1. Say “good morning” to people. Old-fashioned manners will never lose their value. Smile and be bright while saying it — all too often good-mornings are mumbled by people who don’t really feel that way. say your good-morning sincerely, as a heartfelt wish.

2. Have a pillow fight. Playfully bashing each other with pillows is a fun way to release tension — both through the physical exertion of the action and the laughter it provokes. Or, have balloon fight, with a friend — a slower, less hazardous version of the same game. Let go of adult inhibitions and surrender to silliness.

3. Follow your intuition when trying to decide whether a particular course of action is right or wrong. If you feel logic overruling your intuition, close your eyes and imagine the optimum course of action as a ball of light rising from your stomach and filling your mind with truth.

1001 Ways to Relax by Mike George

If you are at all familiar with Louise Hay, then you know the wonderful work she’s done relating our illnesses to the underlying fears and negative emotions. Once she’s identified the fear to the illness, she then devised ‘new thought patterns’ around the underlying problem to help us reversing the impact of the illness. From time to time, I’ll share some of her wisdom.

Instead of doing random illnesses, I plan to use the Spinal Misalignments as a guide, as the whole body and the array of possible issues is covered here.

Thanks to Anne O’Hearn for sharing this article/video with me. It really helps explain why we so often lose the battle of creating change. I hope you’ll enjoy it as well!

1. Combine favorite things. For example, introduce your favorite walk to a valued friend. Sit under a favorite tree and read your favorite book. Tell your favorite neighbor your favorite joke.

2. Forget yesterday’s mistakes. Today is a new day, your mind has been refreshed by sleep, and here is no need to believe that yesterday’s misjudgments or misfortunes will repeat themselves. Make yourself a checklist of all that you have learned from past mistakes — and now move on!

3. Get to know your computer. An inability to fix technical problems, or to use a particular function, causes huge amounts of stress. Browse through the handbook to get acquainted with your kit and accompanying software. Take time to experiment with the different programs, exploring the features and looking for short-cuts.

1. Drink fluids between rather than during meals as they can reduce the absorption of nutrients and can upset digestion.

2. Have a “tiny job” day. Do all the niggling little chores around the house that are pricking your conscience on a daily basis. Knocking off half a dozen or so little jobs on the same day is a certain way to nurture good feelings about yourself.

3. Shake a snowstorm bubble and examine the miniature scene of the blizzard within the plastic dome. Whenever your life seems chaotic, imagine that you are observing the chaos from outside like this — calm and centered despite the confusion.

1. Take a detour on your way home, just to vary your routine. That way, you get to know your area, with better understanding of what it has to offer in terms in practical and leisure facilities.

2. Watch a comedy. When circumstances seem overwhelming, it is sometimes necessary to seek temporary respite by escaping to the more light-hearted world of a comic film, play or T series. Choose a comedy that appeals to your particular brand of humor — whether romantic, slapstick, farcical, black or ironic — to be sure of the welcome release of laughter.

3. Visualize your star, a point of light in the center of your forehead, just above your eyes. According to some Eastern traditions, this is your “third eye” and represents the seat of intuition. Fel your star radiating energy. Whenever your require strength or inspiration, call it to mind and allow it to guide you.

1. Make your favorite childhood meal for yourself, particularly if you are feeling vulnerable and in need of some comfort and reassurance. It may release all kinds of fascinating memories of distant childhood days.

2. Speak softly and warmly for a day. Notice how this releases your mind and influences others to follow your example.

3. Imagine a robber has visited you in the night and made off with all your past experiences and ingrained habits, but you also have a magic spell that brings back everything you assent to. You are, for the moment, free of any burden you choose not to accept. Today, whatever happens, you have the awareness to select an appropriate response, rather than reacting automatically. See what it feels like — for a while — to be the person you wish to be.

1. Never stop learning — about yourself, other people, and the world at large. Learning ensures that we remain flexible and responsive, able to deal with whatever happens to us and make the changes that we seek.

2. Blitz your backlog of chores, starting early one morning, straight after an early breakfast. Working hard right up to mid-morning snack time guarantees that you’ll feel good about yourself. Any downtime you take from this point onward will be doubly relaxing because it’s thoroughly deserved.

3.Tidy your bedroom before going to bed. In doing so you are symbolically drawing a line under the business of the day, and you can fall asleep in the knowledge that your immediate environment is well under your control.
