Top 10 Ways to Get Your Sexy Back in 2007
10) Dance for no good reason.
Dancing is a great way to have fun, burn calories and boost your immune system. Any exercise in which you move your body—and have fun doing it—releases endorphins. Endorphins actually give you a natural "high" and help reduce pain and stress, creating a feeling of well-being. Enjoy the feeling—as well as enjoy the benefits of keeping your heart strong and your immune system healthy. So dance for no reason and keep your body looking fit and sexy!
9) Drink more water.
Our cells are composed of between 70% and 90% water. We lose and need to replace approximately 2 to 3 quarts of water daily. Yet most of us drink less than half our daily need for water. 80% of Americans are dehydrated! Dehydration can cause all kinds of health problems, including migraines, constipation and fatigue. You should be drinking at least half your body weight in ounces per day. If you're exercising, speaking a lot, out in the heat or sick, you should be drinking even more water. Water is responsible for transporting nutrients and carrying waste out of the body. Without enough water, all those toxins stay in the body and recirculate throughout your entire system. When you keep your body properly hydrated you can expect your metabolism to operate at full capacity, the aging process to slow down, and your skin to have a radiant, sexy glow!
8) Breathe.
Breath is life. When you breathe you draw oxygen into the cells of your body so they can be nourished. Most people are shallow breathers and are not pulling in enough oxygen to fill the cells. Oxygen helps to recirculate the cells and remove toxins from our bodies. Increase your oxygen levels and you'll increase your energy levels. Proper deep breathing also helps to reduce stress, quieting the mind and body, and brings healing energy to the entire body. Practice a form of deep breathing on a daily basis, whether it's yogic breathing, meditation or even just taking 5 deep breaths throughout the day. Start breathing deeper and watch your energy soar... .You'll feel vibrant and sexy!
7) Exercise.
All of the processes in your body rely on exercise to keep them operating optimally. Exercise keeps your heart and other organs strong so they can perform at an optimal level. However, the vital functions of the lymphatic system which removes toxins from the body, rely on movement. Whereas the heart pumps the blood and the circulatory system, unless you move the lymph, it doesn't move on it's own. Rebounding or jumping on a trampoline has been found to be one of the most effective ways to move the lymph system. Walking, running and other forms of exercise are beneficial as well, not only to move the lymph system but to release toxins through the skin. If you feel sluggish or fatigued, there's a good chance your lymphatic system is sluggish as well. Start moving you're body and you'll have more energy... you'll look and feel sexier too!
6) Follow your bliss.
Joseph Campbell coined the term, but any successful person will tell you the secret to their success is that they do what they are passionate about. Why spend 8+ hours/day doing something you don't love? Why fill your life with obligations and other people's desires? Get in touch with what lights YOU up, what excites your soul, what is fun and easy for you. The wonderful book "Do What You Love and the Money Will Follow" sums up the truth—you will be more successful and attract more abundance into your life when you are following your bliss. People are drawn to your positive, radiate energy. A passionate you is irresistible—and yes, so sexy!
5) Eat more raw food.
When food is cooked, vital enzymes are destroyed. Without enzymes there can be no cell division, immune system functioning, energy production, or brain activity. This causes accelerated aging and breakdown of body processes. Additionally, between 50 to 80% of the nutrients are destroyed, pesticides break down into more toxic compounds, and oxygen is lost and free radicals produced. Eating raw foods provides you with nutrients that are alive with enzymes that cause you to feel more alive. You'll experience increased energy, better digestion and elimination, weight loss, and skin that radiates a sexy sparkle!
4) Use organic & botanical skincare products.
Do you have any idea how many chemicals are in skincare and makeup products? TONS! Remember, if you can't pronounce the words or the list of ingredients is a mile long, chances are it's not good for your skin. Putting all those chemicals on your face every day increases the amount of toxicity in your entire body. And consequently, the amount of toxins your body has to detox. The skin is the largest organ in the body and removes toxins through sweating. Don't overload your system with excess toxins and increase the workload of your body. Take good care of your skin and you'll age more gracefully and look younger naturally. Use mineral-based makeup like Bare Essentials and Arbonne and use a botanical skincare line like Arbonne.

3) Laugh more.
Laughter is nature's way to reduce stress naturally. It lifts our spirits, makes us feel good about life, and improves our relationships with others. When we laugh, our body releases a blend of hormones and chemicals, such as endorphins and serotonin that not only relax the body, but create a mental and emotional high. As well, the body fills with oxygen that strengthens the lungs and clears the breathing passage ways to take in even more healthful life-giving oxygen. Notice your blood pressure drop, your sad mood lifted, and your health enhanced. Laughing is oh so sexy!
2) Plan a vacation.
Most people love to travel—I know I do! And having a vacation planned will create a deadline for you to look your best and help you get your sexy back much quitter. Hang up your swimsuit where you'll see it everyday. Start planning what clothes you'll be taking. You'll get that extra motivation to exercise regularly and eat healthy.

Celebrate your success by the pool or beach with a refreshing fruity beverage and so off your sexy self!
