Cinnamon and Honey

Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or go bad. It will do what some call turning to sugar. In reality, honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I rather call ‘crystallizing’ when this happens I loosen the lid, boil some water and sit the honey container in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes in the honey. Keeping a jar of honey in the sun will bring it back to its original liquid state.



Facts on honey and cinnamon – Bet the drug companies will not like this one getting around. It is found that a mixture of honey and cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a ‘Ram Ban’ (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases.



Today’s science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients. Weekly world news, a magazine in Canada, in its issue dated 17 January 1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists.





HEART DISEASE

Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. In addition, those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they will be kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heartbeat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and are clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.

The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them."

"One must talk little and listen much." African Proverb "A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he knows something." Wilson Mizner "The reason why so few people are agreeable in conversation is that each is thinking more about what he intends to say than about what others are saying, and we never listen when we are eager to speak." Francois La Rochefoucauld "I like to listen.I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen." Ernest Hemingway "No one ever listened themselves out of a job." Calvin Coolidge "He understands badly who listens badly." Welsh Proverbs "One of the best ways to persuade others is with your ears - by listening to them." Dean Rusk "Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk." Doug Larson "Speak your truth quietly & clearly; and listen to others, even the dull & ignorant; they too have their story." Max Ehrmann, from Desiderata

"Listening to your heart, finding out who you are, is not simple. It takes time for the chatter to quiet down. In the silence of "not doing" we begin to know what we feel. If we listen and hear what is being offered, then anything in life can be our guide. Listen."

Have you ever had a conversation with someone where you realized that they were looking at you while you were talking but were not really listening? Nobody likes that feeling, but the truth is that most of us are better talkers than listeners. So if we want to work on our communication skills, we can take the initiative to start with our own listening skills.

    

The art of listening has a lot to do with the difference between hearing what someone is saying and actually paying full attention to what they are saying. What we simply hear can very easily come in one ear and go out the other, but when we really focus on listening to what the other person is saying, something physiological happens to us. We may register that information physically, emotionally, or intellectually! That is because when that information captures our attention, we involve ourselves with the information that is being shared with us.

  

  I would like to share some tips for becoming a better listener. The first tip is that when someone else is talking to us, it is important not to interrupt them. It is true that we all have our stories to tell, but when we are listening to someone else talk it should be about them, not about us. So, the next time you are listening and have the urge to interrupt them, take a breath and refocus your attention on the other person. You just might learn something important, and at the very least the person you are with will appreciate your attentiveness.

   

 The next tip to being a good listener is to abstain from holding judgment. The minute our judgment kicks in, our listening usually stops. That is because it is hard to pay attention when we become preoccupied with our personal opinion over what we are hearing. Moreover, putting aside our judgment puts the other person at ease and helps them feel more comfortable and relaxed, so that they can be open and honest with us.

    

By becoming a good listener ourselves, we set an example for those around us and create a better opportunity for ourselves to be heard. And on a side note, one of the better benefit of being a good listener is that when we apply these principles to listening to our own inner voice, we gain access to a world of wisdom all our own.

    

'Into each life a little rain must fall'

There is an old adage that is very apropos to the time we are living right now "Into each life a little rain must fall."  most of us realize that life brings some difficulties and hard times, and no doubt, we have all been tightening our belts for a while now, I know I have.

    

However, looking back at history, hard times are a reality in our world. Just in the past century alone, people were forced to resort to extraordinary measures to stay afloat. Consider the Great Depression in the 30s or the economic measures taken during the World War II with rationing and the national calls to support the war effort. (I was not born then)

    

Today, people have been feeling both the crunch of rising prices, shrinking budgets and the threat of a worldwide weak economy. Yet, like past generations, there are always things we can do on our own to exercise some control to reduce our costs and stretch our money further.

    

For example, we can consider ways to cut back on our electricity and water consumption. Simple things like turning off lights when you leave a room, using water-conserving shower heads, and only running your dishwasher or washing machine with a full load, can cut utility costs while conserving water and energy at the same time. A little conservation is a good practice for all of us. It is good to be conscious of what we need and what we use.

    

We can also save gas by combining errands or planning them so that we make a circuit rather than zooming back and forth from one place to the next. We can revisit our cable package and cell phone plan in an effort to trim down the costs. Another suggestion is to forgo an expensive evening out in exchange for special evening at home with a favorite DVD rental and home cooked meal. Please feel free to check

Readers, I just want to remind you of the small things that can be done to help weather our economic storm, while still enjoying the day to day. I hope these suggestions prove helpful. If you have any of your own, that you would like to share, please feel free to comment. These are good times for sharing resources.

You've got options

 I am sure you've heard the old adage, "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Personally, I believe this is wonderful advice. After all, there is not one of us who has not found ourselves at some point in time in an uncomfortable situation or facing some crisis. The question is what we do when faced with such things that can make or break us.

    

Whether your difficult situation involves a frustrating coworker, a financial issue, sudden job loss, a family squabble or some other crisis, remind yourself that you have options. Your options are how you choose to view and respond to the situation that is going on around you.

    

When bad things happen, it may feel like the wind has been knocked out of us. However, the best thing we can do is to accept the situation for what it is and to start looking at our options. Are there aspects we can control? If so, what steps should we take to do that. By taking stock of the problem at hand, figuring out what you can do about it, and letting go of the parts you have no control over, you are far more likely to come up with a positive solution that can reduce any negative impact and leave you feeling empowered as well.

    

When life gets really challenging, it is time to start looking for what there is to learn. And one obvious thing is that we do not want to find ourselves in such a situation in the future, if that is at all possible. We should ask ourselves if there is anything we did that somehow contributed to the situation. Even if the message is, "Just don't do this again," you have learned something useful.

    

Once you realize you have learned something valuable from a seemingly difficult situation you can use that knowledge to better your future, by taking steps to prevent a repeat incident, avoiding the people who constantly cause problems and/or changing your own behavior when and if such situations come up again.

Accepting the fact that challenging situations will occur and finding ways to adjust our own behavior so that we change what we can, and take steps to help us avoid such problems in the future, we turn negative situations into positive ones and enrich our lives in the process

I believe this was helpful to someone as so many of us are going through challenging situations.

You know what they say about all work and no play

A number of scientific studies have shown that all work and no play isn't good for your mental, physical or emotional wellbeing. But that said, trying to balance work and fun could be one of the toughest things to do. It is not surprising when you think about it. From the time we are young, we are taught that doing a good job is important and that working hard will help us get ahead in life. As a result, many of us put too much time into work and too little into play. The good news is that you can actually train yourself to spend more time on having fun, which in the end greatly benefits your health.

   

 Creating a balance between work and play usually involves an increase in leisure time, a process that may be easier than you think. I can show you very easily. Just take out a sheet of paper and draw a line down the middle to divide it in half. On one side of the page, list all the work and chores you do each day. On the other side of the page, list the things you currently do just for fun. You will be surprised to see how hard you work and how little time you spend on healthy, fun and leisurely activities.

   

 The next goal is to balance every work item or chore with something enjoyable. These activities don't have to be a minute-by-minute exchange. They can be small things like a few minutes of stretching, 15 minutes of meditation, a short walk around the block, working on a favorite hobby, or participating in some group activity. The idea is to get away from the grind so that you will have more space to breathe and enjoy the day. If you keep working toward balancing your list, over time you will find it much easier to create the leisure time that is so vital to your mind, body and spirit.

Creating a better balance between work and play times will do wonders for your health and you will actually enjoy life more. After all, our main reason for working is to create a better and more pleasant life!

    Hope you will try my exercise.

Your Attitude - Make it your greatest asset

Attitude is an inward feeling expressed by outward behavior. We project on the outside what we feel on the inside. Some people try to mask their attitude, they can fool others for a while and that cover up does last for a while. Nevertheless it will eventually wiggle its way out.

Attitude is not everything. Many people say Attitude is all you need to be successful - wrong. Personally, i have Learned in this Life that it takes more than attitude to be successful.

If attitude were everything then the only thing that separates me from a successful acting career will be the belief that I can act. However, there is another factor that stands in my way - Talent & Skill.

Lesson - Positive Attitude + Talent & Skill = Successful life.

These are what we need to succeed in life.

No attitude can compensate for lack of skill and talent. Attitude is not everything but is one thing that can make a huge difference in your life.

THE POSSIBILITIES FOR TOMORROW ARE USUALLY BEYOND OUR EXPECTATIONS.

The beginning of success is not always a response to an unexpected opportunity. More often than not, it is about working hard and thinking in fresh, new ways to create opportunity!

Find your space, your spot. Wear what you love. Choose the careers that may have meaning to you, because there is always somebody who will say, ‘I wouldn’t have worn that color.’ However, if you are comfortable in the choice and it resonates with you, then all that other stuff – it is just conversation.
