And still we do it. As soon as yes leaves our lips somewhere in us we hear a voice that screams NO. Don t do it. but somehow another part of us kicks in and our mind overrules the wisdom of our body and we find ourselves on a path we never intended. Sometimes these wrong turns can be detrimental to our wellbeing. They cause stress and put us in danger of losing ourselves indefinitely. Other times we immediately realize our yes has led to an o-oh and we decide right then and there to go back to the beginning and start again. Either way, when you find yourself in a sticky situation, only you have the power to declare you took a wrong turn and only you can decide when it s time to get back on track. These tips may help. Be honest with yourself. Admit, as quickly as possible, you made a choice that led you down the wrong path. Nothing will change until you personally acknowledge the decision you made isn t working for you. The sooner, the better. Be willing to take 100 responsibility for the choices you make for your life. Plan an exit strategy. Once you ve admitted to yourself you re on the wrong path, decide how you re going to get back...

Do they think about death. Do they think about chemotherapy and other medical treatments. What would you think of first if you found out you had cancer. For me, I ve already decided that if I ever do get cancer, I will not seek out the conventional medical cancer interventions and treatments that are the society standard today. I ve decided I will seek a natural route, one that does not involve chemotherapy and the destruction of my healthy cells as well as cancer cells. I ve decided I will seek a treatment that does not weaken me physically, but rather helps to empower and strengthen my body. This decision has come to me over my lifetime, and personally seeing relatives suffer through this type of treatment, only to quickly deteriorate, and in my opinion, die a faster, more painful death than if they d had not treatment at all. Dramatic statement, I know, but nonetheless, this is my opinion. I do not know what natural therapy or lifestyle changes I would actually choose if I were in that position, but I do know this is how I would choose to fight my battle, and I would hope that with some prompted research, the natural choice would...

Brewing beer is incredibly simple. You can of course make it as complex as you want depending on how much control you want over the flavors, or if you truly want to start from scratch, using the most basic ingredients. But for the beginner, starting with extract kits, it s really a breeze. If you can bake a cake you can definitely succeed at home brewing. That really isn t an overstatement. Although producing great tasting beer is very easy to do, it wouldn t be very effective to try to explain to you all the steps involved in an article. Instead, I m going to give you some tips that I learnt early on that made my life easier. The two most basic categories of beer are Ales, and Lagers. Ales are generally more prone to fruity notes e.g. bannana, pear, apple, raspberry whereas lagers are are normally crisper, cleaner tasting. A question commonly asked by beginner brewers is: What should I choose for my first beer. For beginners, my usual reply is start with an Ale . Brewing an Ale is the best choice for a beginner because they are quite simply less complicated to learn on. Of course if you really have your heart set on a lager for your...

Whether it s called stress management, relaxation training, or its newest incarnation, Resiliancy, it seems that the question of healthy response to the stress of daily life is on everyone s mind. But it s important to remember a few things about stress that are rarely discussed if known at all. 1 Stress won t hurt you. Hans Selye, the father of stress was a polylinguist, whose first language was not English. Before he died, he said that, had his command of English been more precise, he would have been known as the Father of Strain rather than stress. What s the difference. Enormous, from an engineering standpoint. Stress is pressure divided by unit area, whereas strain is measured in deformation per unit length. In other words, while strain speaks to the load you are carrying, strain deals with the degree to which that load warps you out of true. In other words, it is NOT stress that hurts you. It is strain. 2 Stress is necessary for life and growth. Far from being something you avoid, when healthy, the body and mind respond to environmental stress by becoming stronger. Look at this in the arena of physical fitness. Imagine a...
