The part of the brain chiefly responsible for memory is the hippo campus. It operates very efficiently, and stores each and every experience you have. What you can recall, depends on how you look after the health of the hippocampus, and your brain and body generally.

Good tips for improving memory

Exercise
A brisk walk at lunchtime, a weekly swim, or a quick visit to the gym is a good way to increase blood flow to your brain, ensuring it receives oxygen. Gaining weight is not good for the brain, increasing the risk of stroke and Alzheimer's disease. Regular exercise improves the efficiency of blood vessels, which are numerous in the brain, where they transport nutrients. For good brain health and memory, exercise daily, if only for fifteen minutes, for optimum brain health.

Repeat things
There is a time and a place to sound as if you are talking to yourself, and to improve memory you have to try this. You have a 30 percent improved chance of remembering someone's name, after the first time you are introduced, if you repeat the name. Try it and see.

Negative associations
If you need to remember your bosses wife's name is Karol, spell with a K, it is a good idea to pause for several seconds and reach for an association in your head. For example, A Christmas carol is spell with a C, so you can tell yourself, 'not like the Christmas Carol', and you will remember the unusual spelling.

Focus time
In this world of traffic, radio, television and distractions, finding a few moments to focus on things can show you how to improve memory. If you need to stop after work and buy milk and cereal, spend a moment away from your desk, in a quite part of the office, and pay attention to the thought for a few seconds. Really concentrate on it.

Visualize
To remember where you put something, look at what you are doing and say to yourself; 'Here is where I am putting my keys'. There's a lot to be said for how to improve memory function by simply pausing for thought.

Memory games
Sudoku, puzzles and crosswords, played on a regular basis can help keep your brain functioning efficiently. These games of logic exercise the left side and encourage the synapses in the brain to connect ideas. This critical thinking is vital to memory function, as in order for us to figure out any puzzle, our brain will look to the hippo campus, which remembers everything we ever learn, and retrieve the information to help you solve the puzzle in front of you.

Individuals such as religious leaders, scientists, artists and warriors of all eras have changed the face of humanity in some way. Whether it is the fight for freedom, justice, forgiveness or the inherent search for peace, these men and women have etched their lives into our hearts over time - again and again. Moreover, it is their desire to serve humanity in some way that drives them forward ceaselessly upon heir path. What we must remember is that each individual is just that, an individual, who is the same as you and me in every physiological way, the only difference being the vibration they emit. What this means is that everyone is made up of energy and therefore vibrates at a particular frequency, and the frequency that is omitted attracts the same. Therefore, if you resonate on a higher vibrational plane you will attract to you those of similar vibration. Consequently, the same goes for the lower end of the frequency range.

The individuals of whom we speak, perhaps are also separated from the lower vibratory individual Is primarily due to the level of enlightenment they have already achieved, either by lives lived throughout time, or the culmination of many experiences, both good and bad. And so, vibration and level of enlightenment attained could pal a key factor.

Greatness then can be likened to knowledge, wisdom and enlightenment, and the truth is that we can all reach a level of greatness, even though this may seem so far out of reach. The desire and spiritual growth is what is needed and is reachable for us all, it is your birthright, though not easily attained. Everyone who has achieved something great in their lifetime has experienced the desire to change things for the better either in the immediate environment or on a larger scale. Think about the suffragette movement many years ago. One woman decided that equal rights should be awarded to the female race, and so, she changed the face of ignorant belief and repression. Ghandi fought for freedom and peace by using the desire for peace as his weapon and never once raised a fist in anger. Jesus of Nazareth taught many lessons of the spirit and was persecuted for sharing the knowledge. Another common facet of those who achieve this greatness is the element of suffering that one seems to go through. Personally, I do not feel that suffering is necessary and we should be careful how we cause suffering for the balance has to be restored at some point. But what is remarkable is that everything that was achieved by those individuals came from an innate desire to make things better - even by their own sacrifice in some way. They found their voice and spoke up against what was driven by ignorance, greed and the need for power.

Power is certainly no aphrodisiac but an energy that consumes the individual, then manifests in something great within or something negative because of the beliefs and the desire for more. Power is a dangerous thing and many who seem to have this energy, would do well to respect it and recognize the responsibility they should have. This life is short, what will you do with that power when you pass and have to face up to how you have lived in this lifetime. Will you see yourself for what you really are or be faced with your bill of Karma that has to be repaid. Greatness then cannot be linked to power, for greatness is divine in nature and is the right of every human being on the planet. Every one can make a difference in this lifetime if only they can raise themselves above the ignorance that man has created.

A question still unanswered is "what is the greatness we speak of"? It would seem that one would consider greatness to be an achievement of something out of the ordinary that has caused change for the better in some way. It is not, for greatness can be measured by a simple thing such as service to your fellow brother or sister. What makes you great is the ability you have to exercise your right to be of service, to show some act of kindness, forgiveness or to decide to change something that is of no benefit to something that is of benefit. No matter how small or how large, your greatness is measured by your intent to be of service and your desire and capacity to effect positive change in the world - in speech, the written word or by action. Being mindful of your speech and how you talk to or about someone or something is great. You can achieve greatness in mindful speech by infusing it with positive energy rather than negative energy. Being mindful of your thoughts is great because only you can choose positive or negative thoughts. This is mindfulness of thinking. Deciding to be of service in some way by offering alms or help to someone less fortunate, or deciding to change the way you feel about something or the way you treat someone, this is mindfulness of decision. Every great thing was borne of thought intent and decision. The way you choose to write your words can make you great if done with the right intent.

The truth is that greatness is inspired in everyone throughout the day and we all have the right and the ability to achieve greatness in thought, in deed and in action. Therefore greatness cannot be measured by the amount you have done, but perhaps of the souls you have touched or aided in the journey no matter how you have achieved this. Greatness is not the measure of man's achievement but his service for the greater good of mankind no matter how large or how small the act.

Jock Brocas is a professional Psychic Medium - natural from birth and developed later in life. Jock has dedicated his later years to his own spiritual development and the professional development of his psychic gifts and his Mediumship. Being a professional Psychic Medium is very rewarding but also has its inherent problems. Nevertheless, Jock believes in the sanctity of mediumship and takes his work as a psychic medium very seriously.

Jock is known for giving irrefutable evidence and some of which can be validated much later. Jock is passionate about the science of psychic mediumship and works closely with many professionals in this field. He does not give general information that some psychics throw out and prefers the protocol of scientifically controlled telephone appointments. Jock very rarely gives psychic readings face-to-face.

Jock developed his psychic gifts and mediumship later in life when he was visited by a spirit. At first, this visitation shocked him and terrified him, which led him into the true vocation he was here for, a psychic medium's life. He learned from his past and recognized that he was being groomed to work for spirit all his life - from growing up with spiritual leaders and spending time with religious communities - the path was being prepared. He is also a trained vocalist and is currently working on an Album to be released at some point in the future.

Ingredient One: Discover and do daily mediation or spiritual reflection and contemplation. These set the stage for the elimination of things that cause stress, anger, and the tendency to focus on self. How do you begin? Thinking about The Lord's Prayer, reading spiritual books, or simply replacing negative thoughts with divine thoughts are great starting places.

You may also pray to your Higher Power, seek angel messages, or ask for help beyond endeavors that lead to getting through troubling situations. Change your mental environment! Rise above "I can't believe he did that!" to "I'm going to lift my thinking above that which he did!" "I'm going to see him as one of God's perfect angels."
You will be surprised at how an honest acceptance of such statements will melt the disharmony that you are feeling inside. Mental disturbance yields physical discord. Your body responds to your thoughts.

Ingredient Two: Let go of your ego and get in touch with the One Ego-namely God, Higher Power, Supreme Being, or whatever you call Him. I call Him God! The "I must be pleased or satisfied attitude" has to cease. Seeking to think, say, or do things that follow divine Law eliminate "egoism." I have many mental conversations with myself during the day. Example: "Mamie, what do you think God would do about this? Is this divine will or human will? Is this loving my neighbor as myself, or just loving myself?"

The one with the greatest impact is "Am I obeying 'Thou shall have no other gods before Me?' Humble yourself before God. One writer puts it this way: "Real humility is rare, because to have it you have to want nothing, yet, when you have it, you get everything"(Divine Thought of the Day). That "everything" is a calm, inner peace that nothing material can parallel.

Ingredient Three: Express gratitude. True gratitude comes from the heart-the soul. It is that inner spirit that brings comfort, peace and tranquility. Everything "ungodly" disappears. You seek only to please that Power that no human hand can hold, and no human heart can touch. It is an inner glow that the brightest sunlight cannot emulate. The weight that was holding you down, releases itself, and you soar above the trivial and critical. All truly is well.

There are many people who make a "gratitude list." While this can be well and good, care must be given so that the items placed on it are derived from the heart. A list of material things cannot generate the expression of Soul, God. Many times, my list simply says, "I am grateful that You have given me so much that I can share today," or "Help me to shape my life so that others, observing my actions, will glorify thee."

Chances are you have heard of hypnosis, but you may not believe in it: many people are sceptical when it comes to anything that has to do with trances or altered-states of mind that are not induced by drugs. However, hypnosis is a very real phenomenon that can have many therapeutic benefits. In order to better understand how hypnosis can help people, it is important to first understand how it works, so let's discuss the concept of hypnosis in a little more depth.

What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is an imaginative mental state of mind and it is typically characterized by heightened focus, concentration and inner absorption. Hypnosis is induced by hypnotic induction, a process that involves a long series of questions and instructions. Hypnotic induction can be administered by a hypnotist or by the subject him or herself. Contrary to popular belief, subjects who have been hypnotized are not asleep or engaging in sleepwalking, but rather are awake and responding to and focusing on the suggestions of the hypnotist.

What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is the term used when hypnosis is used for therapeutic purposes. Hypnotherapists use guided relaxation, intense concentration, and focus to help their patients achieve a heightened sense of awareness (a kind of "trance") in which they are able to zone in on specific behavioural issues and address them by making positive changes.

Hypnotherapy can help modify a variety of behaviours and habits and it is dependent on the power of the mind, not mind-altering drugs. In this way, hypnotherapy is not at all dangerous-the only danger is that it may or may not work in helping you achieve a specific behavioural goal, but it will not harm your body in any way. Hypnosis will not cause you to lose control of your free will, only make you more open to suggestions, so it is not a form of mind control or manipulation. It is completely safe and many patients find it extremely helpful in changing the way they about things and perceive things.

Hypnotherapy can be used to help a patient quit smoking and relieve stress, anxiety, depression, phobias, and sleep disorders. It is considered an aid to psychotherapy and it has become increasingly popular as people are becoming more aware of how much power the mind has in influencing the way we think and behave-we are the creators of our thoughts and our thoughts are the creators of our actions. There are many certified hypnotherapists and there are hypnotherapy organizations in America, England, and Australia as well as in various countries across the globe.

If you have some habits that you are looking to change, are struggling with a psychological condition, or are just seeking ways to expand your mind and the way you think about the world, hypnosis offers a great chance to condition your thinking in positive, creative, and helpful ways and it is definitely worth considering when looking for ways to improve your quality of life.

Being thankful and showing those around you gratitude is a healing and fulfilling way to approach living your life. It makes you happy, keeps you balanced, and humble and fills those around you with a sense of worthiness and warmth. Showing gratitude is a simple task-gratitude can be a simple thank you when someone lets you borrow their pen in a science class or the gesture of holding the door open for a mum struggling with her grocery bags. Gratitude is a good tonic for many of the ailments in life; it can help keep you balanced and centered in times of great struggle. Practicing gratitude everyday is good for your heart and your mind. Here are ten easy ways that you can show gratitude in your life every day:

· Offer a little extra help: Offering help does not have to be a huge exertion. If someone drops something, pick it up. Let them know that they are worthy of help and a little extra attention-no matter how small the action, it is the intention behind it that counts.

· Make thank you your favorite phrase: Do you say thank you enough? Think about it. Making thank you a hallmark of your social interactions will make people appreciate you and want to spend time with you because they know they are appreciated.

· Praise someone: Give an extra compliment to someone, a coworker or a friend. Let them know that you value what they do, what they say, and above all who they are.

· Listen: You can show that you appreciate someone by really listening to what they have to say. Sometimes people just want to know that they are seen and heard, and if you authentically listen to what they have to say, you will boost their self-esteem and self-worth ten-fold.

· Replace criticism with gratitude: Did your spouse leave the towel on the bathroom floor again? Did your coworker start chewing his food too loudly during a meeting? Instead of criticizing the habits that annoy you, try to focus on showing gratitude to the people in your life, even when they annoy you the most. You will feel better and more centered if you dwell on the positive instead of the negative.

Gratitude is a major factor in keeping us connected to those around us. As human beings, we are relational and the main purpose in our lives is to keep ourselves connected with those around us, as this facilitates our ability to receive love, safety, and comfort. Showing gratitude is a way of making the people around us feel that they are worthy of love, safety, and comfort. Gratitude is a humble way of nurturing the seeds of human relationships that lead us all to feel better about ourselves and our place in the world.

A young woman we'll call Sarah, was bothered by the strained relationship she felt between herself and her brother. There were just two siblings in the family, and Sarah wanted to feel closer to her brother and couldn't.

To her knowledge, nothing had ever happened between she and her brother to explain the distance and unease between them. So, Sarah decided to give past life regression a try, hoping for some answers.

Regression to Childhood Memory

Sarah was regressed fairly easily. She first went to a pleasant childhood memory of herself and some friends at a party. Her brother was not present. She was having a great time at the party.

Past Life Regression

Next, Sarah was regressed to a past life.

She immediately found herself dressed in a beautiful, red dress and standing outside of a mansion, attending a garden party. It was in late summer in one of the New England states. As she looked around, she began to feel that something was wrong.

Searching for her fiancé, Sarah noticed movement in the bushes beside the patio. Looking to see what the movement was about, she saw her fiancé fondling and kissing another young woman. She was enraged!

Blood on Her Hands

Sarah jumped to another scene in her past life. When she looked down at her hands, they were covered in blood. Her mind began racing and she deducted that she had killed her fiancé or the other woman. She couldn't see what had happened at this point.

The next scene was where Sarah was arrested and taken to jail. She was charged with murdering her fiancé and the other woman.

Off to Jail

Jumping ahead, Sarah found herself sitting in a jail cell by herself. Oddly enough, she seemed to be at peace.

She saw herself staying in jail for the rest of her life.

Her Last Day Alive

Now an older woman, Sarah was very frail and had lost the will to live. However, she was still not bitter.

Moving to her death scene, Sarah learned that she had NOT murdered her fiancé or the other woman. Instead, her brother from her past life had been so hurt for her, that he had murdered them.

Knowing this, Sarah had willingly gone to jail and had given her life to protect her brother. It was at this point, Sarah recognized her past-life brother as the same brother in her current life.

Guilt

In Sarah's past life, her brother had felt guilty for not accepting responsibility for the murder he had committed. It was he who carried the guilt forward into this life and didn't feel worthy of being close to his sister.

Of course, he had no idea on a conscious level why he felt the way he did.

Making Up for Lost Time

After coming out of hypnosis, Sarah left to phone her brother. They talked for a long time as she outlined what had taken place during the regression. She began to feel closer to her brother now than ever before.

They are both determined to work on their relationship with this new understanding. Her brother told her that it made total sense to him.

In Conclusion

The above case study shows the power of the subconscious to affect a person through many lifetimes.

And, sometimes the person being impacted by negative memories is not you. Therefore, you have no way of understanding a relationship or a situation without the past life regression.

Without doubt, wellbeing is the ultimate objective of human existence. Paradoxically, we often wind up surrendering well-being in order to earn money, and then spend a major part of the earnings in attempts to regain it. These efforts are invariably fruitless - so why do we do it? More often than not, the only real beneficiary of the eternal rat race is the healthcare industry.

For most of us, work is the central pursuit in life. We strive to move up the career ladder, putting up massive efforts at the expense of other important factors that make life meaningful. We are not unaware of the toll this takes; the effort leads to physical and mental stress, while the subconscious knowledge that we engaged in a fool's errand leads to psychological and spiritual stress.

Managing stress is essential for maintaining a sense of well-being. Stress occurs when we face situations for which we don't have ready-made responses. The stress factor remains in check and can even be exhilarating as long as our minds entertain the hope that success is imminent. As soon as a feeling of impending defeat or loss sets in, stress becomes unpleasant, unhealthy and draining. This also leads to loss of motivation and destroys all feelings of well-being.

The Building Blocks Of Stress

Stress is multi-faced demon which we create to drive success, and which eventually gobbles us up. It consists of:

1. Threat perception
2. Feeling of negativity
3. The resultant psychological arousal.

The drivers of stress are called stressors, and everything perceived as an impediment to what one desires to achieve is a stressor. The defense reaction causes a psychological alarm to go off, and makes us to muster all our energy to achieve the goal. If the situation continues for a prolonged time, the human mind prepares for long-term battle by remaining in a persistent state of active alertness. Eventually, both mind and body tire of this constant stage of red alert. Energy levels drop and there are increased chances of failure at the task level.

The Effects Of Stress

At the mental level, persistent and continuous stress leads to anxiety, insecurity and lack of concentration. At the physical level, it leads to changes in our hormonal secretion, in turn leading to cardiac problems and reduced immunity levels. In the societal realm, it leads to the steady erosion and breakdown of relationships. Burnout - emotional, physical and mental exhaustion mixed with reduced self-confidence and morale - sets in.

The Causes Of Stress

In an organization, some of the commonly observed caused of stress among employees are:

• Very high or very low role demands
• Lack of sufficient authority to discharge duties effectively
• Favoritism and poorly-handled appraisal discussions
• Lack of career prospects
• Impending layoff or role redundancy

At a more individual level, existing personal circumstances, learned responses as well as inherent genetic dispositions cause us to react to stress differently. Major life transitions such as the death of family member, family breakdown, illness or loss of friends also play a role and make us sensitive to stressors that would have been ignored under other circumstances.

How to Manage Stress

Here are some of the most effective stress management precepts:

• Be conscious of your thoughts and deeds, and of what your action do to you and others
• Maintain a healthy and balanced diet
• Draw up an integrated life plan - give equal weightage to work, family and society
• Practice regular yoga and meditation to balance body and mind - there are very easy modules run by several agencies
• Remember that it is not about winning at all costs but winning without any damage to you

Finally, remember that we cannot remove stress from our life. There are too many causative factors, and not all of them can be stopped. A reasonable degree of stress can actually be beneficial, because it makes us strive for more. However, it is essential to how much is enough for each one of us.

It was a quiet Saturday afternoon at our house when my husband decided to give my son a haircut - not unusual. What was unusual was the crying about 3 minutes later, and an urgent "honey, please come here immediately". Uh Oh! I couldn't help but worry that my son has somehow been cut. I was certainly not prepared to see my son with a bald stripe down the front, center of his head. Apparently, my husband had forgotten to put the guard on the clippers. "What do I do?" my husband asked above my son's wails. In a flash, I herded my son to the car to go to a haircut place. Not usually known for his dramatics, my son sobbed "MY LIFE IS RUUUUIIIINNNEDD" on the way to the car leaving behind a very guilty daddy.

All was pretty quit on the way, but when we headed into the haircut place, my son put his head down and tried to hide behind me - obviously embarrassed. It was while we were sitting and waiting that I realized what had to be done here. It's really an age-old parental trick. When something happens to your child that you cannot fix, you have just one choice...you have to change their perspective on the situation. My son was called and we both went to the chair. He was unusually unresponsive despite the attempts of the very nice haircutter "Cathy". I explained what happened and Cathy assured my son that she was there to help. Together, Cathy and I started talking about how cool he was going to look with such short hair. Cathy mentioned that all the cool kids these days have closely shaved heads. I could see my son beginning to come around, so I took it further. He had a swim meet the following day and I told him that with less hair, he was sure to swim faster than ever. In just 15 minutes in the haircut chair, I saw my son go from dejected and embarrassed to hyper-happy. He went home and gave his dad a huge hug and a "thank you". The transformation was amazing.

It was also one of life's great life lessons. We can't always change or control a situation. We can choose to be angry or sad or beat our heads against the wall, but why not choose something else? Why not try to change our perspective? My son's new haircut still looks a little strange, but by bringing the positives of it to his attention, his entire world changed. We can do that too - everyday.

Eating to comfort ourselves often come to us, this is something very normal. Often when we feel stressed, bored or lonely or we just want to cheer ourselves up. Most do it without even being totally aware of it. That temptation to have that extra helping because we've enjoyed the first one so much and taking an extra serving will make us feel better is the main reason why we over eat. However, every time we comfort ourselves with food, we consume lots of extra calories - when we're not even really hungry at all.

Hard Habits to break

We may not realize it, but comfort eating is something that we picked up from the time we were kids.

When we were babies, we cried and our mothers comforted us with their milk. As we grew older we were given treats for comfort or when we hurt ourselves, or when we achieve something great. Thus, we associate food as something that can cheer us up or something that has to be present when we want to celebrate. But, unfortunately for many of us, these comfort eating lessons often come back later in life and cause weight challenges.

To conquer comfort eating we need to change our relationship with food. The main purpose of food is to nourish out bodies, and that's it. Fuel. When we start to think about what food is, and what it contributes to our lives, we start to develop a healthier, more aligned relationship with food. The next time you feel down and want to dive in to that large serving of ice cream, take these simple alternative steps instead:

• Take some time out to pamper yourself with a long comforting bath, a facial, massage or manicure.
• Do something nice for someone else who needs the cheering up more than you do. It makes them feel good and helps you forget about your problems for a little while. You also feel better knowing you have helped out a friend in need.
• Visit or have a quick phone chat with a friend. Go for a walk in the fresh air or visit some nice place.
• Get off your bed or couch and exercise. Exercise takes our mind off things and when we work out our body releases endorphins, the natural feel good hormone.
• Don't suppress your feelings. Cry, and let it all out. You will feel finality when you have let your emotions out. Your head will clear afterward.
• Fill your ears with happy music. Dance like crazy if you want.

Food is our body's friend. But as we associate it with other things in life, in the end, we over eat and food suddenly becomes something to struggle with. By channeling our emotions properly, we can deal with the different up and downs of life without having to eat our way out of the situation.

If this persists you can get what is called a chronic stress reaction which in time can lead to things which are more problematic such as ulcers, heartburn and diarrhoea. Sometimes if these stress and anxiety symptoms go on for long periods of time they can even develop into very debilitating or even life threatening conditions which will stop you working, or even lead to permanent impaired health.

It is essential that when you recognise any symptoms in yourself which are brought on by stress and affect your digestive system you speak immediately to your health practitioner who will suggest either tracking the conditions to see when they arise and what they are associated to and then make suggestion for further medical investigations and diagnosis. On the whole recognition of such symptoms such as the butterfly in the stomach when about to do some kind of activity which may cause nervousness for example public speaking or a job interview is quite natural and part of your body's process of preparation and alertness. They are usually and you will have experienced them before. Mostly you know to take a deep breath and prepare yourself mentally looking forward to the outcome of a good accomplishment.

But when these feelings rise often and frequently and your feel them in your body at times which you do not associate with a normal response to your ongoing activities you must try to look at what is going on for you at the time. This can be difficult because the stress may arise some feelings of fear in you especially if this feeling is happening frequently and you are feeling the discomfort as described in you stomach and digestive system. But try to relax and gently look at what just happened previously to cause you to feel these feeling of stress and anxiety. If you can get an understanding of what the stressful situation was you can begin to identify with support the best way of managing those worrisome times with stress management techniques which work for you and put into your life. What is essential is that you know that you are not on your own and that you can seek help to get through these periods.

Digestive problems and stress

When we have butterflies in our stomach we will often view them as somewhat like a wake-up call to how we are feeling about the situation in front of us and chalk it up to nerves, stage fright, work presentation, or exam conditions etc. This is our body doing what it does best, taking care of us for preparation for survival, an alert to be wary and take care. But what if the butterflies increase to gut wrenching pain that is debilitating and long lived? In these circumstances if the painful situation is not brought on by an organic medical condition which has been diagnosed as such by a health care practitioner then it is at times diagnosed to be the associated symptoms of stress related issues.

The digestive system

For the purpose of this article we include the length of the digestive system which ranges from the mouth to the lower end of the digestive system. All the ailments can be associated with various bodily issues but we are talking about the effects of stress induced ailments and for those that suffer from stress.

What are the possible stress related problems?

Mouth ulcers

They are a small sore which is an inflammation of the mucous membrane, vary in size and can be found in any area around the mouth. They can be triggered by various causes including stress, poor diet and infections. Some suggest vitamin B can aid the stress issues internally.

Toothache and bad breath

Not commonly associated with stress but lack of personal hygiene or attention to mouth problems can make you upset and worried and also impact on yourself image. A quick check for bad breath is to lick your inner wrist then take a quick smell of it after 30 seconds.

Indigestion

Indigestion is often the most common ailment accompanied with stress and prolonged stress. The most effected stress management technique is to treat more than the symptoms, but to also have some kind of counselling and even meditation

Nausea and vomiting

Like all conditions you must seek medical advice if you are experiencing any prolonged nausea and vomiting or if your stomach is distended in any way. These symptoms go hand in hand with indigestion for some stress sufferers but most people do not actually vomit when under acute and prolonged stress. Herbalism is a great way to treat the symptoms of nausea and vomiting that is stress related.

Stomach Ache

As discussed slight butterflies when filled with dread is what we are talking about which is not persistent and leads to pain that goes away, usually associated with a recognisable stressful situation.

Colic

Some people suffer from colic should ensure that they take care of personal stress and think about coming activities which have an element of activity with deep breathing such as yoga. It has also been noted that time management issues can bring on colic for some sufferers who have pressurised deadlines and responsibilities.

Constipation and irritable bowel syndrome

This is a specific medical diagnosis which is given after several tests to rule out other diseases and digestive or whole body problems. Although bought on by types of food that we eat IBS is one the symptoms that has been easily triggered by the inclusion of stress in our lives. Most IBS sufferers will be asked to keep a mood diary in order to track the situations which maybe triggering this response.

When I first brought my dog home more than 10 years ago, she was a pretty wild one. As she was badly abused by her previous owners, she was neurotic and a little violent at times. I suffered from bites, scratches and minor injury for the first few months of my life with her. I didn't know how to control her and so I bought all kinds of books on dog training and tried to undo some of the damage she went through in her previous home.

She was obviously not an easy dog to train. I tried all the methods that the books talked about. And the success rates for discipline was only 10%. She would either try to pounce on other people around or she would try to hide if there was a big group of people walking towards us. My whole apartment was wrecked. She bit off a huge chunk of my sofa so there was sponge foam everywhere when I came home one day. She pulled down my curtains and bit all my nice candles, pictures, shoes, anything you can think of. My nicely decorated living room soon became an empty shell filled only with dog toys. Fleeting thoughts of giving up and sending her to the SPCA came to my mind. But I persevered because I believe every living creature deserves a chance. Over time the success rate for discipline, even though it did not go very much higher, did not deter me. After a couple of years she began to tone down on her boisterous behaviour. She was more calm and steady and realised eventually that I was unlike her previous owners. I can't say that her discipline level went beyond 50% but I still felt it was a great success.

Today, the same dog is older and deaf. She is still a live wire at times, and because she is now deaf, the learned ways of disciplining her has been thrown out of the window. We are now starting all over again with new methods of discipline. She has started to steal food off the kitchen counter, she does things she is not supposed to and all commands have been ignored because she can no longer hear. But my motivation to discipline my dog has always been the same - to be sure that she remains safe and harm free.

This experience with my dog has taught me many lessons on perseverance and adaptation.

We all have different reasons why we succumb to addictions and bad habits because we all have different experiences in life. But what we must do in order to break out of any bad habits/addictions is to persevere. Our life's circumstances may change over time and so adapting our methods to master our addictions must be done wisely. What may work yesterday may not work today. But our motivation should remain the same and that is to be liberated and to claim our mastery of self.

No matter how positive our outlook in life, unpleasant things are going to happen which bring us down. People betray us, hurt us and disappoint us. People attack us with their spiteful words. They misjudge us, take credit for our work or malign us. When we experience this sort of thing in our daily lives, it is very difficult to remain positive. Such actions and feelings produce a very low vibration: a very negative energy.

However, while we cannot stop this sort of thing from happening, we can choose how to react to it.

Option 1:

The natural human reaction is to play into the drama of the situation. If we buy into this, we feel compelled to justify and defend ourselves. If we take on the negative energy, we find ourselves feeling resentful, angry or even vengeful. Unfortunately, this simply magnifies the negativity, and damages us. If you are on a path of self-improvement and growth, your quest will be to raise your vibration to that of unconditional love. If you allow yourself to slip into this negative pattern of drama, you will be undoing all your good work and making yourself feel dreadful in the process.

Option 2:

Alternatively, you can change your perspective and choose to see the situation in a different light. Raise your perspective up above the drama to the highest perspective of the Soul or Higher Self. From the highest perspective, everything is perfect, and everything has a purpose. From the highest perspective, your experience provides a wonderful opportunity to grow and ascend further. Ask yourself what gifts and lessons your soul wanted you to learn from experiencing this; usually you are being shown what not to do! For example, how should a loving person have behaved in that situation? What have you learned from witnessing their bad example? What qualities have you gained by going through that experience? How have you become a better, more loving and less judgemental person yourself?

When you have identified the lessons and gifts, sit quietly with your eyes closed, and feel the energy of your heart. Let the energy expand with every breath. Then let your heart energy expand out of your body and ask that it be connected to the energy of the Universe. Now, ask the Universe to show you that you have finished learning those lessons completely now, and it is unnecessary to keep on learning them from the incident, or from any resentments, grudges or anger you are holding on to. Then ask the Universe to release all people concerned from the obligation of giving you those lessons and gifts. Now, let the energy of the Universe move through your body, cleansing away all the lower vibrations and transforming them. Visualise or imagine it happening, until you see that every cell in your body has become clean and bright. Allow your vibration to rise once again to the vibration of love.

The upsets and hurts of life are still going to come along, but if you deal with them straight away, they will help you on your path, rather than hinder you. If you complete the lessons and then cleanse the lower vibrations from your body, you will bring yourself back to who you truly are as quickly as possible. Only then will you be able to bring that vibration of love into the world again.

• every year at tax time there is the same pressure to get your income tax papers in to your accountant on time
• same tensions whenever the family get together for Christmas
• same conflicts surface at work despite new staff or even a job change
• same irritations and arguments with the 'significant other' in one relationship after another

Even though the calendar date has moved forward and the people and circumstances of your life are different, do you have the feeling that your life really isn't changing? Even though you have a strong desire to make positive change in your life, do you have the feeling that you are not moving forward and that you are stuck? Could it be that at some fundamental level you have not changed? Do you resonate with the saying - " The more things change, the more they stay the same."

At the root of these repeating and unchanging pattern are unconscious beliefs that are running the show. You might say to yourself that you want a loving, warmly intimate and understanding life partner. However, if you are unconsciously holding a belief that it is unsafe to be intimate or that you are not lovable (conclusions you unknowingly came to as a result of your own past experiences), then your conscious efforts to create the relationship you say you desire will be blocked.

These unconscious beliefs or conclusions are like filters through which you view everything in your life. They determine how you see your world and affect your thoughts about yourself and others, your perspective on events, your reactions, and your dominate feelings and attitudes. Until you wake up to your own filters, you are stuck with seeing your life through the lens of " I'm not lovable." or " I'm not good enough" or " I am not deserving of anything better. "

The filters are not who you really are but rather they represent an interpretation of who you think you are. A thought is just a thought and can be changed. Imagine how your whole life would change if you dropped the belief " I'm not lovable". I am sure you would agree that it would be totally transformed.

When it comes to personal health, most people are very skeptical about trying alternative treatments. There are so many myths that surround alternative care. These myths ultimately result in the fear of trying anything outside of traditional medical care.

The top 7 myths about chiropractic treatment are: It is painful, it is too expensive, it is not scientific, once you start it is a life-long commitment, chiropractors are not "real doctors", it is dangerous, and chiropractic care only treats back pain. Let us take a closer look into the validity of these myths.

1. "Chiropractic treatment is a painful process". Spinal and joint adjustments are virtually painless. Most patients experience immediate pain relief after the first session. There are some cases where patients will experience some pain and stiffness at the site of the adjustment, headaches, fatigue, and/or muscle spasms. It all depends on the patient's health and physical conditions/injuries, but most do not experience any pain during or after the session.

2. "Chiropractic care is too expensive". When you break down the cost of traditional methods of care, chiropractic treatment is only a fraction of the cost. A study done by the state of Florida's workman's comp. board did a research in 1988 which showed that the average cost per patient for chiropractic treatment is $558 compared to $1,100 per patient for traditional medical care.

3. "Chiropractic care is not based on scientific evidence". There are numerous studies, which can be found online, that confirm the validity of chiropractic treatment as a viable alternative to traditional methods of medical care. Chiropractic care is physically and mentally beneficial, has very few side effects, and is far more cost effective when compared to traditional medical treatment.

4. "Once a patient receives their first chiropractic session, they will have to go for the rest of their life". Everyone goes to the doctor for a yearly physical or the dentist for their routine cleaning. With chiropractic care, once the immediate issue is resolved/under control, routine check-ups are recommended but not required. This is due to the fact that your spine and joints are compressed by every day activities. It is recommended that you get periodical adjustments as a preventative measure against misalignments, but it is not a requirement. Some people only make an appointment when something hurts or doesn't feel right, and then discontinue the treatment when the issue is resolved. Others believe that being proactive by getting regular chiropractic treatment is more beneficial to their health and overall well being.

5. "Chiropractors are not real doctors". To become a chiropractor, several things must take place before and just after graduation. First, they must complete 2 to 4 years of pre-med schooling. After that, they must complete 4 to 5 years at a chiropractic college. Just before or right after graduation from the chiropractic college, they must log in several hundred clinical hours. This is a hands-on experience with real patients. Once that has been completed, the last step is passing the state and national board test(s). The curriculum is very close and almost as rigorous as those attending medical school.

6. "Chiropractic adjustments are dangerous". If adjustments are made by a licensed and highly qualified/skilled/experienced chiropractor, the risk of spinal injury is extremely rare. More physicians are recommending spinal adjustments before a patient decides to pursue traditional methods of treatment such as medications and surgery. The risks are much greater with all of the side effects from medication and the possible complications of surgery. Chiropractic care is virtually painless and is a much safer choice.

7. "Chiropractic care only treats back pain". Chiropractic care can treat or help lessen the symptoms of numerous conditions such as soft tissue disorders/conditions, migraine headaches, Fibromyalgia, ear infections in children, ADHD/ADD, Autism, and depression. Yes, the treatments can be effective for back, spine, neck pain along with a plethora of other disorders and conditions.

Now that you are aware of the myths and the truth about chiropractic care, you can make your appointment with a chiropractor licensed in your state to begin your journey to living a better and healthier life.

Pure essential oils are hard to come by these days due to the time consuming and intricate process involved. The high demand is more than the supply. First you need to ask what constitutes them? There are many factors that play a role in its purity. It has hundreds of different chemical constituents that can give the oil its overall power and purity for medicinal uses.

The essential oil constituents are categorized into the following 13 different categories: Alkanes, Phenols, Terpenes, Alcohols, Ethers, Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic acids, Esters, Oxides, Lactones, Coumarins, and Furanoids. The constituents are all affected by many variables such as geographical region, climate, altitude, soil condition, fertilizer, harvesting methods, the part of the plant the oil came from, and the distillation process. In order to get pure on all of the variables that affect the constituents need to be optimal for the plant, especially the distillation process.

When it is being produced, it needs to have the aromatic compounds preserved as much as possible. The aromatic chemicals are very fragile and can be killed by high temperature, pressure, and chemically reactive metals. It should be distilled in stainless steel cooking chambers at low temperatures and low pressure.

You want a pure therapeutic-grade essential oil that has been cared for in the growing process, distillation process and also in the testing phase. It will cost more for the pure ones, but if you buy cheap oils chances are it is synthetic and can be harmful. You want to know that the plants are free of herbicides, pesticides, and all other agrichemicals. These harmful chemicals can mix with the oils during distillation and produce toxic compounds.

The main constituents and fragrance have been successfully created in the laboratory by chemists. These are called synthetic oils and lack the true purity of therapeutic-grade essential oils. The chemist is unable to manufacture all of its molecules and isomers leaving the synthetic oils in an unnatural state. This can lead to the synthetic oils being harmful and having no real benefits to you. This is a big concern because the demand for oil is more than the supply so a lot of the oil on the market is synthetic.

True pure oils take a lot of preparation, time and testing to be labeled as therapeutic. It starts with the seed and ends with the distillation process. It is very important to be aware of who you're buying your essential oils from and how they process them. The therapeutic-grade essential oils can greatly benefit your mind, body, and spirit. So just remember, in order to receive the health benefits from essential oils they must be pure.

Are you fed up with struggling with overeating, starting another d-i-e-t that you know will probably blow up on you, or wishing your pants were not so tight?

Here are five simple things you can implement today to control your cravings, eat less, and thrive more.

1. Sleep. Don't keep working harder and harder. Play it smart. Women who average five hours or less of sleep per night weigh more, gain weight more easily, and crave more carbohydrates and fattening foods-and it's not in their heads! Sleep deprivation leads to chemical changes in your body that cause overeating and weight gain (even if you don't overeat). Aim for at least seven and a half hours of sleep per night. Not only will you be less hungry, your productivity, focus, and creativity will probably improve. You may even find yourself accomplishing more than when you were burning the midnight oil. Additional bonus: you're likely to feel a whole lot better.
2. Pay attention to your feelings. Emotional eating-eating as a response to feelings-is a major cause of overeating and packing on the pounds. Stress eating, comfort eating, eating out of frustration and even eating out of boredom or happiness can all sabotage your weight loss plans. Develop strategies to check in with yourself and with how you are feeling so that you can respond to your emotions in ways that don't involve food. Added bonus: when you address your feelings instead of feeding them, you will be taking charge of your life and responding to what you really need. When you do this, life gets better.
3. Carve out time for you. Stress and overload can be a direct path to weight gain. If you're feeling time crunched, you're likely to make the all-too-common mistake of cutting out the activities that are actually the best for you. Me-time helps you relax and unwind. It also gives you an opportunity to pay attention to yourself and what you need to function and flourish. When you meet your needs and care for yourself in quality ways, you are less likely to find yourself using food as a "special treat" or a "band aid" to help you get through the day. Practice giving yourself a five or ten minute time out a few times a day. The bonus: these short breaks help you get perspective on your day. You're likely to feel more organized and relaxed as a result.
4. Feed yourself quality food at regular intervals. If you are trying to eat less, it can be tempting to cut back too far and allow yourself to get too hungry. Big mistake. While depriving yourself with strict diets may initially seem to create results on the scale, in the long run, eating too little leads to stronger cravings (usually for foods that will spike your blood sugar levels quickly), overeating, and binge eating. Do you find that your healthy eating plan always gets blown in the afternoon or evening? Try eating smaller, more frequent meals during the day and make sure that you are including some protein each time you eat. Bonus: when you feed yourself well, both your energy levels and your mood are likely to improve.
5. Savor. You might be surprised to find how little of what you eat you actually allow yourself to savor and enjoy. Eating on the run and multitasking while you eat mean that your attention is divided between food and your hunger and whatever else you are doing. When you eat without giving it your full attention, you are likely to eat more and not feel as full. Impose a ban on multitasking when you eat. Take your time and practice eating mindfully-paying complete attention to your food-the taste, smell, even the texture. Notice how full or hungry you are and allow yourself to enjoy the act of eating. Bonus: savoring is a pleasant activity and it tends to be relaxing. Practicing enjoying your food in this way and getting in the habit of doing one thing at a time is a great strategy for reducing stress. If you apply the concept of not multitasking to other areas of your life, you're also likely to see an improvement of the quality of your results.

The dog's joy is obvious as she runs free across the fields, weaving and winding, sniffing and following interesting scents and bounding here, there and everywhere with her tail high and her ears back. As she races backwards and forwards enjoying the fresh air and the chance to run wild I realise how rewarding and how much fun it is having a dog. I appreciate her a little more every day. The simple pleasures in life are often the most rewarding.

Seeing her enjoy her freedom makes me happy and reminds me that there is more to life than the everyday stresses and strains of modern life. My pleasure is just as great as hers. Walking a dog brings many benefits, physical, mental and emotional.

When I'm out walking the dog my mind clears and I'm able to think. Striding briskly across the fields I'm reminded of how lucky I am to be alive and healthy. To have the energy to walk as far as I want, to enjoy time with my dog and to feel the vitality of walking whatever the weather and whatever is going on in my life.

Walking wakes your body up and energises you. It gets your circulation going, makes the blood pump round your body and makes you feel alive, and grateful to be so. The exercise and the fresh air feel so good and so healthy.

Being out in nature is refreshing and where I live I'm able to fully appreciate the beautiful views, the sweeping English countryside, the blue skies, the green fields, the red poppies, the birds swooping in the sky. And, the absolute peace and quiet of the countryside. In the city we enjoy exploring new neighbourhoods, searching for some green space to throw the ball. We never fail to find something of interest on our jaunts together.

We are, perhaps, a little more able to put life into perspective when out walking. Biologically, you are reducing the cortisone and other stress hormones in your body with a brisk walk. The chance to still your mind and realise your place in the bigger scheme of things is very centring. I often use my dog-walking time to reflect on issues that I need to deal with. Being out in nature with my faithful four-legged companion gives me a unique perspective on life, love and the universe.

Dog walking with a friend is fun too and offers the opportunity to share the experience, the exercise, the views and the exploration, and gives time for in-depth conversation. Together, you have the chance to look at the bigger picture of things, and to let the conversation take a different turn as a result of the stimulation of the great outdoors, and the exercise.

My heart warms when I see my dog bounding towards me, her tongue lolling out, waiting for my approval to go bounding off ahead again. The sheer enjoyment of our walks together makes this one of life's most simple but most valuable pleasures.

Health is a very important part of human life, and plays a crucial role to the development of human beings, the revolution of society, the updating of culture, and the change of lifestyle. However, what is the definition of health? In 1948, the World Health Organization gave a specific one: Health not only means no disease of body, but also emphasizes the mental health. How to keep a healthy body and mind? The following tips will give you a reference.

First, set clear goals in life. We always pursue a lot of things during our life. However, due to the living environment, social culture, and individual condition, we cannot make all our dreams come true. And this requires us to set goals for the limitation of one's time and energy. In order to realize the value of life and pursue larger development in the limited time, it is better make sure what you want and set clear goals. With a clear goal, you can effectively eliminate all kinds of negative emotions and keep vitality to challenge.

Second, keep a forgiving attitude towards others. Nowadays, the competition among people is fierce for the advanced science and technology. Clear goals and success in life are certainly the elements to keep health, but be lenient with others and gain corporate progress also make benefits to one's happy and health. Sometimes, you will get unexpected results by helping others selfless.

Third, develop good living habits. Good habits can make contribution to people for a lifetime. We cannot underestimate its value to health. But in our real life, many people ignore this important aspect. They always keep bad habits in life. For example, some people like to spend all night to play cards or watch TV, which will do serious harm to health. According to the scientific research, the activities of the human body are controlled by biological clock. The violation of it will cause the disorder of body function. So, we should keep good habits in all aspects of life to ensure the best function of whole body system.

Fourth, ensure enough exercises. It is proved that physical activities can keep clear mind and nimble thought. Because exercises can enable enough rest for brain to maintain its work ability, and promote the blood circulation to improve the function of heart. Moreover, sports can adjust person's psychology to keep vitality. Regularly exercises can also improve person's adaptability and strengthen the resistance to disease, then to live a health and longer life.

In addition to these, reasonable nutrition composition and essential hobbies are also in favor of physical and mental health. In order to live an easy and happy life, please draw attention to the maintenance of your health.

Yea that sounds simple, but how many times in the day do you stop and actively seek aspects of your life to be grateful for? What about your boss, your children, your pets, your family and your job? All of these things can easily be moved from our positive thinking to our negative thoughts depending on how we process our interactions with them.

Your kids require so much time and effort but they are the reason you strive for betterment. You want to give them a better life than you had. Be grateful for them.

Your job blows, you struggle to meet deadlines and you have no control over your daily schedule. However, it also pays the bills, it ensures you have a nice place to live and can enjoy the activities and events you share with your loved ones. Even if your job sucks, be grateful for it while you seek another.

There are endless examples of things or people who may add to our stress and workload. Take a moment to be thankful for them as you work to improve these circumstances.

2. Keep a Gratitude Calendar

Sometimes we need to be reminded of the things and people we need to express gratitude toward. A calendar is what we use to structure our lives. It is also one of the most useful ways to ensure that the things you are grateful for are constantly in the forefront of your mind.

Before each month begins, take a few minutes to reflect on the things and people who are currently in your life that give you pleasure, opportunity and appreciation. While you may be grateful for these things everyday, be sure to set aside a specific day to actively express your gratitude toward these things and people so that they know what they mean to you. Even if you don't say it to the people you are grateful for, try to find some way to let them know that they are important to you.

The great Wallace D. Wattles once wrote that gratitude brings us closer to the source from which our blessings flow. I believe this to be true. Without gratitude we cannot distance ourselves from dissatisfied thought. Gratitude will take your thoughts and intentions and put them to work for you, drawing the things and people you need to have a happy life closer to you. Life is important. A happy life is a blessing. Learn to cultivate gratitude and watch your life change in positive ways you may have never dreamed possible.

3. Participate, Compete, Just Try!

So often I find that people who lead rather mundane, unfulfilled lives do so out of fear of failure. They have few things to be happy and excited about because they've never achieved anything they find to be worthy of appreciation. Their fear of failure and embarrassment keeps them from engaging in the kinds of things that could give them their greatest fulfillment. These days there are so many great ways to achieve without the fear of failure - especially concerning fitness and exercise. So many historically competitive events have embraced those who simply want to participate. For instance, nearly every running event I can think of is filled primarily with people who just want to cross the finish line but know they'll never cross it first. These people are craving achievement, personal betterment and the sense that they did something big! Endeavor to find ways to challenge yourself to become better and just do it! Train for a 5k, 10k or a marathon. Join a local club and take part in events that allow your to train hard, compete and achieve more than you dreamed possible. Remember, for most of us, getting better is not about being the best, it's about being the best that we can be in the present. That's a pretty good feeling and it's available to anyone who will take the time to chase their dreams and pursue betterment with an energized sense of gratitude.
