Very powerful messages are sent through words. At home, at work, all around us we constantly send messages to people as well as messages to ourselves. Our own minds receive messages that can either empower us or weakened our potential.Words are strong enough to help our body’s healing processes. We must remember that our mind is not much different than a computer, if we put positive information it, we can only get positive information out. Our daily work should be to program our computer, in this case our mind with good information. Accurate, clear, true information, will assist us in reaching better conclusions. Good quality words, are a positive approach to help us be successful, prosperous, peaceful.
We must practice this approach and we soon will see the results. For instance if we do, it does not matter what difficulties we face every day, as we focus on the positive and good things that connect us to our source of peace, we will become stronger. Think of positive statements to ingrain in our minds that we can be the person we want to be. Let us have a good plan of action to benefit ourselves and others. Practice using words such as challenge instead of problem, eager instead of anxious, when instead of if, do not say I’ll try instead say : I can/ I will do it. Use words that edify.

Your Heart’s influence in a child.
I came across some research that shows that love is more important for children than anything else in the world This subject is something to be pondered. Your heart and the child’s heart are so important. It is amazing how the heart has its own center commander. Kind of its own brain, which can send messages to the brain in the head. Very intriguing indeed is that the brain understands and obeys the heart instructions. You can see evidence of this when you observe your own behavior. Just for fun analyse how your heart influences your actions. You do have an intelligent heart, that has an effect on other individuals. It is in fact evidenced based that the health of the child depends on the love that the child experiences. It has been concluded and backed up by research that adults who felt the lack of love as children now are suffering from disease at a higher degree than those who felt loved.
What does it all mean? It simply means that children require love in order to develop, and thrive. Healthy well developed individuals can only be the result of such experience. Children need to be nourished not only with food, but also with love; this is quintessential to their physical and mental health.
There is a connection between the heart and the brain, in the mother’s womb when the fetus is developing, the heart beats, way before the brain is completely formed. A six week old fetus has a beating heart, how amazing is that!
The heart of a child must be treated kindly by the adults that take care of him or her, because the heart reaches out it influences the child, due to the heart’s electromagnetic field that envelopes one’s body. All this sounds very strange, but it is true.
2010 November Elections
This November 2010 is a very important date, you must have it in your agenda. The future of California depends on your action. I am referring to the importance of your vote. It is true, every vote counts. If you decide to sit and do nothing you are making a decision that can also tip the scales in favor or against what you would like to see in the future of your country.
Vote your conscience, personally I want to vote to decrease taxes, keep government out of our personal lives, keep government from getting bigger and bigger. I work too hard to have politicians superfluously spend my hard earned dollars.
I want to see my tax dollars at work. I pray that God will send us good leaders who are honest, strong, caring, passionate about helping edify our country. I do not believe that redistributing of wealth is a good system to follow. I know that there are those who need some help if they are born with impediments that keep them from taking care of themselves, provisions and allowances need to be made for them, however those who are able to take care of themselves, should and must take care of themselves. Parents are responsible for the care of their children and must not expect the government to provide every time there is a need. There is great satisfaction in providing for once family. The government is not your father or mother. We need real jobs to earn money so we can provide for our families. Voting is a must this November!
Tu y el Alcohol!
El alcohol es la droga mas usada y tomada en exceso. El Alcohol se considera la droga mortal por excelencia. Es asi porque afecta tu cuerpo de multiples maneras. Afecta tu cerebro causando dano irreparable. Dana tu corazon directamente. Al beber alcohol el riesgo de tener hipertension o alta presion sanguinea aumenta. Cuando esto sucede puedes tu sufrir una embolia cerebral, paralizandose asi el lado derecho o el lado izquierdo o ambos lados del cuerpo. Los pulmones tambien pueden ser afectadosc cuando al beber en exceso la circulacion del oxigeno se vuelve floja y lenta porque la respiracion es tan lenta que hasta puede cesar.
Hay otros danos que puede causar el alcohol, son viejicimos y muy conocidos como lo son la destruccion del higado y la supresion del sistema inmunologico; cuando esto ocurre te torna en persona propensa a enfermedades. La verdad es que no podemos vivir sin el higado, porque el higado tiene muchas funciones que son vitales. El higado filtra muchas de las sustancias que ingerimos, ayuda para que nuestro cuerpo se deshaga de sustancias nocivas. Tambien nos ayuda a mantener nuestro cuerpo saludable, por medio de la produccion de bilis que emlea el intestino delgado para digerir y absorber las grasas.
El detalle es que al tomar alcohol en exceso estas danando tu cuerpo, el higado que es uno de tus mejores amigos en el cuerpo, este se convierte en algo parecido a la gelatina y no puede ya servirte,el resultado es la destruccion de las celulas hepaticas o las celulas del higado. A fin de cuentas las celulas son destruidas por la malnutricion debido al alcohol o por ambas cosas.
Alimentate bien y evita el exceso.
Alcohol and you.
Alcohol is the most abused drug in the world. There is no question about this fact. Alcohol abuse is not only a problem for the young but also for the aged. Alcohol is considered the most deadly drug, because it affects the human body in many ways. It affects your brain by causing damage that could never be repaired. It affects the heart, by directly affecting the muscle. By drinking alcohol the risk of hypertension is increased, the sequel is a stroke. Your lungs are also affected, oxygen is not able to be circulated and used due to respiratory depression.
If you are interested in having children and you are a male, you must be cognizant about the fact that alcohol damages cells in the testes, or if you are simply interested in having sex, alcohol causes impotence and sterility. If you are a woman it also can affect your sex life, unpredictable menstrual cycles, ovaries malfunction. What is the saddest thing is that when a woman gets pregnant the risk of having a child with fetal alcohol syndrome is very high. Furthermore alcohol can and it does hurt the liver. As you already know the liver is responsible for filtering alcohol from your blood. Alcohol literally kills the liver, by poisoning liver cells, the sequel is cirrhosis of the liver. When drinking alcohol your body is unable to fight infection, due to weakened immune system.
A wise man wrote the Proverb stating that wine is a mocker and beer a brawler, and the one who allows to be led by them is not wise. If you are a parent, set a good example to your children, do not drink alcohol, which leads to debauchery. You and I must strive to live good, excellent, virtuous lives( Be filled with the Spirit, not by “spirits”).
Health and Life vs Disease and Death!
After reading this post, your life can not remain the same. First of all you are your own boss, when it comes to what kinds of things you eat, and drink. You are also your own boss when it comes to your body’s activity level. Life is about choices made and to be made, and progressively being made. In parenthesis once you reach the point of death, you have no more choices, it is irreversible. Today is the day you can make a difference in your own life, you might not know it but you are very important to those around you. Your choices do affect others, they can turn into a cascade of events that modify other individuals lives, for the better or for the worse.
Choosing the right foods for your body, keeps your body healthy, it can give you clarity of thought. It is nature’s way to give you your reward. Rewards are not punishments, they are considered consequences. I like the idea of a good consequence, thus a good reward.
To have good health, we must walk the walk, not just talk the talk. If we do not have good habits and we disregard the critical principles of health by overeating, drinking the wrong things, dressing inappropriately for the weather, working without a deserved rest, we can not blame God or others for our diseases and near death events.
Take time to with a critical eye, examine your actions or choices, know that good health can not be bought with money, other things in life you can not buy, and those are: true friends, time and much searched peace of mind.
What’s in your head?
Your brain! Your brain is important to you. Cultivate your brain to help your brain function better.
When riding a bicycle or a motorcycle wear a helmet.
Stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet, mindful of protein and carbohydrate balance.
Fight the ANT’s ( automatic negative thoughts).
Actively focus on the things your heart is grateful for today.
Watch a feel good movie such as Nannie McPhee.
Use your time wisely, spend time with those you want to emulate, preferably positive uplifting and productive people.
Keep your brain cool by getting enough sleep and rest. A cool brain is a good brain.
Remember that what you say to others must be in a loving, helpful manner.
Help someone else build an amazing library of wonderful experiences.
When you talk to other individuals establish eye contact and smile as appropriate. Use appropriate touch when touching others. Learning a new word or a new skill to enhance your memory is great for your brain.
What should you avoid? Avoid alcohol, smoke, too much caffeine when pregnant if you are a woman.
Avoid hitting a soccer ball with your head. Avoid banging your head against the wall. Avoid blaming other people for your problems. Something you must avoid is saying yes or no to others before finding out what they are looking for. You must know what they want first, does it fit with your goals?
Your brain is a delicate and amazing master piece of design, you must take good care of it.
Experiencing money challanges?
More ways to save money. Recently I was reading in the “Penny Saver” more ways to save money, one interesting way I found is using coupons if you are recycling bottles and cans; to add to your savings coupons have been posted for you, with the various recycling center locations where you can bring your recyclable cans, bottles and even newspapers to the recycling center when you turn in your cans and plastic bottles. Check it out. You will be able to get more money for your items.
One more way to save money in a big way is to shop around if you are in need of auto parts. Usually auto parts are more expensive if you get them from the auto dealer, because the company has so much overhead to cover. I have bought from stores like Auto Zone, they are usually pretty good at saving you money, sometimes by 60%. If you know a good mechanic who is honest and can give you a reasonable price for his or her labor, you can save a bundle of money. For instance if your car is leaking oil and you find out that you need to change the oil pan, some dealers sell the oil pan for more than 100.00 dollars, the auto-parts store sells it for less than 50%. You just have to do your homework, this way your buck will buy more, and you will be able to meet the challenge. It sure helps decrease your stress level, if you can save money!
It is very painful when you have to pay 600.00 dollars for something that can be done for 125.00 dollars.
Understanding others, why not? Part 2
When we have a glimpse of the mark differences in the workings of our brains, we can be more lenient and tolerant of other individuals behavior. We can also have more understanding and empathy as we come across people with brains that work a little bit differently.
How can we help other people with brains that are different, perhaps we need to study more about the subject, to allow us to be more sensitive as we become more informed. It is a two way street, we learn more about it and we benefit from that knowledge. When we are aware of the behaviors elicited by the people who are afflicted by the atypical brain conditions, and are able to save ourselves and others from explosive situations. One example could be our ability to discern when we are faced with someone with a particular brain condition such as dyslexia; if we are trying to help them learn reading and writing, we will not get easily frustrated, because we will be able to realize that they have difficulty learning, names, even the letters of the alphabet, difficulty reading single words that are not in context, we will be able to save time and energy understanding that they have difficulty with reading and comprehension. We will not be frustrated, but be compassionate as we make an effort to help them.
Understanding others, why not? Part One.
We are all different, due to diversity of our brains. Have you noticed that some people are lefties, other people are righties? Have you the opportunity to work with people who are diagnosed as having attention deficit and hyperactivity, alcoholics, dyslexics, people who have photographic memory, depressed people?Have you an acquaintance who has an autistic child, or who has adopted an autistic child?
The brain is one of the master pieces of creation, however when affected by foreign substances such as lead poisoning, this causes damage to the prefrontal lobes. Researchers at Pittsburgh University have discovered a link between children with lead posoning and children who have been convicted for legally delinquent behavior.Studies are underway to see if there is the same kind of correlation between lead poisoning and children diagnosed as afflicted by ADHD.
There is a misconception about the quality and quantity of our brain cells. People use to think that our brain cells had their peak when we were born. We have learn that our brain development happens after birth, well after birth. We could say that our brain is in “evolution”. After we are born the brain continues to grow and develop. The frontal cortex part of the brain according to some researchers reaches its growth completeness when the person reaches his or her mid-twenties, could even be later. So considering these facts, we can understand why we make poor judgements between the ages of 18 and 26.
