Yoga and Health - Yoga For Profit

The number of people practicing Yoga has probably never been higher. People are increasingly realising that there is a branch of Yoga that suits the vast majority regardless of their age and general state of health.

If you have been practising Yoga for some time, and have the commitment, there is no reason why you should not consider teaching it. As with any business there are many levels and Yoga is no exception. If you are highly experienced already it would make sense to take a teaching qualification. If you are slightly less experienced and without a qualification you can still make money.

The entry level into teaching Yoga could perhaps be teaching what you know to friends and acquaintances in the comfort of your own home. This won't make you rich but may very well bring in the extra money that would make a positive difference to your income. The beauty of doing it this way is that you would have no overheads to pay. Working with friends you will be more at ease than if you immediately started teaching strangers.

A far riskier strategy, one that requires a great deal of thought, would be to open your own studio. Any new business is most at risk in its first year because of bills like rent and local taxes. There is also the fact that as a new business, coming from a standing start, you will have to find clients quickly. To do this you will have to advertise, which in itself is expensive. My own view is that the route to your new studio should be via a teaching position with another studio. Having prior knowledge of how things work can only be to the good and will definitely save you money.

If you have ever considered teaching Yoga, whatever ever level you are at, you may benefit from looking at the resource below. There are many article there that cover almost the whole spectrum that is Yoga. On visiting the site you will find a whole host of Yoga articles. The last two of these deal with teaching Yoga for a living. Be sure to read them.

Christian Health - 15 Reasons Your Prayers For Healing May Be Blocked

You've thought you've been a "good" Christian. You go to church, have devotions and are active in church events. You pray - well, especially now that you're sick and neither the medical community or alternative medicine has been able to help you. You've exhausted all avenues known to "man" and came up empty. So God is your last hope.

Like many "good" Christians you're not alone in taking this route first. In this modern age we've come to rely on human physicians instead of the Great Physician. After all, God has blessed doctors with knowledge and a gift for healing. But, many times we go to them as our gods for healing and many of them readily take on that persona and to go against their directives they feel may even qualify as blasphemy.

I'm not against doctors mind you. God has raised them up to be blessings. But, we are to seek God and His wisdom first and not set up other human beings as a replacement for God the Father, Son and Spirit.

And when conventional medicine comes short we seek alternative medicine.

Proverbs 3:5-8 talks about trusting God even more than you trust your own instincts for trusting God will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.

God's will is not that of miraculous healing for your body and mind but that you walk in His will first and by doing so live in divine health. It would be vain to miraculously heal a smashed thumb if the carpenter does nothing to prevent the possibility of hitting it with a hammer again thereby injuring it consistently.

So why isn't God listening to your pleads of anguish and your cries for healing? God is waiting for you to quit swinging the spiritual hammer. Sins prevent God's work in our lives and sometimes we don't even realize that we are sinning. The number one hindrance to being blessed is disobedience.

The following may be some reasons it seems as though your prayers are falling on deaf ears.

1. Holding a grudge or unforgiveness toward another.

God is not a bubble-gum machine. In Mark 11 we are told that we can pray to even have a mountain removed and be thrown into the sea and if we don't doubt it will come about. People so often want their prayers for health answered so badly that they fail to keep reading. Just the next two verses tell us to forgive so that our heavenly Father may forgive us. If we don't forgive neither will He. How can we be healed of a chronic disease if we fail to forgive others as we have been forgiven?

God's love is not conditional but He won't bless sin. He also isn't fooled. He knows forgiveness for us is sometimes difficult. But, forgiveness is an attitude of the heart and a choice. You don't forgive people who have wronged you because you feel like it. You make the choice to forgive and because we have the Spirit of God dwelling in us, He gives us the ability to forgive. We won't necessarily forget, but the bitterness of being wronged can be removed from the memory of the wrongful action.

2. To be ignorant or to lack knowledge.

God created your body with the ability to balance it's functions and to heal itself if given the optimum circumstances. Your body operates at a cellular level. If large numbers of cells fail to communicate then the created balance is upset and symptoms of disease manifest.

Disease is the miscommunication of cells. What we have to find out is what is causing the miscommunication. God knows all things and to come to Him in prayer to ask for understanding and wisdom should be foremost. Wisdom is knowledge in action. Proverbs tells us that the beginning of knowledge and wisdom starts with the fear or respect of the Lord.

3. Knowing of God but not having a relationship with Him.

Do you need to accept Jesus in order to be healed? Will He heal you anyway? Yes, God will heal people who do not accept Jesus. We see this in scripture from Mark 7 when the woman from the border of Tyre and Sidon asks for her daughter to be healed. She was not a believer but Jesus healed the daughter anyway.

And take the ten lepers for example. All were healed but only one came back to give thanks. But if you can be healed physically isn't it up-most to be healed spiritually for salvation? In James 4 we are told that we don't receive what we ask for because we ask amiss. Our motives for asking are not right and our motives aren't right because we don't really know the one we are petitioning to. When Jesus healed He preached the gospel first then He healed.

Now you say that there are those who are not Christian and receive healing. They may be instinctively following God's truths by their own reasoning in their heart. Their rewards will be of this world.

In reading through Leviticus it shows us how serious God is about sin. The penalty was high in the Old Testament. Sacrifices had to be made. Much blood from animals was shed. Jesus Christ paid the penalty for all of our sins with His shed blood. We no longer need to kill animals for forgiveness. But God still views sin as serious. It causes physical and spiritual consequences.

4. Personal sins (unknowingly or flagrant) and inherited generational sins.

In Isaiah 59 we are told that the Lord's hand can save and his ear can hear but, our iniquities have separated us from God and our sins have hid His face from us so that He will not hear. In Exodus 20 it says God holds the fathers responsible for the spirituality of the family and that consequences of sin can go on for generations.

So we not only have to consider the sins we commit ourselves but also inherited family tree sins. Diseases run in families and so do spiritual dynamics; fear, worry, anxiety, resentment, bitterness, negativity also run in families.

Temptation is not sin. But if people habitually practice those things that God has said is wrong with a hardened heart as a way of life then the God's word in Galatians 5 says that the Kingdom of God is not theirs. As with forgiveness it's a matter of the heart. It's a matter of knowing it's wrong and doing it anyway or knowing it's wrong and desperately wanting to change.

5. Not having faith that God is able to do what He says.

Praying and not really believing God can heal you is a major block for healing. Even Jesus was unable to do mighty works because of people's unbelief and doubt. As we trust in Him to work in us and with us we see His power revealed. Many books in the Bible talk about having the faith in God to know that He can do what He says; Mark, Hebrews, and Matthew. Take your belief to point of commitment!

6. Needing to see a miracle or a sign first.

How many people won't believe until they see a miracle or a sign first? They wouldn't believe Jesus was the Messiah unless He came down from the cross and delivered Himself. Thomas wouldn't believe until he saw the scars in Jesus' flesh. But Jesus said blessed are they who haven't seen and yet believe.

We are not to look to other humans for health and healing. We are to look to God, to the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit, and to His Word. Doctors may be looked upon as miraculous healers when in fact it is God, who made your body, who heals.

We must seek God and His Word, and not wonders and signs for the foundation of our faith. Disease is a fruit of separation from God in some area in our life. Faith in God and His Word is the key to a relationship with Him not if you see miracles or signs and wonders.

7. Thinking God should heal you on your own terms not His.

First of all we are not to be impressed with our own wisdom as told to us in Proverbs 3. And if we respect the Lord and turn away from evil (sin) we will have healing for our bodies and strength for our bones.

A great illustration of this takes place in 2 Kings 5:11-14. The commander of the king of Aram's army, Naaman, had a spiritual problem of pride. Pride in thinking he knew what was the best way for God to heal him of leprosy. Elisha the prophet had sent a messenger to Naaman to tell him to wash seven times in the Jordan river. But Naaman got irate that first of all Elisha himself didn't come out to heal him and secondly that there were better rivers than Jordan to wash in. He left in a rage.

Naaman's officers confronted him with the fact that if Elisha had given him something complicated to do he would have done it. So why was he being stubborn in doing something simple like washing in the Jordan and be cured? Naaman conceded and washed in the Jordan river 7 times and was healed of leprosy.

8. Looking to man to be the source of your healing.

Are we running from one doctor or expert of a medical modality to the next trying to find the answer to our healing rather than turning to God in prayer and to seek a relationship with Him first and then His wisdom?

Psalm 118:8 says it's better to go to the Lord than to trust in people. We find this in 2 Chronicles 16 when King Asa was afflicted with a disease in his feet and even though his disease was severe, even in his illness he did not seek help from the LORD, but only from the physicians. He died two years later.

The Lord tells us that cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the LORD. Our salvation through Jesus Christ may be secure because we we trust in Him for forgiveness of sins but we can still suffer physically if we don't trust in Him for guidance in healing.

9. Trying to hide sins and faults from God and not being honest with one another.

Why do people lie about doing something they think is wrong? Why do they try to hide it? Because of pride and fear. Fear of what others will think, fear of rejection, fear of failure and fear of not being loved and too proud to admit that even you can make a mistake or have weaknesses.

Yet we are told to confess our faults to one another and pray for each other in James 5. God sees it all anyway so there's no hiding anything from Him. We need to bear one another's burdens as in Galatians 6.

Proverbs 28 lays it out on the line by saying that he that covers his sins shall NOT prosper: but if you confess and turn from them you shall have mercy. We all sin and fall short of the glory of God. But we are to help each other build one another up. Team mates.

We are not to be angry and resentful of ministers of God's Word when they speak the truth to us regarding sin and turning our lives around. That's truth when it hits an open wound of pride. Destruction closely follows pride as a fall also follows a haughty spirit.

10. Not giving to God what is rightly His in tithes and offerings.

Everything is God's because He made it all. Malachi 3 talks about robbing God. When we neglect to see that all of our blessings come from Him and take and take and take and not respond in kind, then we rob from God. If you're a manager of a store,a department, or an executor of an estate you want to know how the owner or boss wants it handled. Your job is a steward of what you were given. But, to do the best job you can you ask how it should be managed. It's called embezzling if you take it as your own.

God has given us time, talent and money. To show our trust and gratitude for His blessings we are to give back a portion. Not just any portion, however, but the first portion of what He has given us. If we do that He promises to pour out blessings that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

11. Looking to the symptoms and not to The Healer.

Anytime you concentrate on the problem instead of how to solve it you get nowhere. I know it's difficult to look past the symptoms especially when pain is involved. It consumes our present life and gives us the fear of pain in the future.

But just as Peter started to sink because he took his focus off of Jesus Matthew 14 so we must remain focused on the author of our faith and the creator of our bodies. We are to put on the FULL armor of God as in Ephesians 6. The enemy does not want to easily give up a stronghold. To distract you with symptoms is a great tactic to hold you in fear and paralyze you - maybe literally.

Look to the Healer that we see in Romans 8. If He can raise Jesus from the dead surely He can heal you. Don't negate that Christ took your sickness as well as your sins to the cross and by His stripes we are healed as 1 Peter 2 tells us.

12. Harboring fear in your heart.

Fear quenches faith. Fear put your focus on you and your problems and tells you that God isn't who He says He is. Fear produces doubt and doubt makes you think that God isn't omnipotent. God can't handle your disease. God wants you that way. Fear quenches prayer. After all God must not be listening to pitiful you.

Fear doesn't come from God. As a matter of fact over 300 times in the Word of God we're told NOT TO FEAR or FEAR NOT! God's antidote is His Spirit. His Spirit is found in reading His Word and hearing the truth of who God really is; creator, redeemer and sustainer of our lives. God gives us peace as in John 14 and a spirit of power, love and a sound mind in 2 Timothy 1.

Discern where the spirit of fear is coming from as it is keeping you from prayers being answered. Even in the secular realm we've been told we have nothing to fear but fear itself.

13. Neglectful lifestyle.

You expect healing when you neglect the care of your body. Unhealthy and risky lifestyles are directly opposite of God's command to take care of your body, His temple. We were bought with a price; we are not our own. We are to honor God with our bodies and to present them as a living sacrifice to our Maker. It is our spiritual act of worship.

So not getting the right nutrition, drinking enough water and getting enough sleep and rest have a natural consequence. So does watching vile media, taking in unhealthy substances and listening to negative and counterproductive music.

Don't keep blocking your own healing with a lifestyle choice you won't give up.

14. Not resisting the enemy and just giving up thinking God wants you that way.

Your premature death doesn't help God build His Kingdom one bit. Your being in disease doesn't fulfill God's purpose for you in the least. Can you declare His truth to others if you're dead? Can the dead arise and praise God as it states in Psalm 88 and 30?

God doesn't need disease to get you to heaven. We are of no earthly good to God if we die without ministering to other souls that need to hear His Gospel of Salvation! We are to spread the Good News and how can you do that if you are totally concentrating on your own physical health? We fail ourselves and God if we don't ask for wisdom for healing and stop being in His Word.

We are told to fight the good fight and give God ALL glory.

15. Past and continued involvement in occultism or other spiritualities.

There are a lot of healing practices and medical modalities. From acupuncture, meditation, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), yoga, diets, reiki, energy healing, biofeedback, tarot, New Age, angelology, breathwork, Chinese herbs, hypnosis, healing touch, imagery, reflexology, shamanism and the list goes on and on. We get so caught up with the finding THE answer or THE cure that we stay on this medical-go-round and totally miss who gives us life and health in the first place.

We look to other gods running from one thing to the next to relieve our fear or pain instead of to the One that has had the answers all along and has been patiently waiting for us to come and ask Him. To rely on Him only. Psalm 118 reminds us to trust in God and not in human means that will let us down. We also are not to turn to idols and that includes ourselves.

God has given us an inborn yearning for Him; a spiritual tug. But we must not confuse that yearning for anything other than the One true God; Father, Son and Spirit who created, sustains and saved us from spiritual death and carried our diseases to the cross. To do so may mean earthly rewards but spiritual sabotage.

Don't be deceived. God is foremost concerned with you going to heaven but He needs healthy soldiers who give Him ALL glory to carry out the spiritual warfare to win others to Christ. We must clean up our spiritual act so we have the energy and zeal to fulfill our purpose in His Kingdom. Times of trial and pain test our commitment, faithfulness and trust in a God who loves us dearly and gave His Son so we may have life, and have it abundantly.

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. ~3 John 1:2

God is dealing with you; His body in this world. If you are Christian in your beliefs and know that God raised Jesus from the dead then He surely can bring healing and health to your body and mind as well as forgive your sins. But just as Jesus followed His Father's will so must we.

Health! Whose Responsibility - Yours or Theirs?

What turns a person into a patient?

Have a think about it.

Is it a choice that turns a person into a patient? The choice to hand over power for one's own health to someone else. The handing over of power seems mutually beneficial. It maintains the doctor's status, it means the doctor's customer can abdicate responsibility for healing.

I'd like you to play with this thought for a moment. When you visit a doctor you are a customer rather than a patient.

How does that feel? What do customers do? They go into a shop, have a look round, if they need some advice they ask for it and an expert, or someone who thinks they're an expert, happily gives it. If the salesman is experienced the customer will probably make a purchase. If the salesman is ethical then the customer will be pleased with the purchase and feel they have received value for money. But if they are ignored, or made to wait an unreasonable amount of time, or treated rudely, the customer simply takes their business elsewhere.

What do patents do? They arrive five minutes before the agreed appointment time. They go into the reception. They give their name. They are told to sit in the waiting room. Anything from 20 minutes to two hours later they hear their name called. They try as best they can to describe the problem they want taken away. They are given a piece of paper, which they then have to take to a pharmacy to exchange for drugs, and that's the end of it. The whole process generally lasts less than 5 minutes. If/when the drugs don't produce the desired effect the whole process is gone through again. This is all endured stoically, or stressfully, by the patient who feels powerless to bring about the outcome they desire.

And what exactly is this outcome?

The desired outcome is healing. The desired outcome is freedom from the pain, freedom from the discomfort, freedom from the stress, unhappiness or anxiety; freedom from concern that this is something life threatening.

Although the last time I visited a doctor was around 5 years ago, in my life I've spent many, many hours in doctor's and hospital waiting rooms. In all that time I have never once heard a doctor mention the word 'healing'. I've heard about symptoms and diagnoses; I've taken the latest wonder drug on several occasions filled with hope that this was the miracle I've been waiting for only to have that hope dashed as the miracle made me feel worse than I already did.

The miracle that I'd been waiting for was the realisation that I was responsible for my own health and well-being. Only when this happened did I start to heal.

Now I need to make myself clear. Being responsible for your own health does not mean doing your own surgery. It does not mean, selecting the drugs you think you need and buying them from an internet pharmacy. Doctors have valuable knowledge. When I broke my wrist I was very grateful for the knowledge and skills they used to assist my healing. I used their x-ray machines to find out what the damage was. I used their plaster to support my wrist. I used their skills and knowledge and listened to their advice on exercise. But I didn't use their drugs for the pain. I used my own mind to deal with that. And having made that choice the pain was never intolerable and was a useful feedback mechanism to let me know if I was pushing my wrist too fast.

Being responsible for your own health means:

1. Acknowledging there is a physical or psychological problem that you'd like to change.

2. Getting advice from several expert sources, such as... Doctors, Other health practitioners like... Herbalists, Nutritionists, Psychotherapists, Hypnotherapists, Counsellors, Healers, Chiropractors, Past-life regressionists, or Books and of course the internet.

3. Making a choice

Making a choice means going with what feels best to you, and trusting your decision despite pressure from vested interests to follow their particular healing system. I know people who when they have a problem are quite happy to have surgery as soon as possible to get it sorted. I know others who are happy to live with the problem while they explore mind-oriented techniques to see if they can find the emotional cause and release it, thereby healing the problem.

You can even make a different choice every time. There are no rules here, other than to go with what feels right or comfortable to you. Doctors and hospitals are brilliant in emergency situations, but if it isn't an emergency then you probably have some time to consider options. The moment you open your mind up to a different approach to healing you will find that the information you need comes to you in an almost magical way. Coincidences are an indication that you are making the right choices for you.

A selection of self-help books are available on my web site. I particularly recommend The Journey by Brandon Bays.

How to Compare Low Cost Health Insurance in Oregon

Oregon has an excellent health care system; in fact, one of the best in the nation according to U.S. government figures, but regardless of how good the system is at saving and prolonging life, the fact is that Oregon's heath care, like health care everywhere in this nation, is expensive.

In fact, according to figures released by the Oregon Department of Insurance, almost half of all citizens of Oregon find health care costs a financial burden and fully one quarter of all adults in Oregon report spending up to twenty-five percent of their monthly income on health care.

Clearly for the majority of people something has to be done to bring down the cost of staying well.

The most formidable weapon at the consumer's disposal is knowledge. Become knowledgeable about health care and your health care choices. Go online and compare policies and prices - the difference in cost for the same basic policy from one company to another can be truly staggering.

Before going online sit down and figure out what you and your family need out of a health care plan. What is important to you - and what isn't? Are doctor's visits more important than hospital stays? Are prescriptions more important than visits to the emergency room? Do you need a policy that covers you when you travel? Do you have a new baby - or are you expecting one in the next year?

Write your answers down on a piece of paper and play around with them when filling out your online comparison forms. Remember, when you are looking for low cost health insurance here in Oregon there are bound to be trade-offs. Don't expect to find the perfect policy - unless you can afford a high premium or your needs are simple.

And of course the main trade-off that many people use to create an acceptable health policy at a price they can afford is their deductible. This is money you have to pay from your own sources for your health care needs before your insurance begins to pay. The greater your deductible the lower your monthly insurance premium.

Health insurance is costly, there's no getting around that - but if you spend some time online and ask some tough questions of yourself, the answers you come up with just might make health insurance a lot more affordable than you ever thought possible. The key is to compare low cost health insurance plans side-by-side until you find the one that's right for you.

You can even select your product from the current trends. Your next step is to write articles that will provide valuable information about the product, which includes the benefit of the product to the person that his reading your article.

You are not going to send the prospect directly to the product owner's website from your article. You are going to send them to a blog, Squidoo lens or to your own domain. I encourage you to start out with a blog or Squidoo lens first so you can test the product before investing in a domain. However, this is just my opinion, but it does make sense because you don't want to spend too much time creating a domain that will bring no customer.

The keywords that you use in your article will be a reference for the search engines that when people search for those keywords they should find you. However, if you are in a competitive field, it may be harder for your customer to wade through the many pages of the search engine to find you so you have to be very strategic in compiling your article and use the appropriate keywords that will get you discovered.

Health is in the Hands of the Beholder

I moved here to Florida from Georgia in 2005. My OB/GYN there had been my doctor since 1994, so of course she knew me and I felt very comfortable with her. I guess upon this writing, I now know why I long for her. I spent eleven years in her care. But my doctor in Georgia would address me with a smile and a warm sincere greeting. She would exam me and talk with me, not to me. After the examination, we would both go into her private office and actually sit down and talk. Even if I'd waited over two hours to see her, due to a couple of babies being ready to see the world, she'd still sit and talk with me. It might have been a little rushed, but she'd still take the time. So, I guess you could say that I'm spoiled. Spoiled or not, I really do miss her. In a sense, I guess you could say that I'm trying to replace her.

Now, Dr G and Dr L are both very nice, but there was still something missing. I realize that I have to take my time in getting to know them. I have to spend a number of years with them just as I did with my doctor in Georgia. I am sure over time, I will come to love my doctor here just as I did my doctor in Georgia. But the thing is this, my appointment with Dr L was at 3:00. When I'd gotten into the car to leave, the time was 3:48 and I wasn't seen at exactly 3:00. Now, for those who've never had an OB/GYN visit, it's not the most comfortable. First of all, you have to get entirely naked, and even though my doctor is female, she's still a total stranger who will be placing things inside of my body and touching me. So you can understand why you'd want a more personal approach. But, I feel upon the initial visit, the doctor should at least sit down with you and address any issues that are past, present, and future. Dr L didn't even ask me about birth control and whether I desired to have children. I mean, this is my health and she is my healthcare provider, so shouldn't she be providing me with the best possible healthcare that my money is paying her for? I understand that doctors have a lot of expenses, but they also have a lot more money in their bank accounts than I do. And the funny thing about this is the fact that I know my body better than she does. I know how my breasts feel and whether they're lumpy, smooth, heavier feeling than usual, and also if I've detected something that seems out of place. So when we visit our doctors, what are we really seeing them and paying them for? I can truly understand why some people don't go to doctors. They tend to have the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality. But, we hear reports each day about seeing your doctor to prevent disease and get treated for any medical issues you may have. But I wonder, how important is it that we see a doctor if there's nothing bothering us?

Upon my experiences and the experiences of others, I have been thinking a lot about our healthcare system. Of course we'd hate to think that it's only about the money, but the more I look around and think about things, the more it seems that we're just a dollar sign waiting to happen. Which brings me to the conclusion that, "health is in the hands of the beholder." This topic is somewhat broad and there are multiple topics in regards to different specialties in healthcare that I could write upon. I will be addressing other issues, such as how we can prevent disease by making better food choices in the very near future. But for now, I'll try to sum this up.

The bottom line is we are in control of our healthcare. We cannot rely upon any doctor to provide us with all of the information there is to prevent disease and to even learn of disease. With today's technology, there are too many resources at our disposal for us to remain ignorant of any issue. Another thing is, are we doing our best at taking good care of ourselves? I can honestly say that I don't practice self breast examination as I should. I don't eat the best diet either, so why would I expect my doctor to spend so much time on my body and me if I don't do it myself. And it's not because I'm paying her. Doctors have a huge responsibility, especially if they're the only doctor in a particular office. They've got to see everyone that walks into the door and with this being known, time is money, and each patient represents more money. A doctor explained to me that doctors who have office practices have to see a patient every 15 minutes. Times have changed and so has the responsibilities of our doctors. It's no longer just about the patient. It's about the mortgage on the building, the light bill, insurances, and staff salaries. How can we improve things? We need to take back the power that's been given to physicians for our care. We need to take a more active part in our own healthcare. There are a lot of issues behind the scenes that we are unaware of. At times, I wonder if doctors are there to treat, prevent or cure?

It may seem as if I'm contradicting myself, but there are two sides to every coin. Yes, I do feel the doctor should have taken more time with me, but I also understand why she didn't and maybe couldn't. But the big picture for me is that I need to do my best to prevent disease. I need to do my best to take proper care of my body. I should view my doctor visits as simple check-ups. I should go in with the knowledge and pride that my body is in great condition and she won't find anything wrong. I still feel she should've taken more time in getting to know me and talk with me in regards to any issues that I may have had. She could've at least asked me if there was anything that I needed to discuss. But also, I shouldn't look to be in her office for a lengthy period of time. I should be secure in myself and with myself to say "I really don't need to be here, because I'm fine and I've seen to it that I am." Your health and my health is truly in the hands of the beholder. You and I both hold the key to our own healthcare. Power is knowledge, and knowledge is the key to prevention, and prevention is the key to great healthcare. Will I go back to Dr L? I'll tell you what, we'll see how I feel about it next year. I want to have a good relationship with Dr L and I understand that it will take time, but it's more important to me to have an even better relationship with my own body and feel secure in the fact that I've taken good care of it and that 15 minutes with her is all that I need. Do I still long for my old doctor even though I only saw her once a year and for less than an hour, of course I do! What can I say, I love her and even when I would see her, my health was still in the hands of me, the beholder.

Thank you for taking to time to read my article. I look forward to sharing more words of wisdom. I will be hanging around Ezine Articles for a while. There are a lot of interesting topics I will be discussing.

7 Daily Habits That Can Bring You Closer to Health and Wealth

There are good and bad habits that we possess in our lives. You may have some good habits which can bring you closer to health and wealth. Knowledge can be power but applied knowledge is true power. You may have the knowledge of building good and positive habits that can help you to live long but only if you apply them. Same is going to be here. I am going to share 7 daily habits that can bring you closer to health and wealth in life. Why only 7 habits? For I do not wish to make it complicated for you to apply them. I will share some simple habits which can give fruitful results to you. Here We Go...

1. Take your breakfast daily.

This is very important for your health if you wish to live long. Many are skipping their meals especially their breakfast and they are not aware of it's dangers and consequences. Honestly it can be fatal for you. Skipping breakfast can be one of the cause for stomach cancer. What will happen if you spend some time taking your breakfast which can add extra years of life? Think of it....

2. Smile to strangers.

A very honest smile is like a boomerang. It will return to you faster than you expected. The effect also will be magnificent. Have you ever went through this? You may be walking in a park and when a stranger smiles at you, you cannot resist that smile and you will smile back immediately. You will feel quite different after doing that. That is the power of it. Learn to give away or share your happiness for you will gain them in thousand fold...

3. Write and accomplish daily goals.

Goals are very important in our lives. Do you have a specific goal to be achieved in your life? Do you know how to set big goals? It is very important for you to have such goals for your financial future. There is nothing wrong in admitting that we are striving towards money and happiness for we are putting our effort to achieve them. I personally write my daily five goals to accomplish in a day which can help to bring me towards my ultimate goal. Goal setting can be fun and it is truly important. Work on that my friend.

4. Give away your money to others.

This is important for your financial success. You may think what the crap I am talking about but listen to this carefully....Every single cents that you give away will return to you in thousand fold. Warning! Listen completely . It will happen only if you do it honestly. Be kind naturally and donate money to someone without expecting the return of it. We are looking for kind person here. Are you there?

5. Show your love to your family.

Showing love is very important than asking for them. What you give is what you will get. A very rich businessman is getting money based from the service that he offer. When you give love to your family that is what will be given back to you whether by your family members or not but The Universe will give it to you. If you have never hugged your parents or siblings, please do so NOW! You will see the change in you. You can feel a much healthier person in you.

6. Read a lot of financial success books.

Reading can provide you great knowledge. Reading financial success books will be very helpful during the recession. You had enough of knowledge and it is time for you to apply them. Say a very long goodbye to your procrastination habit and give a warm sweet welcome to ACTION! Take actions to read and apply financial knowledge. Learn how to create passive income businesses. The more money that you have the more good you can do. Make money my friend.

7. Say Thank You to this World.

Have you ever jumped out of your bed and shout like Tarzan in movies to give thanks for the sweet day ? I do it daily whether you believe me or not. I will shout, ' Thank You Thank You Thank You Universe ( you can take it as God ) for giving me massive energy, Health and Wealth to live the Life that I desired! THANK YOU! ' I promise that I would feel as I am born again in this world. Please try this only once and you can see the changes. Do not worry about your family members for usually I will not bother about anything while doing that. Nothing CAN STOP ME.

Remember that Ideas and Knowledge will work for you, only when you work on them......

I Wish You Happiness and Love,
