Top 3 Goals to Make You INSTANTLY Healthier

1.  Take a brisk walk/jog at six in the morning (or when you can).  Watch the sunrise.  This will bring the following results.

• Oxygen to the brain:  Cobwebs clear out and there is a sudden clarity of thought.
• Your body has a morphine-like chemical that releases within, like a “natural high”-endorphins. You feel as if on mood enhancing drugs.
• While outdoors and viewing the sunrise (or sunset) you’ll connect with nature.  The beauty, miraculous order, and intricacy of the natural world is a metaphor for perfect human functioning; with complete self acceptance-here and now-nothing to improve or change.   Have you ever seen a discontented tree?  Or a dog chastising himself for not catching the ball?

2.  Laugh:  It reverses your perspective; your mood from what’s-the-use to motivated, opened to new solutions.

• Humor hits when there is a sudden unexpected switch–truth revealed, cut through the B.S.  Someone else knows what   it’s like out there in the trenches.

3.  Breathe:  Use this biofeedback method – it evens out your heart rate, greatly slows down your rate of breathing, and increases your body temperature, causing stress to melt away.

• Stop all you are doing and sit or lie down in a comfortable position
• Using belly breathing (feel your belly to be sure you are), slowly inhale for the count of 2, naturally and gently.
• Breathe out gently, slowly, while counting to four.  Again, use belly not chest breathing. Make sure the out breath is much longer than the in breath.
• Repeat above steps for 5 to 30 minutes while visualizing pleasant scenes or listening to a soothing meditation recording or music
