10 TIps To Stay Young

This isn’t my work someone received it in there in box and cleaned it up and it seemed full of common sense so I decided to post it.
 

1. Throw out nonessential numbers.
This includes age, weight, and height.
Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down.
(Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)

3. Keep learning:
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever.
Never let the brain get idle.  ”An idle mind is the devil’s workshop.”
And the devil’s name is Alzheimer’s!

4. Enjoy the simple things in life because those are the best

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with her!

6. The tears happen:
Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life, is our self.
LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love:
Whether it’s family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.
Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health:
If it is good, preserve it.
If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don’t take guilt trips.
Take a trip to the mall, even to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

And if you don’t send this to at least four people - who cares?

But do share this with someone.

My Life Part Two School

So as I came up to the age of about 14, things weren’t progressing that well at the private school which, I was still at although. I can’t particularly remember the reason why I went downhill it’s still quite a mystery to me even now.

All my marks all across various subjects went way down so much so, that I had to take a letter home to my parents and contained within it was the headmaster saying that I would be required to leave because my grades were so low.

I can’t remember exactly how I felt at the time when I found this out. I think both my parents were devastated, because they were quite literally sacrificing a lot money wise in order to give me a good start in life, I must say now actually thinking about this at this point in time I do feel quite sad really.

Because I now know how much it meant to them in order for me to get a good education so I would have a good start in life, so I eventually left that school and went to another one which was a comprehensive school which was state run this school,wasn’t too far away from where we lived, I do have actually one memory of it before I started there.

I was coming home one day in my school uniform and I had to wear a cap, one of the pupils from this particular school decided for some reason that he would like to thump me rather hard in the stomach, which consequently winded me and left me out of breath.

So I started at the level of third year groups, which was how it worked at this particular school, where as in the previous school I went to things were completely different they didn’t have first second, third, fourth and fifth years.

One of the things about this particular school was, I did know quite a few of the pupils from it the main reason being I had joined the Cub Scouts quite a few years ago, and some of people that I met there went to this particular school.

Which in a way made it easy for me to integrate within it, otherwise if it hadn’t have been for that, then I probably wouldn’t have known anybody at all, it can be quite awkward when you first start somewhere and don’t know anybody.

You have always have that first-time awkwardness feeling, being the person that, I am tend to get that, first-time awkwardness feeling when it comes to meeting new groups of people in any particular situation no matter what it is.

So I start at the new school not knowing what to expect apart from the fact that it was a completely different school to my previous one, it quickly became apparent to me that the zero tolerance that we had in my previous school was nowhere to be found whatsoever at this school.

This led to lots of unruly the behaviour within classes, not all of the classes had this particular problem but when the pupils themselves knew, that the particular teacher was a pushover than they used to do whatever it is they wanted to.

So most of the time I would be in a class which was full of chaos and no organisation and people doing whatever they wanted to do, which made it extremely difficult to concentrate and get things done as you can probably imagine.

There were lots of times when all I used to do was just walk around talking to people, I can always remember doing this particular activity in woodwork, a friend of mine who used to do metalwork used to be in the next classroom, so I used to go and talk to him in order to pass the time of day.

I can honestly say now I don’t know what happened to me when I was at school but for some reason. I just lost all interest, and used to find it very difficult to motivate myself to do things at all, I just wasn’t interested, and being due to the fact that I didn’t particularly enjoyed being at that particular school.

The main reason for this being it had a rather large unruly West Indian, group of people whom used to go around bullying other people as well as myself, I can honestly say now thinking about it at this point in time I didn’t enjoy being at school one bit.

Most of the pupils who were there were either expelled or ones that had behaviour difficulties and no other school wanted them so they use to end up all there, I can remember one particular time when there was the argument between two pupils.

And there was some scuffle between them outside the classroom, the next minute one of the pupils was crying out in pain although at the time it wasn’t apparent as to why this was, however we did find out later that he had been stabbed by the other pupil with a knife.

And bearing in mind this was long time ago when this particular incident happened that is something that would be never tolerated at my old school at all, if that would have happened there I think he would have been expelled straight away.

In fact I seem to remember that some pupils at the other school the private one that is, sometimes were sent home for a period of about two weeks or a week in order to sort themselves out.

So they could think about what it is they had done, so I can honestly say that the environment that which I found myself at that particular school wasn’t a very good one at, there always seemed to be some sort of trouble happening there.

Needless to say when I eventually left that school and went to pick up my exam results, they were not very good at all in fact my heart sank when I saw them, I expected them to be far better than what they were.

But although saying that towards the end of my school years we had to do some projects, based around particular subjects which we were doing, say for biology, commerce, history and so forth, the problem was though that I had to do these particular projects at home. And for some particular reason I just couldn’t seem to motivate myself to give it my all.

So I just half-heartedly cobbled a few together and hoped for the best, maybe it was because I was at an age where I was very impressionable and didn’t particularly like who I was.

I was beginning to notice things about myself which I didn’t particularly feel comfortable with. I always seem to remember being teased about the size of my nose and coined the nickname concorner which was my second name with the first part of the Concorde tacked onto it.

In the next part of this school post I will talk about my first kiss with a girl about leaving school and some other things stay tuned.

Childhood Memories

I picked up a copy of the Sunday Express magazine today and even though I’m not normally a fan of of newspapers, I casually read the magazine which comes with it, I wasn’t expecting to see anything of particular interest as such. But surprisingly there was something that did catch my eye, it was a column that is written by Mindy Hammond, Richard Hammond’s wife of Top Gear fame.

It was about how the youth of today use there ipods to listen to music, and how she bought one and never used it then she loaded some tracks on it.

And started to think about the best song ever as she remembers surprisingly enough it was a theme tune from a TV program, years ago called white horses this immediately struck a chord within me so magazine in hand I went to my PC to see which one’s I could find, I listen to the white horses theme and it had the same effect it made me cry all those wonderful memories of years gone by.

I would say by far it’s one the best Sundays I have had in a long time so what I thought I would do is compile my ones that I can remember here in this post. I do hope it strikes a chord with some people as it did me.

So first up white horses a lovely song.

The Many Benefits of Meditation

A practice that I got into quite some time ago now at the time quite literally made a huge difference to how I was feeling at the particular time, I had never tried meditation previous to this although I had heard people talk about it quite frequently but never really thought to try it.

Then one day when I was reading somebody’s blog they said that they listened to new age music while they meditated this was something at the time I never even considered or thought about doing, so I thought I would see what all the fuss was about.

So I found some music which was quite relaxing which you were supposed to use during meditation, and went to sit somewhere quiet with my portable CD player and headphones and listened to the music with my eyes closed.

After doing this for quite a few days I noticed there was a big difference in how I felt, because at the time I was going through a bit of a dark period in my mind, and the more I did it the better I tended to feel it was if somebody had lifted a great big weight off my shoulders.

At the time when I was just starting to get into meditation I was also reading a book by Jack Canfield called the success principles, and one day was flicking through the book and happen to find a passage about somebody who had been listening to brainwave CDs, which are supposed to greatly enhance and speed the process up of how deep you go when you meditate.

It can take many years to be able to meditate like some monks to whom go very deep when there meditating, but the brainwave CD’s

help you get into this state much quicker than it would normally take say for instance if you were meditating the same as a monk would.

So I got hold of some brainwave CD’s off of eBay and began to use them every day sometimes even twice a day, the way I felt was just amazing my levels of focus went through the roof and that is something I have always struggled with really my whole life.

Ideas about particular things I wouldn’t of thought of before just came from nowhere overall I just felt a do a lot better about everything as a whole. And and here are some of the many benefits of meditation there may be more but these are the ones that I am aware of.

• It can help reduce anxiety as it reduces the amount of lactate in your bloodstream
• It will help build your self-confidence
• Will help in the production of serotonin which is the brains feelgood chemical, when you are low in this particular chemical within your brain, it can cause you to have headaches and also suffer from depression.
• Can help with blood pressure
• Helps improve concentration and focus and encourages creativity.
• Can help with weight loss if that is something that you need help with.

So for the meager time investment of 30 minutes a day you can have all these benefits I myself think it is well worth the investment for the benefits that you get back, I have only just started meditating again myself for reasons which I don’t particular want to go into. But needless to say I am going to hopefully continue with it merely because of all the benefits I reaped from it last time when I practiced it regularly.

My 10 Reasons For Feeling Happier

1. My life has started to change direction slightly

2. I now feel as though I am beginning to find myself whereas before I used to feel quite lost and didn’t know who I was.

3.Overall I feel more comfortable with who I am than I have done in a long time.

4. I seem to be putting my past behind me and not dwelling on it so much, because I felt I no longer need it what’s done is done.

5. I feel more motivated than I have done in a long time and I am becoming slowly more organised than I used to be.

6. My focus is a lot better than it used to be before so I am able to keep on track and not drift off course like I used to.

7. My general awareness is becoming more apparent, and I seem to be living more in the moment which is something that people who, practice meditation frequently do often experience.

8. I seem to be becoming more goal orientated, and wanting to achieve more than I used to be, at one time there was no inclination to want to set goals because I never thought I would be able to accomplish them.

9. I no longer tend to think, that being alone and not being in a relationship doesn’t make any of a lesser person.

10. I am beginning to realise that I do have potential and that he has been smothered by negative emotions and or energy, which was suppressing my ability to do things.

Power Busting Positive Tips

Quite a while ago is I came across a picture with some sayings and at the top it said things to keep, so what I thought I would do is make it into a post and add a few of my own things that you need to keep.

Here are the ones that were on the picture and some added tips.

• Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words.
• Keep your words positive because your words become your actions.
• Keep your actions positive because your actions become your habits.
• Keep your habits positive because you’re habits become your lifestyle.
• Keep your lifestyle positive because your lifestyle becomes your destiny.
• Make your future a positive one in your own mind and you will attract positive positive people and positive experiences.
• Act as if you are the person you really want to be example Jack Canfield in his book the success principles, noticed that when he was served by a bank clerk he was always very overdressed, more than his peers were he was wearing a suit when he was quizzed about this particular behaviour, he replied to Mr Canfield he wanted to be a bank manager so that was why he was wearing a suit, he was putting himself into the role even though he didn’t have the position as of yet.
• Just before you go to sleep at night, see yourself accomplishing your goals in your own mind, so if you have some task that you have been wanting to do for a long time, see yourself accomplishing that task the next day, this creates a conflict between your conscious mind and subconscious mind planting those kind of thoughts in your mind will plant the seeds for success in the long-term.
• Use mind maps to map out big tasks, what this will do is break down everything into manageable chunks so you can see what is before you, and go through the steps step-by-step, using this process makes things much easier and will make the task seem less daunting than it would have been normally this.
