<b>The human heart emits the strongest electromagnetic field
in our body. This electromagnetic field envelops the entire body extending out
in all directions, and it can be measured up to several feet outside of the
body. Research from the Institute of Heart Math shows that this emotional
information is encoded in this energetic field. Heart Math researchers have
also seen that as we consciously focus on feeling a positive emotion - such as
care, appreciation, compassion or love - it has a beneficial effect on our own
health and well-being, and can have a positive effect on those around us.<o:p></o:p></b></div>

seep in through the parts of the mask, and they aren’t necessarily foolproof.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Then, there are respirators, commonly used by
construction workers, but also used by doctors seeing patients who potentially
have COVID-19. They’re heavy-duty and are form-fitted to the face. According to
the CDC, these masks filter out about 95% of airborne particles, including
viruses and bacteria.<o:p></o:p></b></div>

perfection comes, the things that are not perfect will end. When I was a child,
I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I
became a man, I stopped those childish ways. It is the same with us. Now we see
a dim reflection, as if we were looking into a mirror, but then we shall see
clearly face to face. Now I know only a part, but then I will know fully, as
God has known me, I am fully known. So, these three things continue forever:
faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love.<o:p></o:p></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>For most of your life, your immune system successfully
fought cancerous cells, killing them as they developed. That's its job. In
fact, the only job Natural Killer cells have is to kill cancer cells and
viruses. For cancer to develop, your immune system must either be worn out,
ineffective, unable to kill cancer cells as fast as they normally develop, or
you must be exposed to a mass of cancer causing toxins, radiation or some such
thing, that increase the rate of development of cancer cells to an abnormally
high level that your immune system can't handle.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Either way, it is vital to strengthen the immune system
in your battle against cancer. Especially if you are getting medical treatments
that wipe out your immune system.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Many natural supplements support the immune system. This
is why so many of them are touted as being able to help you beat cancer. If
someone has an immune system that is almost able to handle the cancer, even a
poor immune system supplement can be enough to improve the immune system to the
extent that it beats cancer.<o:p></o:p></b></div>

<b>THE ROOT OUR ENVIRONMENT<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before we can
begin, we first need to know the meaning of the word root. It’s the base,
foundation, basic part, basic element of anything. We all know this as a part
of the body of a plant that develops, typically, from the radicle and grows
downward into the soil, anchoring the plant and absorbing nutrients and
moisture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To a human, it is our immune
system. The immune system is a system of many biological structures and
processes within an organism that protects against disease.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>We all come to the understanding that one is born into
this world and also know that we leave this world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, the key to all of this is the
quality of life one enjoys during the time on earth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The big picture to all of this is how we play
this with our environment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our immune
system detects how we exercise the activity of our everyday life’s.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>It’s the environment that kills us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pollution, the food (chemicals, GMO’s
processing), water we drink, stress, lack of exercise, which can affect our
DNA. What is our DNA? The nucleic acid that is the genetic material determining
the makeup of all living cells and many viruses.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>So, it is our choice to create around us an environment
that is a safe lifestyle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You need to
create an area of less pollution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
need to eat organic foods which do not have GMO’s and chemicals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You need to test the water you drink. You
need to practice mediation and be around nature with plenty of sunshine for
vitamin D. You need to walk, dance, or be involved in the community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of the above’s you need to do, will keep
your immune system healthy, which will give you a better quality of life.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>In my writings later, I will explain how important

<b>Last night was fun, brought back memories of
Mexico, as we were there on Zoom. On Tuesdays and Thursdays when we lived in Mexico,
it was a routine for us to walk down to the Malecon {walk way along the Chapala
Lake in Ajijic} to a friend’s house and do Yoga twice with Teyari the
instructor. Dan and I felt like we were still
in our friend’s garden with the birds chirping and the flowers blooming. I would like to thank Maureen and Teyari for a
very peaceful evening and friendship.</b><br />

Yoga is something that made both of us feel good. Derived from the Sanskrit
word “yuji,” meaning yoke or union, yoga is an ancient practice that brings
together mind and body. It incorporates breathing exercises, meditation and

<b>Yoga is known for its
ability to ease stress and promote relaxation. In fact, multiple studies have
shown that it can decrease the secretion of cortisol, the primary stress
hormone. Many people begin practicing yoga as a way to cope with feelings of
anxiety. Interestingly enough, there is quite a bit of research showing that
yoga can help reduce anxiety. In addition to improving your mental health, some
studies suggest that practicing yoga may reduce inflammation as well. Inflammation
is a normal immune response, but chronic inflammation can contribute to the
development of pro-inflammatory diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and
cancer. From pumping blood throughout the body to supplying tissues with
important nutrients, the health of your heart is an essential component of
overall health. Studies show that yoga may help improve heart health and reduce
several risk factors for heart disease. </b></div>

<b>Yoga is becoming increasingly common as
an adjunct therapy to improve quality of life for many individuals. Some
studies show that yoga may have an anti-depressant effect and could help
decrease symptoms of depression. This may be because yoga is able to decrease
levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that influences levels of serotonin, the
neurotransmitter often associated with depression. Chronic pain is a persistent
problem that affects millions of people and has a range of possible causes,
from injuries to arthritis. There is a growing body of research demonstrating
that practicing yoga could help reduce many types of chronic pain. Poor sleep
quality has been associated with obesity, high blood pressure and depression,
among other disorders. Studies show that incorporating yoga into your routine
could help.</b> <b>Many people add yoga to their fitness routine to improve
flexibility and balance.</b></div>

<b>How does the corona virus spread? </b><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><b>When an infected person coughs or sneezes,
they release droplets of saliva or mucus. These droplets can fall on people in
the vicinity and can be either directly inhaled or picked up on the hands then
transferred when someone touches their face, causing infection. For flu, some
hospital guidelines define exposure as being within six feet of an infected
person who sneezes or coughs for 10 minutes or longer. Viruses can also be
spread through droplets landing on surfaces such as seats on buses or trains or
desks in school. However, whether this is a main transmission route depends on
how long viruses survive on surfaces – this can vary from hours to months.<o:p></o:p></b></div>

<b>I’m taking a break from blogging about the corona virus
and turn to the subject of brain washed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is so easy these days to watch TV and listen to one news channel or
go to the computer and on to the first site of the subject.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most of us look at the first thing they see
and believe what they hear and see.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
is so confident these days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I remember
that in the early years there were no agendas and news was how it was. There is
a piece I wrote awhile ago regarding to this brain washing, which I thought
would be available in these times of uncertainty, with all that is going on
with President Trump and the corona virus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<b>There are two sides to every quarter and at any game they

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>There are six Brainwashing Techniques They're Using on
You Right Now ~which ones are you following:<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Chanting
Slogans, every cult leader, drill sergeant, self-help guru and politician know
that if you want to quiet all of those pesky doubting thoughts in a crowd, get
them to chant a repetitive phrase or slogan. Those are referred to as
thought-stopping techniques, because for better or worse, they do exactly that.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Slipping
Bullshit into Your Subconscious, the rise of the internet news portal has given
birth to a whole new, sly technique of bullshit insertion. What They (and from
here on, "They" with a capital T means anyone who draws a paycheck
for manipulating your opinion) have figured out is that most of you don't read
the stories, you just browse the headlines. And there's a way to exploit that,
based on how the brain stores memories.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>3.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Controlling
on what you watch and read. Restriction of reading and/or viewing material is
common to pretty much every cult. Here on the internet, we've all heard horror
stories about Scientology, which goes as far as filtering members' internet
access. Obviously, the idea is to insulate the members from any opposing points
of view, to keep them marching in line.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>That technique works just as well outside of the cult
world, but they have to be subtler about it. It just takes a little poison in
the well, that's all.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>4.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Keeping You
in Line with Shame, Professionals have more sophisticated methods, but it boils
down to the same technique. "They" know that if they can paint an
idea as ridiculous, the listener usually won't bother examining it any closer
to find out if the ridicule is justified.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>After all, why even consider something that's ridiculous?
That's only something a ridiculous person would do! And you're not ridiculous
... are you?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>5.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Black and
White Choices. Never anything in between. Everyone is a friend or enemy, every
band either rules or sucks, black and white, nothing in the middle. They
(capital T) love this, because They can convince you that you must choose
either their way, or the most utterly retarded option on the opposite extreme.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Why It Works: Because we evolved from creatures who were
always in danger of being eaten, our brains were built on a very simple
foundation: the "fight or flight" mechanism. This lets us make
lightning-fast decisions by boiling every situation into two options. Anyone
who preferred to stop and mull over the subtleties of the scenario wound up in
the digestive system of a saber-tooth tiger.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>6.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"Us
vs. Them", They have figured out that the same technique that works so
well for getting people whipped into a murderous apocalyptic frenzy, can be
used to sell you cars, hamburgers, or computers. Why It Works: Basically, we're
hard-wired by evolution to form tribes. The more stress we feel, the more we
feel love and attachment to those who look and sound the same as us, and the
more we feel hatred to those who don't. It's just an old survival mechanism,
since the ancient guys who didn't show that kind of blind loyalty were killed
off by the fierce tribes formed by the ones who did.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>So today which technique have you followed.</b><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><b>Keep in mind that you are not the only one
that is brainwashed.</b><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><b>This can change the
outcome of anything.</b><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><b>All I am saying is
take a really good look at where your hard-earned money is going to and who you
wish to represent you if something major were to happen.</b><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><b>Like my husband Dan told me the other day we
are all in a world of shit.</b><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><b>No matter
who wins the election our country needs a lot of repairing. Also, it seems not
to matter on how much money is donated to the breast cancer organizations. It’s
about education and prevention. <o:p></o:p></b></div>

extracts can act as immunomodulators that appear to reduce inflammation and regulate
the cytokine response. On the other hand, beta glucans, lentinan, and other

to 1 December 2019 in Wuhan; one unconfirmed report suggests the earliest
case was on 17 November. Doctor Zhang Jixian observed a cluster of
pneumonia cases of unknown cause on 26 December, upon which her hospital
informed Wuhan Jianghan CDC on 27 December. Initial genetic testing
of patient samples on 27 December 2019 indicated the presence of a SARS-like corona virus. A public notice was released by Wuhan Municipal Health Commission

notifications occurred, doctors in Wuhan were warned by police for

I have lots of vegetables delivered this week from Misfits to make something
around vegetables. </b><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><b>Dan has been

<b>WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAPPY PEOPLE AND UNHAPPY
PEOPLE?<o:p></o:p></b></div>

<b>Being happy is good for heart health and for these days
of uncertainty.<o:p></o:p></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>What is the difference between happy people and unhappy
people? Of course, it may be very obvious, happy people are happy while unhappy
people are unhappy, right? Well, that is correct, but we want to know what are
the things that these people do differently and that is why, I have put
together a list of things that HAPPY people do differently than UNHAPPY people.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>1. LOVE vs. FEAR. Well, I can tell you for sure that
those people who are really happy, FEAR less and LOVE a lot more. They see each
moment, each challenge, each person as an opportunity to discover more about
themselves and the world around them.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>2. ACCEPTANCE vs. RESISTANCE. Happy people understand
that you can’t really change a situation by resisting it, but you can
definitely change it by accepting that it is there and by understanding that
there might be a reason for its existence. When something unpleasant happens to
them, they don’t try to fight it, knowing that this will make the situation
even worse, but rather, they ask themselves questions like: What can I learn
from this? How can I make this better? and they go from there, focusing on the
positive rather than on the negative. They always seem to see the glass half
full no matter what happens to them.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>3. FORGIVENESS vs. UNFORGIVENESS. Really happy people
know that it’s not healthy to hold on to anger. They choose to FORGIVE and
FORGET, understanding that FORGIVENESS is a gift they give to themselves first
and foremost.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the
intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. “Buddha<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>4. TRUST vs. DOUBT. They trust themselves and they trust
the people around them. No matter if they talk to the cleaning lady or the
C.E.O. of a multi billion company, somehow, they always seem make the person
they are interacting with feel like there is something unique and special about
them.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>They understand that beliefs become self-fulfilling
prophecies, and because of that, they make sure to treat everybody with love,
dignity and respect, making no distinctions between age, sex, social status,
color, religion or race. These are the great men that Mark Twain was talking
about: “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people
always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become
great.” Mark Twain<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>5. MEANING vs. AMBITION. They do the things they do
because of the meaning it brings into their lives and because they get a sense
of purpose by doing so. They understand that “Doing what you love is the
cornerstone of having abundance in your life” like Wayne Dyer puts it, and they
care more about living a life full of meaning rather than, what in our modern
society we would call, living a successful life.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The irony here is that most of the time they get both,
success and meaning, just because they choose to focus on doing the things,
they love the most and they always pursue their heart desires. They are not
motivated by money; they want to make a difference in the lives of those around
them and in the world.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>6. PRAISING vs. CRITICIZING. Happy people would probably
agree with Carl’s Jung theory on resistance: “What you resist not only
persists, but will grow in size”. They don’t criticize the absence of the
behavior they want to reinforce, but rather, every time the behavior is
present, even if it’s not that often, they know that by praising the person and
the behavior, they will actually reinforce the positive behavior.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>When a parent wants to make sure that his 7 years old boy
will learn to always put the toys back in the box after he’s done playing with
them, he will make sure not to focus on the many times the child won’t do it,
criticizing him and his behavior, but rather, every time the little boy does
put the toys back, the parent will praise him and his behavior and that is
exactly how he will reinforce the positive behavior, and in the end getting the
wanted results.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>7. CHALLENGES vs. PROBLEMS. Happy people will see
PROBLEMS as CHALLENGES, as opportunities to explore new ways of doing things,
expressing their gratitude for them, understanding that underneath them all
lies many opportunities that will allow them to expand and to grow.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>8. SELFLESSNESS vs. SELFISHNESS. They do what they do not
for themselves, but for the good of others, making sure that they bring
meaning, empowerment and happiness in the lives of many. They look for ways to
give and to share the best of themselves with the world and to make other
people happy.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>” Before giving, the mind of the giver is happy; while
giving, the mind of the giver is made peaceful; and having given, the mind of
the giver is uplifted. “Buddha<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>9. ABUNDANCE vs. LACK/POVERTY. They have an abundant
mindset living a balanced life, achieving abundance in all areas of life.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>10. DREAMING BIG vs. BEING REALISTIC. These people don’t
really care about being realistic. They love and dare to dream big; they always
listen to their heart and intuition and the greatness of their accomplishment’s
scares many of us.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the
hearts of men.” Goethe<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>11. KINDNESS vs. CRUELTY. They are kind to themselves and
others and they understand the power of self-love, self-forgiveness and self-acceptance.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>12. GRATITUDE vs. INGRATITUDE. No matter where they look,
no matter where they are or with who, they have this capacity of seeing beauty
where most of us would only see ugliness, opportunities, where most of us would
only see struggles, abundance where most of us would only see lack and they
express their gratitude<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>for them all.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>13. PRESENCE/ ENGAGEMENT vs. DISENGAGEMENT. They know how
to live in the present moment, appreciating what they have and where they are,
while still having big dreams about the future.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“When you are present, you can allow the mind to be as it
is without getting entangled in it. The mind in itself is a wonderful tool.
Dysfunction sets in when you seek yourself in it and mistake it for who you
are.” Eckhart Tolle<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>14. POSITIVITY vs. NEGATIVITY. No matter what happens to
them, they always seem to keep a positive perspective on everything and by
doing so, they tend irritate a lot of negative and “realistic” people.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>15. TAKING RESPONSIBILITY vs. BLAMING. They take full
ownership over their lives and they rarely use excuses. Happy people understand
that the moment you choose to blame some outside forces for whatever it is that
happens to you, you are in fact giving all your power away, and they choose to
keep the power for themselves and taking responsibility for everything that
happens to them.<o:p></o:p></b></div>

<b>I have been through a lot and have suffered a great deal.
But I have had lots of... happy moments, as well. Every moment one lives is
different from the other. The good, the bad, hardship, the joy, the tragedy,

that is called life. You cannot separate the good from the bad. And perhaps
there is no need to do so, either.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

miles.</span></b><br />

of Christian rituals and native Indian traditions. In the days of imperialism,
the Christian missionaries as a part of their effort to convert non- Christian
Indians to Christianity, allowed indigenous people to blend their customs with
Easter rites, and many of these customs appear in passion plays. But in the
face of a cultural onslaught from American media vehicles, many of Mexico's
age-old traditions are falling out of favor in large cities such as

<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Easter in Mexico is a little different
from the rest of the world. In Mexico, it is a combination of Semana Santa
(Holy Week - Palm Sunday to Easter Saturday) and Pascua (Resurrection Sunday
until the following Saturday). On Palm Sunday people use elaborately woven
palms. Weavers ply their craft outside churches, and worshipers follow the
priest into church with the woven fronds. Later, those palms are traditionally
hung on the doors of Mexican homes to ward off evil.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

stage Passion Plays depicting Biblical events such as the Last Supper, the
Betrayal, and the Procession of the 12 Stations of the Cross, the Crucifixion
and the Resurrection. The enactments are often spectacularly staged, costumed
and acted, with volunteers preparing for their roles for nearly the full year
leading up to Semana Santa. In many communities, flagellation along with real
crucifixion is included. The performances are often wondrously dramatic,
costumed and enacted, with contestants planning for their roles for about a
year leading up to Semana Santa.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The most spectacular of Easter traditions
in Mexico is the burning of a Judas effigy filled with firecrackers. This
custom, which takes place Holy Saturday, was outlawed in Guadalajara in the 1960s
when several people died from a massive explosion, but it still continues in
rural areas. Judas effigy is now a popular way to express anguish over some
contemporary person, frequently an unpopular politician. So, every year it
becomes interesting to see who gets burnt in effigy this seasons’ ‘Sábado de
Gloria’.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Robyn Griggs Lawrence - When I was a kid,
in the chemical-intensive 1960s and 1970s, we thought nothing of using
artificial food coloring and those little dye tablets to give our Easter eggs
festive hues. Back then, we didn’t know that chemical dyes could cause ADHD,
harm development, ignite hyperactivity, compromise immune systems and cause
sterility. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention even found links
between food coloring and asthma, allergic reactions and lead poisoning,
Brianne DiSylvester reports in Organic Authority. I’m not taking the risk,
especially when dying eggs with herbs and food is so much more fun.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

human beings have evolved in nature for millions of years, not even changing
their surroundings with agriculture until 10,000 years ago. In many parts of
the world, homes are still made from locally obtained materials like wood, palm
or grass thatch, mud, and even cow dung. Travel within villages occurs on
trails, not roads, and peasant farmers forage foods, herbs and building
materials from wild vegetation near their homes. At night, the stars shine

Theory, was outlined by Stephen Kaplan, in the 1980s and '90s but it actually
dates back to a theory proposed in 1892.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Over a century ago, psychologist William
James then proposed the idea of “voluntary attention.” Kaplan describes it as
“the kind of attention that went ‘against the grain’… It was to be employed
when something did not of itself attract attention, but when it was important
to attend nonetheless.” Studying for finals or reading a software instruction
manual fall into this category.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Kaplan, a psychologist at University of
Michigan, takes this theory further by combining it with another 19th-century
theory, namely that one can become fatigued from expending too much of this
voluntary attention, also known as directed attention. A student who announces,
“My brain is fried” after a weekend of studying is expressing this kind of
fatigue.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">One way to deal with directed attention
fatigue is sleep, but sleep alone is not enough. Aside from sleep, one requires
“restorative experiences”—and that is what nature provides. Kaplan outlines
many components to this, such as the sensation of “getting away,” an effortless
fascination with one’s surroundings, and what he calls a sense of “extent,” a
sense of being connected to a larger world.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">7 Traits of Friendship That Affirm a
Conscientious Life<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">1. Friends who are empathetic. Being
empathetic is the ability to actively try and take yourself out of your own
shoes and put yourself in someone else’s. Too often we listen to a friend’s
struggle and immediately make it about ourselves by adding our own experiences.
Sometimes, the greatest thing friends can do is just actively listen to each
other.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">2. Friends who are selfless. Our friends
who are the most happy and positive are the ones who are grounded, who care,
and who do not always think about themselves. They are able to understand their
own life experience but are not consumed by their own problems. Instead, they
take action to help solve the problems of others.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">3. Friends who are trustworthy. Being
trustworthy is a trait that is essential for understanding that the deepest
relationships are the ones in which we can confide in each other. Trustworthy
friends remind you that you are not alone and empower you to be a better
person.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">4. Friends with shared interests. Whether
this pertains to hobbies, sports, goals, education, values, or religion, we
often prefer spending time with people who enjoy the same things as we do. This
allows for immediate connection and ultimately strengthens our relationships.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">5. Friends with different perspectives and
backgrounds. The time you can truly grow as a human being, both professionally
and personally, is when you have the opportunity to listen to people who are
different from you. Sometimes, you remain in a fixed mindset when you hang
around people who just agree with you or who do the same things as you. Friends
who offer new perspectives, ideas, experiences, and advice can help you learn
more about yourself and will help you grow as a more well-rounded human being.
Friends of diverse backgrounds have the ability to transform a fixed mindset
into a growth mindset.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">6. Friends who are humorous. The best
friends are simply the ones who know how to make you laugh and who are full of
life and spirit. They are the ones who bring you joy, hope, and comfort even in
the midst of life’s most difficult situations.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">7. Friends who are team players. A trait
we learned as children but one in which we often forget. Being a team player
and putting the needs of others before ourselves for a shared goal is what
friendship is all about.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Contacting friends should not be a burden

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Whether it is calling a friend on your way home
from work, setting aside one evening a month to get together, or designating at
least once a year to reconnect, even these small changes can have a profound
influence on your overall mood and well-being. Friends help you to maintain and
strengthen healthy relationships as you balance those with your co-workers and
family members who may demand a lot from you.</span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">So, put down your phones in the presence
of your friends and sign out of your social networks. Surrounding yourself with
friends who embody these traits will allow you to step away from the mobile
social notifications of life and find solace in each other to create meaning in
the precious time you have together.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The more we are invested in our
relationships, the less we become single-minded and forget about the things
that actually matter. Find friends that affirm a conscientious life; who uplift
your soul, who are full of life, and who are excited about your new ideas and
want to see you through.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

that there is a looming problem that has not been dealt with.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

[reinforce] the fact that the little things in life matter. If you can’t do the
little things right, you’ll never be able to do the big things right.” – U.S.
Navy Admiral William H. McCraven<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">For reasons that vary from the cultivation

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">There are also plenty of reasons (or
excuses) why someone doesn’t make their bed. First, most people simply don’t
care or notice – it’s a bed – what’s the big deal? With all the rushing around
and things to do, making the bed is a “time waster” for many people.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">No dispute from this end that making your
bed is mundane – it is – but this is one reason to do it. Think about your
typical day: how many trivial, “unimportant” things require your attention
anyways? You must do these things – at work, at home, or elsewhere – whether
you want to or not.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

YOU START THE DAY RIGHT<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As Admiral McCraven said to the graduating
class at the University of Texas, making your bed instills a sense of
accomplishment. You walk out of the room knowing that you’ve achieved
something. You’ll feel more inclined to complete another task, then another. At
the end of the day, you’ll have done more, (perhaps) spearheaded from the
simple act of making your bed.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">If you approach making your bed with the
mindset of “How I do anything is how I do everything,” you’ll gain a growing
sense of pride, self-confidence, and motivation. Further, you’ll leave the
house feeling a sense of control and personal responsibility – an asset you can
take with you throughout the day.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">2. IT CULTIVATES MENTAL DISCIPLINE<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Mental discipline, also known as
self-discipline, is developed by overcoming mental and physical resistance.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">When you roll out of bed on a Monday
morning, sometimes the last thing you aspire to do is make your bed. This
dreaded feeling is understandable, but it’s also a terrific opportunity to
discipline yourself.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">We tend to associate any form of
“self-discipline” as harsh and restraining, but it needn’t be. Although your brain
and body may resist your efforts, you can engage your mind at-will and gently
bring its attention back under control. You employ your mind this way by
focusing intently on one thing, and one thing only: the task at-hand.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">One tenet of mindfulness is witnessing
your thoughts without criticism or judgement. This very principle can be
applied to all of our efforts. Any mundane task: washing the dishes, cleaning
the floor, and yes, making the bed – are all excellent times to practice
mindfulness.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As we implement mindfulness into every
small or large task, we establish a mental and physical “connection.” This
mindset dissipates much of the resistance and angst attempting to creep in as
we intently focus on the task at hand. As our mindful “muscle” grows, we’ll
find making the bed – and many other duties – less “painful” and more
rewarding!<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Social media refers to websites and
applications that are designed to allow people to share content quickly,
efficiently, and in real-time. Many people define social media as apps on their
smartphone or tablet, but the truth is, this communication tool started with
computers. This misconception stems from the fact that most social media users
access their tools via apps. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Another thing to consider is that the most
commonly-shared content on social media is an image. So, always include an
image with your posts. This will dramatically increase your chances that one of
your followers will share the post with their network. While building up a
large network of followers is great, ultimately what you want is to have your
followers—no matter how many you have—share what you're posting with their
network, and those people will share your post with their followers, and so on.
This is the new form of "word of mouth" and it is what people mean
when they say a post went "viral."<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
