Good Morning!
Starting Anew and Recharging the Battery
Ten Tips To A Fresh Start
1. Mental Cleanse - The Power of Positive Thinking! Negativity is the root that
undermines our happiness. The negative ideas we think can manifest in the words
we speak. The minute the words leave your lips, is the minute they manifest.
Change your thoughts to positive, uplifting ones. Think hope not hopelessness.
Think goodness, not evil. Think joy not despair. Energy follows thought. Program
thought to be positive and your energy will reflect it!
2. Incorporate Positive Words - Affirmations, are a positive word, expression or
term to guide us and give us reassurance. "Today is a new day", "nothing will
deter my good thoughts and intentions, today", "I am full of joy". These are all
great affirmations to live by.
3. Appreciate Life - Really appreciating what we DO have as opposed to what we
would like to have, makes a significant difference. This is always an important
element in creating change in a person that is often feeling low.
4. Organ Cleanse - The liver is our master cleansing organ and the gall bladder
is its mate. Enjoy a tall glass of water with a 1/2 lemon squeezed into it. The
kidneys are our major filter and the bladder is its friend. Boil 4 cups of water
and a handful of corn silk. Drink this tea for amazing results. The lungs are
our attachment to the breath of life and the large intestines is its buddy.
Incorporate deep breathing and exercise (see below) along with a tall glass of
psyillium husk to get things moving. The stomach is the center of our 'gut
feelings' our immune system center and the spleen is its associate. Eat the
cleanest, purest foods, that are the least processed. Enjoy health probiotics
found in yogurt and acidophilus. Avoid greasy, fried foods. Your spleen will
thank you.
5. Exercise - not with a specific goal in mind. Just sweat. This is one of the
best detoxing moves you can make. Exercise is what your body instinctively wants
to do especially under stress: fight or flight, and it works. It burns off some
of the stress chemicals which tension produces. Therefore, a tired muscle is a
relaxed muscle. Regular exercise builds stamina that can help anyone battle
stress. But even something as casual as a walk around the block can help you
burn off some of the tension that you carrying around.
6. Take Deep Breaths - Sit up, with your back straight in any position. Place
your tongue against the ridge of tissue just behind your upper front teeth and
keep it there throughout the exercise. Exhale completely through your mouth.
Close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose to a mental count of four.
Hold your breath for a count of seven. Exhale completely through your mouth, to
a count of eight. Repeat this cycle three more times for a total of four
breaths. Try to do this breathing exercise at least twice a day. You can repeat
the whole sequence as often as you wish, but don't do it more than four breaths
at one time for the first month of practice. This exercise is fairly intense and
has a profound effect on the nervous system.
7. Spirit Cleanse - Our spiritual side is often the least worked on and the
least understood. To recognize a power that is greater than our own is to
recognize our Spirituality. We understand the mind/body relationship to be
inspired by alignment with one's Highest Spiritual Principle and by that
awareness we can choose Truth. Surrendering to our higher powers so that your
Spirit can orchestrate the infinite correlation of details that are necessary
for the manifestation of your desires. (1.) These are the benefits you'll
receive when you surrender to a higher power.
8. Meditation - There are many meditation methods. Some are passive -- such as
observing the breath. Others are active -- in the sense that you actually do
something like repeating a word or mantra. The meditations that you will find
here will help you develop on many levels. No matter what style or form you
follow, meditation should always be gentle. Do not force anything. Allow your
efforts to flow naturally and effortlessly.
9. Music - is a magical medium and a very powerful tool. Music can delight all
the senses and inspire every fiber of our being. Music has the power to soothe
and relax, bring us comfort and embracing joy! Music subtly bypasses the
intellectual stimulus in the brain and moves directly to our subconscious. There
is music for every mood and for every occasion. Make a collection of your
favorites, now!
10. Wander - Take a trip. Walk around the block, through your neighborhood or
through a park. Head to the sea, the hills or a mountain trail. There is a
concept (and herbal formula) in Chinese culture referred to as the Free and Easy
Wanderer. Walking or simply wandering often allows us to clear our head and free
our minds. This allows for the free flow of movement, vital energy or Qi and is
extremely therapeutic.
