Weight Loss Satisfies Enormous Need

Maslow identified seven basic human motivations that guide peoples' conduct: physical needs, safety needs, social needs, self-esteem needs, cognitive needs, aesthetic needs, and self-actualization needs.

weight loss makes you physically better, more able, more flexible, more energetic, visibly more attractive, and more appealing to the eye.

weight loss gives you safety in the form of stronger muscles and joints to protect your body from unnecessary injuries, aches, pains, and disease onslaught.

weight loss improves your social life because people are drawn to physically masterful individuals, since it is unusual to meet one in your own circle of friends. Plus, human beings are naturally curious as to how you obtained your results. They want to talk with you, spend time with you, and get some answers from you - believing that maybe you can help them accomplish their personal weight loss goals, as well.

weight loss increases self-esteem because it is empowering to your mind to know that your body can initiate desires changes at will. Having the ability to repeat positive body weight feats is both rewarding in physical and emotional terms.

weight loss satisfies cognitive need (the necessity to have more knowledge)... because you are born with the natural need to learn new, exciting, and workable techniques that allow you to grow and prosper in positive ways. Losing weight allows you to learn, explore, discover, and create... not only a better understanding of how your own body works, but also how the world around you complements the changes you make.

weight loss satisfies aesthetic needs - aesthetic beauty comprises the basis of human motivation. Thus "viewing" the innate or pure beauty of arts, sports well performed, and the making of a lean, attractive, or well-chiseled body can give you outstanding pleasure and satisfaction. The visual appeal of a great body cannot easily be denied or ignored. It is something that almost everyone wants.

weight loss satisfies self-actualization needs. You have undoubtedly heard the saying, "Be All That You Can Be."

Losing weight allows you to make the most of the inherent traits, characteristics, and physical attributes you already possess, or will acquire in the near future. Via the attainment of your near-perfect body, you are also letting your true nature be revealed without hesitation or shyness.

These are effectively all very powerful entities that can only accentuate your being.

And, you can get the full spectrum simply by losing body fat and using your body weight properly.

Developing A Good Fade Golf Shot

A good golf swing, for most people is developed through hours of golf instruction and practice. Many people never really do develop what they would describe as a good golf swing. The most common problem for the average golfer is overcoming their slice. For many beginning golfers it is a cause of great frustration and may cause them to quit the game of golf altogether. A golf ball slices when one of several golf swing problems cause excessive side spin on the ball causing the ball to curve to the right.

If you have a good golf swing that is consistent and repetitive then you might even want the develop the effects of a slice. A controlled slice is called a fade. The major difference between a slice and a fade is the amount of control. Why would you want to slice the ball? All golf courses have obstacles and dogleg fairways that have to be overcome by the golfer. Many golfers will play short or lay up to get around these course obstacles however many good golfers will choose to hit a fade or draw golf shot. A good fade shot is a good way to get around a right dogleg or an tree located in the right side of the fairway. Again a fade is a controlled right hand curving golf shot.

So how do you make a good fade shot? You begin by getting into your normal address position. Swing your club up to waist high follow through position so that your left arm is fully extended so that the club and your arm forms an L shape. That means the tip or toe of the club must point back to right. When you look down the club shaft you should note that your point of aim is 10 to 15 feet to the left of your target.

Now bring your swing all the way to the back swing position. Repeat this move several times to ingrain the feel of this swing. You will notice that the position of your follow through position will cause your to take a wide outside upswing plane. As you make your down swing your club face will remain open as your swing moves outside during your release. This will cause strong left to right spin and thus a fade shot. You will have to spend a good deal of time at the range to get a comfortable and confident with your fade shot. Remember to warm up your practice session using the fundamentals of a good golf swing. plan your practices sessions with distinct objectives. Keep a diary of each practice session to assure you develop a repeatable golf shot.

On the course you can use the mental check list of steps provided above to make sure that your swing plane is correct for the fade shot. Some golfers will also increase the amount of fade by further opening the club face. One additional tip is to make sure you maintain strong left hand grip to delay the release of your hands which will also open the club face at the point of impact. As you develop your skill and confidence at making a consistent fade shot your enjoyment of the game of golf will increase and your partners will marvel at your skill. Imagine the look on their faces as your ball fades around a center fairway tree to lie in the middle of the fairway on the other side. A good golf swing is a beautiful thing.
