Eating Healthy Foods

Knowing When Enough Is Enough

2012-02-26T17:47:00.001-08:00

Knowing when it is time to make a change in life. Many of us have come to the conclusion that it is time to make a lifestyle change. I talk about making a change a lot because many of us need to do just that. Want to live longer and enjoy life with your family? I will answer a yes for that question because it is my desire to live a long prosperous life. In order to do this, we have to take care of ourselves. When I am talking to you, I am also speaking to myself. I am working on making a difference in my life, and I want all of you to do the same. Eat right, exercise and take care of our bodies is a must. I am 50 years old and believe me, when you reach this age your body talks to you. Smile.... It tells you when every inch of your body changes. That is why I am so serious about a lifestyle change. I want to feel good, look good and enjoy my days here on earth. Most of it is up to us. We have to make the final decision to work on this building. For me Yoga was my way of giving myself a gift. A gift of bettering my life and becoming more healthier then I am.

My Bones Ache

2012-02-26T15:36:00.001-08:00

Yoga class, and I am feeling like I am as stiff as a tree. Trying to bind my knees and stretch to the sky. Getting in tune with my inner self is a challenge today. Its just one of those days when you just want to lay on your mat and meditate with no moment involved. I must admit, my inner self is ready as always, but my body is saying "maybe tomorrow." Still I am embracing the moment and releasing the aches from me. Opening myself to receiving the positive energy that's going to get me through this. Still it's just one of those days.

In With The Good And Out With The Bad

2012-02-26T15:22:00.000-08:00

In with the good and out with the bad I always say. Get rid of all the things that hinder your growth. Holding on to the past will stun your growth and cause you to lose out in life. Don't be afraid, let go and begin to live a new life. Experiencing not so good things in the past can have a negative effect on ones present and future. Its not easy letting go of things sometimes, and being hurt can alter your journey. Let it go! Maybe some of us need help in releasing, but it has to be done in order to continue to make a difference in your life. Its all about growing and forgiving. Forgiving those who have done you wrong can be very hard to do. But this has to be done in order to move on in life. Holding onto a negative past can cause all sorts of stress and pressures that will eventually bring about sickness. So many are dealing with health issues because they just won't let go of those pains of yesterday. Some people even feel that they have forgiven, but really deep down they are still pressed with the pain. What do you do when this happens? How can you be free from those nightmares of what was?

A reality check is needed and you need to examine yourself. Thank about it and ask yourself a question. "Did I really let go and forgive those who have caused me pain?" Let the negative energy flow out and allow the positive energy to replace it. Care about yourself and be your best friend sometimes we have to give that pat on our own back. Don't blame yourself for what others have done to you. Everyone has be accountable for their own actions. You are not the blame for someone else's wrong. So, breath in the good and exhale the bad.

2012-02-26T12:43:00.001-08:00

Feeling the Power, gaining the inner strength from that powerful energy that is all around us makes us strong in love and peace. We are beings made by His hands, and we can feel Him in ourselves. We are that image of God and have that oneness which embraces us all.

Awaiting The Materializations of Life

2012-02-05T09:28:00.000-08:00

In life we have many challenges, and the most difficult task is making decisions. Everyday that we awaken into a new day, we begin a start, a new beginning. Its not always easy to decide your path, so the best way possible is to trust your Higher Power to guide you along the way. Realizing that we are only human and can not control everything about us, we look to God to enlighten our pathway of truth. Troubles, trials and tribulations are always present. But we have a choice to accept or reject what is right from the wrong. Worrying has no place to ponder in our minds and our hearts need space to grow more love for self and others. Give the mind peace and the heart joy of life that will reflect the Sunlight that shines through. Smile with laughter knowing that you are alive and have the greatest gift of all, and that is LIFE.. Do everything out of Love and you will see a much better world. Your world can be wonderful, peaceful and fill of joy. Ask yourself a valuable question, "what do you want from life!" Your life is precious and true needing to be filled with plenty of happiness that waits for you to open up and receive. Never settle for whatever, but always accept what you deserve. Patience can sometimes be like a dose of Castor Oil, but serves a good purpose. And, eventually will cure that ailment. So if you are waiting for some desirable moment to happy or something special to take place, continue with a smile to wait. Knowing that you already have it! Just be patient and wait to see its Materialization.

Standing the test of life can be difficult at times, but understanding that their is a reason for everything in this life helps you to endure to the end. Knowing who you are is half the battle and trusting in the higher power makes you more than a conquer. However their are times in our lives when we don't feel so victorious. I have learned that if we go by every feeling that we have, we may never succed. Look beyond emotion and develop control over self.

Today's Resolution (s)

2012-01-21T06:18:00.000-08:00

My resolutions today is to continue practicing Yoga because it has truly been rewarding for me. I lost 8 lbs, and I am feeling wonderful. Also, to treat people just the way that I expect them to treat me. That saying "what goes around comes right back around again", this is for real. So, you want to live in a way that you only expect good things to return to you.

DAILY RESOLUTIONS

2012-01-20T06:16:00.000-08:00

Everyone makes a resolution (s) at the beginning of the year. Most of the time, we don't end up keeping them. Then we feel bad about it and don't reach our goal (s). I have made many resolutions that I didn't keep, and I felt bad about it too. Nevertheless, I have learned that each day is a brand new day and another chance to accomplish my goals (s) in life. Try it again, I always tell myself. Even if that same resolution has not been completely reached yet. DON'T GIVE UP!!!! Sometimes you have to be your own best friend and give yourself a great big push.

I wake up in the morning and as I lay in my bed, I do my breathing exercises to receive energy into my body. Then I begin to pray or meditate. I focus on all the things that I want to accomplish for that day. Then I make my resolutions for that day only. This can be a great time for you to come in touch with your inner self and connect with the Divine (God). Starting the day off this way sets you in acceptance for a wonderful day and prepares you for any negative energy that might try to come your way. You will be ready to stand, and pass the challenge with peace of mind and a sound spirit.

Everyday is a new day. A day that we have never seen before. So why not make a resolution for each new day. Live for today. Make this day the best day that you can. Don't be concerned about tomorrow . Handle tomorrow when it arrives. Most of us get so wind up with whats going to happen tomorrow. Trying to take on too much is a stressful task, and it is better to deal with each day at a time.

My daily resolution is to forgive self and other, remain a peacemaker, spread love, joy and happiness.

DAILY RESOLUTION (S)

2012-01-19T11:51:00.000-08:00

My resolution for today is to let go of all past pains, hurts, disappointments and sadness that I have experienced. To Let my wounds from yesterday (the past) be healed and forgotten.

NEEDING TO BE NURTURED!

HAVE A LOT ON YOUR MIND???? OVERWHELMED WITH LIFE???? STRESSED????

2012-01-18T17:33:00.000-08:00

Lets face it, we can get stressed out at times. I am home alone and everything comes to mind. All the thoughts of how, when, where and why attack me all at once. I must admit their are times when my favorite Yoga pose and some soft music can do the trick. Not everyday is Sunday, but I learned that I have a choice to change my attitude no matter what happens. Maybe you had a bad day at work or you got another bill in the mail. Speaking of bills, that alone is enough for me to do a workout of Yoga for about an hour. Just to get it together again! We have to deal with a lot of stuff in this life children, grandchildren, husband, work, house and bills. You name it and it's on the list of things to do. That is why I am happy about my outlet. Everyone needs a way out sometimes. A way out of the stresses of life. Yoga is one of my favorite passions. It helps me keep myself stable and on top of things.

A New Vision

2011-12-30T13:13:00.000-08:00

After looking back on my life and seeing all that I have gone through. I asked the Lord why, why Lord have I gone through so much. I had a rough time just living from day to day and all of my worries were before me like the visions that I had seen. I never really got an answer from the Lord the way that I expected to receive it, but my answers came to me in the strength that I gained and the wisdom that I obtained through the years. Life is definitely a journey that we all must endure. Passing test and failing test, but learning in every way. I have to say that I have no regrets because in every challenge their was a discovery of myself. Pain came many times knocking at my door, but taking the pains of life brings a new vision of a brighter day ahead. An opportunity to grow and explore new ventures and new beginnings.

I later learned that these things come to make and shape us into that vision that God has in His mind for us to be. So, when you are going through rough times, when the pain comes and despair attacks you. Handle it with a smile knowing that you are in the vision of a new beginning.

Minding The Body, Mending The Mind

2011-12-26T11:05:00.000-08:00

The New Year is just around the corner, and before you know it, it will be the year 2012. A lot of us have been going through some stressful times and really need to make some changes. Positive change is great and we need to accept the opportunity to make that changes in our life for the better. Minding the Body, Mending the Mind by Dr. Joan Borysenko, PH.D is a great handbook that teaches you how to control your conditions.
Understanding that we have a choice in life to change our circumstances by the way we perceive what happens to us allows us to move to the next level in life's journey. Life's challenges come to help us grow and tests come to make us stronger. We can live a peaceful, happy and prosperous life if we just take the time to make the changes that we need to make. Some of us have gotten so comfortable with the way things are in our lives even though it is causing us a great amount of pain and stress. Not to mention what stress does to our health. We have to step up and make that move towards a better life.

I have been stressed out for years. I became comfortable with the way things were even though I wanted them to change. My health wasn't good. I was battling with much stress which caused me to have high blood pressure. Most of us settle for whatever life throws in our way. When I discovered that I had a chance to change my condition and circumstances, I chose to make the difference in my life. Yoga gave me the opportunity to develop my mind, body and spirit in a way that I have never experienced before. Dr. Joan Borysenko "Minding the Body, Mending the Mind" showed me ways to apply the mind-body connection into my daily life, starting with gaining control of my thoughts, meditation and yoga exercises.

Giving

2011-12-23T15:43:00.000-08:00

It is so wonderful to give. Giving to others is a great way to show that you care, and by caring for others you are actually caring for yourself. What goes around comes back around! Remember to also do something special for yourself like getting a massage or taking a trip to that wonderful place that you enjoy going to. Whatever you do, take care of yourself and make life work for you. Give a gift to yourself. Learn how to relax and meditate. Allow yourself to be free from anxiety and stress. Control your thoughts and don't let others shake your world. Remember you have the opportunity to make a difference in your life. God has given us the choice to be happy and live a productive life or be sad and live a stressful life. The choice is yours to make! Make the right decision to be happy and help those around you to smile and be happy about life. Remember that Yoga is a great way to make things happen in your life for the better.

HAVE A JOYFUL HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
