			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 19px; font-weight: bold;">What and Who We Listen to Is <span style="color: #ff0000;">Very Important</span> Right Now.</span></p>
<p>Are You Choosing Resolution or Conflict? Continuity or Disruption? Lack or Abundance?</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 276px">
	<img title="Chocolate Cake" src="http://healthywealthyboomer.com/images/choccake.jpg" alt="" width="276" height="183" />
	<p class="wp-caption-text">YOUR CAKE</p>
</div>
<p>Why not have YOUR CAKE and eat it too?</p>
<p>Why not choose resolution, continuity AND abundance? This is where our true strength lies.</p>
<p>There is a very large effort focused on creating the belief that we must either choose<strong> this</strong> or <strong>that</strong>. If you are not with us you are against us. If you choose this, you can not also have that.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 200px">
	<img title="Stacks of $100 Bills" src="http://healthywealthyboomer.com/images/100s_200x200.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" />
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Your $100 Bills</p>
</div>
<p>And this effort has been in place for a long time.</p>
<p>The big issue with this idea is that it implies our authority comes from somewhere outside of ourselves and this is not true.</p>
<p>We are responsible for our own lives and our own choices. Nobody has the right to choose for us &#8211; <strong>ever</strong>. That&#8217;s what free will is about. Each of us has our own authority. We need to exercise it. We have gotten into the habit of looking outside for someone else&#8217;s approval:</p>
<ul>
<li>The government,</li>
<li>The medical community</li>
<li>The church</li>
<li>Our parents</li>
<li>The neighbors</li>
<li>Whomever or whatever&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p>It&#8217;s our call &#8211; not theirs.</p>
<p>Here are some <strong>NEW</strong> questions:</p>
<blockquote><p>WHY?<br />
Who came up with that absurdity?<br />
Why is it true?<br />
Why does it have to be <strong>this</strong> way <strong>or</strong> that?<br />
Why can&#8217;t we choose this <em><strong>AND</strong></em> that?</p></blockquote>
<p>Answer:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>We CAN. </strong>Somebody&#8217;s been conning us for a long time.</p>
<p>It is <strong>THE GREAT SCAM</strong> &#8211; the great scam for all seasons.</p></blockquote>
<p>Something dawned on me while watching a very poignant and powerful video this morning. The message was the same as the first time I had watched it &#8211; only this time <em><strong>I was different</strong></em>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Something within me said: &#8221;You need to communicate this message. This is <em><strong>the message</strong></em>.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Somehow, it was clear that <strong>there is no:</strong> &#8220;either/or&#8221;. Our choices are not absolutes and there is no rule in the universe that says if you choose this, you can not also choose that.</p>
<p>There is <strong>either&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>and</p>
<p>There is <strong>either/and</strong>.</p>
<p>You can choose this <strong>AND</strong> that <strong>AND</strong> that <strong>AND</strong> whatever else you want. And by choosing one, you do not eliminate the other choice. You can go back and choose it again later or add it &#8211; <strong>OR NOT</strong>. It&#8217;s up to you.</p>
<p><strong>Either/Or</strong> is a fallacy. It&#8217;s a control game. Somebody made it up. It is not TRUE. Quit buying into it. Throw that rule out and let it decompose in your compost pile. Delete it from your thinking and your vocabulary. It is not law and never was.</p>
<p>We have been told and trained to believe that <em><strong>we can not</strong></em> have our cake and eat it too. What kind of crazy thinking created that idea? Of course we want to eat the cake. Why have it otherwise? Cake is for eating not looking at.</p>
<p>There is a grand effort to teach us that when we do challenge what we are being told, we are behaving in a way that <em><strong>unacceptable for the greater good</strong></em>.</p>
<p>Whatever happened to listening to different opinions and choosing for ourselves?</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t always this way. Questioning authority and challenging the status quo through thoughtful discussion and logical argument have historically been respected qualities among our greatest thinkers.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Here is a quote from Albert Einstein that seems to fit:</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Great spirits have always experienced violent opposition by mediocre minds.&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Remember, you can always change your mind and we often do.</p>
<p>The big fallacy really is this. If you have abundance, someone else will have to have less.</p>
<p>WRONG ANSWER. There is abundance for everybody and anyone can choose it without penalizing anybody else.  Ignorance is not bliss and poverty is not a spiritual quality.</p>
<p>Abundance is. Wealth is a good thing. When we have more resources, we can help more people, our family and the community. We create more options for growth, expansion and improvement.</p>
<blockquote><p>Remember what Mae West said:</p>
<h2>“I&#8217;ve been rich and I&#8217;ve been poor. Believe me, rich is better.”</h2>
</blockquote>
<p>You can have your cake and eat it too. And you can try every flavor. Dig in.</p>
<p>Choose abundance. It is your right.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>I AM Michael Barrett, I AM a Core Health Facilitator and I Love Abundance.</strong></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h2>Imagine this: Seventy seven million baby boomers make a pact to take back their happy healthy image and birthright, and ALL become healthy and wealthy within the next year or two!</h2>
<p>Seriously, look at this now! Boomers are a gigantic brain trust of information, experience, and know how. They have been down &#8211; raised by &#8220;depression age&#8221; parents and grandparents. They have been up &#8211; lived through some of the very best of economic times, great freakin&#8217; rock music, comparative castles for homes, waged war on everything from terrorism to drugs to cancer, and are still better at most jobs than their children and grandchildren will ever be.</p>
<p>Boomers are world travelers, can do most anything you can come up with; they are gym rats, social media marketers, and can learn a language in 90 days.</p>
<p>Baby Boomers went back to school online and became honors students with Masters after age 50 or 60!  They have lost all their money once or twice and made it back on the next entrepreneurial venture or two without passing out in the sweat &#8211; even if they did lose a house or two in foreclosure. They are experts at picking themselves up, dusting themselves off and getting right back in the game.</p>
<p>Boomers have survived layoffs, divorce, child support, custody cases, 9/11, and a few lyin&#8217;-cheatin&#8217; presidents, and they&#8217;re not dead yet! They changed jobs like sweaty gym shorts, made it through the dot.com boom and bust while changing hats as frequently as needed. Boomers have tried every religion on the planet from Tibet to Rome to Utah. They are as self- developed and natural health-ed as anyone will ever be. They have been medicated and meditated.</p>
<h2><strong>Baby  Boomers &#8211; WE &#8211; survived it all. What else is there?  Really? </strong></h2>
<p>What if:</p>
<blockquote><p>Boomers decided to act on all that knowledge and stop buying into  the massive programming about prescriptions, high blood pressure, weight loss programs, motorized scooters, guilt about the end of the world, and spending the grand kids inheritance!</p></blockquote>
<p>What if they said</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;NO MORE!&#8221; to terrorists, politically correct speech, being robbed by drug using grandchildren, illegal aliens, and handing out money they busted their asses to make, and bailouts paid for with our tax dollars? What if they quit banks and bought gold?</p></blockquote>
<p>What if they said &#8220;N-O!&#8221; to the media mind set about the boomer health image promoted and paid for by the drug companies and instead decided to prove them all wrong? What if: Boomers decided to walk every day, eat whatever makes them feel REALLY good, work as long as they want to, and said &#8220;to hell with social security just give me back everything I invested!&#8221;</p>
<h2>It can be done, you know! It can. We can.</h2>
<h2>There is a SEVENTY SEVEN MILLION strong mindset that says we can do anything we put our minds to if we want to.  Who wants to join me? I am game if you are!</h2>
<p><strong><br />
Start here: Do what you can do. Make your list and check it twice. </strong></p>
<blockquote><p>1. New mental image.<br />
2. Walk daily morning.<br />
3. Filtered water every hour.<br />
4. No more red meat.<br />
5. Lots of fresh veggies and fruits.<br />
6. Daily protein powder drinks.<br />
7. Daily gym-you got to move to improve.Do something to first strengthen your upper body-arms-back. Start light then build.<br />
8.Meditate daily. Just clear your head of all the chatter for 15 minutes so you can tell when its actually you thinking and not another instant replay.<br />
9. Acknowledge God&#8217;s life in you many times daily. Feel &#8220;the Light that never fails&#8221; no matter what name you call that Light.<br />
10. Be gratitude-filled daily.<br />
11. Reduce medications gradually as you feel better.<br />
12. Stop making excuses.<br />
13. Stop thinking  of yourself as an old fart.<br />
14. Stop acting like an old fart.<br />
15. Go on vacation as often as you can.<br />
16. Discover IntraMax liquid vitamins by Dr.Drucker. (the best I ever found!)<br />
17.Start treating yourself like today is the first day of your future.<br />
18.Fall in love with first with yourself and then with your spouse again.<br />
19.Walk daily evenings after dinner. (beach, park, school)<br />
20. Hang around younger people and raise your energetic vibration to match theirs.<br />
21.Be positive.Think positive. Act positive. Speak positive.<br />
22. Focus only on what you can do. Forget what you cannot do. You&#8217;ll get there or you won&#8217;t.<br />
23. Buy a mini trampoline and use it. (they come with handrails if needed).<br />
24. Learn to increase your oxygen via all the above methods.<br />
25. Mean it!<br />
26. If you live near the ocean go sit in the water as often as you can. Take your chair and get 20 minutes of sun too.<br />
27. Get 20 minutes of sun daily anyway. (you need the vitamin D)<br />
29. Write about your life and find the passion, the experience, the purpose. If you don&#8217;t want to write, record it.<br />
30.Make an endless list of all the things you still want to do and start doing them.<br />
31. Do something you have always wanted to do and do NOT be afraid and if you are, feel the fear and do it anyway!<br />
32. Get your teeth fixed, have your eyes done, whatever; just do something that makes you feel good that maybe no one else thinks you should &#8220;waste your money (their inheritance) on!&#8221;<br />
33. Buy that boat, collectible car, beach house or whatever it is you used to promise yourself you&#8217;d have one day and celebrate your new beginning!</p>
<p>34. Garden. Sing. Dance. Ride a bike.</p>
<p>35. Find a Core Health Workshop and get your &#8220;will to live&#8221; back up to 100% asap.</p>
<p>36.Find a Heart Forgiveness Workshop and forgive yourself then everybody else -  from your heart not your head. Take back your life!</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Most Important-Find a friend and support each other.</strong></p>
<p>Start a Meetup group and make your lists. Make a plan and see it through. Live like each day has meaning the way one does when one is looking toward the FUTURE not at the PAST. Face forward and walk toward the sun!</p>
<p>See you in a year! Good Luck and <strong><em>Have Fun!</em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>You know I just Googled &#8220;Boomer Health&#8221; and I was appalled at the titles of two of the top four pages:</p>
<p><strong>Here are the search results:</strong></p>
<ol><small></p>
<li><span style="color: #ff0000;"><small>Boomers Biggest Health Mistakes</small></span></li>
<li><small>12 Risks of Aging that Boomers Can Avoid</small></li>
<li><span style="color: #000000;"><small>Boomer Health</small></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #ff0000;"><small>Boomer Health Care Dilemma</small></span></li>
</ol>
<p>There is so much emphasis on illness, failure, pain, mistakes, risk and dilemmas. What disturbs me is that there is not more emphasis on successes, good choices, being pain free, creating unlimited energy and feeling great.</p>
<p>We have a tendency as a culture to get sucked into this focus &#8211; about all the bad things that are happening and coming our way &#8211; that we had better get prepared for. The media loves it. </p>
<blockquote><p><strong>The reality is that the Boomers Biggest Health Mistake Is Listening to and Buying into an illness mindset</strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p>How about these titles for the top ten Boomer Health results as an alternative:</p>
<ol>
<li>Three Things Boomers Can Do Today to Start Feeling Better Tomorrow</li>
<li>The Joy of Getting Older</li>
<li>Life Gets Better at 40</li>
<li>Choose Your Ideal Weight</li>
<li>Create the Baby Boomer Lifestyle of Your Dreams</li>
<li>67 Things You Can Do to Improve Your Life that Don&#8217;t Cost a Thing</li>
<li>Feel Better and Look Better in 60 Days</li>
<li>Why Baby Boomers Make Better Lovers</li>
<li>How To Have more Energy</li>
<li>Baby Boomer Health Success Stories</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>People accept failure and pain and illness as the default of getting older.</strong></p>
<p>Pardon the expression &#8211; but simply stated &#8211; that is a load of crap. The natural default is absolute and abundant health and prosperity. That&#8217;s how the universe was created. </p>
<p>As Baby Boomers, we can begin to change our lives today and within a few years can have abundant health and a joy in our physical awareness and experience every day.</p>
<p>There are no limits to your capability and you do not have to accept the media mantra as your default or paradigm.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t.</p>
<p>Here is a video that addresses what I am talking about from a doctor&#8217;s perspective. Listen to Dr Cass as she speaks intelligently about baby boomer health.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s so simple and so true.</p>
<p><strong>Baby Boomers Revolutionizing Health</strong>&#8230;</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Lvr_Q-O3YK8&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Lvr_Q-O3YK8&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>You can start changing your life today and get real results faster than you realize. It starts with a choice. </p>
<p>This is the theme of my book <strong><small>(Healthy Wealthy Boomer: The Plan to Make the 2nd Fifty Years Better Than the 1st)</small></strong> and my passion in life. I really want to help anyone who wants to improve their life and is willing to work at it &#8211; to do so.</p>
<p>Let me know what you want help with and join the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/Healthy-Wealthy-Boomer-Group" target="_blank">HWB Facebook group</a>. </p>
<p>I sincerely care about my generation and want to make a real difference.</p>
<p>Wake up Baby Boomers, get involved and shut off the negative media.</p>
<p>Life is fabulous and you are unlimited.</p>
<p>Start making choices that reflect this.</p>
<p>You are all deeply appreciated and loved.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>First off, I work at it. </strong></p>
<p>I am a baby boomer. I care about people in my age group who are starting to show the signs of wear and tear and who aren&#8217;t doing anything about it. I want to help Boomers change this in a big way and I know how.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re wealthy and sick, are you really wealthy? If you had a terminal disease, what would you pay to get your health back? The fact is that millions of Boomers are headed there right now unless they start doing something about it.</p>
<p>For the greater part of my adult life, I have been very consistent about taking care of myself. I love to feel good and I have lots of energy. Ask people that know me well and they will verify my vast reserves of energy and untiring ability to keep going after most people burn out.</p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;m not a superstar, just a guy who has a system that works well for me.</strong></p>
<p>I am not a tri-athlete, a marathon runner or a weight lifter. But I have amazing endurance, useable strength and overall excellent physical tone. I can&#8217;t run 26 miles but I bet I could walk 100. I can&#8217;t lift 400 pounds, but I have a healthy back and that&#8217;s what hydraulics are for &#8211; not the human body. I&#8217;m almost 56 (and that picture was taken less than two weeks ago), but most people think I&#8217;m in my 40&#8242;s and that&#8217;s not just from the way I look, it&#8217;s also how I use my body. It&#8217;s physical expression as well as surface appearance.</p>
<p>In my book, Healthy Wealthy Boomer: The Plan to Make the 2nd Fifty Years Better Than the 1st, I go into detail. I also wrote a companion course to implement the plan and get it working in 60 days, called &#8220;How To Look Better and Feel Better in 60 days.&#8221;</p>
<p>I created checklists and instructions that I keep in a binder and check off the list as I follow the program everyday. I have found this to be effective for me because it creates a visual map of my consistency, diligence and where I need to improve my efforts. At a single glance, on one sheet I can see everything I have done (or not done) for 10 days.</p>
<p>Over the course of the last 35 years, I have read and studied all kind of programs and been a diligent student of natural health and how to create a healthy lifestyle with the objective of a primary goal:<br />
<strong>LONGEVITY</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Here &#8216;s a quick summary of what I do all the time.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>I walk.</li>
<li>I drink lots of water.</li>
<li>I eat really healthy food and know a lot about what fuel works best for my body.</li>
<li>I practice <strong>qigong</strong> regularly.</li>
<li>I do Tibetan rejuvenation exercises.</li>
<li>I do a 6-7 minute set on the Total Gym (although right now it is in storage in another state after a recent move and I have not retrieved it yet)</li>
<li>I stretch.</li>
<li>I love my body and let him know often how much I appreciate everything he does for me.</li>
<li>I love myself.</li>
<li>I focus on positive thoughts and language.</li>
<li>I think healthy thoughts.</li>
<li>I work at balancing my emotions and being present.</li>
<li>I <strong>MEDITATE </strong>everyday.</li>
<li>I recognize <strong>SOURCE ENERGY</strong> as the root of my strength and the source of my health and I express my gratitude every day</li>
</ul>
<p>I do lots of other things regularly &#8211; but not every day. I choose health and always take responsibility for three things:</p>
<ul>
<li>What I put in my mouth everyday</li>
<li>What I think about and the words I use</li>
<li>How I use my time</li>
</ul>
<p>I have developed a system that really gets long range results. It is designed to work for anybody &#8211; just regular people who want to improve themselves. You simply start wherever you are and get started doing whatever you can handle to begin with. You add more to the regimen as you develop skills, expertise and the ability to handle more.</p>
<p>Nothing extravagant, exotic or difficult to learn.</p>
<p>The key is to get started and keep doing what you can everyday. I can show you how.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m no super star professional athlete, just a guy who has figured out how to keep thinking right and really loves to feel good. Most of it is common sense, but it helps to have a coach to bring out the best and learn how to improve &#8211; at least until you have the system down yourself.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to start introducing live workshops, online training and various programs in the near future. I am also now focused on <strong>publishing my book</strong> with three more coming after that.</p>
<p><strong>For now, if you&#8217;re feeling lousy. Do something about it.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Start walking everyday and increase the distance as your legs get stronger and your breathing improves.</li>
<li>Drink a gallon of water a day forever. Start with a few glasses of water and work up. I fill a half gallon container up 2 times a day and drink it all day long. You can drink a glass every hour. Whatever works for you. Just do it. Hydration is so important.</li>
<li>Start eating smaller portions of the food you are eating right now. And eat more frequently. Cut way back on fried foods &#8211; period. Eat more raw food and organic is way better.</li>
<li>Elminate toxic thinking and emotions.</li>
</ul>
<p>None of that costs anything or is a big transition. Anybody can do what I just wrote.</p>
<ul>
<li>Choose to start loving yourself.</li>
<li>Decide.</li>
<li>Take responsibility.</li>
<li>Do it.</li>
</ul>
<p>You are perfect, whole and complete and you are loved Divinely just the way you are. There is nothing you need to change or be, just to to remember that you are perfect and really believe it.</p>
<p>With some practice on your part, the rest will take care of itself. Before you know it, you&#8217;ll be a healthy wealthy boomer too.</p>

<p>Bill Bartmann is a good man&#8230;</p>
<p>If there were ever a &#8220;Healthy Wealthy Boomer&#8221; role model, this is the guy. As Baby Boomers, he&#8217;s the guy we should listen to and emulate.</p>
<p>I first heard him speak in Orlando at a 2006 Peak Potentials event called Guerilla Business School &#8211; where I was an attendee. Then a week later I met him in LA at GBS (where this picture was taken) &#8211; only this time I was on staff.</p>
<p>Face to face, I was impressed by his:</p>
<ul>
<li>genuine humility</li>
<li>consideration for other people</li>
<li>grace</li>
<li>mental acuity and wit</li>
</ul>
<p>A majority of the &#8220;big guns&#8221; in the seminar circuit have huge egos. Bill Bartmann doesn&#8217;t &#8211; at least that&#8217;s my impression on a personal level and I say this from experience &#8211; not just conjecture. From June 2005 through September 2006, I was on Core Team (staff) for Peak Potentials for 26 events across north America.</p>
<p>In that capacity, there were many occasions to interface with speakers; often to observe them behind the scenes; how they handle themselves; how they treat staff; how prepared they were and generally what kind of people they were &#8216;behind the cameras&#8217;.</p>
<p>Bartmann is a tuned-in guy; fully conscious and present &#8211; both through astute observation as well as an active interface. He lives life fully and pays attention.</p>
<p>I liked him the moment I heard him say (paraphrased):</p>
<blockquote><p>The difference between highly successful people and those who are not boils down to two words: <strong>Self esteem</strong>. I don&#8217;t consider myself to be an expert about too many things &#8211; but on this topic, I consider myself an expert.</p>
<p>And then he told us why&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>Aside from the fact that he is a martial arts practitioner, rides Harleys, went from being a human teenage &#8216;gutter rat&#8217; to becoming the 25th wealthiest man in America, he&#8217;s just the kind of guy you would want watching your back in a tough situation.</p>
<p>You get a sense when you meet him that you can trust his judgment and that he&#8217;s not &#8216;running a game&#8217;, he&#8217;s the real deal. He&#8217;s a man&#8217;s man with principles and integrity and plenty of battle scars from the street. You can tell he&#8217;s conquered his demons and come to peace with who he is. He&#8217;s not a tall man, but he is a very &#8220;large man&#8221; with an obvious command of his personal power who easily fills a large space when he enters a room.</p>
<p>I trusted him immediately.</p>
<p>When he talks about his family, he makes it clear that his family is the most important thing in his life. The rest &#8211; the money, the action, success &#8211; is all secondary to family.</p>
<p>He also seems to be the epitome of innovative thinking and curiosity.</p>
<p>Boomers, listen to this man. He knows what he is talking about.</p>
