recap/update

                        


Recap so far

you are unique is about you, you having a good/better life, using some principles. 

When I first realised that life could be better, years ago, I thought in terms of self discipline & in this self discipline you do, & don't do, certain things to be fit, healthy, look & feel good, follow your dreams....you get the idea!

It's all about the habits

Now I feel that's a bit old fashioned, now I think in terms of habits, simple easy to implement habits which benefit oneself. And over a period of time, these habits follow one another in sequences that become ingrained. 

Already this is happening with our existing habits. We will just be adding & subtracting until we each find what works best for us, what fits easily into our life.

Easy times to change habits

If we made a rough note each day of everything, we would find that at certain times of the day we are always doing the same things. Two really good times to look at are:

• when we 1st get up
• & just before we go to bed. 

Auto-pilot times!

An easy habit to start with

One very good habit to start with is:

• start each day with a glass of water
• have either a glass before each meal & snack
• & another before bed. 

You could, with the meals, have a hot drink with your meals instead of the water before, as hot water fills us up. 

And, 500 mls of water between tea & bed raises our metabolism.

The water habit fulfills making a small change that easily fits into our life, is relevant to our life, that we can constantly keep doing & we need not worry about the outcome! All boxes so far are ticked!

In order to establish the habit, we will have to employ awareness...in this case, remembering! In conjunction with actually doing it. (Another 2 boxes ticked)

Easy summer habit

And as it's summer, we are looking at raising our p.q...prana quotient. Life force quotient. Getting intelligent:

• sun
• fresh air
• moving our bodies to take in more oxygen
• eating more raw foods grown in the sun. 

Another way to utilise the sun is to have breakfast in the sun, on a verandah, grass, or even by the window. Eating breakfast in sunlight also raises our metabolism.
