As you’re probably aware I definitely like to try new things.  Always in tune with how you and your business seem to play a vital co-existing role in your life… I thought I would share a few things I’m trying out.

1 – Try eating for your blood type.

Although I’m not a doctor and a lot of people are against things like this, I just discovered a new interesting idea that makes sense.  Always being interested in my health, I learned that having an “A Positive” blood type is something important to know in giving my body what it needs.

Because I very much believe in the “mind/body” connection… there is no doubt I’ve learned a lot to eating for how my body is made – although I’ve been doing much of what it said for me already.

2 – Eat slower.

Since discovering my blood type, I’ve realized that it’s important to digest my food real good.  Because I like good, quick, healthy meals… I’ve been known to just inhale my food (not really enjoying it much).

Having been conscious of this the past few days, I’ve noticed that it’s important to slow down the speed in which I’ve been eating.

3 – Go BPA Free.

Because I drink a lot of water, and eat quick/healthy meals…  until recently, I never realized the crazy effects BPA could have on someone.

Recently hearing some scary things about this chemical found in water bottles, what you heat up your leftovers in, canned foods, etc…  I’ve recently been using a BPA free water bottle and eliminating the products that contains this.

4 – Try getting a new pair of glasses.

I’m always amazed at how a different pair of glasses can change your whole entire look.  Although people think you need to spend a ton of money to get cool, quality glasses… the fact of the matter is, they can put any type of lenses in most glasses.

I bought mine for $15 at the kiyosk in the mall (and just recently had my prescription put in them).

5 – Eliminate Tuna.

I’ve been a Pescatarian for about 15 years now – mostly eating fish as a source of protein.  However, because of the recent risk I’ve heard about mercury poisoning found in a lot of tuna (no matter the kind/amount eating) I’ve been able to completely eliminate it from my meals.

6 – Work out in nature.

My friend Jonathan Mead has carved out a really unique twist on getting in shape and connecting with nature. It‘s something I would personally like to get involved more – after going on a hike with him and see how important it is to do.

It sounds so simple and just the right thing to do… doesn’t it?

7 – Try Greek Yogurt.

Because I’ve eliminated tuna… I found another source of healthy protein. Greek yogurt.

Not only that, since it’s not as flavorful as regular yogurt… I’ve been putting sliced apples in it.

It’s AMAZING!

8 – Discover new music.

My new little discovery has been Pandora. In simple terms, all you do is type in your favorite band, and it plays songs from varying artists similar to that band.  Very few commercials, no annoying dj’s and I’ve discovered a ton of new music I would of never heard of (for free).

Not only that… I find it completely inspiring to hear something from someone that I’ve never heard before – as I hope you will.

9 – Eliminate the worst in you.

I had a great conversation with my friend Brian the other day.  He recently left a band and as many of you know… I’m moving out of an area of California that I’m not at all happy about living.

He talked about how the guys in his band brought out the worst in him and…  I could totally relate.  If you don’t like what your job, where you live, or who you’re around is rubbing off on you…  you MUST change that.

Although I believe we must change and adapt as best we can to the circumstance, we are all human.  Be around people, places and situation that bring out the best in you.  If you don’t like who you’re becoming, it’s time to look at the other alternatives that exist.

10 – Prepare for the times.

I recently read in the Wall Street Journal about people going solo more – in response to what is happening in the marketplace.

They went on to talk about how they are prepare for this in the down times UNTIL things get better.  The thing is, they aren’t doing too well doing it this way.  Those that embrace this change, and convert the extra bedroom to the office… and really commit to this new type of employment seem to do much better.

11 – Fight against fatigue.

When you work at a job you disklike… the biggest way to fight against it would be to quit.  Easy enough.  Right?

However until that happens and you find alternate ways of living the dream, there are some great ways to give yourself more energy? Dr. Oz has some amazing tips.

So there you have it.  These are all the new things I’ve been trying out recently – and love the results I’ve been getting.  Anything else you want to ad?
