ESTABLISHING FLEXIBILITY & MOMENTUM FOR RESOLUTIONS Plenty has been written over the past months regarding the art of setting resolutions for 2012. By now, the initial excitement has diminished and the work continues. In any career there is a stage is called the ‘Implementation Phase.’ If you are still focused on implementing your goals, kudos to you! Studies show by mid February, gym participation declines and the resolutions of the New Year begin to be forgotten. For those still working on goals, here are a few suggested strategies: be flexible, establish momentum and celebrate small wins. BE FLEXIBLE Realize unplanned situations may arise. Try to avoid wasting energy getting frustrated over situations you cannot control. Instead, use your creativity to find ways to support your fitness goals. For example, if you are unable to complete a 45 minute workout, consider a run/walk for 30 minutes followed by calisthenics. Research supports a broken down 30 minute workout, in increments of 10 minutes is beneficial. ESTABLISH MOMENTUM Let’s take Newton’s Law of Physics; an object in motion remains in motion…It takes less work to keep moving once you have some momentum. Take consistent steps to create a steady rhythm and to build confidence. This will make it easier to stay focused, make progress and work through any unforeseen challenges. CELEBRATE SMALL WINS Take time to celebrate those small moments that may seem insignificant but contribute to your fitness goals. Reward yourself for the small accomplishments. Take time to acknowledge, reflect and celebrate. After all, it’s your hard work and you know what you bring to the table when it’s all sweat and all heart. As always, we wish you balance, harmony, and Longevity. Be well be blessed. Hjalmar Perez is a freelance fitness presenter and in his spare time, he and his 3 month old Son enjoy researching biomechanics. Humberto Estrada is a fitness instructor and in his free time enjoys horseback riding and equine massage. By Hjalmar Perez, CPT, LMT Copyright © 2012 Peel, Inc.

St. Patrick’s Day Facts
1. St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, although he was born in Britain, around 385AD. His parents Calpurnius and Conchessa were Roman citizens living in either Scotland or Wales, according to different versions of his story. 2. As a boy of 14 he was captured and taken to Ireland where he spent six years in slavery herding sheep. He returned to Ireland in his 30s as a missionary among the Celtic pagans. 3. Legend has it that he used the native shamrock as a symbol of the holy trinity when preaching and brought the Latin alphabet to Ireland. 4. Miracles attributed to him include the driving of serpents out of Ireland. However, evidence suggests post-glacial Ireland never had any snakes in the first place. 5. Wearing green, eating green food and even drinking green beer, is said to commemorate St Patrick’s use of the shamrock - although blue was the original colour of his vestments. 6. St Patrick was said to have proclaimed that everyone should have a drop of the “hard stuff” on his feast day after chastising an innkeeper who served a short measure of whiskey. In the custom known as “drowning the shamrock”, the shamrock that has been worn on a lapel or hat is put in the last drink of the evening. 7. Popular Irish toasts on St Patrick’s Day, include: may the roof above us never fall in, and may we friends beneath it never fall out. 8. St. Patrick’s Day was first celebrated in America in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1737. Around 34 million modern Americans claim Irish ancestry. (Continued on Page 2) Bella Vista Bulletin - March 2012

Are You Prepared for a Dental Emergency?
Thousands of dental emergencies take place every day. Would you know what to do if your child broke a tooth or had a tooth knocked out while playing outdoors? What if you had a bad toothache in the middle of the night and couldn’t get to the dentist until the next day? Knowing what to do can lessen the pain and save a tooth that might otherwise be lost.

Bella Vista LIGHT IT UP BLUE IN APRIL People all over Austin and the World will change lights to blue, dress blue, eat blue, drink blue and even paint fingernails blue beginning on April 2. April is Autism Awareness Month and Autism Speaks is celebrating by turning the World (and Austin) blue for the month. This is the first year Austin will turn blue in a big way. In 2007, the United Nations adopted a resolution to make April 2nd World Autism Awareness Day. Autism Speaks created Light It Up Blue (LIUB) to create awareness for the month. Austin TV and radio talk shows will be airing LIUB segments and contests. Numerous buildings like the 2nd Street Business District, the Four
Seasons Hotel, the 360 Condos, the Amli Downtown and on 2nd Street, Home Away, west 6th Street Lounges and many more will be going blue. School campuses will be decorated, plus children and faculty will wear blue. Neighborhood Associations and organizations will turn blue. Blue events will flood the Greater Austin area like the Blue Bash, Blue Martinis and Manicures, a golf tournament, a Blue Bingo and Burger Bash, a Blue Easter Egg Hunt, a UT sorority sponsored Blue Ball and much more. Autism is becoming an epidemic with no known cause or cure. If the current trend continues, half the children born in the United States by 2046 will be diagnosed with autism. Our school districts are already “bending” under the load since 70% of people with autism are under 18. When these children become adults, what will happen?

Bella Vista Bulletin - March 2012
Many will have to be cared for throughout adulthood. Autism robs families of the child they thought they had, since, although some are born with it, many regress around ages 1 to 3. The child loses speech, does not make eye contact, tantrums frequently and seems to be unreachable in his own little world. A diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is devastating for parents. Every 15 minutes a parent hears this diagnosis! Not only have they “lost” a child, but their entire life is immediately changed. Money and time involved in treating autism is staggering—not to mention the emotional pull of every single day.
Last year over 1,800 iconic landmarks turned blue for April from Niagara Falls, Rockefeller Center, the New York Stock Exchange and the Empire State Building in New York to Christ the Redeemer Statue in Brazil. Buildings all over the world like the Cairo Tower in Egypt, the Hungarian Parliament and the Sydney Opera House in Australia turned blue. This year the number will top 2,000. Help fight the spread of autism. Create awareness by changing your exterior home bulbs to blue, wearing blue, painting your nails blue, decorating your child’s school in blue, etc. The 2012 Autism Speaks National Poster Child for the United States and Canada is a Greater Austin kindergarten student—a great feat for our area! Let’s show what we can do to make Austin blue! By Connie Ripley
