YOU and a Happy Spirit as YOU age

There are many, many things one can do to have a Happy Spirit.

I will talk about many over time but today Lewis Richmond has

some thoughts and I think they are good and maybe add them to

your already Happy Spirit.

I often teach that Buddhism is about how-to be truly happy, so I

have been studying the new research field of “happiness studies,”

which focuses on the objective measures and causes of

happiness.  Researchers have found three factors that reliably

increase happiness as we grow older-gratitude, generosity, and

reframing (seeing your situation from a more positive

perspective.)  Not surprisingly, the Buddhist tradition offers these

same three factors as spiritual practices for cultivating happiness.

I would add two more-curiosity and flexibility.

Gratitude

Linda’s Thank You prayed to God and the Ho’Op-Thank you, I

love you, Please Forgive me, I am sorry.  This little prayer for

others is a wonderful prayer I use daily.

Happy Spirit as YOU age

Generosity

Giving is truly a spiritual practice and it naturally lifts our spirit

Reframing:  aging includes its share of reverses, losses, and

sorrows.  What makes the difference is our attitude about them.

We focus on the positive aspects of the present, t=rather than

the regret of the past and worries about the future.

Curiosity – Curiosity is an important attitude to cultivate as we age.

Keeps us young, we need to cherish it.

Flexibility.  Things change as we age, and some of those changes

are irrevocable.  Our youthful stamina is gone forever, a dying

friend will never return; Never give up, never let aging get the

better of you.  Enjoy their old age to the very end.

Use these 5 items to their very best – Change sometimes is the

most difficult but to die of old age and not of disease is what the

the aim should be.

What is your protocol for dying of old age?

I have mine-it is on all the blogs I write –and it is on the podcast I

do once a week. Listen for my protocol –

Alkalize or Die – it is YOUR Choice.

Products that may damage YOUR Healthy Aging.  There are thousands of chemicals in your products, many of which are being absorbed into your body.  Also, companies can use any ingredient or raw material without government review or approval.  The make-up industry is highly unregulated.  One cannot stress the long term damage that some products may do.  Lots of good companies that now are aware of what some products can do.  Read the labels and know the ingredients.  Cleaning products for your home are the same.  It is impossible to find 100% organic and natural for YOU and home.

Lotions, shampoos, and make-up and the damage to Healthy Aging.

However, there are skin irritants, skin penetrators, endocrine disruptors and carcinogenic.  Also, these chemicals are absorbed through the skin.  They can be found in makeup, body washes, deodorants, shampoos, and facial cleanser.  And you can also find them in food and pharmaceutical products.  Synthetic colors are derived from petroleum or coal tar sources.  But suspected to be a human carcinogen, a skin irritant and are linked to ADHD in children.  This category is pretty scary because what does “fragrance, mean anyway?  This term was created to protect a company’s secret formula.

Beauty Products may damage YOUR Healthy Aging.

There a lot of new companies that just use organic and natural products.  Also, it is always a good thing to read the ingredients of everything you use on your skin.  And for the products in your home should be organic and natural.  I remember I used a night cream for years, only to find out it was just sitting on my face.

Top 11 Cancer causing items in our environment.

Top 11 Cancer causing items in our environment.  Wrap your mind around this and remember these items.   Pay attention to your environment and what you are going to be eating.  Whether it is at home or away from home

Top 11 Cancer causing items in our environment:

Stress – can drain your adrenal gland, increase blood pressure, blood sugar

 and inflammation

Nitrates- in bacon and processed meats also.

Fluoridated tap water – a byproduct of industrial companies

Aspartame – artificial sweetener

MSG – genetically modified concentrated salt.

Processed oil – soy, corn, and canola oils are processed with industrial chemicals.

Vaccines – cancerous neurotoxins.

Prescription drugs

Bleached foods

Pesticides

Diabetes

Top 11 Cancer causing items in our environment. I have taken or used most of the above items.  When I am home I try to keep all above out of my environment.  But, when I go out to eat at restaurants or as a guest I eat what is there.  I do not stress out if I have the items, but, I do counter with the good stuff at home.

Top 11 Cancer causing items in our environment.

Countering the bad is very important – using all the tools in YOUR toolbox is important.  Detox, use good prescription grade supplements.  Also, I am hypothyroid and there in my body needs the good stuff on a daily basis.  I try to keep just the good stuff for my body at home.  However, that probably does not work 100% of the time.  I love sugar baked goods but try to limit those to one or 2 a month.  I never say never can I have the sugary stuff.  Try just to take 50% of the bad stuff away.

Be careful with your food

I am not a person who can go 100% all the time.  Doing a little at a time is a good thing.  It is better than not doing it at all.  Take the stress out it, and do a little at a time.  We are humans and have been used to eating all these processed and bad food for years.  YOU are a lovely and joyful person.  Take care of your body, mind, and spirit because YOU are number 1.
