Of mine in college, used to find money on the ground, wherever we went.

Sounds weird, I know, but amazingly he would find $5, $10 and $20 bills just lying on the ground…while I never found anything.

He told me his secret: “When I walk, I always look around on the ground, because that’s where the money is, and that’s why I find it”.

Makes sense to me, because I never look on the ground for money…and maybe that’s why I never found any.

Now I use the same principle to get what I am looking for. Focus on what I want and it soon comes into view.

YOU HAVE GOOD POSTURE – if you back up against a wall and your buttocks, back of
shoulders and back of your head all touch the wall with no forced effort.

IF YOU DON’T – you can change it…you see,

Ligaments have mechano-receptors called golgi bodies…they are responsible for
keeping the ligaments from stretching too much and for resuming previous length
if you will.

But if you stretch ligaments with consistency and duration…after 20 minutes
the golgi bodie “Cry Uncle” and receive a temporary new set point and over
time you can help to dictate proper length of postural ligaments from their
ever shortening journey caused by gravity and sitting.

And remember one of the strongest ligament of your body? It is the Anterior
Longitudinal Ligament, and is positioned in the front of our spine. Over time
with the help of gravity, it gets to be like if you were wearing a tie and bent over
and pinned it to your belt….you couldn’t straighten up if you tried.

We are born with a “C” curve (and without intervention) we blossom with posture
and then make a slow decline back to how we started…in the “C” curve.

PS. Age with poor posture can make one’s appearance in some cases, look older
than reality and one who ages with good posture most often appears younger than
their age which also helps with positive reinforcement of YOU.

Take it slow, undoing the forward leaning posture by a backwards stretch on a
fitness ball, little by little, it will also stretch out your whole body giving it many other
countless gems of health.

Since your body tempurature drops to it’s lowest while you sleep, doing what you can to help it out will increase your chances of falling asleep and remaining there.

Research is divided whether the drop in body tempurature is the reason you go to sleep or a by product of minimizing movement, in either case, keeping the room cool and slowing things down, is your way of helping the process.

Good Luck!

If you have a dream – don’t let go.

If you have a plan and things seem to get in the way – don’t let go.

If your sight gets clouded, remember you still have your vision – don’t let go.

It is your life – don’t ever let go.

Your time with?

Whomever they are…are you appreciating them or just spending time with them?

Chances are, the ones we spend the most time with…we also take for granted.

Why? Because whatever we do on a repeated basis, goes into our subconscious, so we don’t have to think about things that are repetitive, saving our conscious thoughts for things that are new.

But that leaves the ones we spend the most time with get the “short end of the stick”.

So let’s intervene the process that comes naturally and be thoughtful and appreciate the ones we spend most of our time with – it will make our experience and “theirs” that much better.

Brand?

You can say your brand is this or that, but…

A brand is what people think of you, or what you are all about, and not what you think of yourself.

So is the brand you give yourself, the same as the brand that others would give you, or is there a bit of a gap.

You will know, if you stop and ponder it for a bit.

And you may have to widen the gap or close it up.
