<p>Recovery and life are both lived day-by-day, hour-by-hour, and minute-by-minute. Now, you can work your program by linking time to your personal commitment to be abstinent.</p>
<p>To the outside world, this is a stylish, high quality timepiece. But, to you, it carries a secret that keeps you connected to your personal message of resolve. It provides you with a quiet moment to stabilize and center yourself, no matter what is going on. It celebrates your sobriety whenever you check the time.</p>
<p>Consider this watch as your meaningful companion on your journey. It is a constant in a world of change. Let your HP timepiece have a place on your wrist at all times. Start each day with your engraved message. Read it often throughout the day, both silently and out loud. You will become aware of positive energy that will help you take little steps to create change in your life. Stay in the moment with your mantra and it will move you forward.</p>
<p>Work your program with time on your side&#8211;every second, every minute, every hour.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>John, one of my best friends, just let me know that he had a relapse.  He was really upset that this happened.  He had been doing so well—over 5 years in recovery.  His mistake was, he thought he had this disease licked.  Last year, he met a lovely woman, got married and promptly moved to another city.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hourpowerwatches.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/wellness-open-white.jpg"><img class="floatLeft size-medium wp-image-55" title="wellness-open-white" src="http://www.hourpowerwatches.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/wellness-open-white-138x300.jpg" alt="12 step recovery with HourPower watches" width="104" height="227" /></a>All good things—except that he stopped attending meetings regularly and he didn’t keep up with his sponsor or find a new one.  He stopped staying in the moment and working his program one day at a time.</p>
<p>We have been talking about how he can begin again.  Aside from his meetings and working the steps, he is going to be using his HourPower watch (<a title="Personalized watches" href="http://hourpowerwatches.com/">www.hourpowerwatches.com</a>) to stay focused.  He’s going to be checking the time and his secret message to keep him going forward.  He said that he never wants to forget who he is and what he has to do.  Looking down at his wrist, reminds him of his goal and the hours that have successfully passed in his day.  Minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, he is fighting his way back to recovery.</p>
<p>We’re all in his corner and praying for him.</p>

He caught my eye looking in that direction and immediately whipped open the secret chamber.  Inside I could see an engraving that said “Faith Can Move Mountains” and a date, as well as a picture of his family.</p>
<p>“Look at this,” he enthused. “ I found a wonderful way to celebrate my journey in recovery.  <a href="http://hourpowerwatches.com/recovery/index.html">HourPower® watches</a> all flip open to hold these words that are so important to me and my anniversary in AA.  This is like a touchstone in my life, telling me the time and linking me to my sobriety every minute of the day.”</p>
<p>I was delighted to hear his words because that is what HourPower® is all about.  We can change with HP time—Look Within!  We are a quiet moment in a busy day—a chance to focus, to think, to appreciate, to love.  That’s what HourPower is all about.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My name is Dr. Brenda Ellner.  I have been working with my clients to create the changes they want in their lives for the past 30 years. The <a href="http://www.hourpowerwatches.com">HourPower </a>timepiece was my “brainchild” to further support their goals.</p>
<p>I have always felt that people needed something more tangible to utilize visualization and positive affirmation techniques.  They needed a constant source of support that they could touch and see.  That is why we developed the HourPower® watch.</p>
<p>Utilizing Time makes sense.  We don’t want to admit it, but, our lives are ruled by time. We check the hours and minutes throughout the day.   Now, we can let Time become our talisman to maintain focus.  By wearing the HP watch each day, Time now becomes a very special vehicle of support. </p>
<p>Numerous research studies have proven that the ability to maintain focus is the secret to success. Positive thoughts create positive energy; and the more visible and present they are, the easier it is to stay focused.</p>
<p>We know that HourPower is a precious gift to the wearer.  Many of our customers tell us that the watch is like a touchstone, keeping them strong wherever they are.   They know that “Power is Focus, Focus is Power”.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">We just got a letter from one of our customer’s in California.  She had purchased the HourPower® Watch after reading about the motivational power that our timepiece can unleash for the wearer.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">She wanted to get started on the resolutions she had made to herself. First on her list was eating better and losing weight.  She had her watch engraved with, “I’m making myself the first priority”.  Then, she put a message inside the hidden compartment that read, “I am fit and beautiful in body, mind, and spirit.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">She reports that she was amazed—the more she opened her watch and read her mantras; the better she felt.  She began to smile every time she read her words.  Then, she began to feel a real movement in her willingness to think about what she was eating.  The more she used the HourPower watch as a motivational tool, the more she began to feel new energy to achieve her goals.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">She wanted all of us at <a href="http://www.hourpowerwatches.com">HourPower Watches </a>to know that she gets it.  She is feeling pretty happy about linking time to the changes she wants to bring into her life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HourPower watches are designed as a tool for what we now know to be the most effective form of transformation and inspiration.  Let me tell you how to use them:</p>
<p>Three Easy Steps to use the Secret Chamber</p>
<ol>
<li> Create a short positive goal or image of what you want.  Write it on a paper disk and put it inside your watch</li>
<li> Open your watch often throughout the day and visualize your  goal.</li>
<li> Use the positive energy that you will experience to lead you to small steps that make it happen.</li>
</ol>
<p>I know it sounds like such a simple procedure&#8211;that’s the beauty of the HourPower watch.  Because it is always present on your wrist; the time now links you to positive energy and commitment to change.</p>
