Meanwhile, the people who actually go out and do the thing are taking risks, learning lessons, and making strides toward their goals every single day. Isn’t it time you joined them? This book coaches you through the journey with precise, actionable steps that help you take that all-important first leap and keep the momentum going. Discard the distractions, break through the overwhelm, and get going for real with this real-world blueprint for turning your vision into reality. Snap yourself out of “analysis paralysis”Stop thinking you need to know everything before you even beginMake those big decisions and focus in on your goals Chart your journey’s path, and get up and get started today Many of us have fallen into a trap: we no longer believe that “anything is possible”, yet we are surrounded by proof that everything is possible! But we are distracted, harried, overwhelmed, and maybe a little intimidated. Our dreams remain forever in limbo, and we may go to our graves before we venture beyond the “planning stage”. Don’t let that happen—don’t you deserve to realize your goals? Exactly Where to Start gives you the kick in the pants and the practical plan you need to stand up, step up, and make it happen.
Product Description As a mother-to-be you assume a significant responsibility. Giving birth to a new individual to love and to cherish is a wonderful experience. Providing that individual with good health and proper future development for its life ahead lies largely with your care and attention to your pregnancy. Where possible, that care and attention should start some three months or more prior to conception. Often conception may come unexpectedly, in which case lifestyle changes and optimal diet changes should take place immediately. The science of nutrition continues to develop at a rapid pace. The "Grandma told Mother, and Mother told me" information does not keep up with the new studies which show the importance of specific nutrients which contribute to the health and brain development of the baby in the womb. Adequacy of these nutrients can have far-reaching impacts on your baby's later scholastic achievements in childhood and adolescence. Locating relevant up-to-date, scientific evidence-based information on these nutrients is a difficult task for mothers-to-be. The author, a Specialist Nutrition Consultant, has lectured to doctor groups throughout Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Hong Kong and Taiwan. He was a guest speaker at both the 2005 Obstetrics & Gyn cology of Singapore Congress and the 2006 Obstetrical & Gyn cology Society of Malaysia Congress. This book is informative, interesting, and well-written on a specific aspect of pregnancy that more general pregnancy guides do not cover in detail. A well-balanced overview of key factors which can play an important role in the proper development of your baby in the womb, this book is a definite "must read" for the discerning mother-to-be wanting to give her baby a great start in life.
