In the first part to this article I showed you how your health and fitness results are a direct result of your health and fitness decisions. You are responsible whether you like it or not. In this second part to the article, I share with you what all Powerfully Positive People know, hat is how saying you are not responsible robs you of your health and fitness power, while taking responsibility, give you all the power you need. Plus I share the one big step you need to take as soon as you have taken responsibility.

When you do not take responsibility for you health and fitness, you rob yourself of the majority of your power over your health and fitness. You may say “I am this way because of my genes, or my metabolism.” Well what influence do you have over your genes or metabolism? Very little or none. If you grant power over your health and fitness to external influences your outlook is bleak. You have no chance. The world is a scary place, and you are at its mercy.

On the other hand, if you say “My genes and metabolism are just an influence on me, and I am ultimately responsible for my health and fitness” you claim back your power (didn’t you feel a little of that power as your read those words?). The world is a brighter place and you can for the most part, chose what you do, where you go, and what you achieve.

Those who have taken responsibility for their health and fitness are plain to see. They are the sports stars, and athletes that are idolised (don’t you have a favourite sport’s hero?), or those fit people that you know which everyone takes notice of and admires. Every one of these people has taken responsibility for their health and fitness.

Once you tell yourself that you are responsible for your health and fitness, and that you are able to work with influences such as genes, metabolism, or the lingering effects of past illnesses or injuries, you must take THE FIRST BIG STEP.

What is this first big step?

It is to start getting yourself a health and fitness education.

Most people’s health and fitness education stopped the moment they left school, or college. Your health education should be a life long study, rather than just a few years in formal education. Rather than your teachers being responsible for your education, you need to realise that you need to be responsible, and responsible on an on going basis for the rest of your life. It is only by acquiring this knowledge will you know how to act to ensure that you become healthy and fit and remain so for the rest of your life (like me learning about the effects of smoking on my sight).

And it is not difficult. Taken a little bit at a time over the rest of your life, it is easy, and becomes, enjoyable and second nature. Health knowledge is all around. In newspapers, magazines, on the television, books, and on the internet. And as soon as you tell yourself that you want to learn what you are reading, you will automatically take more in and remember it more. And the more times you read something, the more it sinks in. Make yourself the habit of reading every health and fitness article twice. You’ll be amazed at the results.

What about the maze and masses of often conflicting information out there? Well, I can tell you from experience that this is a little bit of a myth. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you’ll find that the maze is not as big as you expected it to be.

So decide today to become a Powerfully Positive Person, and empower yourself by taking responsibility for your health and fitness, and start getting your lifelong health and fitness education.

Not all anti aging wrinkle creams are created equal. Unfortunately, the consumer is bombarded with products that simply do not live up to their name. There are many anti aging wrinkle cream websites that display false information, fake testimonials and fake before-after images. Whatever product you choose, there are certain components of many anti aging wrinkle creams you need to avoid. Read on so you can make an educated choice and be confident you are on your way to a younger you with a quality anti aging wrinkle cream.

Cosmetic companies want your money – at any cost. One main component of many anti aging creams is collagen. We naturally produce collagen in our skin, and as we age, the skin\’s ability to produce collagen lessens. Collagen is what gives skin strength and elasticity. The collagen that makes up part of these creams comes from animal sources. What these companies do not tell you is that collagen cannot penetrate the skin, and is washed off when we shower or bath and so to say, the softer, younger you is thrown out with the bath water! Collagen is an important anti aging protein, and it is best you stick to products that include ingredients that regenerate natural collagen.

Another anti aging component is elastin. Like collagen, elastin is naturally produced by the body. Elastin is what gives our skin its elasticity; returning skin to its original position when poked or pinched. If you plan on getting an anti aging cream with elastin, do not waste your time. Both elastin and collagen protiens are too large to penetrate the skin. As will collagen, find a product that helps regenerate elastin naturally in the skin.

Skin aging is caused by many things from the fat content of the skin to dehydration to the lack of collagen produced in the skin. When a company says their product gives you everything you need to lessen your wrinkles and tighten your skin, make sure you read the ingredients. Most anti aging creams do little more than temporarily cover up your skin. If the truth be known, you probably would need a variety of different products used together to help maintain good skin health. Who wants to spend all the money it would cost to get all these products?

If you are serious of improving your skin, getting rid of wrinkles and aging skin, then stop looking at the hype many cosmetic companies throw at you. They are ripping you off with products that do not help. Visit my website and get valuable information on products that will get the job done right. Do not spend another penny on worthless hyped-up creams.
