I Love The Kind Of Hug

Hugging
Did you know that hugs:
Can instantly boost oxytocin levels, which heal feelings of loneliness, isolation, and anger.
Lift one’s serotonin levels, elevating mood and creating happiness.
Strengthen the immune system. The gentle pressure on the sternum stimulates the thymus gland, which regulates and balances the body’s production of white blood cells, which keep you healthy and disease free.
Relaxes muscles. Hugs release tension in the body. Hugs can take away pain; they soothe aches by increasing circulation into the soft tissues.
Balance out the nervous system. The galvanic skin response of someone receiving and giving a hug shows a change in skin conductance. The effect in moisture and electricity in the skin suggests a more balanced state in the nervous system – parasympathetic.

Discontent Is Good For Sales

Discontent Is Good For Sales
You either live your own, self-originated life or you run on automatic and live the life according to that in which your parents, your peers, your siblings, chance or happenstance or “the system” moves you along the stream.
Take a time-out and sit down to determine what it is that makes you feel most alive, how best you like helping others. It has been said that our highest ability is to help and when that is gone, so are we.
I was listening recently to a lecture and learned that we are most slive in the area of our talents.
And from another speaker I learned that it is not just sports and arts that are areas of talent. Our talents are what we do well that others find difficult.
So make a list of your talents!
Do more of that!
Practice it more often.
Improve your ability in that area.
Get REALLY good at it!
Get SO good at it you could make you living either doing, teaching or coaching others to do that.
Floating down the stream of life may not require effort but it will most likely lead you to places you do not wish to be.
Carving out the life you will most enjoy takes time, effort, discipline and sacrifice of things that you probably won’t miss if you are doing what you love to do.
And another important point.
Whenever you start an activity you will have zero or close to zero confidence in your ability.
That is normal and to be expected.
Recall if you learned how to ride a bike, you were probably petrified when it came to your first time on a two wheeler.
So much so that you insisted your dad hold the seat for you until you felt ready.
The important lesson here is FIRST you DO.
THEN you acquire COMPETENCE.
ONLY THEN do you aquire CONFIDENCE!
Do the action uintil you aquire a high level of competence and you will feel extremely coinfident.
Ever seen a really confident athlete or musician?
Boy do they sometimes come across as cocky!
And boy do they make a lot of money!
This is so true that money could be said to be an idea backed by confidence.
So it is out-sequence (illogical) to expect you should feel confident about something you have never tried or at which you have not done a lot.
Don’t fall into that trap!

For When You Stop Preaching To The Choir

Have you ever been in the unhappy situation of having tried to communicate your understanding of an issue to another person and had them refuse to look at what you are pointing out?

The key phrase in the preceding question is “refuse to look”.

Just read a brilliant article that explains why many (most?) people have difficulty communicating their observations to others.

And that is that some people (the few) look and some people (the many) follow orders.

Because the order follower does not observe for himself, he relies on received orders to tell him what to think, do and with what to agree. Celebrity endorsements, pronouncements form men in white coats: “my doctor told me”, “science says” or “the head of the government says” all need to be heeded because they emanate from “an authority”.

Never mind that the reason the person is in authority may be because they told more lies and promised to give away more of the other guy’s money to groups of which you are a member (politicians) or they may be scientists in the pay of special interest groups or doctors who make money if you follow their recommendations.

When an observer endeavours to communicate his observations to an order follower, if the observations contradict the order follower’s orders, the observations are rejected. Full stop. End of story.

This is the mechanism by which tyranny and authoritarianism reigns over the masses.The authoritarian influences merely by making definite statements and giving orders to the indoctrinated.

So here’s something with which to experiment. Instead of conversationally beating your head against a brick wall, try asking these questions:

What data do you have on the subject?
From where did you get that data?
If I could show you that data was incorrect or inaccurate or incomplete, would you be prepared to change your mind on the subject?

If they say no to that and you had time on your hands you could always ask their reason for holding fast to their false data.

Doctor Keeps License

Doctor Keeps License
Dr Stanislaw Burzynski Defeats Texas Medical Board Charges
On March 3, 2017 the Texas Medical Board (TMB) decided the fate of Dr. Burzynski and the Burzynski Clinic based on the most recent set of “charges” against Burzynski.
Dr. Burzynski kept his medical license.
The Judge’s “Finds Of Fact” stated: “Respondent’s continued practice in treating advanced cancer patients is a present value to the cancer community,” and “Respondent’s treatments have saved the lives of cancer patients, both adults and children, who were not expected to live.”
Once the TMB lawyers realized their case to revoke his medical license was falling apart, they then proposed he pay a $360,000.00 fine. This was reduced to $60,000.
Of the few charges the TMB lawyers managed to succeed in, were related to “improper book keeping” and “improper billing”, human mistakes that occur at all hospitals and clinics big and small.
The TMB ordered Dr. Burzynski to attend “continuing education” with a focus on “ethics”. In the words of Mr. Steve Siegel (video below), “is it your intention to have him [Burzynski] teach the class?”
For now, this is yet another successful chapter in the Burzynski saga and the establishment’s failed attempt to stop Burzynski from continuing to treat cancer patients.

She Was Sick Of Being Photoshopped, So She Did This

Colbie Caillat is a Grammy award winning artiste and she is sick of being photoshopped. She is so sick of being photoshopped that she decided to use her most respected talent of singing to promote natural beauty.
She then released a music video for the song featuring a host of beautiful women. The video shows the opposite of what society considers a transformation and it’s beautiful to watch. I recommend that you check out the video if you haven’t already.
