Spiritual = Emotional = Mind

Your whole well being is so important to your overall state of your 'zen'. It is important to exercising and quieting down your body and mind. But you also need to listen to your needs emotionally as well. Relationships can provide healthy exercising for your emotions. I have recently talked to several of my friends whom I have known for a long time. Once you get to a certain age, it becomes very difficult to find someone compatible. Online dating sites can provide a venue for you to meet someone. Gone are the days where you need to be introduced or go to a bar to meet someone. I actually went to a bar / lounge on a trip to SF. It really wasn't all that. You can find lots of tips at my friend's site http://www.onlinedatingranking.net. Give it a try!

Ad - Nutrisystem


I don't know why more companies won't do campaigns such as this. Real message by real people. If the company works, there will be real customers who are willing to provide reviews and comments. If you get negative reviews and feedback, do something about it like Dominos. My wife and I are in LOVE with Dominos now after they completely revamped their recipe! See the below video by Nutrisystem. Makes me wanna give it a try!

Falling in and out of illness

What signs do you look for when you are about to get sick? For me, its a sore throat. I know I'm about to catch the bug when I had one too many sugary drink. I usually start with coffee in the morning but at times I may get carried away with 2-3 more drinks for lunch. Yeah, I know.. not good. when this happens, I immediately go into recovery mode.

-Hydrate self with tepid water hot tea. No iced drinks
-Gargle salt water every other hour
-Avoid processes, oily, fast food
-Pack self with vitamin rich food such as vegetables, poultry, fish
-Get lots of sleep, at least 8 hours

Typically if I stick to this routine, I get better by day 3.

What is your routine? How does your body respond to illness?

Study: Acupuncture May Change the Way the Brain Perceives Pain

Study: Acupuncture May Change the Way the Brain Perceives Pain

How does your body answer to acupuncture? I had several experiences with acupuncture and for the most part, I am a believer in eastern medicine. The first time I visited an acupuncturist, I went in to have the Dr. checked out my jammed toe and my knee. My toe I jammed while attempting a backflip in high school roughly 7 years ago from that time. I had limited movement and I experienced limited sensation. My knee was also from an injury sustained from a soccer game when I was a high school senior.

The experience was definitely one for the books. I walked in and realized the acupuncturist spoke of no English and I spoke of extremely limited Mandarin. Somehow through motion and my Academy Award worthy expression of "Ow!", he comprehend what the issue was. He began working the lights and the needed. The initial poke was nothing spectacular. I have had needles pricked at me before. It was when he reached my nerves did I know he was on to something. It is a feeling you never had before, an area in your body where you have never felt anything prior. Soon there were roughly 20+ needles in the surrounding areas of my left knee and my toe.

About 3-4 sessions later across a month, my toe completely healed. I have my full range and sensation back. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I was sold. However, my knee was not so lucky. I concluded that your mileage may vary with acupuncture. However, if you have pain areas and did not have any success with traditional medicine, I would give acupuncture a shot.
