Let’s face it, if we’re stuck counting calories or measuring portions of specific foods during our 90-Day Challenge, we’re far less likely to keep that up after the 90 days are over. It’s time to change how we think about foods.

We need to recognize first and foremost that not all calories are created equal. A 300-calorie candy bar or soda is not the same as a healthy 300-calorie turkey wrap. Your body chemistry works completely differently when you have each of these foods. The sugary candy bar or soda will trigger insulin overload and be sent straight to your fat cells. 

The high-protein wrap and other quality foods such as those on Jim Ayres shopping list will be metabolized much more slowly. We’ll feel full longer. They will help us maintain our muscle tone. We’ll maintain a higher metabolism and have better blood sugar balance. All the best energizing and calming benefits are chemically triggered by real food.

What gets us off our couch, out of the bag of potato chips, and into fantastic Xyngular® momentum? Others. If we want our activities to start lining up with our dreams and desires…our WHY, then we want to get together with others who are also excited and have similar dreams and desires.

What happens on a stressful, exhausting, or boring day? When we get home all we want is a whole bag of chips or a pint of rocky road ice cream. Sometimes eating isn’t about hunger at all. Eating by mood can be one of the most overwhelming issues for someone who has fought their weight all their lives.

In the heat of an emotional mood, it’s hard to separate the physical need for food triggered by hunger from the emotional need triggered by an emotion. Sometimes it’s boredom, anger, loneliness, sorrow, fear, frustration, or fatigue that control our responses to food.

Before your “like” or your link gets clicked or your idea gets read, a busy person is going to go through a quick, time-saving mental exercise to figure out if it’s worth looking into a little deeper or even considering.

Since it seems that almost everyone is now connected one way or another, lots of people we don’t even know can get through to us with a deluge of noise, and just about everyone worth contacting is starting to become defensive about who and what they spend time glancing at. The message has to pass a few mental screens, like…

It isn’t realistic to think that we won’t be tempted to binge on our personal favorite salty, sugary, or fatty snack foods. But we can locate healthy substitutions. Even on Valentine’s Day.

Team conference calls, our twice-weekly ConneXions, and our many get-togethers are all extremely important in our success at Xyngular®. Whether we’re in an exciting positive period in our business or a discouraging downturn, the articles and calls are an essential part of keeping us on the path to our goals and dreams. We need to listen to training calls and read the ConneXion articles in times of great success so we can make sure our excitement doesn’t take us off the proven tracks of our business. We need to listen and read in the down times so we can identify the principles we may have drifted away from that may have caused our downturn.

Stephen Covey tells us that we all have to think like pilots. Pilots are off course a large percentage of the time and are forced to constantly make little course corrections. This training is designed to help you make these course corrections and warn you against major distractions that could take you completely off course and ruin your business. For that reason, we all have to go through the fundamentals of success in this business many times.

It’s sad that most of us get our formal education when we are so young and immature. We could go to the best schools and get some of the best training in the world, but we don’t appreciate it or use it to its full power because we don’t have much experience. Most of us get a lot more out of on-the-job training as we come up against challenges in actual work situations.

What have we done in the past when the snacks are passed around? Did we take one or half the bag? We may need to pass the whole bag in the future. 

Everyone has their most challenging snack food temptations that are most likely to trigger binges. It’s much easier to say no to even one of our trigger foods than it is to stop a binge when it’s in full throttle.

Some foods may need to be banished from the house because they’re so dangerous to our personal health. There may be no way we can enjoy certain foods in moderation. It’s easier to identify them and keep them out of the house.

When we get right down to our “why” for doing Xyngular®, when we make our dream board or our vision board, there are many things we can cut out and paste in place. But there one category of things that belong on our board that usually trumps them all. In our enthusiasm for paying off debt, having a little extra spending money, or making that car payment, let’s not forget the most heart-felt reasons for all our hard work.

Most Xyngular® leaders have to admit that at some point they have lost a sale or two or have missed out on recruiting someone because they talked too much or because they said the wrong thing. It’s easy to do. Here’s how to tell when you’re drifting into “sales talk.”

If that has ever happened to you, here’s some advice from one of the world’s largest ad agencies, Young & Rubicam (Y&R). Chairman Ann Fudge, whose clients include Ford Motor, Sears, AT&T and other giants, said: “You always have to put yourself in the shoes of the consumer. It’s not what we think, it’s what the consumer thinks.”

So how do you put yourself in the consumer’s shoes when you happen to be the seller? It’s not as easy as it seems. Ask yourself, “can you recognize a slight change in language or mood when a friend starts talking sales? Do you tend to move toward or away from them?

That’s right. When someone starts talking like a seller, most of us stop listening. Why? Because they all tend to talk the same way.

Seller talk is a little like baby talk…it’s easy to recognize. You know how it sounds…”So, Lucy, what do you do?” She gushes: “I’m a distributor for nutritional products. We market unique, proven weight loss products that are amazing and all-natural.”

Think of your body an expensive, high performance vehicle, like a race car or a space shuttle that must last you 100 years. Your food is the fuel that is either used for increased energy and health, or in the case of junk food, is deposited as fat and toxic sludge.

If you use your vehicle without proper fuel, you’ll be exhausted all the time, no matter how much food you eat. Your body doesn’t have to fall apart too quickly. Like a vehicle, it’s easy to take for granted because it gets you where you want to go, until it starts breaking down. Then it starts to disrupt your life.

Like your car, little things are easy to overlook—a rattle in the transmission, a little black smoke out the tail pipe. Your body will send you signals too—a little depression or aggression, regular headaches, acid reflux, high blood pressure, too frequent colds, etc.

It’s amazing how many people talk about these problems going away when they’re using Xyngular® products regularly. (more…)
