Your Life Sucks Because You Expect It To Suck (and 10 Ways to Improve It Right Now)
Filed Under Resources, self-empowerment, wellness | Leave a Comment
Contrary to popular belief, you are in control of our life. You may believe, based on what you have been taught, that other people have at least some control over your destiny.
We want you to understand that this is not the case…unless you allow it to be.
You may have learned to expect life to be difficult, limiting, and unrewarding. Now is your chance to unlearn that, grow, and succeed.
The following list will help guide you through taking back control over your life. It’s a lot of information so I would suggest printing it out or book marking it so you can return on a regular basis and remind yourself what you are trying to accomplish.
1. Don’t Exist to Survive, Exist to Flourish
Everyone has basic survival needs. It is important that you seek to meet your needs and then strive to move beyond them.
So many people get caught up in meeting their needs that they stop after that small accomplishment. It’s paycheck to paycheck. We pay the rent, we pay the bills, we buy the food, we buy the clothes, we borrow for our pleasure and we go back to work. The money comes in, the money goes out, and the names are changed to protect the innocent.
An ant works all day and at the end of the day it’s still an ant and it’s still working. In order to break from the habits of the ant, you simply need to choose to do so. Don’t let life happen to you; you need to happen to life.
Get out of debt, get an emergency fund, generate more income, save for your retirement, and build wealth.

Fitness vs. health
Filed Under Nutrition, wellness | Leave a Comment
Exercise is one element of living that affects health. However, while our bodies need exercise to be healthy, exercise can’t make us healthy. Exercise can enhance health if the body isn’t overburdened just trying to survive.
A regular exercise program can help you to look better, be more energetic, more flexible, stronger, and more upbeat. Yet, even if you exercise strenuously and regularly — work out, run, walk, play tennis or golf — you may not be healthy. Your body may be working overtime to handle the health-inhibiting effects of improper diet, polluted air, restless sleep, or persistent emotional upheaval.
When you exercise, rest, or breathe, your whole body responds. Your heart rate speeds or slows, blood pressure goes up or down, oxygen delivery to the blood stream increases or decreases, muscles contract or relax, alertness heightens or falls and energy production accelerates or subsides. Literally thousands of internal physiological responses are excited or suppressed. You live in a body that functions through a finely-tuned, well-orchestrated, integrated system of chemical and electrical responses.
Exercise temporarily adds acid to the “atmosphere” of your internal environment. If your internal environment is “toxic” from excess acid when you begin to exercise, your body may not be able to withstand the additional stress. Those people who need to “clean up their internal environment” should limit their exercise program to walking. Those whose internal environments are in reasonably good shape may need to change their diets, and perhaps their attitudes, as they continue to exercise strenuously.
Suppress or Express?

“Big boys/girls don’t cry.” “Don’t hit.” “Don’t shout.” “Don’t be angry.” Our society has long advocated emotional “control.” From childhood, we are bombarded with instructions to sanction outward responses to emotions. What’s a body to do with all of these robust emotions bottled up all the time? Explode?
More or less. Actually, it’s more like “implode” – “collapse” inward. If the energy of emotions can’t be vented to the outside, it will be released on the inside. Eventually, the body “implodes” with some sort of release. It “implodes” in a headache, or back pain, or knee pain, or stomach pain, or some other kind of pain. Pain is an excess of energy in one place. It’s congested. And that congested energy can come from suppressed emotions. Suppressing emotional responses imposes a variation of psychic trauma that cultivates a sense of isolation. How sad for society and for health.
B.E.S.T. Release/MPower March
Filed Under Articles, Technique | Leave a Comment
If you haven’t attended a Be Your B.E.S.T. or any seminar in a while, then you might not be very familiar with B.E.S.T. Release or the MPower March. These are two extremely important but effortless body-balancing techniques you should perform several times everyday!
The MPower March is an aerobic exercise that will improve muscle and neurological balance in your body. B.E.S.T. Release is a technique that will update your subconscious and is entwined with the MPower March. By performing each of these activities several times per day, you are personally giving yourself an unbelievable treatment to balance your body and retime!
Here is a testimonial from a B.E.S.T. practitioner on how these exercises have made an improvement in her life, and have benefited a friend:
“My name is Ria Atkins and I am an enthusiastic BEST certified Elite Diplomate practitioner who discovered B.E.S.T. at the BLI in Los Angeles last November. This program changed my life and I practice the MPower March daily. I am a patient of Blake Brown in Santa Barbara CA , though I live in Colorado . When in Colorado I go to Patti Brown for adjustments. I am signed up to complete the Master’s level this year.
This program SO impressed me that I had to recommend that Marilyn McBride attend the BLI in Chicago earlier this year. I had two reasons for her to do this. First of all, I am a total believer in the B.E.S.T. system. Because of how impressed I am with it, I knew that Marilyn would benefit in her personal health and well being.
I also immediately thought of her as being a future practitioner. I know that she will be an impressive ambassador to your program.
Marilyn attended the BLI and I am happy to report that she was totally impressed, as I knew that she would be. She daily practices the MPower March and says her affirmations. I am her practitioner when I am in her area, which is not often as I live across the country.
When I was in Chicago for BEST training, Marilyn came to see me. We performed a B.E.S.T. adjustment on her, and she informed me that she practices what she learned at the BLI and she does so daily. I was so impressed. At that training when Dr. Morter asked the audience who does the MPower March daily, and only a few hands went up. Here she was not even a practitioner and she was faithfully doing it! She practices her affirmations daily, too! She asked to see my notebook and even took notes. I knew, then and there, that she would be an excellent B.E.S.T. student, and an even better ambassador.”
-Ria Atkins
As you can see the MPower March, B.E.S.T. Release, and Be Your B.E.S.T., can change lives instantly. If you can’t make it to a Be Your B.E.S.T. seminar, but are interested in learning and teaching the MPower March and B.E.S.T. Release to your patients call 800.874.1478 to order the new CD/DVD set that will teach you how to do both techniques!
The Protein Paradox : You Really Can Have Too Much of a Good Thing
Filed Under Nutrition | Leave a Comment
No article about healthy living would be complete without an understanding of protein metabolism because the amount of protein you eat could be wearing down your body and leaving you susceptible to disease.
Proteins are perhaps the most complex of all known biological substances, and without a doubt, the most important. From the simplest albumins to the genetic coding in DNA, proteins constitute the building blocks of the body.
Many enzymes and most hormones are primarily protein and, as such, protein becomes vital in the functioning and regulation of the body. Your body cannot do without protein.
The importance of protein cannot be overemphasized. Yet, too much dietary protein is probably our most dangerous health problem, with animal protein consumption being the greatest offender!
