It's been known for ages that the types of people we surround
ourselves with have a lot to do with how we're going to think, feel,
and grow as individuals. As important as people are, and I'll talk more
about this soon, there are other factors that greatly contribute to the
quality of your life.
Here I will guide you through a few of the things that I do to help me see my life in a beautiful light.
- Sunlight.
Being in constant sunlight does much for your body, mind and soul.
Contrary to common believe, sunlight can actually help to prevent
certain types of cancer. The vitamin D that it will generate in your
body will strengthen your bones. The chemical reactions that will
happen inside of you will actually make you happier. That's why there
is a huge benefit to 'early to bed, early to rise'. You're spending
more of your waking moments in sunlight.
- Flowers (via ). They say 'flower power for a reason', and this is the reason.
- Increase energy with red roses: Because red has the slowest vibratory rate and longest wavelength, it stimulates adrenal glands, boosting energy.
- Enhance alertness with sunflowers:
Yellow light waves stimulate the brain, making one alert, clearheaded
and decisive. And because people generally associate yellow with the
sun’s rays and daylight, helps people feel more optimistic.
- Relax with bells of Ireland:
Green affects the nervous system, allowing people to breathe slowly and
deeply, slowing the production of stress hormones and helping the heart
relax.
- Boost confidence with irises: The
color indigo stimulates the brain’s pineal gland, which is the
regulator of sleep patterns. Indigo also helps to free the mind of
worries, fears and inhibitions.
- Get a good night’s sleep with delphinium:
Blue triggers the production of melatonin, a brain chemical that helps
with relaxation and sleep. Blue also stimulates the thyroid gland to
release thyroxin, a hormone that regulates metabolic rate.
- Prevent allergies with orange daisies:
Orange strengthens the immune system and the lungs, which can ward off
spring allergies. Orange also has a strong beneficial effect on the
digestive system and can stimulate the sexual organs.
- Relieve stress with lilacs:
Violet has a cooling effect, alleviating "hot" conditions like heat
rash and sunburn, and suppressing hunger and balancing metabolism. It
also stimulates the pituitary gland, the part of the brain that
releases tension-fighting beta-endorphins.
- Healthy Food.
This is absolutely vital because the stuff we put in isn't just fuel,
it isn't just pleasurable morsels of food, it's actually the building
blocks from which our body is constructed. Would you want your body
built from the ground up using potato chips, cup cakes , and chocolate
shakes, or with lean cuts of protein, with fresh nutrient dense
vegetables?
- Friends to Play.
You've heard laughter is the best medicine? Well friends are the best
source of that. There is a good time and place to be introverted,
particularly when you're trying to focus and get things done. On the
other hand, being extroverted, making lots of friends and socializing
with amazing people is one of the best ways to live, love, and grow.
- Person to Love.
Having a person to love, such as a significant other, or a family
member can all the motivation you need to create ambitious goals and
have big dreams for yourself and your loved ones. Having intimate
relationships in your life makes everything seem better than it really
is. After all, our perception is our whole reality, so we might as well
fill it with beautiful things, people, and thoughts.
- Room to Grow. We
all need room to grow, physically, mentally, and spiritually. If we
confine ourselves to a static definition, instead of a possibility,
then we are greatly limiting ourselves. That is to say-by staying open
minded, we put unlimited options before us. For example, by saying we
are only good at math, we are limiting ourselves from excelling in
other areas. By saying we are smart, and able to learn new skills
quickly, we are able to take on and accomplish anything.
- Exercise.
Exercise makes you feel good in so many ways. You feel good because
you're working towards a goal, doing something good for your body, and
being proactive in your future. Since your brain is part of your body,
your strengthening your physical brain, as well as building fortitude
by keeping at it when it gets tough.
- Integrity.
An environment of integrity is one that you create for yourself when
you become your word. Be genuine. Give power to your words! This means
saying who you are and being that person with yourself and with others.
We are not perfect, but by having integrity, we can recognize times in
which we are not being our word and objectively evaluate our actions.
This can be so empowering because it dismisses denial in favor of
understanding.
- Respect Those Around You.
One way of creating a great atmosphere around you is by co-creating an
atmosphere of respect with the people around you. By respecting the
people around you, you will generate a cascade of respect from one
person to another. This is going to come back to your 10 fold as you go
about your life.
