Each moment we live is a chance to be mindful......

Hi
How did being a little more mindful work for you? It worked for me and has also made me a follower of mindfulness.

More tips to assist you along the way:

1. Stress-proof your brain-
stress is at the root of most of our problems..

2. Don't be as mindset as formerly-loosen up and listen to other ideas-be more open minded.

3. Mindfulness is a way of living, not just a practice. You will have more caring and awareness
in everything that you do

4. Anyone can learn to be mindful-it does not require you to change your beliefs and there will be     benefits.

5. In our complex world we need  mindfulness.

6. Think about times that you are most mindful.

Have a great week-and be mindful...Hippo

Who am I? I hardly know.....

When Alice fell down the rabbit hole -the Caterpillar approached her and ask her "who" she was?
She replied "I hardly know".

How is your "mindfulness" coming along?    I have been practicing.....

Each moment we live is a chance to be mindful and it is so important to be living in the present. That moment will never be repeated again. These are some of the tips that have helped me in the process.

1. Smile in public-you will feel better-energy exchange

2. Notice the position of your body while you are walking or sitting

3. Eat mindfully-think about what folks had to do to grow and produce this food

4. Take a deep relaxing breath now and again and soon it will become a habit.

5. Notice when you are entering a new space or when the hallway will end or turn.

If you practice these tips, you will be on your way to living mindfully.

Make a great week...........  Chat with you next week,,,,, Hippo

Wellness tips from Hippo:


1. Calories count , but do not count them.

2. Eat protein every meal and snack.

3. Always eat before you are hungry.

4. Drink water and other healthy fluids -your weight in pounds divided by 2 = ounces of liquid.

5. Eat good fat every meal.

6. Be active as you can be...

Drink your way to Brain Health

Good nutritious drinks -
water also in moderation....
milk included
Your brain can become dehydrated and that can decrease your ability to
think
and impair your judgement.

Read a classic....even if you read it years ago...

Brain activity has been  monitored whilst reading pieces by the classic authors and far more
electrical activity occurs at that time. The scientists were able to study each word being read and noticed how the monitor lit up upon unusual words or surprising phrases or difficult sentence structure.This shifted the brain into higher gear. Poetry is a great medium also for brain stimulation.So the classics are extremely useful. They act like rocket boosters for the brain.

Clarity or Confusion?

Life is full of choices.You must be 100 % responsible for your own clarity. Many people have self defeating attitudes.
The word"decide"means to make a decision. At this time you must be careful to consider the options and then make the choice of your direction. Soe people tend to fret over their decision after it has been made-it will lead to confusion . If you were the head of an expedition and floundered as such while leading a group to a destination that would be a great disadvantage to all concerned. If you have researched your material available  pre-making a decision, you have probably made a correct choice.
Some people are not very good at creating clarity but they are excellent at maintaining confusion.

Take charge and make good choices......
