\"airplane<\/a>More lessons from 10,000 feet… On this flight, I am sitting near Russ who travels<\/a> frequently for business. While distracting Emily from her flight anxiety,<\/strong> Russ told her and I about a flight he experienced during which the oxygen masks fell. He shared that all the passengers automatically turned their heads right and left like the flight attendant does during her pre-flight spiel. He and I both found it interesting how such things can be ingrained into our consciousness. I would venture that few to none of the passengers had ever had to utilize an in-flight oxygen mask prior to that incident.<\/p>\n

Unless your flight anxiety is high, my guess is that you tune out the spiel after your first flight or two (even Emily didn’t seem to be paying much attention); I know I don’t consciously pay attention and didn’t realize how the flight attendants turn their heads<\/em>. Yet, almost everyone mimicked the flight attendant automatically.<\/p>\n

What are you learning subconsciously? What messages are being integrated into your understanding subliminally? This is just one of the many reasons that I encourage people to turn off the TV for better sleep<\/a>. Did you realize your brain is still attentive even when you are not consciously paying attention? How can you be aware of this ability and utilize it for your health?<\/p>\n

Surround yourself with positive, healthy people<\/strong>. It is said that you are the average of the five people with whom you spend the most time. Are you spending time with those you wish to emulate? Do you have a workout buddy? Don’t forget to find a few health experts to follow on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you must fall asleep to something<\/strong>, find a positive, motivational, health-related podcast or turn on a yoga<\/a> dvd.<\/p>\n

Place yourself in healthy environments.<\/strong> Even if you only spend a small amount of time in the gym, you will receive a more powerful mental message at the gym then you will running the streets.<\/p>\n

Take every opportunity to watch sporting events<\/strong>. Parents, go to your children’s games and practices. Rather than tailgating, go to the football game early to watch how the players stretch and warm-up. (It’s also a great opportunity to get some nice photographs.)<\/p>\n

How else can you casually expose yourself to health-focused messages?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
