Gratitude Walk
I have a very analytical mind which means it's running all the time analyzing every aspect of life. So when I need to excape my mind for a bit it's always good to do so with a walk. When I was younger if I was really upset or had a problem I would usually go for a walk and by the end of the walk I felt better or better yet I had a solution. Evidently there is some science behind focusing on the eviroment around you to engage your mind in a bit of focused meditation. But I am no scientist so I can only tell you my experience. I know when I would walk I would focus on the beat of the music and keeping that pace. When I would walk for long distances I would just focus on the beauty of nature around me to distract my body from how many more miles I had to go if my body was tired. These days walking is a daily thing I do to get my ideas together and come up with plans. Or even just to unload all the work stuff of the day. I prefer walks these days because it allows me to observe my enviroment more intently. It allows me to do what most people suggest but never do and that is to actually stop and smell the flowers, which is acutally quite lovely if you feel so inclined. Also I have my walks that are purely medatative and help me release stress and figure out my issues.

The Power Of Breath
Our breath. It’s a vital, automated bodily function. It’s the first thing we do when we‘re born and the last thing we do before we die. We repeat it over and over throughout our lifespan. Once we learn to regulate it, it offers us more than just an existence or survival. Utilising it‘s power can draw us into deeper states of ease whenever we need it.

Take a Walk
If I had the power to teleport myself to any open space in the middle of nature, a space away from the noisy street, overwhelming technology, to a space away from my problems…I would probably choose to teleport to an infinite green field in Switzerland. Unfortunately, my human ordinary self can’t do this, but I discovered an alternative practice that brings me the peace and quiet that my body and mind deserve.

Gym Etiquette
The gym, a land of iron and goal crushing potential. It can either be a comfort zone or the most terrifying place one could step into. Like many recreational places one can go to pass time and/or self improve, the gym has a certain set of etiquette rules that everyone should follow. This helps to make the environment more comfortable, workouts more efficient and reaching goals more enjoyable for everyone.

Diabetes Freedom
Diabetes is a growing problem in Western countries precisely because of our diet and lifestyle. Studies estimate that over 30 million Americans have diabetes with over 84 million Americans being pre-diabetic or undiagnosed. The Western way of living is filled with chemicals and toxins. They’re in everything from your food to your cleaning supplies; from your clothes to your grooming products; from your home décor to the air in your home, and even the “fresh” air outdoors is filled with pollutants. Experts have linked these toxins to the root cause of Type 2 Diabetes. These toxins form fatty deposits around your pancreas, resulting in horrible symptoms and/or a worsened condition. Unfortunately, it’s near impossible to avoid toxins completely as they’re everywhere but you can flush them out of your body. Doing so will boost your health, while also helping to combat Type 2 Diabetes at the root cause, which also eliminates the symptoms and potential risks associated with it.
