How I am trying to learn Mindfulness

All the ailments my body contracted stems from not so many reasons. Looking back, I knew that all those long, stressful hours at work, led to my negative health condition. I realize that all that stress, and taking all those ethical drugs that were supposed to combat my allergies weakened my immune system. And one significant lesson I learned the hard way: be mindful of stress . "Mindful meditation is a method of fully embracing with minimal resistance one's current life situation and internal states". Easier said than done, I know but it wouldn't be bad to start practicing as soon as you can. I too have my moments. But always I focus on what is good around me. I am still alive ain't I? Practice: 1. Learning to be less judgmental. Being less judgmental increases the chance of relaxation. Be more compassionate of others feelings. 2. Minding what you eat. Before eating always try to ask yourself -- do I need this food into my body? Eating mindfully, as in savoring

My World View

My World View You are a fairly broadminded romantic and reasonably content. You value kindness and try to live by your ideals. You have strong need for security, which may be either emotional or material. You respect truth and are flexible. You like people, and they can readily make friends with you. You are not very adventurous, but this does not bother you. What Is Your World View?

'The sound of Music'

Music heals. It provides feelings of restfulness, harmony if you like, and serenity to help calm my nerves when the pressure starts to build up. I like listening to the three tenors : Pavarotti, Domingo, Carrerras. I love Josh Groban, Celine Dion and Sarah Mclachlan.

No more acidity please

I am quite acidic . That means I have more acid and less alkaline body acidity. What I do to upset this imbalance is have a warm glass of honey lemon drink every morning as soon as I am up. That's half a lemon juiced, plus 1 tablespoon of honey on a glass of warm water. I have also totally revised my eating fare. These days, I eat lots of green, leafy vegetables and mostly alkaline fruits. I stay away from red meat. When I eat chicken I only eat the breast parts. I have voluntarily refrained from eating pastries, pastas, grains (in our case, rice), I take coffee sparingly and hasn't drank colas for a long while now.

cambridge and me

I deleted some of my earlier blogs because I decided to transfer them to another blog. To where I have not made up my mind yet. See, I am trying to consolidate all my blogs to 1 or 3 to make my blogging more efficient. Cambridge and Me is really all about what the blogthings quizzes say about my "personality". Truth is I find their assessment about me mostly true. Really. So Go Blogthings!
