Is Your Smart Phone Making You Stupid?

January 17, 2011 By kwmccarthy

The smarter our smart phones get, the dumber we're becoming behind the wheel of a car.

Teens get blasted for texting and driving, but let me tell you, it isn't just kids. While I don't text and drive, I do have my unsafe moments of cell phone use. Those of us who are older and "wiser" are guilty of our own set of cell phone violations – looking up numbers, dialing while driving, reading email, etc…

There's a line in this video, "What is worth losing your life over? That text message?" That question stopped me dead in my tracks of cell phone usage.

You see, even though my car is equipped with bluetooth and I've got two hands on the wheel, I find myself looking up phone numbers, dialing, and pressing send while driving. No more even just a little distraction for me. Watch this, join me, and let's live longer, healthier lives while driving safely for us and those other people on the road.

Really! How busy are you that it can't wait until conditions to text or call are safe?

Are You Starting A Diet on Monday?

January 1, 2011 By kwmccarthy

Don't Diet!

"Diets don't work," flatly states my friend Dr. Wayne Andersen, the author of The Habits of Health and Living a Longer Healthier Life, and mentor in Judith's (my wife) health coaching practice. Diets are short term decisions, not long term behaviorial and lifestyle changes so they don't work.

Don't Exercise Either!

Exercise is inefficient and often ineffective for healthy weight loss. Exercise is important, but it needs to be in the right context of an overall program of health.

Do Invest 3 Minutes to watch A Weighty Conversation!

Below this video message is information to connect with a Health Coach of your choice or Judith. Watch the message, then keep reading.

Do A Program, Not A Diet!

My Story

This is the program that helped me lose my weight and keep it (mostly) off for over 2 years! Is your lifestyle preventing you from really being more fully on-purpose?

Join me. Over the holidays I packed on more than a few extra pounds and I'm starting back on the program Monday to lose 15 pounds! Regardless of whether you need to lose 15 pounds or 150 pounds, join with me to live a healthier weigh… on-purpose!

Be Wise!

If you are on Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol medication or obese, be sure to consult your doctor. Your health coach will work with you and your doctor to get you to a healthy weight and lifestyle. Don't take unnecessary risks!

Quotes on Health

"As I see it, every day you do one of two things: build health or produce disease in your self."

Adella Davis (1904 – 1974)

"Look to your health: and if you have it, praise God, and value it next to conscience; for health is the second blesing that we mortals are capable of, a blessing money can't buy."

Izaak Walton (1593 – 1683)

Now there are more overweight people in America than average-weight people. So overweight people are now average. Which means you've met your New Year's resolution."

Jay Leno (1950 – )

Do You Really Know Who You Are?

September 15, 2010 By kwmccarthy

Do you really know who you are? Are you maturing or just getting older?

Purpose is ultimately a spiritual matter. Most of us are on neutral ground when we talk in terms of mind, body, spirit. For two decades people of many faiths and even people of no faith have participated in and benefited from the On-Purpose^® Approach as it is. It just works because the principles are universal!

When Central Florida Christian Chamber of Commerce President Mark Goldstein urged me to offer the program from a solidly Christian point of view to the Chamber members, I resisted. Not because I was unwilling, but because I am the Board Chair and didn't want to abuse my position. Mark pressed hard upon me and prevailed with the Board's blessings. Could they really say no? See the problem?

My Christian faith is the central point of integration for my life. Generally, I don't wear it on my sleeve, nor do I hide it. I like the idea of having "living water language" that is both secular and sacred. So much of Christianity is riddled with jargon and scripture references that is an unnecessary barrier to entry to the faith. Jesus taught in parables when not dealing with the religious elites. On-Purpose makes faith more accessible to all.

Therefore, in partnership with the Central Florida Christian Chamber of Commerce, I am thrilled to share with you the replay of the first ever On-Purpose Leader Experience for Christians. Here is a link so you can listen. (55 minutes plus 20 minutes of Q&A)

If you are serious about maturing as a leader of your life, then you want to invest an hour of your life to transform your life. This six-week experience is that good. Registration for this experience closes after Monday, September 20. Please listen in and join me for the next five weeks so you, too, can…

Be On-Purpose!

On-Purpose Profile: Michelle Aguilar

August 22, 2010 By kwmccarthy

Weight loss has a definite physical component, but there is so much more to being well. Our heart and soul, however, are what's often eating at us and why we eat to fill the void. This video
from the I Am Second series with Michelle Aguilar, a winner of The Biggest Loser TV show, provides great insight into the cause and cure. (Click on the image below of Michelle to watch the video.)

After watching Michelle's story, continue to view many more stories of some famous and not so famous people and why they are second.
