Breezing Through The Holidays with a Positive Mental Attitude
ho ho how a positive mental attitude can affect your health
and holiday

Nothing else contributes as much to one's sense of well being and health as a positive mental attitude especially during the holidays. A Positive Mental Attitude (PMA) can make a crucial difference to our lives. The difference between brooding over our problems and moving ahead; between living in the shadows and claiming a place in the sun, between wallowing in self-pity and helping others overcome.

In the sphere of health, nothing can contribute as much to a sense of well-being as a positive mental attitude. "I feel healthy, I feel happy, I feel terrific," is one of the slogans advocated by Napoleon Hill and W. Clement Stone in their influential best-seller Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude. They recommend one to develop the PMA philosophy. "Prepare for any possible emergency. Always have something to live for. Never abandon hope", are some of the principles.

"He has lost the will to fight, to live" is a statement one hears often. Sometimes, doctors are baffled. While one patient succumbs easily to a particular disease, another makes a miraculous recovery. The miracle is often effected through PMA. While Negative Mental Attitude (NMA) spells defeat and failure, PMA represents life and achievement. It is the wonder drug that enables the severely disabled to participate in the Olympics, travel across the world and climb the Everest. Here is to your Positive Mental Attitude in the coming New Year... because Attitude Determines Altitude.

YOUR MIND

Risk Not Want Not
Max Steingart

If you don't take some risks, you won't get the chance to succeed. While you are trying, you are winning.

The law of averages is on your side. The more you try, the greater your chance of succeeding. Never get discouraged.

Every wrong attempt is another step forward. People that make no mistakes usually don't make anything.

Make up your mind not merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand defeats.

Your mistakes are stepping stones to success and Your installment payments to victory.

You can't be a winner and be afraid to lose.

YOUR BODY

Sleepless in this Season
three reasons why you can't snooze

Insomnia refers to a prolonged time in which a person cannot get a sufficient amount of sleep. There are different types of insomnia; sleep onset which is the inability to fall asleep, or sleep maintenance which is the inability to stay asleep. Sleep is an imperative part of good health, it gives the body time to rest not only the body, but brain as well. A good snooze is linked to slimmer waists, enhanced immune systems, less inflammation, better glucose regulation, and more! If you are struggling in your sleep, consider these 3 things:

1. Evaluate your emotions: Have you been depressed or anxious? Both sleep onset insomnia, but more so sleep maintenance insomnia is commonly linked to emotional disturbance. If you are having a hard time relaxing try reading a book the feeds your spirit, taking an Epsom Salt bath (1-2 cups), deep belly breathing, or using aromatherapy such as lavender oil. Consult with a professional to discuss problems and solutions that can increase the neurotransmitter serotonin (feel good hormone) naturally.

2. Have your Hormones Checked: Have you heard of cortisol? We often link it with stress, as well as weight gain in the mid-section, but it too plays into the sleep equation. Cortisol is made by your adrenal glands, which sit on top of your kidneys, and should produce high levels in the morning, so you have enough energy to get up, and lower in the evening so you can sleep. Often this decrescendo  pattern can be skewed with long term stress that puts people into “adrenal fatigue”. A simple and easy saliva test collected by spitting into different tubes throughout the day can let your holistic doctor now the status of your adrenal health and cortisol levels.

3. Ask about Sleep Apnea: Sleep Apnea refers to a group of disorders in which breathing stops for 10 seconds or greater throughout the night, occurring usually more than 20 times per hour, which decreases oxygen in the blood. Obstructive sleep apnea can be fatal, and occurs when there is upper airway narrowing. This problem leads to more such as cardiac complications, hypertension, daytime sleepiness, slower mental capabilities, and morning headaches. A sleep study by your doctor can see if you suffer from this.

YOUR SPIRIT

Growing Day by Day
Becoming a Better Person
by Madisyn Taylor

We understand that we want to be better but have no clear definition of what better means and that is part of the process.

At some point in our lives, many of us find ourselves overcome with the desire to become better people. While we are all uniquely capable of navigating this world, we may nonetheless feel driven to grow, expand, and change. This innate need for personal expansion can lead us down many paths as we develop within the context of our individual lives. Yet the initial steps that can put us on the road to evolution are not always clear. We understand that we want to be better but have no clear definition of “better.” To ease this often frustrating uncertainty, we can take small steps, keeping our own concept of growth in mind rather than allowing others to direct the course of our journey. And we should accept that change won’t happen overnight—we may not recognize the transformations taking place within us at first.

Becoming a better person in your own eyes is a whole-life project, and thus you should focus your step-by-step efforts on multiple areas of your existence. Since you likely know innately which qualities you consider good, growing as an individual is simply a matter of making an effort to do good whenever possible. Respect should be a key element of your efforts. When you acknowledge that all people are deserving of compassion, consideration, and dignity, you are naturally more apt to treat them in the manner you yourself wish to be treated. You will intuitively become a more active listener, universally helpful, and truthful. Going the extra mile in all you do can also facilitate evolution. Approaching your everyday duties with an upbeat attitude and positive expectations can help you make the world a brighter, more cheerful place. Finally, coming to terms with your values and then abiding by them will enable you to introduce a new degree of integrity and dignity into your life.

As you endeavor to develop yourself further, you can take pride not only in your successes, but also in the fact that you are cultivating consciousness within yourself through your choices, actions, and behaviors. While you may never feel you have reached the pinnacles of awareness you hope to achieve, you can make the most of this creative process of transformation. Becoming a better person is your choice and is a natural progression in your journey of self-awareness

Nothing defines the fall and winter season like a nice cup on hot chocolate or as my family called it cocoa. A lot of people don't realize the amazing health benefits of cocoa. A recent study has found that cocoa is rich in powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants can protect you against a range of diseases and reduce the effects of aging. Further studies suggests cocoa may be richer in antioxidants than drinks like tea and red wine.

Conventional hot chocolate is loaded with sugar. Here is an amazing cocoa recipe that is low in carbs and sugars yet is really delicious. I have this almost every morning during the winter months. You have to try it, seriously.

1/8 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups regular milk, nut milk or soy milk

Fructevia, Steviva Blend or a tiny dash of Steviva Brands Pure Stevia Powder , cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and salt. Blend in hot water. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil, stirring for 2 minutes. Add milk; stir and heat thoroughly, but do not boil. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Beat until foamy.
