Reduce Stress and Increase Happiness in This Ten Minutes Per Day Habit – Improve Your Quality of Life Today!

October 6, 2016 by IR Staff 2 Comments

happyReduce Stress and Increase Happiness?
In Ten Minutes or less per day?
Sounds too good to be true, right?
This article might be long, but it will be worth the read, if you would like to experience an increase in your happiness, satisfaction, and success.
I have been partaking in a daily habit that is completely transforming the way I think about my life, my relationships, my work, and my purpose in life, and at this point, it would be selfish and wrong to not share this with the people in my life that want to experience improved quality of life. So here it goes…
Founder and Owner, Aaron Guyett with his kids.
Founder and Owner, Aaron Guyett with his kids.

How can you spend 2 to 10 minutes every day, and experience more happiness, satisfaction, and success, even in the midst of our busy and stressful lives?

 

First, we need to understand that thinking happy, satisfying, and successful thoughts goes against our nature. All of humanity is wired to remember and focus on the negative, and in case you think you are the exception, read these questions and ponder the answer.
Which thing can you remember faster, something a significant other in your life did that was good or bad?
busy lifestyleWhen you have performed a thousand good deeds or actions for your boss or job, why do they (or you) recall or focus on the one bad thing?
When asked a general question about the way you perform, why do you instantly think with a negative bias, and tend to find your body language, words, or thoughts to be defensive in nature?
Why do we tend to believe the World is getting more violent, oppressive, and dangerous, when every study of history depicts the opposite is in fact occurring in today’s World?
This is the way our minds were created, and without getting overly spiritual, this is what keeps us out of harms way.
kettlebell, kettlebell team, innovative results kettlebell team, Amanda Clover, Keri Guyett, Harrel Carman, Aaron Guyett, Manny Aragon, Christabel Tabbada, Jessica CiskeIf negatives didn’t affect us in a profound way psychologically, we would find ourselves eaten by animals, walking in front of fast-moving cars, and stepping off buildings, bridges, or cliffs often.
The issue with this brain wiring, is that even though life is easier and safer, relative to our human history, we are more depressed, anxious, and medicated than ever before.
We don’t have to fall into this pattern, though. We can make daily choices that help us focus on all of the good stuff, and experience lives that are happier, more satisfying, and more successful, despite the social, emotional, and environmental  pressure and stress that can seem to surround us.

If we train our brains to focus on the positives and help seat these positives deep into our psycho-social rhythms, we will reap amazing quality-of-life improvements (And that is what Innovative Results is all about).
Daily movement is shown to improve us psychologically, just as much if not more than it improves us physiologically, but if our thoughts are bad, even playful movement can seem like a daunting task or difficult chore.
I challenge you, to take the 90 Day Bliss challenge:
  • Take 2 to 10 minutes everyday to partake in one of the Bliss App exercises to improve your quality of life for 90 days in a row.
summer-beach-fun-wallpaperWhy perform positive psychology or positive neuroplasticity training (PNT) daily?
From the Bliss App Page:
“Psychologists have identified a collection of exercises, or “interventions,” which have been shown to create long-lasting improvements in happiness, motivation, resilience, life-satisfaction, and a host of other positive mental traits. Bliss packages these exercises up for you in one application so that you can easily incorporate them into your life and reap all the benefits from decades of research in positive psychology.”
You can get the Bliss app on your phone (even iPhone) here: http://bliss31.com/about.php
If you are interested in some of the research behind this I suggest reading:
  • “The Happiness Advantage” by: Shawn Achor
  • Dr. Rick Hanson’s handout here: https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/fwb-media.rickhanson.net/PDFfiles/UsingYourMindToChangeYourBrain.pdf
  • And this study http://www.rickhanson.net/teaching/tgc-public-summary/
There is a lot more material proving the point, but I won’t burden you with an exhaustive bibliography.
Know that I want you to experience improved quality of life through increased happiness, satisfaction, success, and purpose in you life, and I believe you will appreciate this HUGE step in that direction!

Before Your Resolutions, Don’t Forget to Count Your Blessings

January 1, 2016 by IR Staff Leave a Comment

If you don’t count your blessings, they are more likely to pass you by without being noticed in this New Year, too.21651-I-Chose-To-Be-Happy

There are countless studies that demonstrate how effective gratefulness can be for our happiness, performance, and productivity, so before you begin down the resolution road this year, count your blessings from last year. (Google search “gratefulness study”, and you will see incredible data backing my claim.)

If we are the sum total of our choices, habits, and behaviors…

The more you count your blessings, the better you will become at being grateful, appreciative, and thankful for all the things and happenings in your life–big or small.blog-consequences The better you become at being grateful, the happier you will be.

The happier you are, the easier it is to do the hard stuff that builds the necessary habits for your resolutions to stick.

Behavior changes for physical, financial, mental, spiritual, and relational transformation can seem very difficult (many of us experience this every year).

The Marine Corps is infiltrated with critical observers and people that point out the negatives in most situations–making transformation difficult. There is even a saying, “if the Marines aren’t complaining than something is wrong.” However, there was always a few standout Marines, some outliers, that everyone admired and were attracted to, because of their ability to transform themselves and others despite the obstacles.

These Marines could brighten up the worst of situations, with just a phrase.

I remember, we were in the middle of the night, freezing our butts off, practicing patrols with little to eat, no sleep, and not enough warming layers. When a seasoned Gunny came out of the night shadows, while our team was prepping to go out, and said with a smile, “and we get paid for this?”

personal trainer in orange county named AaronIt was in jest, but that short phrase, said with a smile, changed everyone’s perspective on that field operation. We were grateful for the training, because it would one day help us survive.

We were grateful for our paychecks, because they help us make ends meet.

We were grateful for each other, because we could suffer together.

We were grateful for him, because he made us all laugh and smile during a pretty tough challenge that would help us endure in the future.

So take a moment to think about last year’s blessings.

Be a good-finder.

Write it down, and tell some people about your blessings.

Ask those same people about their blessings…I guarantee they will appreciate you for it.

And then venture forward into this New Year with an attitude of gratefulness, and watch how your transformation, although challenging, won’t feel impossible.

Make this next year, your best year!!

I Choose HAPPY Now – A Story About Choosing Happiness from Aaron Guyett

October 23, 2015 by Jessica Leave a Comment

CBAnnBy Aaron Guyett

What are you doing this weekend?

Me personally, I get the opportunity to watch my long time friend and business partner get married…and when I thought about it, I want to share my happiness choice with you.

I choose happiness now, and I encourage you to choose happiness now, too, not because of the good that will happen to you, but because you choose to see the good in everything.

Every dark cloud has a silver lining, and it takes an incredible amount of character to choose love, joy, and happiness even in those tough situations.

I am not saying, “don’t be sad, or sadness, frustration, and anger is not allowed.”

They are all emotions that we experience, and they are all valid.

I am challenging you to pursue happiness from the inside out.21651-I-Chose-To-Be-Happy

Pursue a new way to perceive your surroundings.

Believe the best in yourself and others.

Look for what makes you happy or grateful for yourself, your surroundings, and others in your life, especially your loved ones.

I would be willing to bet that there are many things you might be taking for granted that you can now show love, happiness, and appreciation for, regardless of how many “bad” things might come with yourself, situations, and others.

Smiling is a way we can all pursue this character in our lives no matter the situation.

Impact your life and the lives of others with a free gift: your smile.Happy (1)

 

Watch Smile Video here, and I dare you to keep a straight face.

 

 

Make your next hour your best hour!

October 18, 2012 by ptpt Leave a Comment

The Innovative Results Charity Fitness Training Sessions happen every Saturday at 10am, for a donation of $10.

You can train with our incredible fitness coaches at The Orange County Fitness Playground.

Every dollar is donated to charity.

Look what your donations are accomplishing:

Orange County Bootcamp Donates to CharityMAY- JUNE 2012 – Uganda – Africa – The $2,100 raised went to support Compassion International’s Child Survival Program in a village called Kisheny, directly improving the infant mortality rate, educating and training parents in not only health and wellness for them and their children but in agriculture and micro-enterprise opportunities.

 

Costa Mesa Boot Camp - CompassionJULY- AUG 2012 – El Salvador – Central America – The $1,800 raised was used to put on a “Community Celebration” at the Compassion International Child Development Center in Las Dalicias.  This Center has been open for 1 year is releasing children from poverty by providing education, health, social, and spiritual input.  This celebration was important for the community so they can rally around the impact of the Center.

SEPT. – OCT 2012 – Bihar – India – The $900 raised so far will go towards providing a much needed classroom at the Compassion International Child Development Center in Katihar.  This Center is located in a very remote area and served over 300 children in a community where the literacy rate is below 50%, Malria and dysentery kills thousands every year.   You can imagine the impact it has on a whole family and village when a child can get the health, social, spiritual and educational support they need.  It literally impacts the entire family.

I wanted to take a few moments to thank all of the staff at Innovative Results for the way that they have given back to GO Team India and The Crossing Church in Costa Mesa, California. This January GO Team India is traveling to Katihar, India to deliver a shipping container that The Crossing Church converted into a classroom for our church partner at the Child Development Center. This new classroom will provide a new place for the children of the local villages to learn how to read and write English. In addition to building the container GO Team India filled it with 75 wheelchairs, 350 backpacks with schools supplies, and generators to supply electricity to the school.

6 Ways To Get a Break From Your Busy Day – Innovative Results Helps You Improve Your Quality of Life With Recovery Tips

April 22, 2012 by ptpt Leave a Comment

Maximize Recovery on the MoveJennifer Lifting with Kettlebell

So, I had a long day at work and afterwards got in a session with Corey, my manager.  It was a great workout.  Afterwards he gave me a big smile and a high five and I was feeling better, but tired, when I climbed into my car.  And then I hit the 405.  “@#$%^!!!!!!!!!”  In the span of a minute tension was racing back into my system: blood pressure rising as I got angry at traffic, my shoulders and neck getting tense.

CTraffic, frustration, stress, recover, recovery, active recoveryars and commutes can be some of our worst enemies when we’re trying to make
positive changes in our health and fitness.  The stress seeps in and sabotages our bodies’ ability to handle life well, let alone adapt to the positive stress of a well thought-out exercise program.  Even worse it causes us to adopt harmful habits in our posture, our breathing, our sleep, and even our mindset and the way we interact with people.

So here are some simple things that I’ve been practicing  that help a lot when life seems like it’s getting to be too much.

Why not try this tonight?

6 Ways To Get a Break From Your Busy Day

  1. breathing techniques for recoveryAs soon as you get in your car, take 5 deep, slow breaths.  In through the nose, out through the mouth, filling your lungs from bottom to top as full as you can.  Repeat this every time you merge onto a different freeway, or at the start of each significant leg of your journey.  Just don’t close your eyes!
  2. Name 5 things that you are grateful for.  Things that are going well in your life.  Then express your gratitude to somebody before you go to bed!
  3. Take 5 minutes to admire something.  It could be a view, a plant, a nice building or a yard, a child’s project, a loved one.
  4. Before you go to bed, write out 1 chore outside of work that you’ve been putting off that you can accomplish tomorrow.   Put the note somewhere that you will see it tomorrow and get it done.
  5. Right before sleepy time, take another 10 deep breaths, this time with your eyes closed, and think about the thing that you are the most grateful for.  Sweet dreams!
  6. Daily: take 5 minutes every hour to stand up tall and straight.  Let your shoulders come down and be relaxed and broad.  Tighten your core a bit, like a belt.  Let your spine grow tall to the ceiling.  Relax and breathe deep.

All of this will help you lay a foundation for clear thinking, for better circulation, and for better rest.  And if you can practice calm, clarity, and gratitude every day, you are really going to be on track to getting your body where you want it to go!
