Your Health is Your Wealth!

"Your Health is Your Wealth"! What does this mean? Well, when our health is at its best, our performance at work or when conducting business with clients are at its peak. People take sick days off, when they're not feeling their best, thus there is no productivity for the day(s) of absence.

This goes to say that we should be more health conscious: eating foods (raw vegetables and fruits) that provide our body with the proper nutrients to give us the energy to perform at an optimum level. Water is essential. Drinking at least 8 8oz. glasses of alkaline water daily helps keep the proper flow of the organs and systems in the body. Exercising at least 4 days per week is of utmost importance to our health.

If we balance nutrition, water and exercise in our life, we will have more energy for work, our creativity will be heighten and thinking will be sharp. We will be able to finish projects in less time and quality time with our family will increase. Also, stressful situations will seem easier to handle. Yes, your Health is Your Wealth!

Eat Til Your Heart Is Content!

Healthy eating involves eating 5 to 6 small meals daily. It's eating just like babies, every 3 hours on an average. When you eat in this manner, you will find yourself ready to eat when the time comes again. Why? You haven't overeaten and the body is able to properly digest what you ate previously in a timely manner, thus ready for more within the next 3 hours. Your heart is content because it's not being overworked in conjunction with other organs and systems of the body.

If you're not used to this, begin by shrinking your plate to a smaller size. This way only smaller portions will fit. Take your large plate meal and split it into two meals. Start early in the morning with a fruit, fruit salad or fruit smoothie protein drink. Make sure you drink at least 8 glasses of alkaline water between meals, not with meals. This will help decrease your appetite to overeat.

Eating in this manner will not only make your heart content, but your wallet. You will save money on groceries.

Don't Be A "Doormat"!

Love yourself enough to say "NO" and be at peace. Just because people see you in the light of standing on morals, values and honoring family and friends doesn't mean you are to take anything that comes your way. That is so far from the truth. Some people in your life must be tested to see if they deserve your friendship, time, help etc. and those "weeds", the people that are only in your life to take and drain you, are those that must be cut off for good.

Well, my short story is of someone who I befriended and throughout the year I would give and give and give, but he never seemed to be a benefit to my life at all. When I began to notice this pattern, I would ask for help at times, just for little things, but he never came through for me. There was always an excuse.

My final straw was when he called me recently and left an urgent message to call him. So, I did in a haste to find out that he wanted to borrow money from me because he was in a financial dilemma, again! I thought to myself, he didn't pay me back the last time. And of course, at this point, I made up my mind to dismiss him completely from my life.

Living holistically is having people in your life that you can build a sound relationship with knowing that you will be there for each other no matter what happens. It's not a one way street. It's about giving and receiving. You don't have to be a "doormat"!

Do It Just Because and watch.......

Do it just because you want to. You may ask, "Do what?" Whatever you can to help make life easier for someone else. Trust me, life for you will began to be more fulfilling, especially when you are in need. Why? Someone will be sent your way to help you. It the law of reciprocity..and yes, it works. Read one of my experiences below.

In NJ we were faced with our second snow "storm". Well I wouldn't call this one a storm compared to the first one where I had to shovel four times and only once this time. I began about 5am this morning. Finished early. Came in and made breakfast. As I sat and looked at the time, it was 8am, so I was going began work from home, but something within stopped me. I was persuaded to check out my Pastor's house because last time, the people he hired didn't reach him til late and he has a family.

So I went over there, and my work 'REALLY" began because he has a corner house. I made my way around the coner to do the side of the house and it was double the amount of snow because the snow plow had already passed by dumping street snow on the side walk. Well as I was approaching the back gate I stopped, took a deep breath and looked up. When I looked back down, their was a man standing at the other end shoveling. He said, "I'll meet you. Not even 2 minutes later he told me to stop that help was on the way. Another man came with his snow blower and finished so I could get into the backyard.

As I was in the back yard, I heard more voices. A pleasant soft voice said, "Good morning." An older woman and her daughter finished shoveling the driveway to make it clear for the cars to come in and out. I wanted to do something for her. She said, "No, just have a blessed day." I was so overwhelmed.

My point is, I did this deed just because and watched how angels were sent to help me. Their help saved me about 1 1/2 hrs. of work..I am grateful.

Do something wonderful for someone....DO IT JUST BECAUSE AND WATCH.....

Rest from Holiday Feast!

During the holidays, people tend to overeat or eat certain foods they don't eat on the norm. It's more junk food, sweets, extra meat, more cheese, etc. These same people either get stuck in a habit of having more of these foods, or experience ailments due to "feasting/pigging out".

Your body must eliminate the build up of what you put in your mouth that doesn't benefit. All you have to do is eliminate that food from your "diet" for 21 days and the desire to have it will diminish. In your process of eliminating, add something healthy along with an increase of alkaline water daily.

Don't go overboard, just start with one at a time. You will notice your energy began to increase as the bad habit or ailment began to decrease.
