Find Life Coach | Meet Brendan Cusick: How to Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life?

Brendan Cusick is one of the coaches we found and we did a little interview with him. He impressed us with his courage and life experience. Here is what he said.

Meet Life Coach Brendan Cusick:

find-life-coach-brendan-cusick

Name: Brendan Cusick
Pillar: The Mind
Who is this coach for: For anyone who wants to free themselves from their thinking mind and reach their goals in life.
How they can help: By being present and empathetic, helping you be less afraid and more honest. By discussing what you really want out of life and making a plan how to get there.

First of all, how are you and your family doing in these Pandemic times?

My family is doing quite well during this time. I have personally taken advantage of the opportunity to reflect on what is most important for me and my family.

This has included some transformative shifts in my personal life that I am enjoying.

My children did have a hard time adjusting to the social aspects of missing their friends and remote schooling, it appears we are slowly exiting the tunnel of this experience and everyone can bring forward what I hope they have learned.

How does the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?

I have really noted an increase in anxiety and the unstable fear of the unknown.

Humans try to control and predict out so much that it can be self deprecating to being with what is in your control which is this moment.

The pandemic has nearly forced people to look at what is and what is not controllable.

The pandemic has brought forth a lot of clarity for me and it has illustrated all of the unfortunate misinformation and distrust that exists in our society today, that I hope can be mended.

One conversation at a time.

What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?

Humans are more apt to protect themselves than to protect their community.

The Origin:

Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?

I have an interesting history.

I spent much of my childhood living and traveling in Europe and grew up in a small town in Northern California. I embarked on a life of climbing high mountains and guiding them, this eased to an end after some near misses in the Himalaya and sadly having to say good bye to friends.

I entered the world of consulting yet despite the conversational interactions with people, I missed seeing the fulfillment that came with the enriched experience of a client summitting a mountain or climbing a hard rock route.

So I discovered and have embarked on coaching, to once again provide a space in support of people realizing their dreams, goals or ambitions and I can walk along as a guide.

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

I would say it was fear.

I always had a fear of death, speaking my mind, being truthful to myself and asking permission on any little thing.

I no longer live with much fear. I do see it, embrace it and agree to work with it in support of being a better person.

I was once asked what the hardest thing I have ever done is and my response is that I don’t know as I have not done it yet.

I have encountered a lot of obstacles including witness to death, nearly dying, sobriety, being hurt and hurting others. I have also pushed my body to the limit of that moment.

The obstacles are my lessons to my why, I hope to see them everyday and be enriched by them.

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

Coaching is always dynamic and ever changing based on the topic and present space that is occurring for the topic at hand.

I encourage my clients to look within and to explore ways of knowing that by building deeper awareness within themselves that the possibilities of even the most auspicious barrier become possible.

I try to be innovative within each session to explore and support all while allowing the client to find their own path, I may just have to clear a few branches out of the way to improve the view at times.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

My empathetic nature and stillness that allows people to be authentic and unafraid of honesty in my presence.

People seem comfortable and uninhibited in my presence, I recognize the value this brings to the first or fifth session.. power of presence and truly caring means everything.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

A stronger growth mindset supported by an improved inner awareness.

Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?

Check out summitnrg.com.

The Impact:

If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?

Be with your thoughts, don’t be your thoughts for they are not you.

Everyone should live to their own inherit values and support humanity to do the same, while blessing each other for being themselves.

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?

There is no limit to each human’s potential, it is only our own perception and personal blocks that prohibit growth.

Also that it is important to listen, be honest, confident and passionate every day.

Your final thoughts?

Nothing to add.

The 5 Ingredients You Need to Build Your Leadership Skills (Part 5)

The 5 Ingredients You Need to Build Your Leadership Skills (Part 5)

If you’ve been with us so far on our Leadership Ingredients journey, you need to know this: I’ve kept the best for last!

[If you haven’t read about them go and get up to date with this one: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.]

The ingredient we are talking about today is the one that makes all successful leadership journeys happen: emotional intelligence.

Here’s why I’m saying this…

“Emotional intelligence is the difference that makes the difference. A lack of emotional intelligence is what limits some people in their ability to manage themselves, manage others, or manage situations.”

— J.D. Meier, Director of Innovation at Microsoft

The 5 Ingredients for Leadership:
Ingredient 5 – Emotional Intelligence!

ingredients-to-build-your-leadership-skills-part-5

A recent study of the Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development in the UK (CIPD) says that:

‘Nearly as much as 80% of the reasons why careers are derailed can be traced to weaknesses in Emotional Intelligence.’

The good news? Emotional Intelligence is a skill we can all work on and improve.

So, how do we do that?

First things first: let’s define emotional intelligence (more than 15 years of working with lawyers taught me we need to define things before we start to talk about them!).

What is emotional intelligence?

In a nutshell, it’s about how you feel, how others around you feel.

Knowledge of Emotional Intelligence helps you identify what feels good and bad and how to change.

It’s all about maintaining an emotional awareness and sensitivity, and developing the skills that will help you to stay positive.

It is all a dynamic process of learning skills to understand yourself and others!

The original theory of Emotional Intelligence was first identified and developed by two American Psychologists, Peter Salovey and John Mayer, who, in 1990, defined this as a learned ability to perceive, understand and express our feelings accurately and to control our emotions so that they work for us, not against us.

The term Emotional Intelligence was made popular by psychologist Daniel Goleman who defines it as the ability to:

1. Recognize, understand and manage our own emotions and,

2. Recognize, understand and influence the emotions of others.

“In practical terms, this means being aware that emotions can drive our behavior and impact people (positively and negatively), and learning how to manage those emotions – both our own and others.“

— Daniel Goleman

So, what do we need to look at to develop our emotional intelligence?

Here are the 4 dimensions you need to be aware of and practice to keep building that muscle:

Remember, our skills are just like muscles: they need to be trained regularly so that they grow and stay in shape.

It’s just like going to the gym: we can’t expect we go to the gym once a year and be fit! We go and do our exercises regularly.

The same applies to our skills, they need practice to develop, grow and stay in shape.

1. Self Awareness:

Emotional Self Awareness.

Accurate Self Assessment.

Self Confidence.

2. Self Management:

Emotional Self Control.

Transparency.

Adaptability.

Initiative.

Optimism.

3. Social Awareness:

Empathy.

Organisational Awareness.

Service Orientation.

4. Relationship Management:

Developing Others.

Inspirational Leadership.

Influence.

Change Catalyst.

Conflict Management.

Teamwork and Collaboration.

You will have noticed one thing: it all starts within. It starts with Self-awareness.

The mistake I see people especially at the beginning of their leadership journey making is this: they focus on building successful relationships. And they struggle.

They get frustrated when this doesn’t work the way they thought it would. Then they give up and simply change the place where they operate, they are changing jobs because of that is something I’ve often seen happening, only to bump into the same issue later on.

Because they started in the wrong place.

Start with yourself.

The minute I am aware of how I react, which behaviors I want to keep and which ones I need to change, that’s when real change can happen.

Self awareness is what helps us all realize what our strengths are and what our weaknesses are that cause us problems. And then we can start fixing them.

Then we can self manage. Then we can CHOOSE to change one behavior with another one that’s more helpful for us and the others around us.

Then, and only then, can we expect to genuinely build on empathy and create healthy and sustainable relationships with others.

Doesn’t it all make more sense now, when we say that success comes from within?

That said, pick and choose the ingredients that help you build your own successful leadership path.

And, whatever ingredients you choose, in whichever quantities, remember to always add the essence first: yourself.

Lead different!

The 3 Base Principles on Furniture Arrangement According to Feng Shui

The 3 Base Principles on Furniture Arrangement According to Feng Shui

Whether you are 25 or 45 years old, if you have seen 80s movies you have likely heard at least the mention of Feng Shui.

It might be mentioned as a way of life, a part of Taoism, or even as an interior design style and furniture layout. But what is Feng Shui?

Feng Shui is the practice of creating balance and harmony with the natural world and harnessing the related energy sources.

This philosophy falls right in line with Taoism, an Asian practice of beliefs, based on being in balance with nature and natural forces, like the elements.

Although the first evidence of Feng Shui in Asia is from the 9th century BC, the concept did not make it to the western world until the New Age craze in the 80s.

Spirituality, Wicca, and other pagan belief systems have only continued to grow in popularity, and the recent boom in interest has brought Feng Shui back to the forefront.

The Feng Shui interior design style follows 3 primary concepts: The Commanding Position, the Taoist Bagua map, and the 5 elements.

3 Base Principles of Feng Shui:

base-principles-on-furniture-arrangement-feng-shui

The Commanding position.

The location of primary seating, whether it is your throne, accent chair, recliner or a sofa, should be placed diagonally from the door.

The first time you sit in this position in your living room you will completely understand why this is called the commanding position.

From that viewpoint, it is easy to feel like a king on his throne or the captain of a starship.

Using the Bagua map in interior design.

The Bagua is an extremely important part of Taoism, and by default Feng Shui interior design as well.

It is based on 8 inter related concepts of reality.

The belief is that by applying the colors, natural materials, etc. to balance yourself within nature you can improve certain areas of your life.

In interior design, a map of these 8 principles of reality is used to find 1 to 3 related areas of your life to find the colors and designs that help you manifest that intent.

The map lays out the 8 principles, with yourself in the center.

The 8 areas of the Bagua map, by row, are:

Row 1: wealth, fame, partnership.

Row 2: family, Tai Chi or yourself, children.

Row 3: knowledge, career, helpful people.

The most common mistake that people make when implementing any new self improvement plan is to try to take on too much at once.

You should only choose a maximum of three areas of reality on which to focus your intentions.

Taking on too much typically leads to failure.

You can choose any 3 areas on the map, but you may have the best results choosing areas that are directly connected.

The 5 Elements.

The primary concept of Feng Shui is to be in tune with your natural environment, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that elements are involved.

Using the materials and colors of nature brings balance to your living spaces.

Just as with the Bagua map, you don’t want to try to incorporate all 5 elements into one space.

However, you have a ton of options with just one or two elements, and they are very easy to incorporate into your design.

The 5 elements of Feng Shui are:

Wood

Fire

Earth

Water

Metal

Incorporating wood or metal in the frames of your furniture is easy, just check for natural materials and other couches.

And any other elements you wish to represent can be added in colorful elements and patterns for the furniture, floor coverings, and décor. Go decorate.

Get Out of Debt with These 4 Easy Side Hustles

When we think about having debt, we typically think of a monetary value that is holding us back from achieving what we want in life.

According to Debt.org, the average adult in the United States has accumulated around $90,460 in debt. It’s no wonder why someone would feel hopeless in this situation.

Thankfully, there are dozens of ways to get yourself out.

One of the biggest ways people are getting themselves out of debt is by getting a side hustle.

These are ways in which you are able to continue working your full time job but can earn more money on the side.

You might be thinking that with these extra jobs, you won’t have time to live a full life.

However, many of these side hustles allow you to work on your schedule.

It’s all about how much time you are wanting and willing to put into it.

If you are trying to get out of debt and are looking for a second job, here are four side hustles to consider.

4 Easy Side Hustles to Get Out of Debt:

easy-side-hustles-get-out-of-debt

1. Start With Rideshare.

Becoming a driver for a rideshare app such as Uber or Lyft is a great way to earn extra income, especially if you have a vehicle at your disposal.

The only requirement is that you have a mobile device, a car, and won’t drive more than twelve hours in a twenty four hour period.

Some of the apps provide rental cars if you don’t own a vehicle.

You can also drive with ease knowing that you are covered by their provided insurance policies.

However, accidents do happen.

Make sure to be in touch with your local Uber or Lyft accident attorney for the off chance you do find yourself in an accident.

2. Delivery Apps.

If you aren’t big on driving others around, you can still utilize your vehicle for other types of side hustle apps.

Companies like DoorDash and Postmates are delivery applications you can download right to your phone.

All you have to do is pick up the customer’s item at one location and drop it off at the next.

3. Leverage Your Skills.

We all are gifted with certain abilities or have worked diligently throughout our lives to develop unique skills that others are looking for.

Maybe it’s time to start leveraging them to start making extra cash.

Say, for instance, you are a graphic designer who works for a digital marketing agency.

You may be able to utilize those skills and offer them to small businesses and individuals on the side.

If you aren’t big into selling yourself, there are several types of third party platforms that make the process even easier.

Websites like Fiverr or Upwork are platforms where people connect to provide and purchase services such as graphic design work, content writing, virtual assistants, or even voice over work.

Digging into these types of side hustles can make you a substantial amount of secondary income and help you get out of debt faster.

4. Make Your Hobbies Work For You.

Everyone has hobbies, so why not consider having your hobbies do the work for you?

During the global pandemic, we all had significantly more time at home.

Many people started diving headfirst into their hobbies such as woodworking or making homemade soaps.

You may be surprised to hear that during 2020, 4.4 million new businesses were started in the United States.

This is because people were looking for new ways to make money and start the business they had always wanted.

Whether you are looking to sell your beautifully crafted quilts or want to finally bring the art of macramé onto your website for people to buy, you can certainly start having your hobbies make you money.

What You Should Remember?

There are many ways you can get out of debt.

The first step is to put yourself in the mindset that it is possible to get out.

The second step is to find the best skills you can use to earn.

When you find them, then invest time and energy to learn them.

And, finally, use those skills to build a side hustle. Or, you can use the easy ideas that we shared in this article.

The 4 Potential Dangers Remote Workers Have to Consider When Working from Home

The 4 Potential Dangers Remote Workers Have to Consider When Working from Home

Working from home has many perks, but there are also risks.

You might not think sitting at home, typing all day, and attending Zoom meetings could be dangerous.

What could possibly go wrong?

It’s not like remote workers are standing on 200 foot high scaffolding or working with large table saws.

The truth is that remote work isn’t exactly dangerous, but workers face a variety of risks that don’t disappear just because they’re sitting at the computer.

For example, anytime someone drives a car, there’s a possibility they could get into an accident. Even when remote workers take a break for lunch or dash out to a medical appointment, they take a risk.

There are certain risks in life that are given and we have to play with those.

Remote workers employed in a driver position are at greater risk of getting into a car accident than those who work behind a computer all day.

When an employee drives for work, they’re on the road more often and for longer periods of time.

But even though we cannot escape all risks in life, there are ways to avoid them or better prepare.

Knowing who to call after a car accident is crucial for remote workers employed in a driver position. Regardless of what your employer says, you need to contact a car accident lawyer immediately.

Employees who drive company vehicles should be covered by their employer. However, sometimes employers skip insurance requirements and employees don’t know they aren’t covered until they get into an accident.

If you drive your own vehicle for work and your car insurance policy won’t cover all of your medical bills, you’ll need a lawyer. Skipping a lawyer and agreeing to an under the table deal with your employer won’t turn out in your favor.

Check with your insurance company to make sure you have the right coverage. If you’re driving for work, you may want to increase your liability and medical coverage just in case.

The purpose of this article is not just to show you the risks, but how to be better prepared. Here’s a list of the top 4 dangers remote workers face throughout the workday.

The 4 Dangers Remote Workers Need to Consider:

potential-dangers-remote-workers-have-to-consider

1. Hard to fall asleep.

Being all day indoors and watching a screen can seriously mess up your sleeping schedule.

We, as humans, were made to be active. We were made to walk, get fresh air, sunshine and socialize.

But when you work remotely from your home you can deprive yourself from all those things without realizing.

This can result in bad sleeping schedule. You can have hard time falling asleep, you might be feeling really lonely, even depressed.

Make sure to schedule a time for a walk in your day. It can be before work or after work. This will help you maintain a better rhythm.

2. A messy house.

With remote work, any accident or injury that can occur in your home during non working hours can occur during working hours, too.

For example, you can trip over cords, catch your big toe on an area rug and fall, you can slip on a piece of paper left in your garage, and you can develop cumulative injuries like carpal tunnel or tendonitis.

As a remote worker, a messy house is your enemy. Not only will big messes distract you from working and keep your brain in chaos, but you could seriously hurt yourself if you trip over something.

For example, if you walk around your house with your laptop in one hand, and you catch your toe on a messy cord, you could fall and hurt yourself and break your laptop.

Is your house a mess? Take a weekend to clean up and organize. You’ll have an easier time focusing and you won’t need to worry about tripping and falling.

3. Bad habits.

Bad habits are always going to undermine your efforts. When you’re trying to get your work done, bad habits can cause you to procrastinate, make mistakes, or give up.

Do you have any bad habits that get in the way of your work?

Maybe you wait until the end of the week to do your dishes and you have to cut your work time short on Friday to wash dishes. Or, perhaps you work in your pajamas and you’ve gotten too comfortable working on the couch with bad posture.

Whatever bad habits are affecting your ability to get your work done, try to break those habits. Find a new strategy or system and stick with that.

4. A poor desk setup.

Having a non ergonomic desk setup is the biggest threat to your physical well being. Examine your setup to see if you can change something and make it better.

For example, is your desk too low or too high? Get a pneumatic adjustable desk.

Is your chair uncomfortable? Go to an office store and sit in every chair available to find one with support.

When your desk setup is ergonomic, you’ll maintain good posture throughout the day.

Good posture will help prevent common musculoskeletal injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome and back pain.

What You Should Remember?

Generally speaking, remote work is relatively safe.

It might be safer than the traditional way of doing work by commuting and being among people.

However, there are still risks and dangers to consider.

While the risks are mainly psychological distractions and musculoskeletal injuries, it’s worth taking precautions.

Even seemingly minor injuries can require surgery and a long road to recovery.

Mostly known as the mountain state, from West Virginia’s historical Harpers Ferry to rough Appalachian mountain trails, West Virginia is a thrilling place to live, and also work as a life coach.

With industries like automotive, aerospace, energy, serving as main economic drivers in the state, there’s a good market for life coaching. Life coaching methods transform the way those industries operate to increase productivity and nurture a creative work culture.

West Virginia is home to over 40 higher academic institutions and therefore has a market for Academic Coaches. If you are passionate about helping people meet their individual goals, then life coaching can be the ideal career for you.

Regardless of the level of your current life coaching journey, West Virginia offers so many opportunities for getting started.

4 Steps How to Become a Certified Life Coach:

steps-how-to-become-a-certified-life-coach

To become a life coach, you must initially graduate from high school or acquire your GED. Afterward, to learn life coaching skills, you need to enroll in a program specializing in the field.

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) has accredited schools across West Virginia which offer life coaching training programs. Once you’ve completed your training, you must pursue certification from an authority like ICF.

Ultimately, you’ll have to set up a business classification. That procedure differs by state. It usually includes things like filing articles of organization, getting a business license, and paying applicable fees.

Furthermore, it includes getting coverage for your business which is something that is required by law in West Virginia (especially workers comp and commercial auto insurance), registering your business name, opening financial accounts, and so on.

1. Choose Your Niche.

Coaching is a broad field, so life coaching professionals have plenty of niches to choose from. That will help you market your services to a certain type of clientele. Plus, it provides your clients confidence that you have expertise in helping individuals with their unique challenges.

Some of the areas you can specialize in include: Career transition and job search, Business, Academic issues, Romantic relationships, Spirituality, Work and life balance or General wellness.

2. Complete a Training Program.

There are many schools offering life coaching programs in West Virginia, so how do you know which one to choose? The best rule of thumb is to pick a school that is accredited by the ICF.

By doing so, you’ll know you’ll be learning all that it takes to obtain certification from the ICF. Nowadays, plenty of schools that provide life coach programs are available online as well.

3. Get Your Credential.

When you complete your training program, you can apply for certification. Credentials provided by associations like the ICF require skills and proof of high work standards. ICF offers several levels of certification:

1. Beginners are able to earn their Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential with completion of 60 hours of learning and 100 hours of life coaching experience.

2. Professional Certified Coaches (PCC) have to show at least 125 hours of learning and 500 hours of experience.

3. More advanced life coaches are able to choose to become Master Certified Coaches (MCCs). That credential requires 200 hours of studying and at least 2500 hours of coaching experience.

4. Get to Work.

Spreading the word out is crucial for every business, especially in its initial stages. Placing advertisements in targeted publications will help you gain the exposure you need to boost your business.

You must also attend networking events adapted to your niche. That will allow you to meet the types of audience you want to work with.

Sharing positive feedback from clientele will also help you gain the trust of potential customers.

Therefore, always ask your regular customers to write their testimonials on your website or other advertising materials.

If you are a beginner life coach and would like some recognition make sure to contact us at [email protected] with the message “Beginner Coach Boost”.

We offer various opportunities for beginner coaches. You can find all of the coaches that we interviewed and added in our database at Find Life Coach.

Life Coaching Figures in West Virginia:

It’s challenging to get clear employment statistics and life coach salaries by city in West Virginia because the Bureau of Labor Statistics doesn’t collect accurate data for this profession.

However, according to Ziprecruiter.com, as of Oct 25, 2021, the average annual pay for a Life Coach in West Virginia is $51,708 a year.

In addition, Ziprecruiter.com says that the life coach workforce in the state is very active with Parkersburg as the top highest city for life coaching.

What You Should Remember?

Usually, life coaches are self employed.

But, some also work for large corporations like residential communities which offer wellness services to clients or their employees.

However, in West Virginia where the life coaching business is fruitful, you should consider starting your own business as a life coach.

So if you are a beginner life coach follow the 4 steps in this article and you will be on the right path of your coaching journey.

The 7 Best Ways to Stay Active and Fit in Your Everyday Life

Most Americans spend most of their time sitting, in the car, at their desk, or on the couch.

Studies show that excessive sitting can increase the risk of colon and breast cancer. Another recent study discovered that spending too much time in front of the television may shorten your life.

Physically active adults have a 35% lower risk of colon cancer and a 25% lower risk of breast cancer, and it’s never too late to change your lifestyle.

Therefore, in this article, we’ll look at some of the best ways to keep yourself fit and active so that you can enjoy a healthier life.

Top 7 Effective Ways to Keep Yourself Active:

best-ways-to-stay-active-and-fit-in-your-everyday-life

You must have read so many ways to keep yourself fit and active, but if you are searching for the most effective and perfectly researched methods, then this section is a must read for you.

Below are the top 7 most effective ways to keep yourself active and fit.

1. Walking can Make a Huge Difference.

Walking is one of the easiest and most convenient ways to stay active outside of the gym.

To burn calories, walk faster and spend more time on each walk. Use a fitness tracker to track your walking and gradually go up to 10,000 steps per day to gain maximum benefits.

If you cannot walk outside, you can also get a treadmill and walk on it regularly. Moreover, depending on your weight and the intensity of your workout, brisk walking can also help burn more than 200 calories in 30 minutes.

2. Try to Stand During Work.

Many of us spend hours at work inactive, resulting in a missed opportunity to burn hundreds of calories each day.

A standing desk may be able to help you improve that. Standing straight puts the body under a lot more stress than sitting and hence burns more calories.

If you stand for the whole of your workday, you can improve your leg strength and endurance. A small change, like standing instead of sitting, can make a significant difference.

However, if your workplace doesn’t have standing desks, take short five minute breaks to engage in some kind of exercise at least once an hour.

Standing can burn 50% more calories than sitting.

3. Get a Pet.

Getting a pet, like a dog, will provide you with an additional urge to get out and be active.

Pets require action, and they also need to go out to walk. This can act as a reminder to get at least a short stroll every day.

So, if you take your dog out for a stroll, you will also have to walk along. This can help you burn a lot of calories, and you can also stay fit.

4. Cleaning Your Home is also an Effective Way to burn Calories.

Cleaning your house or apartment regularly is another strategy to stay active throughout the week. Moreover, it can keep several muscle groups active and strong.

So, try not to shy away from cleaning your home as it can also play a vital role in keeping you fit.

For instance, mopping the flooring, cleaning the dishes, or even washing your clothes can contribute to losing excessive calories and keeping you fit.

5. Cooking is also a part of an Exercise.

While most people do not consider cooking to be exercise, even preparing a simple dish at home burns more calories, and usually results in fewer calories consumed.

It means, when you prepare your food, you know how many calories you intake. In this way, you can keep control of the type of food you prepare.

Cooking your food will resist you from preparing any unhealthy foods and can keep you healthy.

6. Light therapy can also Help to Maintain Fitness.

Red light treatment has various health benefits, ranging from lowering inflammation and the impacts of oxidative stress, to enhancing the body’s natural ability to heal itself. However, red light therapy also has a remarkable effect in assisting you to lose weight.

Along with improving your cells’ ATP production, red light therapy affects adipocytes or fat storing cells.

Exposure to red light therapy also causes adipocytes to release triglycerides, resulting in decreased volume and fat loss.

However, cholesterol reduction is not the only benefit red light treatment offers. Patients can also lose weight and keep themselves fit with regular use of this therapy.

7. Dancing Keeps You Fit.

Often, friends hang out in a coffee shop or bar. Instead of such hangouts, go for a calorie burning activity such as walking, dancing, or a Zumba class.

However, among all these activities, dancing is the most calorie burning exercise that can help you to burn more than 200 calories in under 30 minutes.
