What's important, though, is the process by which you attain your ultimate goal. That is what will generate your passion.

•Live Positively

Try to focus on positive things, and do not dwell on the negative. Try to Recall your accomplishments and good deeds. Doing this will help keep you positive, and keep your spirit up. If you constantly remind yourself of your mistakes, you will find it harder to succeed down the road, and your mind, body, and soul will work against you.


•Don't worry Be Happy

You’ve heard of finding your “happy place” right? This form of meditation helps you take your mind and spirit to a comfortable place that fills you with happiness. This is an ideal thing to do when you are in the middle of a stressful day at work or with the kids; it provides the perfect opportunity to regroup.


•Be an agent of change.

Nothing beats life change. Plan a vacation, even if it is just for a weekend. Nothing does the body, mind, and soul better than a little change of scenery. Go where you will be happy, and be able to let loose and have some fun. Try it on your own. It might sound scary, but you will be surprised at how relaxed and refreshed you will be after a weekend all to yourself!


•Try some daily affirmations.

Pick three things that you can say out loud in the mirror that will help you stay centered, positive, and focused. Saying something often enough has the power to make it true for you.

Three basic affirmations that you can work from include

“I am going to successful and secure.”

“God gives me everything that I need.”


“My income will going to increase.”

Ways to eliminate sunburn

Low Cost Ways to Soothe the Sting of Sunburn

You want to go to beach but you don't want to get burned. Most of us likely has at least memory of nasty sunburn. Whether experienced personally, or by your closest family member or friend, and the symptoms are likely to include anything from red,white hot skin – either tender or painful to touch, dehydration, blistering and flaking or peeling of the skin.

And anyone who has experienced bad sunburn will surely get, and the amount of time and your effort spent causing the sunburn, is largely disproportionate to the length of time that can be spent suffering the consequences of it's effects. In this respect, it depends on the severity of burning, -- pain and discomfort can persist for several days after the event, as the body works to heal and recover from the unprotected UV exposure.

Unless the symptoms becomes severe.

5 simple home remedies without spending money

1. Water: - Soak youin a cool bath is one of the best ways to draw heat from the skin and soothe the pain and discomfort of sunburn. Avoid cold water.

Here are some additional things to add to your baths for further relief:

a. Add 10 drops of so of essential oil (chamomile or lavender) to the bath. Soak for 15 minutes or until relief is felt.

b. Adding baking soda (or oatmeal) to a lukewarm bath can also relieve sunburn pain. This treatment to work best, try to make sure that all affected areas are submerged. Bath water can be poured over your body using your hands or a soft washcloth. Burned facial areas can be gently dabbed using the cloth, or alternately you can splash water directly onto your face. After soaking, lightly pat the skin dry with a soft towel (preferably cotton). If you’ve take an oatmeal bath, let the light coating of oatmeal that clings to your skin remain.

c. Adding vinegar to the bath water will help in taking the sting out of sunburn.

2. Sugarcane Extract: - Because it evaporates so quickly, dabbing on rubbing alcohol will quickly cool and ease the pain of sunburned skin.

3. Vinegar: - an effective and cooling treatment for sunburn. Soak some towels with it, and apply it to the burned areas. Alternately you can fill a spray bottle and spray it directly on the skin as needed.

4. Yoke : - If you burn in painfully hot, separating the white from the yolk of an egg, and then spreading the white over the affected area will help to cool the burning instantly. This can be repeated as often as needed.

5. Potatoes: - Potatoes can also be used to relieve the pain of sunburn. Take 2 potatoes and wash them well. Cut them into tiny chunks and place in a blender to liquefy. (If the result appears too dry, add some water). Pat the affected areas with potato juice. Wait until dry, and then rinse off in a cool shower or bath.

Remember that as well as causing varying degrees of discomfort and pain, repeated sun exposure and sunburn also accelerates the aging process and can increase the risk of cataracts and skin cancer. Prevention therefore should also always be considered more preferable than treatment!

These are home remedy tips only, and should not replace your regular health care provider.

If sunburn persists, please seek the appropriate health care assistance.

Importance of Water Conservation

One of the great values I learned in our CWTS class is the Importance of Water Conservation
And then I was able to watch "Rango" movie, I was more enlightened about water conservation. Now I would like to share Green living tips from the Nestlé Club

There are a lot of ways to save water, and they all start with us!

• Conserve water in the kitchen


• If you wash dishes by hand, fill one half of the sink with soapy water and the other with clean water instead of letting the water run.


• Wash your fruits and vegetables in a pan of water instead of running water from the tap.


• Water your houseplants with water saved from washing your fruits and vegetables or even when you clean your fish tank!


• Thaw foods in the refrigerator or in a bowl of hot water instead of using running water.


• Designate one glass for your drinking water each day or refill a water bottle. This will cut down on the number of glasses to wash.


• Let your pots and pans soak instead of letting the water run while you clean them.


• Conserve water in the bathroom


• Drop your tissue in the trash instead of flushing it.


• One way to cut down on water use is to turn off the shower after soaping up, then, turn it back on to rinse. A four-minute shower uses approximately 20 to 40 gallons of water.


• Turn the faucet off while you shave, brush your teeth and lather up your hands.


• Conserve water indoors


• Wash only full loads in your washing machine, or adjust the water level to reflect the size of the load.


• Pay attention to your water bill and become familiar with your water meter—use them to track your water use and detect leaks.


• Fix leaky plumbing fixtures, faucets and appliances in the house.


• Show children how to turn off the faucets completely after each use.


• Washing dark clothes in cold water saves water and energy while helping your clothes to keep their colors.


• Conserve water outdoors


• For hanging baskets, planters and pots, place ice cubes under the moss or dirt to give your plants a cool drink of water and help eliminate water overflow.


• Wash your pets outdoors in an area of your lawn that needs water.


• Report broken pipes, open hydrants and errant sprinklers to the property owner or your water provider.


• Water your lawn only when needed.


• Don’t over-water your plants. Learn how much water they need and how best to apply just the right amount

Recommended Spiritual Activities

Do you pray to God?

Luckily for me there’s always been that curiosity of what’s out there in the alternative world including the alternative therapies. I’ve tried many of them over the years and will continue to do so, all in the hope I can make things better for my body, mind and spirit.



I am aware now that what my work for me may not work for someone else, so the message is to keep trying until you find something that will really suit your needs.



There were many times I’ve been told they’ve tried everything. What is everything? What it is actually boiled down to you could count on one hand. It’s worthwhile to keep searching, you may find that your world expands in a most amazing is the way by the making of new friendship and camaraderie and picking up useful skills for your ‘self-healing’ tool-kit.

So what do I do when I’ve reached nirvana and need some direction or could do with some healing?



Listed below 5 basic points that have helped to lift my spirit and with practice will also help yours, I also went to Angeles to learn this things.



1. Meditation! Mantra Meditation is one of the greatest self healing tools available and costs nothing except a little of your own time! There are many meditation techniques out there, you can find one that suits you and begin.

By putting this and some meditation music on and spending time in quiet contemplation it can soothe your soul and reconnect you with the highest aspect of yourself upto the impersonal brhaman.

do you also like smaelling incense?



2.Aromatherapy and Essential Oils.

Rebalance and rejuvenate your spirit through blending a selection of essential oils together in an aromatherapy oil burner. I’ve found the following blend works extremely well when there’s a need for nurturing, support and healing:

Approximately an hour before retiring to bed place a few drops of the following in an aromatherapy oil burner with some water (for safety’s sake, extinguish the flame before lights that are turned off for the night):

here are the ingredients;



4 drops Jasmine

4 drops Rose

4 drops Neroli

3 drops Lavender

3 drops Bergamot

The smell divine! I use this one every now and again and not only sleep like a baby but anxiety and stress disappears, and feels like the weight of the world has lifted from my shoulders by the following morning! (If you have a small bedroom you might like to half the amount of drops)



3.Fresh Breathe! Stand with feet a shoulder-length apart. Take 3 real slow and deep breaths using your diaphragm muscles. Breathe in and out through the nose, and breathe out through slightly parted lips. And as you do these imagine you’re inhaling your personal power, filling every cell in your body, from your diaphragm up to the top of your head.

Be your personal power and notice how much taller, straighter and stronger you become. Repeat the steps above.

4. Be in the Present Moment. Take a few deep breaths and focus totally on this moment, right now.

If you’re reading a book or magazine, or even this article, totally focus on the words and take in their meaning. There is only you and this article now in the present moment.

If you’re in the workplace, focus totally on the task at hand, and only this task, and what you must do in order to complete it. Nothing else matters except you and the task at hand.

5. Set an intention. When I’m on the lookout for something new and useful for me, I set my intention on what it is I’m after.

For example, I may want to find a book that will give me answers in regards to directing me to another healing modality or skill.

I then meditate on this intention, give it a timeframe then open my heart to it. Lo and behold I will have a book in my hand in no time at all! I love the power of intention – I also use intention for getting a parking space when I go shopping!

These days I rarely get sick and when I do and have a medical checkup, doctors tell me I’m actually very healthy (surely they can find something so I can get some sympathy around here!) which also includes blood test results.

I still do sadness and unhappiness well (I’m still human) though neither lasts long whereas in the past it would last many days sometimes weeks. What lasts much longer is a peaceful state.

When using the 5 points above, my spirit lifts and life once again becomes more peaceful and joyful.
