100 Days, 100 Ways: Bonus #2: Go For A Walk
GO FOR A WALK!
Want to clear your head? Want to start feeling better? Want to lose a little bit of weight?
Well you can! You can buy going for a walk. Nothing fancy, a simple 30 minute walk at least three times a week will do wonders.
Go by yourself or go with someone you love but get out there and do it.
If you go with someone you love try not to talk about work or family or the bills or anything negative. Just walk and enjoy each other's company.
If you go by yourself then you already there just you, your thoughts and nature. Enjoy the scenery enjoyed a fresh air and most of all enjoy your time alone.
Walking for 30 minutes at least three times a week will get your metabolism going which then causes weight loss. It also gets the old bones moving and that's a good thing.
Ideally, you should be going for seven times a week (once a day) but at least three times to start and definitely for 30 minutes (uninterrupted 30 minutes).
See you on the walking path.
Thank you,
Dave Guerra

100 Days, 100 Ways: Day 100: LOVE: Make It, Take It
As we reach this the last day of the 100 Days, 100 Ways to Better Living and even Better Thinking, I hope, I was able to give you something to think about.
Good or Bad, it was always my intent to give you something that you could carry with you for all the remaining days of your life.
A word of warning: Just because we are at Day 100 does not mean that I am done. Oh no, not by a long shot!!! There is plenty more to come. A lot more. So please stick around.
Now on to today's 100 Days, 100 Ways entry:
Even though we are at the end of this Journey there is something you need to remember most of all. By now, most of you know this but so many times we need to be reminded.
Now I will defer to the late John Lennon, the late George Harrison, the Great Ringo Starr, and Sir Paul McCartney for the following line that sums up what I want you to remember now and always:
"And in the end
the LOVE you take
is equal to
the LOVE you make."
So go out and make it, it's only the ONLY way to take it!
Thank you,
David G. Guerra

100 Days, 100 Ways: Day 96: Have A Plan (A Life Plan)
Have a Plan (A Life Plan)
Throughout our entire lives we are told have a plan . Always have a Plan A!
Of course, with a Plan A you must have a Plan B.
I mean, no good Plan A goes without a Plan B.
As we all know, plan B is always the Backup Plan!Plan B should only be used when Plan A fails.
But what happens when you don't have a plan A? It's highly doubtful you have a Plan B ready to go.
Therefore, you should always have a Plan A. That plan which is can be considered your Life Plan.
Everyone should have a Life Plan. A plan that has your hopes, dreams, vision, and goals for the future. However, it should not be a plan that is so detailed that every minute for the next 50 years is planned but one detailed enough to know what you really want to do and how you plan to get there.
Of course, that Life Plan should always be revised and refined. Times change, people change, and situations change and so must your Life Plan. Keep It Up-To-Date!
Putting your Life Plan in order is something that will take time. Start putting the plan in order by writing it down on paper. Once on paper, you can start working towards achieving your goals and put your Life Plan into action.
Then once you put your Life Plan into action there will be NO need for a Plan B
Give it a try!
Thanks,
Dave Guerra

100 Days, 100 Ways: Day 94: Stop! Collaborate (and listen)
Stop! Collaborate (and Listen)!
You've heard the song… I've heard the song … The whole world has heard the song…
But there is some truth to it; well at least the Collaborate part of the song.
Collaborate!
This means that you should not be afraid to ask for help.
This also means you should not be afraid to work with others, either intentionally or accidentally on purpose. Of course, there will be things and you will want to do yourself. And you should do as much as you can yourself. However, when things get a little tough or the going gets rough there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking for help.
And by the same token, there is absolutely nothing wrong for you to get help when someone is asking for your assistance.
Remember, a house gets built twice as fast with two sets of hands.
Thank you,

100 Days, 100 Ways: Day 89: Keep Your Brain Sharp
ALWAYS Keep Your Brain Sharp.
The vast majority of us are stuck in ruts. We do the SAME thing over and over again. We see the SAME people day in, day out. Eat the SAME food, Go to the SAME Places.
We become MEDIOCRE.
That's not a good thing. When we settle in, we become LAZY. When we become LAZY our brain starts to shut down. It starts to go into minimal life support mode. Only the necessary functions to sustain life are running. Thus the mind starts to go numb.
Before you slip and slide your way into a vegetative state why not do something NEW? Something EXCITING!
Getting yourself into something new will keep your brain working on all cylinders and keep it sharp. Remember, to continually do new things otherwise what is new today will be old tomorrow and that leads to mediocrity and that leads to laziness. So Keep Trying New Things!!!
Thank you,
Dave Guerra

100 Days, 100 Ways: Day 86: Learn To Forgive
LEARN TO FORGIVE.
Learning to forgive is something that very many people don't know how to do but DEMAND that others do it without hesitation or reservation. People for some reason find it easy to create and hold on to GRUDGES. Grudges serve no purpose to no one other that the holder. It serves to CREATE more MISERY and ANGER. Nothing good comes from holding a Grudge, as it prevents any good work to be done on the relationship.
I make mistakes all the time. YOU make mistakes all the time. I forgive when someone trespasses against me. YOU CAN FORGIVE when others do something against you. It's called Mercy.
So you can sit there remaining angry at someone who has long since forgiven you or you can join them and forgive and move the relationship to a healthy place (whatever and wherever it may be).
Forgiving also removes undo and VERY UNNECESSARY stress and brings an overall feeling of refreshing renewal. And that's a good thing. And that's when the real healing can begin.
If you have trespassed against me (in some form or fashion) I Forgive You,
Dave

100 Days, 100 Ways: Day 83: Be Frugal? (OK, be a little frugal)
Be Frugal?
OK, maybe not too frugal. Learn to be frugal enough in that you are actually saving money. With the increasing cost of food, fuel, and home it can be a little difficult to be frugal. However, with a little work and knowing how and where to look you can find savings in just about anyplace you look or shop.
Now, don't let the economy dictate what you buy and how much you spend for what you buy. There are plenty of fantastic resources out on the internet that are there to help you. I personally could not live without GASBUDDY.COM and all its participants to provide up to date gasoline pricing information, then again I drive a little more often than the regular and the need to find the lowest prices is greater for me. Then again I couldn't tell you if $1.39 for a pound of cucumbers is a good deal.
Also, don't consider yourself as "cheap" or a "cheapskate" remember in these modern times the person who can make the dollar go the farthest is truly the real winner!
Now Go Out There and Save Some Money,

100 Days, 100 Ways: Day 79: Get Your Library Card
Did you know that your local library is a gateway to a world of knowledge?
I'm more than certain you knew that! I am also certain that you know that your Library Card is your passport to that world. So when was the last time you visited your local library?
Remember, back in grade school all the fun you had when you would go to the library? Why not recapture some of that fun and go find all the treasures, at your local library, that you have been missing out.
While you are there be sure to get your library card. It will not only expand your horizons but you will be able to do that at a very reduce price (which in most cases is FREE!)

100 Days, 100 Ways: Day 78: About The Rubber Band Method
Another method? Yep, this time it's the "Rubber Band Method" and it's gonna STING!
The "Rubber Band Method" is as simple as the Burning Method however...
There's always a HOWEVER.
However, the Rubber Band Method involves wearing a rubber band around your wrist. Here's the STING: Whenever you get ANY negative thoughts you snap that band against your skin.
Do this EVERYTIME and before you know it you will be conditioned to associate pain with the negative thoughts so you start weening yourself of those thoughts in order to avoid the pain.
It may be rough, at first, but when you are no longer snapping that band against your skin you will Thank Yourself and so will your wrist :)
Till next time,
Dave Guerra

100 Days, 100 Ways: Day 77: About The BURNING METHOD
Have you heard of the‘Burning Method’?
If so, are you employing it on a consistent basis?
If you have not heard of it well the Burning Method is real simple.
The Burning Method works best when you have an issue that you have to deal with with and it causes you fear or worry or any form of anxiety.
What you do is next is up to you: You can do this in real life or in your mind.
Write the issue that is causing you fear, worry or anxiety on a piece of paper.
Next, set that piece of paper alight and watch it burn. As the paper burns so goes your fear.
*POOF* a little flame, a little smoke, and some ashes later and there goes your problem.
The next time that issue rears its ugly head in your mind remember that you got rid of it when you burned into non-existence.
IMPORTANT: Please have a Fire Extinguisher close by when using the Burning Method.
Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires,
Dave Guerra

100 Days, 100 Ways: Day 76: Focus On Getting Good (on something)
Being Good at Something, anything, is something that everyone should have in their personal bag of tricks.
If it's a hobby all the better because you are having fun doing it. If it's a passion then even better because you are emotionally rooted in that something.
What is that something?
It does not matter what that something is. It can run the gamut of stamp collecting to magic tricks to playing a ukelele and anything in between. Just pick something and be the best in the world.
Thank you,Dave Guerra

100 Days, 100 Ways: Day 75: Visualize What You Want As Already Yours
Visualize What You Want As Already Yours.
In the book, "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill, the author tells the readers one huge secret to success is to visualize on what you want and that is what you get.
So if you see yourself living a healthy lifestyle then making it happen is as easy as pie :)
Seriously, all it takes is daily visualization. Focus on what you want at least twice a day until you condition your subconscious and you develop a habit: a habit of wanting and doing what it takes to get what you want. Once that habit is formed it is there to stay. It is also reassuring to know that habits are so very hard to break.
Thus you keep on visualizing and working to make that visualization a reality gets easier and easier with each passing day. Before you know it, you have got what you wanted.
Thank you,
Dave Guerra

100 Days, 100 Ways: Day 74: Arrive Early
Arrive Early.
When was the last time you arrived early for a meeting?
Make it a point to leave 10 minutes earlier than you planned (15 if your destination is more than 20 miles away, 30 if it is an hour or more away).
Arrive early enough to get yourself freshened up or at least to get your mind wrapped around the meeting, event, gathering or whatever you are arriving early for and NOT on the traffic or the obstacles that delayed your arrival.
Thanks,
Dave Guerra

100 Days, 100 Ways: Day 73: Go Outside
Spending time outside.
Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall...it doesn't matter what time of year get your butt outside ASAP!
Go to the beach, go to the mountains, go to a park, go for a walk in your neighborhood, it doesn't matter, what does matter is that you get outside and see the real world for what it is: REAL!
Go Outside and Visit Mother Nature (often), she misses you.

100 Days, 100 Ways: Day 72: Be A Lifelong Learner
Become a Lifelong Learner.
When you graduate High School or College or Grad School should NOT be the end of your learning.
Continuing your education can be as simple as cracking open a book to taking an online class. Heck, you can sign up for a cooking class at the local community college. Even online webinars can change your life.
So, why not give it a shot and take a chance at learning something new?
Who knows you might just learn something?

100 Days, 100 Ways: Day 71: Get to work on an Emergency Fund
Having an emergency fund is something that everyone should ALWAYS either be building up or in place (and then adding more). Those rainy days can happen at any time. Usually, rain days don't always come in the form of a Hurricane just ask the Tornado victims of Joplin, Missouri.
Rainy Days are not always about the weather. They can be a job loss, a mechanical failure of your automobile, or the ruptured water line.
While things are better than the worst thing that could happen start saving. Save what you can, when you can or you can set a goal that goes a little something like this: "In 36 months I will have saved enough money to cover six months of pay."
Half a year's pay is definitely something doable especially if you put your mind and wallet into it. Start as soon as possible, your future self will thank you for it.
Thank you,
Dave Guerra
P.S. I do invite you to join the conversation and tell me what you think about any of the postings so far.

100 Days, 100 Ways: Day 70: Cut Yourself Some Slack
We are the inventors of our own DEMISE.
So cut yourself some slack!
As individuals, many of us tend to SABOTAGE our happiness for numerous reasons. For some unexplained reason we create obstacles that make achieving happiness almost impossible. We self-impose rules that are designed to be almost impossible to successfully keep. Then when you can't keep those rules you feel bad and guilty for not doing more, even when you were doing all you could.
So why not ease up on your own rules and on yourself.
Take this subtle reminder from the great Italian sculptor, painter, and architect MICHELANGELO: “The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.”
Thank you,
Dave Guerra

100 Days, 100 Ways: Day 69: About Burning Bridges (Don't Do It!!!)
You've hear the old saying: "Don’t burn bridges"
While many people may be tempted to throw gasoline and fire a flare on that bridge that connects us to the past (past jobs, past relationships, past experiences, you name it).
Like Cortez did when he came to the new world, scuttled his boats (he actually sank them) and making a new life with no turning back. Well, we know how that turned out for Cortez. While there may be a need for "burning bridges" as in Cortez's case, he was trying to prevent further mutiny among the crew.
However, for the most part when you quit your job or end a relationship (within limits) there is absolutely no real need to burn the bridge with that organization or individual(s). Who knows what happens in the future and you might need some kind of assistance from someone in your past. It would be best to keep things civil because the one person that could possibly help you the most might just be the one person you wanted to tell off the most but didn't.

100 Days, 100 Ways: Day 67: Pick Your Friends Wisely
Pick your friends wisely.
They say you become like the 5 people you spend the most time with. Well, then I am in VERY GOOD company. What about you?
Do those 5 share your values? or do they tell you that taking the shortcut is the ONLY way to go?
Do they honestly and genuinely want to hear and listen YOU talk about YOUR goals, hopes, and dreams? or are they ONLY concerned about themselves and what you can DO FOR THEM?
Do they ENCOURAGE you to shoot for the moon? or do they tell you that you can't do it so why bother?
Seriously, if the path you want to take for your life is paved with those individuals that only care about the next party, who will be buying the next round, or how to get over on others then you might just be on the wrong path.
If you keep veering off that path and into a dark alley way that you will call REGRET come Sunday morning then it's time to seriously consider removing those who ARE NOT there for you and who ARE ONLY there when you have a ride to offer or a drink to buy. Even if you know fully well that the behavior may have been somewhat expect of an individual in her early 20s, rest assured it is NOT tolerated NOR expected of a PROFESSIONAL in his late 30s.
However, if you like being dragged into negative behavior like those around you, then I say "good luck to you."
You have to make a choice and YOU have to know that it will be a difficult journey when it comes to picking the right people to have in your life. The path to getting to those friends that will only make your LIFE BETTER may be a lonely path, an uphill climb but eventually you will clear the way for those individuals that will PUSH you up the hill and brace you for that fast downhill course.
Lastly, when it comes to PICKING YOUR FRIENDS don't think of tomorrow or of next week, this friendship is a vacancy you mean to PERMANENTLY FILL.
Thank you,

100 Days, 100 Ways: Day 65: Write MORE!!!
Back on Day 1, I introduced you to starting a daily journal and if you had been keeping up with that journal you would have a new habit up and running.
So, if you have ever thought about writing a book or a collection of short stories you are well on your way. Continue your daily journal entries and when you are ready the author in you will come shining out.
If you are not writing at least twice a week and you want to be an author well then it's time to kick it up a notch or two. The only way to improve your writing skills is to write MORE and OFTEN.
The only way to write more and often is to MAKE TIME to do it!
Remember to dedicate your first book to me,
Dave Guerra

100 Days, 100 Ways: Day 64: Be Mysterious
Be mysterious.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with pulling a "James Bond". You don't have to show your cards to everyone you meet. You don't have to tell people that you like your martini's shaken and not stirred.
Keep them guessing just a LITTLE bit.
Be careful because sometimes it is quite easy to alienate yourself from others.
Thank you,

There is absolutely nothing wrong with pulling a "James Bond". You don't have to show your cards to everyone you meet. You don't have to tell people that you like your martini's shaken and not stirred.
Keep them guessing just a LITTLE bit.
Be careful because sometimes it is quite easy to alienate yourself from others.
Thank you,
Dave G.

100 Days, 100 Ways Day 60: Help Yourself By Helping Others
There are countless reasons why HELPING OTHERS has a long, deep, and far reaching ripple effect! Did you know that helping others also helps you. Yep, you help yourself every time you help others.
You help yourself by feeling good about yourself, your SELF-ESTEEM gets a big boost. Your interpersonal relationship skills get better. You open yourself up to be trusted and you trust others. Strangers become Friends. All of those are good feelings, good emotions, a good way to live.
So grab yourself a hammer, a pen, or a hand and go HELP SOMEONE.
Who knows the person you help today may be the very same person that will help you later?
Thanks, Dave Guerra

100 Days, 100 Ways Day 59: Grow from Your Mistakes
We all mistakes. We are made of mistakes. Our lives are full of mistakes and will contain many, many more mistakes.
Our future will be determined by our mistakes. There are ONLY two paths that we can take when it comes to the future. 1) We can continue to make mistakes we have made in the past or 2) we can learn and grow from the mistakes and do what it takes to avoid them from happening again.
Really! Only two paths to take.
It is that simple: Let the mistake happen, Admit to the mistake, Recognize and Understand what happened and why.
Then when you find yourself in that situation again you can act in way that will not yield the same return/response thus making the mistake is avoided. That's how you grow as an individual from your mistakes.
Thanks,
Dave Guerra

100 Days, 100 Ways Day 58: Read “Art of Peace” by Morihei Ueshiba
Pacifist...Antagonist...Liberal...Conservative...Soldier...Civilian... It doesn't matter, just read “Art of Peace” by Morihei Ueshiba.
This book is NOT the opposite of Sun Tzu's Art of War. Quite the contrary, it complements Sun Tzu. By the same token, Art of War complements Art of Peace. Though written many years apart the go well together. They are the perfect example of the "Yin" and the "Yang" in their ability to co-exist in way that the balance that Art of Peace and Art of War bring to the individual is something that cannot be explain but it can be experienced.
The Art of Peace deals with our inner conflicts and how to resolve them. How to live with a new, refined you. If change is what you truly seek, then this book is another to include in your library of growth and change.
The following is an excerpt:
"The Art of Peace begins with you. Work on yourself and your appointed task in the Art of Peace. Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here for no other purpose than to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment. Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter."
You can get your own copy from:
Amazon.com | Barnes & Noble | Alibris
Peace be with you,
Dave Guerra

100 Days, 100 Ways Day 56: Read “Art of War” by Sun Tzu
Pacifist...Antagonist...Liberal...Conservative...Soldier...Civilian... It doesn't matter, read “Art of War” by Sun Tzu. This book has been read all over the world, by a wide variety of people. Of course, you don't have to be studying war to read this book. The Art of War has "had an influence on Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy and beyond" thus making this book suitable for just about anyone.
The following excerpt best describes why the Art of War is important:
“Sun Tzu said: The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected. The art of war, then, is governed by five constant factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations, when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field. These are: The Moral Law; Heaven; Earth; The Commander; Method and discipline.”
You can get your own copy at your local book store or you can visit the following:
The Art of War by Sun Tzu - Project Gutenberg
The Art of War by Sun Tzi - Free Download & Streaming audio from Librivox
The Art of War, Restored version of Lionel Giles translation: Direct link to PDF PDF (216 KB))

100 Days, 100 Ways Day 53: Leave Your Comfort Zone
I know I have touch on this subject (usually as part of another subject) in the past. It is such a great topic that it deserves a day all to itself.
Leaving your comfort zone is something that many of us HAVE TO do when we change jobs, change schools, change relationships.
Rarely is leaving our COMFORT ZONE something we do because we CHOOSE TO do.
You know Eleanor Roosevelt (the President's wife) is credited to have said, “Do one thing every day that scares you.”
Talk about leaving your comfort zone. EVERY DAY and be sure that whatever you do that it SCARES YOU!
Now that's SERIOUS.
Leaving the comfort zone on a consistent and deliberate basis has its benefits. It helps lessen your anxiety to change whether it is expected or unexpected. Stepping outside your comfort zone EXPOSES you to new ideas, new ways of thinking, and new ways of seeing things from a different perspective.
Who doesn't like seeing things from a new point of view or experiencing something new and exciting? Now, I am not saying that you should go out and jump from a balloon that's 24 miles up in the sky but what I am saying is do something that will at least challenge you.
Before you know it, your comfort zone will be so large that it may eventually be impossible to step out of.
Now, get out there and DO SOMETHING.
Talk to you soon,
Dave Guerra

100 Days, 100 Ways Day 52: Drink H2O (and lots of it)
Drink Plenty of Water.
All around you a $12 Billion/year industry knows what is good for you. Those $12 Billion come from the bottled water sales. That's a lot of High Quality H20.
The human body is over 70% water. The human brain consists of over 70%, as well. There is no mention of Dr. Pepper being an essential part of keeping the body hydrated. Diet Coke..uh, well...just forget it there ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, NO NUTRITIONAL VALUE. Oh sure, Dr. Pepper ® and Diet Coke ® have water in it, but the sugars and other artificial chemicals completely NEGATE the benefits the water in the soft drink may have.
Some where between 8 to 10 cups of water every day should do you nicely. It should keep you hydrated enough to keep all your bodily systems operating nominally and in a healthy state.
Put that Dr. Pepper® back in the refrigerator case and instead pour yourself a tall cool glass of H20 (water) and enjoy.
Cheers,Dave Guerra
