Mid America Events & Expos

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Looking for Positive Ways to Stay
Focused on those New Year’s Resolutions?
Explore alternatives for fitness, relaxation,
nutrition and more all under one roof

Each year, millions of Americans pledge to begin taking better care of themselves after January 1st. But as the new year progresses, the best intentions often fall by the wayside. Now there is a way to revitalize your resolutions, and get yourself back on the path to maintaining a fuller life and maybe lose a few bad habits.

If your New Year’s Resolution had anything to do with health, fitness, stress reduction or any other kind of self improvement, there are hundreds of natural products and services available to you right here in the Twin Cities that can help. You can explore your options at the upcoming Body Mind Life Expo™. This is the Midwest’s largest health and natural products expo, featuring hundreds of cutting edge products and services, free informative seminars, and nonstop entertainment.

“To reach your goals for 2004, start by creating a plan,” recommends Robin Kocina, President of Mid-America Events & Expos, Inc., producers of the Body Mind Life Expo™. The next steps, she says, include:

Write down the plan and refer to it often. Keep it fresh in your mind.
Develop tiny steps that will lead to the bigger goals. For example, instead of simply pledging to eat better, resolve to add one more serving of fruits or vegetables to each meal.
Seek support from others. Join a gym, a support group, or simply announce your goals to friends and co-workers and ask that they help keep you on track.
Find new tools to help you focus on your goals. Bring something new into your life to get you excited about the changes you want to make, such as a book on herbal remedies, joining a yoga class, or taking a relaxing trip to a day spa.
Attend the Body Mind Life Expo™ to find the resources, and people to help you achieve your resolutions.

Spend a few hours at this year’s Expo and gather tools to improve your life through self-hypnosis, get tips on how to break destructive habits, get a relaxing massage, discover unique homeopathic remedies, gather information on everything from natural hormone replacement to anti-aging techniques.

The Body Mind Life Expo™, now in its fourth year, is designed to help people explore their wellness options and re-energize their busy lives. This year’s show is being held Friday March 26th and Saturday March 27th at the Minneapolis Convention Center’s Grand Ballroom.

Attendees may register for a number of free drawings, including a basket filled with hundreds of dollars in valuable gifts, certificates and coupons donated by Expo exhibitors.

Included in this year’s speaker line-up are experts on personal well being such as songwriter/teacher Susan Reddin discussing healing through music, Natural Ovens Bakeries founder Paul Stitt on stopping heart disease in its tracks, and hypnotherapist Kristin Volk-Funk on using hypnosis for health and wellness.

“Year after year, people make health and wellness resolutions, only to break them a short time later because they don’t have the tools or support to continue. Visitors to the Body Mind Life Expo™ leave the show with many exciting ideas for bringing positive changes to their lives,” said Expo Manager Adam Lopez, of Mid-America Events & Expos .

From ancient Far Eastern therapies to healthy cooking for families on the go, this is a fun opportunity for anyone interested in self-improvement to explore the latest in products and services. The event, produced by Mid-America Events & Expos, Inc., draws thousands of visitors each year.
