WHAT ARE YOU FOCUSING ON?

I sit here at work trying to watch the Inagural speech only to be distracted by the conversation going on in the room. Here are some of the comments.......

OMG....did you hear how badly he slipped up?
ha...She's wearing yellow
Why isnt he wearing a coat?


People......Does it really matter that he slipped up in his speech? He's human for heavens sake. What would you be like standing there in front of that many people in the freezing cold knowing that you are making history? Would you be perfect? And his wife wearing yellow...well...quite frankly it complimented her, so why not??? And...don't you think that if he wanted to wear a coat he would have......

I had to leave the room.....

I am choosing to focus on the positive things in life. Remember what the law of attraction says.....

What you focus on you become. You become what you think about most and you attract what you think about most.

I would have liked to listen to his speech and I will.

Here are a few rules of engagement that a brilliant man wrote and calls "The Four Agreements"

1. Be impeccable with your word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

2. Don't take anything personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality. When you are immune to the opinions and action of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

3. Don't make assumptions. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you realy want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement you can completely transform your life.

4. Always do your best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment. It will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best and you will avoid self-judgment, self abuse and regret.

Practice these agreements. When you do, you will not be so worried that someone slipped up in a speech or that someone is wearing yellow. Live in a state of gratitude. I will gaurantee that when you practice these agreements and achieve a state of gratitude...you will find ultimate happiness.

What are you focusing on???

TAKE A STEP BACK

I was in the grocery story the other day...my head in thought...on so many different thoughts and I was trying to focus on finding vegetarian foods for the girl I took in. I was making my self crazy....I felt stuck...I felt like my brain could just not focus.......

I searched for Boca products....because I knew she would like that...I became more and more frustrated. I remembered that I should just take a deep breath and quiet my brain.

I closed my eyes...took a step back and took a deep breath. When I opened my eyes...right there in front of me was exactly what I was looking for...it was there all along...right under my nose!

What's the moral of this story?

When you feel stuck...no matter what it is...just take a step back, take a deep breath and quiet your brain.

The answer you are searching for will be right there....under your nose.

BREATHE

BREATHE...yes...thats what you should do. You know most women (and a good many men for that matter) go through life feeling stressed. I know this by my patients. Women come in to me and I always have to tell them to relax their shoulders. Firstly it allows more breast tissue to be in view, but it also helps the patient de-stress.

I explained to my patient today the fact that when we are stressed our body produces some hormone or chemical that robs the body of oxygen, which in turn makes us more stressed. Its a vicious cycle.

So...when you are stressed...take a very deep breath in through your nose. (so that you fill your entire lung capacity) and slowly let the breath out through your mouth. As a matter of fact...don't do it only when you feel stressed but also at other times to help maintain a non stress state.

Take your hour of power each day for yourself and do what ever makes you FEEL good. If its meditating, then meditate, if its running then run. If its just sitting on the couch in peace and quite then sit. But do it for you and when you do it remember to breathe.

I tell this to all my patients, all my coaching clients, all my VA clients and to all of you...my good friends.

TO YOUR SUCCESS!!

God's Menu

A good friend sent me this note. It's been said that God firs separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish.... all before making a human. he made and provided what we'd need before we were born. these are best and more powerful when eaten raw....



I also found the exact same thing in Healthy Inside magazine........



A sliced carrot looks like the human eye. the pupil, iris and radioating lines look just like the human eye...and yes, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which the body converst to vitamin A. Your eyes need A to maintain the health of cells in your corneas, the transparent tissue that covers the eye and protects it from germs, dust, inflammation and infection.



The Tomatoe has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food. Grapes hang in clusters that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all the research today shows grapes are also profound hear and blood vitalizing food. Red and purple grapes (along with other dark fruits and vegetables) contain flavonoids, which experts say protect against disease, as well as cancer and brain-aging. A recent study from the University of Michigan also found that the heartshaped clusters of fruit may help control blood pressures.



A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function. Walnuts are essential to cognitive performance, memory, and nerve health.



Kidney beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.



Celery, Bok Choy, rhubarb and many more look just like bones! These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body. Bok Choy is an excellent source of calcium, a mineral that's essential for keeping bones strong and dense. Rhubarb is rich in vitamin K, which helps activate three proteins involved in bone health and increases bone-mineral density.



Avocadoes, eggplant and pears taget the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female-they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight and prevents cervical cancers. and how profound it this? It takes exactly nine months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods.



Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries. An italian study found that women whose diets included a lot of olive oil had 30 percent lower risk of ovarian cancer. The reasons are unclear, but the healthy fats in the oil may help suppress genes predisposed to cancer.



Melons and cirtus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of the lymph in and out of the breasts. Oranges and melons are rich in immune-boosting vitamin C and some studies indicate that a C-heavy diet (from food, not supplements) helps prevent breast cancer.



Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.



Sweet potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the gycemic index of diabetics. They release sugars gradually into the blood stream. That means they don't stress the organ.



Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste matierial from all the body cells. They even produce tears wheich was the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, the garlic also helps eliminate waste materials and dagnerous free radicals from teh body.



I hope you found this as intriguing as I did!
