Would it not be nice to have the feeling of gratitude twenty-four hours a day? Not just the idea or thought, but that feeling of gratitude that makes so many burdens easier to face. Unfortunately, we tend to evaluate others and ourselves continually in our search for better things, better places, and better people. We have these human tendencies. Maybe being human has something to do with it? We think comparatively. We need to be aware non-value and negative things in order to be aware of and have feelings about what we do have.
Here is the story about an Olympic level athlete who is training as usual for world competition, which they do all those years between the Olympic competitions. She can be of any event because that doesn’t matter in this story. They all must train diligently in focused sometimes-painful practice all of the time pushing and enduring to their maximum. They constantly check their improvement. Maintaining their health in every possible way is a must. They check their food nutrients and calorie intake constantly. They are pursuing excellence.
Sometimes there are days that for one reason or another every trivial activity seems to have a burdensome feeling attached. Wondering why, I shrug and think or rather know that it probably has more to do with my attitude. But of course in the moment that helps me not. I remembered a story someone told me about a guy who busying himself weeding and taking care of a vegetable garden, carries on and when he rests later he knows that the weeds and bugs will still be at work against his efforts.
I received a few queries into more information about the article '4 Reasons Why Self Improvement Activities Do Not Work; What To Do About It.' So I will elaborate more on this area. Recent questions for the most part seemed to want more explaining in the area of motivation. I noticed that I only gave a summary statement and overview in my article as to certain points and areas, usually with a simple statement or a few sentences. The problem I am noticing that wants more explaining is when I wrote that a person may not be truly motivated;.
While reading something about the subject of spirituality and 'a God of our understanding', something of a cognition sparked to my mind. Of what importance, significance, value is it that the conception is complete and flawlessly all-encompassing? Surely, the desire to mindfully detail the architecture of a conception is human nature in varying degrees; the desire to explain and understand.
Imagination is everything; it is a preview of life’s coming attractions. Albert Einstein.
There are many reasons why we fail to feel good about ourselves. Throughout each day many daily conce s and personal thoughts can lead us into having a good day or a bad one. A lot has to do with how we may be feeling about ourselves. Am I doing the right things. Am I doing what I ought to be doing. Should I be doing this or that. What am I thinking about today? Personal acceptance is the key. At times wanting and desiring perfection or better drives us to a state of inner turmoil. I have noticed that feeling uneasy and incomplete can be a bad thing or a good thing.
Learning some information about vitamins does not have to be difficult and it is useful to know simple information about some vitamins that we eat and consume everyday. If you use or are considering supplementing with vitamins find some resources where you can begin to understand some of the benefits about what you want to take or how you may or may not benefit from them. Remember a balanced diet of good nutrients is the first way to get your nutritional and dietary needs met. Above all learning some things about anything you consume is always the most important thing to do.
How we take care of our bodies relies in large part by what foods, nutrients,vitamins or supplements we put in. Of course equally valuable to be conce ed about depending on our lifestyle must be to recognize our unhealthy intake habits, like alcohol, caffeine,fried foods, nicotine and tobacco, excess use of over the counter drugsand purely fattening foods and useless calories. Being aware of the unhealthy choices we practice is the first step at being able to augment unhealthy choices with foods or supplements that can reduce (not distinguish) the unhealthy aspects of those too.
By G.Thomasr Why is the practice of Father's Day not only an annual ritual but is also a fundamentally essential component to a healthy functional family? The value of parenting and traditional values taught are not only beneficially to the individual family, but to a societies interactions as a large interwoven mosaic of cultures and backgrounds. The invaluable function of providing for family physically,emotionally,spiritually or intellectually transcends any monetary figure.
Lists are everywhere. We see blogs and ezines even television and music and almanacs. Why do we need them and want them? They may seem bogus at times and completely without some kind of foundation, mostly derived from a basis of opinion rather than any kind of actual statistical fact or figure. But so why the attraction? It can be a way of validating our personal opinions or at least giving ourselves recourse to disagree and even condemn the opinions of others.
by G.Thomas This is in response to many questions I am getting from readers about how they can write or include in their blogs, stories that will keep their readers attention and response. Foremost it is true that content is king. If you cannot think of why or how your information can be useful to others then you are writing to yourself.
