Solo Dolo

I just walked out of the movies. I went alone to go see Lawless. (Great film. Must see) It was a very liberating experience.

 Some people think I am weird, but I like to do most things by myself. Get my nails done, go shopping, and yes... go to the movies. Maybe it is just me ( I don’t think it is) ,but when I go places by myself the world slows down. I start to notice my surroundings more. (partly because I am looking around making sure no one is about to pull out a gun and rob me.) But I also am more aware of myself. When I am away from friends I start to notice that I am just like everyone else. We are all just on small portion of this world. Sometimes, we forget that and focus on how large we are in our own individual worlds.

CONFESSION: I was sitting in the theatre and cried 3 times. Not when someone died, not when someone was being all lovey dovey, but when  nothing really big or emotional was happening. I cried because I was doing exactly what I wanted to do, exactly when I wanted to do it. I went and grabbed a sandwich at the exact place I wanted to go to. I had spent the day doing everything on my terms. Days like this can not always happen, but they should happen more often then not.

Have these moments more. Take time to be alone. Just you and your thoughts. It is in those “lonely” moments you remember how amazing you are. When no one is around laughing at you, pointing, or hating. When you can be your true self. When you are fearless. Find a pass time that you can do all by your self. During this "self enjoyment time" the question that has been haunting you (the one you knew you had but could not figure out how to ask) will be answered.

The more time you spend alone, the more you will begin to learn your strengths. You will become more familiar with your talents, so you do not have to hate on others for knowing their's. 

Me           Myself        and I

Make sure to spend some time alone, so you can than in return share what you have discovered with the world.

Just some food for thought, because I love to eat.

Let Others Stand Up for Themselves!!!

You may believe in signs, you may not. But either way, if you look up the characteristics of a Leo you can basically understand who I am. And being the lovely Leo that I am, I get very protective of people that I am with. My habit to defend has got me into arguments and made me unwelcome amongst certain groups. At the end of the day it is not worth it to defend someone who is unwilling to defend themselves.

I have finally learned my lesson. You have to let people fight their own battles. I am not saying that you should not have your friends back; You should! BUT make sure they have their own back first. If someone is going to let someone talk to them in a disrespectful matter and say nothing, then they are showing that they either don't mind or don't want the comment to turn into a battle. So follow suite. Respect the "victims" observed wishes. You have enough moments in your own life where you have to decide how to react to criticism and haters, so don't add more drama into your life by deciding to defend others. When you see a "victim" standing up for themselves, than have their back, but not a moment before. If they don't mind you shouldn't either.

Just some food for thought, because I love to eat!

When You're Low, Help Someone Who is Lower!!

Most of us have hard lives. Who is to blame? Many will point the finger at others or society, when in all actuality they should point the finger at themselves. Regardless of who is to blame, and regardless of how you choose to deal with it, there are always people who are worse off then you. (Don't you hate when people say that?) However annoying that statement is, it still remains true. That is exactly why I suggest, whenever you reach a time in your life when you begin to feel self pity (the stupidest emotion on this planet), go help others.

Last November, when I was attacked, I spent many a day in bed looking at myself in the mirror crying. Especially when Thanksgiving came around, because I could not go out and be with my family. Wobbling and limping I decided to go out and feed other families their Thanksgiving dinner. And, although I had to sit down every now and then (I was still healing) I stopped feeling so bad for myself. I was feeding people that had mental problems, and many people who came in all alone. I had taken for granted the love that I had from my family and my friends. Seeing people who were missing that love made me realize that I did not have it so bad. 

I forgot this feeling though. I feel bad admitting this, but I have not volunteered in a few months. ( I use to ATLEAST once a week.) But on Monday I really felt like I needed to. I had hit a plateau in my life. Many blessings are beginning to unfold, but slower then I would like them too. I felt this "why not me? Why not yet?" feeling coming over me. I needed to knock that feeling. 

So I linked with Mel. This amazing guy that started Monday Night Mission (which has actually turned into 5 nights a week) We all meet and make sandwiches and then as a group we go down to Skid-Row at night (Yes, at night) And we pass out food. 

It is such a humbling experience. You will see people with mental disabilities that have been deserted, people with drug issues, and people who are just down and out. (More stories soon) Some people yell at you (even after you have given them food), there are drug dealers down there who mock us the entire time, the police will even harass the group sometimes (power trip) and it just really puts your own life into perspective. I left feeling very uplifted. That day my life mattered, because I helped someone else's. 

I want to make one thing clear. I am not saying go help others, because it will remind you that you are better than someone else. I am saying that there is no reason to sit in the house crying because you may have to go a month without paying your phone bill. Instead, you can go out and make at least two peoples lives better. (Your life and whom ever you choose to help.) Stop focusing on all the things that you can not do right now, and realize every day you have the option to go out and make the world better. No matter the money in your pocket, or the clothes on your back. 

Just some food for thought, because I love to eat!

HerbaLife

Hey Everyone! I have been working with HerbaLife for about the last month now, and the same questions usually come up. I decided to do a blog to let you know more about the products and why I would recommend HerbaLife. I broke it down in a question answer formant so you can skip around if you want.

What is HerbaLife?

HerbaLife is a nutrition product company. There are weight-loss replacement shakes, bars, protein shakes, supplements, workout enhancers, face moisturizers, shampoos. There are pills to help with weak joints, your digestion, stress, anxiety, your heart, and much more.The company works to improve your inner and outer nutrition needs.

How do I sign up?

Herbalife is not sold in any stores. If you would like to purchase the product you must go through a Herbalife distributer like myself. (If you email me at LeviLewi11@yahoo.com and give me your contact info we can set up a call to discuss which products would be best for you, in order to get the results you want.)

How do I pay?

If you are in the same area as the distributer you are talking to, they may meet you and come pick up your cash for your order. Sending a money order or check in the mail is a popular method for most of my clients. You can also do a wire transfer.

Can I just buy online?

Yes. However, some distributors this may not be true for, as online shopping requires that a distributer go through a certain training to be allowed to do so. I have went through that training. If you go to www.GoHerbaLife.com/LexsiLewis and fill out the customer form, I will approve you, and you will be able to purchase HerbaLife products online with your credit card.

Does HerbaLife work?

Yes! I lost 10lbs in 3 weeks, and also for the first time since my junior year of high school I do not have a pain when I work out in my right knee. I was taking 2 naps a day and once I since taking the tea I can honestly say I have not taken one nap. I have not needed to. I have also lost 7% body fat. There are also people with numerous stories of gaining weight due to lean muscle growth.

Will I get the same results?

The same results are not guaranteed. Everyone's body reacts differently. I personally have not met anyone that has stuck with their set nutrition plan and not started to see desired results. HERBALIFE IS NOT A MAGIC PILL AND YOU WILL NOT BE GET RESULTS BY DRINKIN SHAKES, AND THEN EATING MCDONALDS!!

Why should I use HerbaLife over al the other products?

First of all let me start by saying, Herbalife is not the only product that works. Plenty of people get results other ways. HerbaLife has worked for me, and that is why I suggest it. I liked HerbaLife because it stress' nutrition and not weight loss or gain. Herbalife has a big community as well, through its social media and fit clubs I have met a new group of people that are just as interested as being healthy as I am, and it makes it easier to stick to your nutrition plan when you have a team pushing you as well. I call it Herbavation! lol

Do I need to work out to see results?
The products will give you results by just taking them. BUT For best results, YES you should still go to the gym. HerbaLife is not just a product. If you are signing up to be a customer be prepared for a Lifestyle change. This is a product that you can and should use for life. Fitness is 20% of it and your nutrition is the other 80% BUT they both matter.

How do I become a distributer?

Again if you email me at LeviLewi11@yahoo.com I can give you further details.

What are the benefits of becoming a distributer?

The first benefit is once you are a distributer you can begin purchasing the products at a discount. Also, there is only a one time fee. I make my own schedule,work from home, and decided if I am going to work today or hit the beach. Becoming a distributer has given me freedom.  The money you make depends on the effort you put into it.

If you all have any other questions you may want answered, leave a comment. Others will probably have the same questions and you may help them out as well.

Just some food for thought, because I love to eat!

Breaking Up With Mr. Lists

I know you guys were expecting another post a few days ago, but the video I made for you guys needed a little more editing. We'll ignore that for now.... (Please) lol

I want to talk about lists!! Untill 2 weeks ago I depended on lists. Grocery lists, to do lists, wish lists...the lists could go on!  They can be very helpful., because although he brain is powerful, memory is not the best thing to rely in. We're humans, we make mistakes, and many a time that mistake is followed by the statement... "Ooops! I totally forgot" <----- That statement is why myself and others start scribbling down lists!

1)Take out the trash on Wednesday

2) Call Tana back

3)Pay Money for class on Saturday

About two weeks ago I decided to take a break from lists. I went through all my old notebooks and I kept finding all these lists that had half the "to-do's" crossed out and the other half just sitting there, and unfinished. That is when I noticed the flaws in lists, as important as they are to staying organized, they can also be disheartening. If you are trying to start something new, and you need to do 21 different things you may find yourself barely accomplishing 1. Since my break up with lists I have transformed into a doer. I focus on what needs to be done now, and when I finish one thing I am on to the next. Sometimes we see the whole picture and we get so overwhelmed by what the final project is suppose to be. 

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." 

Lao-tzu

^^^^ We can't forget that! I am pretty sure that me and lists will start dating again soon, but when we do our relationship will be different! I'm going to let Mr. Lists know that sometimes he gets a little overbearing and that he is going to have to be my side boo, because Mr. Execute stole my heart!

Just some food for thought, because I love to eat!

Do what is right. Not what is Comfortable

It is good to give, it is good to turn the other cheek when someone wrongs you, and it is polite to not call out people when they make mistakes. But you can not always do this. If you are working on a team and someone is messing up you can not be so worried about being polite that you let things continue to go wrong. Your "politeness" may be the very thing that gets YOU fired.

If a friend is in an abusive relationship with drugs or a man you have to say something. Some people will not say anything because they think they will loose a friend, because they are going to have to tell the person that is abusing, words they do not want to hear. You have to realize that by not saying something, you are truly risking never seeing them again. They may wind up dead if you do not risk them getting mad at you!

A majority of the time, the right thing is not the easy thing, but it is always the better thing! Be better!

New Years Resolutions!

First and foremost...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! It's 2012!!!! 

The funniest things about this time of year are probably the unrealistic diet plans!! People usually tell themselves around this time of year that they can do all these things that they have never done before. If you eat chocolate everyday it is ssooooo unrealistic that you are about to go 3 months with out one bite! If you never work out you probably wont start working out 6 days a week. If you gossip all day and are still around the same people, you'll be gossiping in two days, and if you have a shopping problem, it is not going to stop just because you are not going to go to the mall for one week!

The problem with most people's new years resolutions is that they are unrealistic!!! Last year I tried to give up drinking and did for about four months. And than I drank again, but I did realize drinking became less appealing to me, so I now drink a couple times in a month. I also wanted to get in the habit of praying more and I started with praying right before I went to bed. I now pray when I wake, every time I eat, when I leave my house, before I do any audition, when I see news of sickness, before I go to bed, basically as much as possible. These two situations made me realize the solution to all these failed new years resolutions.

You should not expect or put all this pressure on the first month of the year. Yes, it is a great time to start these new better habits, but realize you do not have to accomplish everything you want at once. You are making a New YEAR resolution. You make these so on new year's eve you can reflect and see that after a year's time you have accomplished your goals. Start today but give yourself a break, it is hard breaking old nasty habits. And if you have been doing something for 10, 20, 30+ years the odds are you can not quit that habit in 3 weeks!
