), canned pumpkin (6.9mg per 100g) and sweet potato (11.5mg per 100g) are some of the best food sources of beta carotene.

In terms of health benefits, beta carotene is a provitamin A which means it is used by your body to create vitamin A. Since it is used to create vitamin A its health benefits are very similar. This carotene supports healthy vision and night vision, keeps your reproductive system healthy, keeps your immune system healthy, supports healthy growth and much more.

There are no official recommendations in place when it comes to beta carotene consumption. However, a number of sources suggest consuming between 15mg and 50mg each day to unlock the health benefits of this carotene.

2) LYCOPENE:

Red fruits and vegetables are the richest food source of lycopene. Some of the richest food sources include guavas (5.2mg per 100g), sun dried tomatoes (42.9mg per 100g) and water melons (4.5mg per 100g).

Lycopene is a potent antioxidant that keeps your body’s cells safe from dangerous free radicals. Free radicals are dangerous by-products that get released into your body’s cells during oxygen related reactions. They have been associated with cancer (a disease where your cells start to grow in a rapid, out of control way), diabetes (a disease where your blood glucose levels reach dangerously high levels) and rapid ageing.
