It Is Not Easy Being Strong When There's A World Full Of Bitterness

Everyone cannot always be brave, strong and full of enthusiasm 100% of the time, it just doesn't happen that way. Having my fair share of ups and downs, being physically weak and being beaten up physically and mentally, I understand bitterness at times. I have lashed out in a few places and even lashed out towards people I care about but in the end, it's all just being human. 

Everyone at one point in their lives were weak whether physically, mentally, emotionally or all three at the same time. When we become strong, it's because in many ways, we had to fight hard in order to achieve it. After accomplishing it, what do you plan to do with it? Some people attack weaker individuals because they know they can't fight back or defend themselves by trying to speak up. Some have even had the audacity to make a headline such as Suicide For Weaker Males Might Be The Better Option. What kind of human being does that? You're basically telling someone to kill themselves because they're not strong according to your ways of life. 

Some people do choose to be weak and helpless, that does happen but there's always a story there and whether we think it's boring or moronic or even pitiful it doesn't matter, there's a reason why that is. Others are weak and helpless because nobody helped them and just brushed them off and that's all they know, it is sad yes and we can't always fix everyone but we can do our damndest to try and help someone become strong. The world can be a shitty place, we have forgotten how to take care of one another even with the little things. I'm always learning how to look at things from certain perspectives. Kids today don't know a damn thing but they go on social media, bullying and thinking that they know how a person should live, how they should dress, how they should eat, sleep and be like this or that. They are already trying to figure out who they are but want to turn their confusion and frustration onto somebody else. It is a vicious cycle.

We live in a world where voicing your outrage has become the norm and it overshadows a lot of what is truly positive especially around politics, race, religion, education, social groups, fitness, sports, fashion, body types and a bunch of other things. Sometimes just breathing is hard enough for some people, why do you feel the need to attack? Many people have become so damn bitter and ruthless because of who knows what. Words can break or make a person and it hasn't been this generation that has lost it's element because of a few words. History has shown that words have either ended wars or started them, words that brought people together or have broken them a part, words that manipulated and deceived have also been words that built trust and compassion for others. Words are very powerful, sometimes far more than a deadly weapon and it's because with a deadly weapon, that could easily end a life right then and there, a few words can kill someone slowly over a period of time and suffer for it, that is worse than an easy death. 

 I do the best to my abilities to be a positive person, be encouraging and help someone who wants to set goals but have trouble reaching them. I'm no different or better than anybody. Bitterness brings nothing but pain and suffering. I'm not saying we should be all lovey dovey all the time but the more negative stress you put on yourself, the more of a black hole you won't be able to climb out of. Being positive can impact a person's life more than you can imagine. Sometimes all it takes is one word, one sentence, one speech, one freaking look to change a person's entire being. It isn't easy being strong in a bitter world, so show someone how to be strong, help them find that genius in them and give them a reason to be helpful to others who were once like you. Weakness can mean a lot of things, but everyone has an opportunity to be strong whether physically, mentally, emotionally or all three at the same time. 

The Disneyland Workout System

If you're planning a vacation but want to still stay true to your workouts and your eating habits, there might be a way to do that and make it fun in the process. Disneyland is more than a park where families, friends, couples and kids share the fun atmosphere and go on some cool rides and meet awesome characters, it is a place to stretch your imagination and be more observant to how you apply yourself while having a blast. The most obvious way to workout at the Magic Kingdom is just by doing A LOT of walking. When you're on your feet to get to a ride or in line for food and getting an autograph, there's a few things you can do without looking like a weirdo.

One of my favorite exercises to do while waiting in line is the Wall Sit, if you access to a wall while waiting for let's say Roger Rabbit's Cab Ride, lean up against the wall, keep the back as straight as possible and sit there for as long as you can. It is a great exercise to stretch your knees and working the muscles along the low back, quads and calves. Just breathe deeply and whether you can hold it for 2 seconds or more than a minute it doesn't matter. As you move throughout the line and stop, go back to the wall sit.

You can do a great deal of exercise at your hotel before heading down to the park. The most ideal thing to do if you can help it, is to keep your workouts short so no more than maybe 20 minutes or go swimming in the pool for a while. You want to be fresh for walking around the parks and drink plenty of water. The last time I was at Disneyland was back in 2016 with my girl and we were averaging a good 8-10 miles a day just walking. For her that was plenty plus some good stretching but for me, I like a little more zass to it by doing Isometrics, a little deck of cards workouts and even hold a handstand at a place in California Adventure near Soaring Over California (Now Soarin Over The World). Just moving around the park can be tiring so you want to keep that energy up. Sometimes I walk over to a place to rest and just sit in a catcher's squat and stretch the legs a bit, other times I'll do a min-workout of VRT doing maybe 3 exercises for the upper body to get the blood pumping, it's a refresher for me.

Some rides provide you a way to work your body in order to make it a little more interesting. The Tea Cups has you steering and that can really work your arms. The shoulders, triceps, biceps and forearms all get a great workout and gives you a hell of a pump. Work those arms and try not to get dizzy. Staying stable can also be a challenge on some rides so to get the most out of your core, on some rides such as Indiana Jones, Thunder Mountain Railroad and Space Mountain, do your best to not ram yourself into the sides, keep your core muscles tight and hang on because there are times where you'll rock or be steered hard to the side.

What would be the best workout for your legs other than walking? Go up and down Tarzan's Treehouse. Hell of a cardio booster and you will work practically everything and to make it more interesting, go up two steps at at time instead of one at a time. If there's a ride that has stairs, use them to your advantage. You can burn a hell of a lot of calories at the parks.

Now granted Disneyland doesn't have the greatest quality of healthy foods, you can still find some if you're willing to look for it. Near the Jungle Cruise there's a stand where it provides fruit to help with solid nutrition and hydration. Awesome Fish Tacos at a restaurant near the Golden Horseshoe, great salad options at Pizza Port and some cool healthy sandwiches to find. If staying healthy is important, make it work for you. If you need to kickback a little and have a fun meal, I love to grab a burger near Splash Mountain or get some meaty skewers at the Bengal BBQ. Can't go wrong with a good sandwich on Main Street man.

Make your workouts fun while visiting the parks and have a blast, don't take things too serious and be yourself. Eat the best to your ability and if you happen to grab a pizza or a burger some place, don't worry so much, you'll have plenty of exercise to burn it off by the walking.

Do You Get Enough ‘Muscle Sleep?'

Do you ever feel like you’re really pushing yourself at the gym only to see little to no result in muscle growth?

You’re working out consistently. Putting the time in. Heck, you feel like you’re one of the hardest workers at the gym.

But do your results say different?

You look in the mirror, expecting to see some awesome muscle growth.

And while you notice some improvement, you feel like the big results aren’t coming. The kind of eye-popping results you’ve been dreaming of.

It’s almost like your body is fighting back and refusing to grow.

There are many reasons you can hit a plateau in muscle growth. A big one could be nutrition.

But assuming you have that dialed in, you might also want to check in on your sleeping habits.

You can guzzle protein shakes, scarf down rotisserie chickens, and lift all the weights you want. But your muscles won’t start growing until you shut them down for the night. This happens when we sleep.

While 7-9 hours of sleep per night is a good start, what if I told you deep sleep was even more important when it comes to muscle growth?

Would you believe me?

Even better, what if I told you there is a way to guarantee you’ll increase your deep sleep every night?

Imagine the key to packing on big muscle...happens while you snooze.

Are you interested in that?

The truth is: Quality sleep increases your bodies ability to build muscle.

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is your best friend when it comes to muscle growth and recovery. Among other functions, our bodies need it to actually use the amino acids present in the protein we eat.

HGH floods our bloodstream when we sleep. So to ensure you get the most out of it, you need quantity and quality sleep.

The problem is… our culture has a poor relationship with sleep. Everybody likes to brag about how hard they work. We often pick on people when they say they’re ‘tired’ like it’s a sign of weakness.

People might tell you ‘I only sleep 4-6 hours a night’ like it’s a badge of honor. But it’s not, especially in the long-term.

A 2011 study on sleep deprivation showed those who sleep 5.5 hours per night had 60% less lean muscle mass at the end of the study, while those who slept 8.5 hours had 40% more muscle mass.

A 2008 study by Dr. Bret Jacobson showed a lack of sleep hinders energy levels and affects performance. It also makes us susceptible to mood swings. Mood swings have a direct impact on our desire and motivation, leaving us more likely to perform worse and even quit altogether.

It might seem difficult to always get optimal sleep.

Sometimes our kids keep us up. Or a neighbor's dog barks all night. Or we’re traveling and sleeping in an unfamiliar environment.

There are many variables that come into play.

But there is a way to ensure you get the most out of your sleep. Guaranteed or your money back.

The herb we have for quality sleep is called Ziziphus, and we’re sure you’ll be able to recharge your battery better with it.

This herb increases your REM cycles and puts you into stage 3 deep sleep.

There are four stages of sleep, and stage 3 deep sleep is where all the magic occurs.

In deep sleep, the body increases production and reduces the breakdown of proteins. Proteins are the building block of cell growth and help repair the damage such as stress.

Ziziphus can help you get more deep sleep through its high content of saponins. These saponins provide sedative effects.

This herb also promotes deep sleep by increasing the neurotransmitter GABA’s inhibitory action on the arousal system.

GABA is essential for sleep because it basically turns everything ‘off.’

Getting more deep sleep will make 7 hours of sleep feels like 9 hours.

Not only that but Ziziphus also…

Contains a high amount of anti-oxidants, making it ideal for ridding your body of free-radicals
Tastes great. You won’t have to choke this one down unlike some of the other herbs
Has a calming effect on the mind
Contains 115% of your daily Vitamin C value in one serving to help with skin and hair
Can provide relief from constipation
