Yes, you read that right!
My friend, Hugh Rambo (yes his last name is Rambo!), let me borrow his copy of the Chief Petty Officer’s Guide that is the official handbook for both aspiring and old salt CPOs – Chief Petty Officers. For you non-military folks the CPO is the highest non-commissioned person in the US Navy. A first level commissioned officer is an ensign in the Navy and a 2nd lieutenant in the Marines, Army and Air Force. Not sure if the coast Guard is an ensign or lieutenant.
Yes, there some marvelous quotes in Soul Currency by Ernest Chu. Some are from famous people and others are from Ernest’s own writing.
As mentioned in the last post, we are going to discuss Spiritual Assets as coined by Ernest Chu in his MUST read book Soul Currency, now available in our XtremeJoy Store.
Today we are returning to another type of FITNESS – FISCAL fitness and recently I discovered one of the BEST MUST read books on that subject – Soul Currency by Ernest Chu. Ernest has a very interesting background as he is a former 30 year veteran of Wall Street including being an allied member of the New York Stock Exchange, an investment banking executive and a capital markets expert. He is also a very ssuccessful serial entrepreneur having been on the founding executive team of NINE companies and raising over $150,000,000 for these companies and other clients.
When you are doing your BRISK walk or bike ride PLEASE enjoy the NATURAL sounds and sights instead of listening with your Ipod/Nano or talking on your cell phone. I’m sure that Apple and other makers of these devices are not going to be happy with this recommendation.
Another important aspect of your new XtremeJoy Fitness program has to do with your eating habits and this goes beyond the previous discussed 6 days of fruits, grains and veggies with meals no bigger than your two fists.
I want to share one very inmportant aspect of Xtremejoy Fitness with you – ALWAYS exercise because YOU want to NOT because you feel obligated or guilty! If you don’t exercise because YOU want to with a SMILE of XtremeJoy on your face then you are just increasing the Stress and Addiction Cycle!
So what do you need to do for your XtremeJoy Fitness?
I believe that the Centers for Disease Control has the right solution – a good BRISK walk or riding your bike at a BRISK pace. My friend, Dee, is actually in charge of promoting walking and biking at CDC. Research has shown that either one will be enough to get you in the aerobic zone.
So why 5 meals per day instead of 3?
Research at prestigious universities like Duke have found that we actually have a THIRD brain! Guess where it is? Yep, in your STOMACH! So this brain is the one that can change you PHYSICALLY and give you MORE energy leading to the release of ENDORPHINS! COOL!
Continuing our discussion of ENDORPHINS you may be excited enough now by the tremendous benefits to want to experience this high yourself.
