  Alex Shalman2008-04-14T13:56:29.983-05:0011 Odd but Simple Ways to Improve Your Health</h3><content type="html"><div id="write"><h7 class="write">Written on 4/14/2008 by <a href="http://jonathanmead.com/about/">Jonathan Mead</a> who writes about finding clarity and balance at <a href="http://jonathanmead.com/">jonathanmead.com</a>.</h7></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.oprah.com/health/oz/oz_20070426_350_106.jhtml"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_dH0q9hvpVHg/SAORYLdnb6I/AAAAAAAABo8/mt2qr7WU2HM/s320/neti.png" alt="neti" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189151040240840610" title="Dr. Oz Offers Neti Pot Pointers" border="0" /></a><br />Each year there are thousands of new articles and books aimed at helping you lose weight and stay in shape. Most of these only focus on the cornerstones of good health: diet and exercise. Same message, new words right?<br /><br />Well, there is no mistaking the fact that diet and exercise are crucial to your existence. However, what if you want to go deep? What if you want to do something radical to shake up a monotonous healthy routine?<br /><br />Instead of just getting by, this list will get you started with some uncommon ways that you can help you go above and beyond to create total health.<br /><ol><li><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Try using Neti pots</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;">.</span> This <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_irrigation#Jala_Neti">age old</a> nasal rinse <a href="http://www.himalayaninstitute.org/NetiPot/NetiPotInstructions.aspx">technique</a> removes mucus and build up of pollution in the nasal passages. It also helps prevent respiratory tract infections, relieves allergies, colds, sinusitis and is beneficial in the treatment of headaches and migraines.<br /></li><br /><li><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;">Brushing your skin? </span>We all know that the skin is the largest organ in the body. It is <a href="http://www.proliberty.com/observer/20060215.htm">responsible</a> for one-fourth of the body's daily detoxification. When you do <a href="http://www.womenfitness.net/beauty/skin/skin_brushing_for_detox.htm">skin brushing</a>, you help your lymph system to clean itself of the toxins that collect in the lymph glands.<br /></li><br /><li><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Make fasting a regular habit.</span> Short and long term <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasts">fasts</a> <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=HBDL9EjOVPsC&pg=PA12&lpg=PA12&dq=benefit+of+fasting&source=web&ots=AZfQ041Yv_&sig=fKe0W24lLQTgnnEd4wgNALHLbJk&hl=en">can improve</a> health through detoxification and rejuvenation of the body. When the body is not using the majority of its energy for digestion, it is able to use its energy on healing and restoration. The digestive system is given a much needed rest while the body is able to detoxify. As always, you should consult a medical practitioner before attempting a fast.<br /></li><br /><li><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;">Use colon hydrotherapy.</span> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enema">Cleansing the colon</a> has many health benefits. It reduces the pressure in the abdominal area, reduces weight, expels parasites and helps promote regular elimination. Colonics helps restore normal muscle tone and removal of constipation. Water is absorbed through the colon which increases the volume of blood. The circulation of blood increases, resulting in greater bathing of the cells. This dilutes the toxins and helps flush them out.<br /></li><br /><li><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;">Breathe, you're alive. Breath is life. </span>We can live a long time without food or water, but without breath, we die in minutes. Proper breathing is one of the most important functions of good health. Yet we often breathe shallowly, due to improper posture, stress and other negative influences. In order to breathe properly, our breath should reach the bottom of our lungs. Practice 6 second breathing, 3 seconds on inhale, 3 seconds on exhale. More oxygen will start flowing through your body and you will begin to feel energized. Just by becoming conscious of our breathing, we can have a great impact on our well-being.<br /></li><br /><li><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;">Tai Chi walking.</span> Recent research has shown that <a href="http://www.webmd.com/content/pages/1/3079_883">walking may be better</a> for us than the more popular running. That's because physiologically we've adapted as hunter-gatherers (more like gatherer-hunters) to walk long distances. We spent the majority of our time walking, not running. <a href="http://www.egreenway.com/taichichuan/walk.htm">Tai Chi walking</a> can help us to take our walking a step further by learning how to adapt to a new way of walking whereby we gain energy with each step.<br /></li><br /><li><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;">Consider getting a new mattress.</span> New memory foam mattresses can help you get a better nights rest which improves your overall feeling of well being. Some of the benefits include, less soreness and stiffness in the morning, no irritating pressure points and a long lasting mattress.<br /></li><br /><li><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Buy Masai balance shoes.</span> Designed around the way you naturally walk on sand, these new shoes are designed to put less of a shock on the skeletal system. They are designed with a <a href="http://www.swissmasai.ie/Principle.aspx">unique spring level action</a> which helps to make your core strengthening muscles more active, which in turn helps to improve your posture.<br /></li><br /><li><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;">Improve your posture.</span> Poor posture results in shallow breathing, pain in the neck and back, and results in poor circulation of energy throughout the body. Here are a few tips to improve your posture:<br /><br /><ul><li>Sit towards the front of the chair. This will naturally cause you to sit up straight.</li><br /><li>Try using an exercise ball. Dare to be different, try using an exercise ball as a chair. You'll force yourself to sit up straight. =)</li><br /><li>Take breaks away from the desk. Prolonged <a href="http://www.dumblittleman.com/2008/01/improve-your-hunched-over-pc-posture.html">sitting in front of the computer</a> will cause your back to become tired more easily. It's also easier to keep your back straight standing, rather than sitting.<br /></li></ul></li><br /><li><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Bring more plants into your home and workplace</span>. We all know that plants turn carbon dioxide into oxygen. But did you know plants can also purify the air, removing harmful pollutants? Not only will the air you breathe be fresher, plants also naturally humidify the air reducing allergies and sinusitis. Plants have psychological benefits as well. We are happier, less stressed and more productive in a greener, more natural environment. If you don't have a little plant at your workstation, get one or two!<br /></li><br /><li><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Laugh every day!</span> Whoever said life has to be serious? <a href="http://www.umm.edu/features/laughter.htm">Studies</a> have shown that laughter decreases stress hormones and can act as a powerful muscle relaxer. Laughter can help you breathe deeper, strengthen your immune system, forget about pain and lower blood pressure. As they say, laughter is the best medicine.<br /></li></ol>- Jonathan<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-1980798-10536659" target="_top" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.verizon.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;"> Limited time offer: Sign up for the FiOS Triple Play and get a FREE Samsung i85 Digital Camera or a $200 Circuit City gift card </a>

Bohl</a>, the author of <a href="http://www.slowdownfast.com/">Slow Down Fast</a>.</h7></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/adc/25150693/"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_dH0q9hvpVHg/SANrG7dnb5I/AAAAAAAABo0/srLHm_icFNo/s320/business.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189108962446241682" border="0" /></a>If you have found a career you enjoy – one that makes you feel good about what you are doing, highlights your talents, and makes you happy about going to work in the morning, you have taken a huge step in the right direction. Most of us want a great career. Not necessarily one that pulls a six-figure income, but one that we find fulfilling.<br /><br />Now that you have your career, it is time to commit to excelling at it. The amount of enjoyment you receive from your career, in fact, will be largely determined by how much commitment you give it. There are several ways you can go about ensuring you are giving your career the level of commitment it deserves.<br /><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Work on Career Development:</span> Make time during your day to engage in activities that will increase your <a href="http://www.worklifemonitor.com/the_chaos_monitor/2008/01/job-numbers-got.html">success</a> at work. Read books or trade magazines relating to your career, learn the latest trends or newest technologies. Take classes, attend seminars or conferences, and do everything you can to build your expertise.<br /><br />Delve into the specifics of your chosen field. If there is one aspect you love more than the rest, make yourself an expert in that area and carve out a niche for yourself. Sometimes tackling the unusual and excelling at it can open the doors to possibilities you never before imagined. Once you have developed yourself as an expert, you will be amazed how many people will seek you out for assistance and advice.</li><br /><li><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Examine the Emotional Aspect of Your Career:</span> <a href="http://www.slowdownfast.com/blog/are-you-too-passive-at-your-job/">Stay tuned to your feelings</a> regarding the work you are doing. Discover the reasons why you find it appealing, take the time to enjoy the aspects of it you love or are proud of, and allow yourself the liberty to dislike those things that you find frustrating.<br /><br />Take time to actively think about your feelings as they relate to work. If it helps, keep a log or journal and write in it every day. Use your journal to acknowledge and then leave behind any negative emotions you may be experiencing about your job. Also take the time to write out all of the positive things you enjoy. When you are having a bad day, go back and read your positive entries as a source of inspiration or motivation.<br /><br />Somewhere in your journal, write down why you are glad you have your career, and all of the positive things it brings to your life. List your goals, so you can go back and use it as a reference.</li><br /><li><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;">Join a Professional Association: </span>If there is an association of professionals from your chosen field in your town, join it and attend meetings on a regular basis. Networking can create opportunities down the road that you may not even be aware of right now. It also allows you to find out the latest in trends, technologies, or anything else that affects how you do business. Expanding your perspective beyond your office walls allows you a better chance to stay on top of the latest developments.<br /><br />If there is no professional group in your area, join a regional one, or become involved in an organization such as <a href="http://www.toastmasters.org/default.aspx">Toastmasters</a>, which will help you improve your public speaking skills. Find opportunities to learn and to develop your talents, which will help you be more engaged when you are in your office.<br /></li></ul>The act of engaging in career enhancing behaviors demonstrates your commitment to your success in your career, not only to your superiors but to yourself as well. It provides ongoing motivation to ensure you keep striving to excel, allowing you to fully achieve the greatest satisfaction and enjoyment.<br /><br />Having your emotional reasons for doing your job in alignment with the physical aspect of performing your job will enhance your work experience and increase your chances for personal growth within the scope of your career. You must make a conscious effort each day to acknowledge those reasons why you love your job, and take steps to foster those good feelings. Tending to your career as you would any other important relationship in your life greatly reduces your chances of suffering from job burnout or stress, and will prevent you from falling into the trap of dissatisfaction and apathy.<br /><br />-David<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-1980798-10536659" target="_top" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.verizon.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;"> Limited time offer: Sign up for the FiOS Triple Play and get a FREE Samsung i85 Digital Camera or a $200 Circuit City gift card </a>

Advice and training for personal growth are available at every turn, covering a vast array of skills and techniques.<br /><br />Sometimes the wealth of information can be overwhelming. In our quest to simplify our lives we are overrun with advice on how to go about it. Just when we clear up the <a href="http://www.dumblittleman.com/2008/03/lets-clear-out-your-mental-clutter.html">mental clutter</a> produced by our homes and our jobs, our search for fulfillment pushes us over the top.<br /><br />It can be difficult to know what course of action is right for you, or where to begin on your journey towards self-improvement. By taking stock of your life you should be able to find the right combination of personal development solutions to help you meet your needs.<br /><ol><li><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Take Stock of Your Life</span>: Look at your life as a whole, then look at each component part. Decide which aspects of your life need improvement or organization. You may want to be more organized in your personal time and at home, or you might need help getting organized at work so you are better prepared to handle your work load. Perhaps there are aspects of each area in your life that need improvement. Make a list of all of the things you would like to improve upon, such as managing your time better, learning to focus, <a href="http://www.dumblittleman.com/2007/09/lose-and-control-your-clutter.html">decluttering your home</a>, or getting your work done faster so you can enjoy extra time off, and so on.<br /></li><br /><li><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Revisit Your Values</span>: Make a comparison of how you want to change your attitudes and actions with your personal values. The changes you seek must be in alignment with your wants, goals, and needs in life. If you have not yet defined what your values are, you will need to do so. In order for any meaningful change to take place, your values must be clearly defined and your basic needs must be met. Once you have both of those in place, you can begin looking at methods of self-improvement.<br /></li><br /><li><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Implement Your Plan</span>: Once you <a href="http://www.slowdownfast.com/blog/category/values/">have determined</a> what your values are, and what changes you want to make in your life, you should be able to identify the exercises that are most likely to help you reach your goals.<br /><br />If your goal is to spend more time with your family, you may decide to implement time management practices such as keeping a calendar and practicing focused work in order to become more efficient. This allows you to finish your work in less time and with greater accuracy. Your newly found free time can then be spent at the park with your children, engaged in play. The act of playing with your children is part of your plan for <a href="http://creatingabetterlife.net/2008/01/13/pointers-to-resources-for-your-better-life-7/">work family balance</a>, and also provides a needed stress release. The time you spend talking one on one with your children provides the focus you wanted to attain, while building your relationship with them. On another night, you fill your free time on a date with your husband, bringing greater stability and balance into your relationship while practicing the art of focused listening.</li></ol>When you are seeking to achieve improvement in your life, there may not be any one specific answer that is right for you. Rather, you may find that by combining a number of self-improvement techniques you are able to bring about the desired results in a shorter period of time.<br /><br />You may want to improve many aspects of your life at one time, necessitating the implementation of a variety of new behaviors, or you may be trying to solve one complicated issue that no individual personal growth technique can fully accommodate.<br /><br />Your circumstances are unique to you, and therefore your solution must also be unique. Drawing out a roadmap of goals, with milestones to lead you there, will help you choose the best combination of changes to implement in your life, which in turn will give you the greatest chance of success in reaching your goals.<br /><br />Be cautious, though, about trying to make too many changes at once. Gradually introduce new habits or behaviors into your life, and give each one a chance to cement itself before adding the next one. This will help you make each new behavior a habit, reducing the chances of derailing your progress. It will also help prevent you from becoming overwhelmed by the process of change itself.<br /><br />- David<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-1980798-10536659" target="_top" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.verizon.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;"> Limited time offer: Sign up for the FiOS Triple Play and get a FREE Samsung i85 Digital Camera or a $200 Circuit City gift card </a>
