Hi Everyone!
I am looking forward to the new year and I know many of you are as well. I also know that many of you, as I am, are experienceing a great deal of change and concern with all that is happening.
As I sat thinking this morning, as I do every morning, I realized something very important with regards to change. I realized that change is when people can grow. In fact, it is, I think, the only sure way to grow. Think about it, when we experience change we have to consider the values we hold and we have to change those values to meet the change with success. If we do not look at our values and adapt to the environment we can experience great pain.
With what we are experiencing today we can welcome it with open arms. This is a new year and it is in the new year people like to make changes to their life. I know I do and this year will be a very important year for myself and The Pillers. I have thought deeply about the values I hold and the values the Pillars holds in terms of what makes a great life and a great bussiness. I plan on making this year the best year of my life!
I would like to hear from you and what you have learned from the changes you have experienced due to the situation we all face. In fact, we all can learn from each other and I want this to be a place where we can share helpful hints in terms of getting along with life and experiencing true happiness.
Feel free to share your story and remember you may respond to me directly at: john@7poe.com. You may also call me at: 513-234-7848. I am very excited to hear from you and I hope only the best for all of you. Start the year off helping others by sending me your story so I can share it with my readers.

“Our Thoughts Create Our Reality”
By: Dr. John P. DeMann
“I theorized that there was a thinking disorder at the core of the psychiatric syndromes such as depression and anxiety.” Aaron T. Beck, M.D.
I suggest that this is also true for experiencing happiness, fulfillment or any of the positive emotions we all seek in what we do. The fact that we can only think of one thing at a time tells us that an emotion equal to the thought will be attached to the thought. This really means that if we are depressed we are thinking depressing thoughts.
Of course we must take into consideration the chemistry of the mind-body system when we seek answers to questions like: Why am I depressed? Or why am I angry? This reality is in the thought itself. When we ask these questions we only serve the emotion of depression or anger. What would happen if we changed the questions to: What am I happy about or what can I do to experience this situation in a positive way?
If we can only think of one idea at a time then it stands to reason the questions that ask: What am I happy about? Or what can I do to experience this situation in a positive way, can only provide emotions that serve the positive answers we seek from the questions above. In short, the quality of life in many cases is determined by the quality of questions we ask ourselves.
This may seem simple and too basic, but I can say from experience that a person is usually only as happy as they “think” they are. If we can reframe our questions to require positive answers we will experience the emotions attached to the quality of the questions. I believe this one idea can make a big difference in the quality of life one lives.
To experience this first hand we have to first realize we usually create habitual responses to the world we experience. In fact, the world we experience is based on the thoughts we have. Of course you could be experiencing serious issues, but I suggest if you ask the right questions you can create a world many only dream of and to do this you must first recognize your habitual responses to your experiences.
Next you can take notice of the responses you have to situations and consciously begin catching yourself and finding more empowering responses to the situation at hand. It is important to leave all negativity behind. This does not mean you will not have negative responses in the beginning. Remember, you have to break the habit of negative responses and create a new habit of responding positively to all situations. There is not one situation you cannot find a way to experience it in an empowering way. If you can think of any let me know, but I think you will find that simply asking: What can I learn from this experience, you will create positive responses to any scenario.
Try this for 30 days and see what happens. Remember:
1. Recognize your habitual response to most situations.
2. Catch yourself and make a conscious effort to respond with an empowering question.
3. Notice the difference in the emotions you experience when you reframe questions or thoughts.
4. Keep a journal of your experience in this exercise.
5. Let me know how it worked.
You may respond openly on the journal page here or you may respond to me privately at john@7poe.com. I hope to hear from you!

5 ways to Get in Shape for The New Year
5 Ways to Get in Shape for The New Year
Mason, Oh - 11/07/2008 - There's always that one New Year's resolution that comes back to haunt us year after year only to remain unfulfilled. How often have you made it through the holiday feasting to find a few mysterious extra pounds hovering around your midsection and resolved that "this year, I'm going to get into shape"?
And how often has that resolution fallen by the wayside once the fireworks die down and you get back into the momentum of your life?
The Pillars of Excellence has worked with many medical doctors and health care providers in helping their patients rid excess bodyfat, increase energy and stay fit through custom health and fitness programs. We also work with organizations around the world creating wellness programs that fit their needs.
Below are the five most manageable ways we have found to get in shape and stay in shape for the New Year.
1. Drink lots of water - Our bodies are made up of something like 70% water. Just a 1% drop in water intake can severely dehydrate you, limiting your performance in every aspect of your life.
2. Cut out fast food - fast food just isn't good for your body. Regardless of what the high-powered advertising agencies tell you. Fast food has too many chemicals, food additives, refined sugars, high fructose corn syrup, fried foods, and an overall lack of nutrition. If high calorie, non-nutrition is what you are after, fast food may be for you. The personal trainers advise against this bad habit.
3. Eat 5-7 small meals per day - Yes, you heard that right! Small frequent meals throughout the day not only levels out your blood sugar, decreasing the lows you may experience throughout the day, but eating sensibly, and often, will provide your muscles and body with the appropriate nutrition you need to get you through your entire day.
4. Exercise every day - Old research said you must exercise 30 minutes a day, but the latest experts suggest this just isn't enough. What do you need to get in the best shape of your life? 60 minutes of vigorous exercise, daily.
5. Consult a personal trainer or contact The Pillars of Excellence - Let's face it; personal trainers know their stuff. They train, study, and devote themselves to being a better health and fitness expert everyday. They work out everyday, eat smart, and are right in the middle of several teams of experts. If you just booked one session to ensure you are on the right track, your body will thank you for it. Not to mention your significant other.
Have Fun!

Thought Creates
Many of us believe that there is a secret to success. In our seeking this secret I believe we often create an image of something very unique and complicated. In our search it often feels like the secret is in reach, but many of us feel that we are missing an important piece of the secret that will take us to extraordinary levels of achievement. I feel this is the reason we constantly seek the answer and spend a great deal of time and money looking for this seemingly unattainable skill. However, I do believe that the secret we seek is something very attainable and very easy to understand and use.
In my research I have found that we often seek this secret in the wrong place. We look to books, studies, other people we feel have the secret and sometimes ludicrous seminars and courses given by some self proclaimed guru that only milks us of the hard earned money we have earned. Please do not get me wrong, many times we can learn a great deal from books, research, studies and even the self proclaimed guru's, but the truth is we have all used the secret at some point and probably use it daily without even knowing we are using it.
The word education means to bring out. This means that a good teacher is not some "know it all" who spoon feeds their students, but a guide that draws from each of us the knowledge within. We seem to have forgotten the most important tool of gaining knowledge and attainment of success in any area of life, our brain. Our thoughts are the most powerful tool we have, but we often fail to trust our own knowledge and rely on others to feed us what we want to know.
To achieve anything we must first understand that thought is required. In fact, thought is the foundation of all success. Take for example the architect who is contracted to build a house. The first step of course was the individual who came up with the idea. The architect is given the idea and begins to create the structure on paper based on the details of the initial idea. What is important to remember is that the idea first came from thought and it is in that thought creation begins. Once the idea is placed on paper and is approved a contractor then comes in and follows the instructions of the architect.
Anyone who has succeeded in creating a business completed a similar process as mentioned above. They came up with the idea, asked experts in certain areas to create the professional plans and the business is off the ground. The ones who are most successful are the ones who created the business, not the ones who worked it or built it, but the one who came up with the idea and got the ball rolling. The point is that true success comes from creation, from ideas and putting ideas in motion.
This week I will provide a simple, but effective exercise that will change your life forever. In fact, this process can be used to accomplish anything. The only skills needed are your ability to define what you want and the ability to "see" in your minds eye the accomplishment of the desired outcome. Also, it is important to believe that you can accomplish your desired outcome. Belief is crucial in the process and proof of this can be seen in the placebo effect. To build belief start small and work this process every day. Building your belief is like building a muscle, it needs exercise.
Exercise:
1. Determine outcome desired.
2. Believe that this outcome is attainable.
3. Visualize the outcome as if it is already attained.
4. Give thanks for achieving it.
5. Take action.
6. Evaluate progress and be flexible. When an action fails learn from it and change your approach.
Note: It is important to see the outcome as if it is already true. During visualization you will experience negative thought, however all you need to do is push that thought out of mind and replace it with the belief that the outcome is received.
One more important point. If you ever want to achieve anything it is imperative that you are enthusiastic. Make certain the outcomes you choose are truly your desires.
Thanks a Million,

Why to Eat Well
Why to Eat Well
By: Dr. John P. DeMann
And
The Pillars of Excellence
According to the experts at the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA), the organization that teaches the nation’s top personal trainers how to get their clients into shape, total fitness involves an integrated approach that is dynamic, multidimensional, and also relates to heredity and environmental factors.
Your metabolism is something that people like to believe is inherited, set, and unchangeable. You know, “I wish I could eat whatever I want and never get fat, but I have a slow metabolism, I can’t help it.” In actuality, your metabolic set point (the average rate at which your metabolism runs) can be influenced by the climate, nutrition, exercise, and other factors. One thing to keep in mind when taking a look at your nutritional habits is that a low calorie diet will in fact slow down your metabolism in order to conserve energy. Exercise, on the other hand, tends to keep the metabolic rate up, with aerobic exercise especially tending to cause the body to burn more fat for energy.
That doesn’t mean that the type of food you eat can’t influence your metabolism in the other direction. It can, as long as you stick to sound nutrition. Sound nutrition is the consumption of food that provides your body with all the nutrients it needs to remain healthy and active. There are six major nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and water) necessary for a healthy body. A deficiency in any one of these nutrients can reduce your chances of success in reaching your fitness goals.
The food you eat can be burned to produce energy, converted into body weight, or excreted. Calories from conventional sources of fat are usually stored as body fat, while calories from carbohydrates are burned for energy. Alternatively, calories from protein are generally used for maintenance, repair and growth of new tissues and organs. Also, when you eat small frequent meals throughout the day, your body’s need to store fat is reduced and body fat is instead mobilized as an energy source.
Considerable data indicates that the safest and most effective way to accomplish weight control is to combine sensible eating habits with a program of sound exercise including both aerobic and weight training. The technical support staff of the trainers to the personal trainers tells us that five principle components are needed in order to attain total fitness: cardiovascular endurance, strength, sound nutrition, flexibility, and a positive mental outlook. Keep an eye out for forthcoming articles on the importance of incorporating these components into your lifestyle.

DeMann], ISSA Certified Trainer, CPEC, PCC/ICF, MPCC, MECC, Ph.D., can be reached at the Pillars of Excellence in Ohio and travels the world where he conducts Seminars, Workshops, one on one and group coaching in Personal and Professional Development.

Five Ways to Get in Shape For The Summer
Five Ways to Get In Shape For The Summer
By Dr. John P. DeMann
Mason, Ohio 3/30/2008 – The first days of spring means the sun is coming out and it’s time to reveal those abdominal muscles, shoulders, and arms.
For some it’s a good thing, and for others there is some room for improvement. We asked the experts at the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) to tell us the 5 most powerful ways to get in shape, and stay in shape, for the upcoming summer months.
If you haven’t heard of the ISSA, they are the organization that literally teaches the nation’s top personal trainers how to get their clients into shape. Below is what the Technical support staff of the trainers to the personal trainers told us on how to get ready for the coming summer months:
1. Exercise every day – Old research said you must exercise 30 minutes a day, but the latest experts suggest this just isn’t enough. What do you need to get in the best shape of your life? 60 minutes of vigorous exercise, daily.
2. Eat 5-7 small meals per day – Yes, you heard that right! Small frequent meals throughout the day not only levels out your blood sugar, decreasing the lows you may experience throughout the day, but eating sensibly, and often, will provide your muscles and body with the appropriate nutrition you need to get you through your entire day.
3. Reduce your calories by 300 per day (if over daily amount) – There are 3500 calories in a pound of fat. So if you cut your calories by 300 per day, times 30 days in a month, that is a 9000 calorie deficit -- approximately 2 ½ half pounds. Combine this with exercise and you are virtually guaranteed to win the fight against the fat covering up your sexy abdominal section.
4. Consult a personal trainer – Let’s face it; personal trainers know their stuff. They train, study, and devote themselves to being a better health and fitness expert every day. They work out every day, eat smart, and are right in the middle of several teams of experts. If you just booked one session to ensure you are on the right track, your body will thank you for it. Not to mention your significant other.
5. Lift weights with little to no rest between sets – Here’s the fun part. The goal here is to increase your heart rate, get vigorous exercise, and above all else, stay moving! And lifting weights is one of the best ways to do it. Not only does properly lifting weights strengthen your musculoskeletal system and help keep your bones together, but a strength training program is key in developing a sexy, strong, physically attractive body. And by not resting in between sets, you will keep your heart rate up, telling your body to burn that body fat!

Why Water?
Why Water? By Dr. John P. DeMann, CPEC/ICF/ISSA
It's our body's vital fuel, a health drink from Mother Nature. It's calorie-free, inexpensive, and easily obtained. Yet few people follow the old fashioned advice to drink eight glasses of water a day.
Water is the most abundant substance in your body:
• All of your cells are soaked in water.
• Water makes up 55% to 75% of your total body weight.
• The food you eat contains about 70% water.
• A 10% reduction of water in your body can make you sick.
• A 20% loss of water can mean death.
Although you can survive for weeks without food, you can survive only a few days without water.
Water is involved in every bodily function known to man:
• Your vital fluid blood is comprised of ninety percent water, so that a reduction in water means more concentrated blood, making your body more susceptible to clotting and less efficient at delivering oxygen to your brain and muscles.
• Everything from temperature regulation to digestion to energy production is controlled by water.
• Water helps you recover from your workouts.
• Water aids in fat-based fueling of muscles.
• Water provides for storage of water inside your cells.
When you become dehydrated, all of these functions become less effective and your performance levels lower.
It is recommended that you drink eight to twelve glasses of water per day. Drinking water can:
• help us exercise longer and more efficiently
• Ward off constipation and maybe even crankiness
• help us lose weight and keep it off (water is a natural appetite suppressant)
If you are dieting, make sure to drink plenty of water so your liver can effectively metabolize body fat.
Drinking fluids, particularly water, during exercise reduces cardiovascular stress and improves performance. After a strenuous workout, you have to replace the fluids you have lost or you will suffer chronic dehydration. Dehydration is the loss of water from the body and a depletion of electrolyte levels (sodium and potassium). It is treated by replacing the water the body is lacking and by restoring electrolyte levels to normal. Dehydration may be caused by inadequate water intake or by excessive water loss, but the most common cause of dehydration is a simple failure to drink liquids. By the time you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Drink water before, during, and after exercising, and remember that water reduces body temperature and makes the whole exercise process safer.
Active people need more water than inactive people do. A reduction in as little as four to five percent body water can result in a drop in physical performance as great as twenty to thirty percent. It is recommended that you consume plenty of water:
• On a daily basis
• twenty minutes before any athletic event
• following high carbohydrate meals
Do not wait until you are thirsty to drink water. By the time your body reaches that point, you are already deficient in this vital fluid. When you consider that our muscles are made up of nearly 70% to 80% water, it is easy to see why fluid replacement is so important. Dehydration upsets the natural balance of fluids in the body and can lead to serious problems, including difficulties associated with heart function and temperature-regulation.
The average person loses approximately 2.5% of total body water per day. When you participate in any activity that causes you to sweat, it depletes your body fluid levels and increases your risk of dehydration. In addition to the recommended daily water intake, it is recommended that you drink 16 ounces of water for every pound of weight lost during exercise. Since it takes your body 15 to 20 minutes to absorb 16 ounces of water, you should consume the needed amount in fifteen-minute intervals, rather than all at once.
The importance of water is unquestionable, especially for anyone who is physically active. As the major “ingredient” of the human body, plenty of water is essential to healthy and qualitative athletic performance.

He will be visiting schools in Britain to show how to help a child go from, for example, a seemingly hopeless mischief maker, who cannot concentrate, who is ‘going nowhere’ - to an A grade student! And it’s not a long winded ‘process’ that takes weeks or months! It’s done and dusted in less than a day!
These teachings are, unfortunately - and quite CLEARLY, not taught in schools! This is why he is so committed to changing the way that we are being ‘taught’!
In the near future, The Pillars Family will be sponsoring youngsters through university and setting up weekend meetings where people can come together to build their own mastermind groups to encourage each other to stick with their development as well as to get extra coaching.
He has also pioneered a program that shows people how to improve their memory to a fantastic level very quickly. Can you imagine what this can do for children in schools?! Let alone the society at large!
He also happens to be introducing a revolutionary new program & concept that will flip the medical profession right on its head!
Anyone who acts on the teachings in his book ‘The Pillars of Excellence’ and seminar (Soteria) is going to go through the roof in regards to excellence in ALL areas of their life!
