Published on Leave a comment on Why Some People Tear Others Down – Need A Few Clues? And What To Do.

I knew someone who has experienced this with someone at her church for some time believe it or not. There are a few gossips and busybodies there too. It is evident to me that none of these offenders have a real relationship with Jesus – to be acquainted with Him is reflected in love for others and appropriate conduct. If someone has unseemly behavior, something is wrong – sometimes you have to ask yourself if they really know Jesus? Maybe not!

The Following Advice "in quotation marks" is from James George (The rest is from me) He is a caring person with some good insights.

"No matter what we do in life, there can be someone at some stage who has something negative to say but some people like to tear others down, not just you – please remember this. Sometimes they find every fault that you have and exploit it to make you feel bad about yourself. They want to demolish someone’s confidence. It’s frustrating to hurt your feelings and it makes you feel like you’re insignificant. So why does this happen? Why do people feel like they have to tear others down and make them feel bad?"…

WALK FOR PLEASURE OR LEISURE AND TAKE IN SOME FRESH AIR OR SUNSHINE. IT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD AND IT'S GREAT FOR YOUR HEALTH.

Everyone’s talking about their memory aye? If you’re reading this Post for a little help, many others can identify with you. What is the reason why even young people are having senior moments?

Published on Leave a comment on Depressed by the News? Here Are 7 Strategies for Self-Care

By Gennady Musher MD, PhD  2018

First the good news about all the bad news you might be reading and seeing these days: Bad news cannot cause depression. Depression is a complex biological illness, and in my professional practice as a psychiatrist, I have seen nothing to suggest that depression rates are rising in a response to the barrage of negative stories we’re hearing and seeing in the media these days. And none of the copious research on depression has concluded that it can be caused by exposure to negative media.

The roots of depression go deeper than environmental factors. After all, some people can suffer trauma and go on to live a normal life, while other people might become depressed over seemingly slight setbacks. Our responses to life’s vicissitudes are determined by the interaction of biology and environment — nature and nurture — and are as individual as each of us.

Choose Wisely - There Are Options!

However, if you’re predisposed to depression or are already in the throes of it, you may find that a lot of time spent absorbing the news — through television, newspapers, or online — can make you feel worse.…

Published on Leave a comment on 3 Exercises That Build Mental Strength In Just 5 Minutes A Day – Two Great Articles!

By Amy Morin

Mental Strength Trainer And Host Of The Mentally Strong People Podcast

Whether you’re tempted to give in to that craving for a cupcake, or you’re about to give up on your goals, perseverance isn’t easy. But before you blame your lack of God-given willpower and before you make an excuse for your less than stellar performance, consider this; it only takes a few minutes a day to build the mental muscle you need to reach your greatest potential.

Building mental strength is similar to building physical strength. Doing 50 push ups a day would only take a few minutes of your time, but doing it consistently would help you build a tremendous amount of upper body strength.

The same can be said with your mental muscle. In just a few minutes each day, you can train your brain to think differently, manage your emotions, and behave productively. With consistent exercise, you’ll build mental strength.

While there are many exercises that can help you grow stronger, here are three exercises that will help you build mental muscle in five minutes or less:

1. Identify three things you’re grateful for.…

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) A Deliberate Form Of Psychological Programming Which Has It’s Roots In The Trade Of Hypnotism Which Is A Form Of Mind Control Rather Than Psychology, Is Something We Should All Be Aware Of And How To AVOID IT. “What Does This Have To Do With Me?” You May Ask. If You  Need To Buy White Goods And Furnishings, Computers Or Sound Systems, A House Or Car, Make Investment Decisions, If You’re Considering Purchasing A Product Over The Internet – Especially An Information Product, A Sign Up Of Some Kind (That’s Irresistible Whatever) You’re Interested In Infomercials……YES IT DOES!

Today, I’ve been doing more research on Memory Skills and I came across a book by someone who was Dyslexic and managed to generate an interest in reading – he determined he did not want to seem dumb anymore, he went and purchased a few books on memory and that led to other things. His story sounded interesting and a few of his tips very good. So happens, he has read many self-improvement books and learnt different skills. Then there was some mention about NLP on the sales page and instinctively I backed off.…

Published on Leave a comment on An Absolute Kudos To SA Wine Region For Wishing To Stay GMO Free!

IN ADDITION TO THEIR PRINCIPLE OF PRODUCING AND MAINTAINING TOP QUALITY WINE, I HAVE DONE CONSIDERABLE RESEARCH ON THE LIKES OF MONSANTO - THEY ARE VERY SHADY, TO SAY THE LEAST. I WILL PLACE LINKS TO TWO OF MY WEBSITES IN SUPPORT TO DECISIONS LIKE THIS. THE SA GOVERNMENT DID NOT DO THEIR HOMEWORK PROPERLY CONCERNING THEIR DECISION TO ALLOW GMO CROPS INTO THE STATE. THERE ARE REAL FACTORS, I BELIEVE, THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF TO APPROVE SUCH A THING! THE MCLARENVALE WINE REGION HAS SOME SMART DECISION MAKERS - IT IS WISE TO DO DUE DILIGENCE IN SUCH MATTERS AND I WOULD LIKE TO APPLAUD THEM WHOLEHEARTEDLY.

Key SA Wine Region Leads Push To Remain GM-Free

From Indaily.Com.Au

South Australia’s largest council is poised to be the first to ask permission to ban genetically modified crops from its borders following a push from McLaren Vale’s wine industry, which says the lifting of a moratorium will cost the region millions.

Onkaparinga councillors will decide tomorrow night (Tuesday, September 15) if they will ask for the district to be given non-GM crop designation following months of public consultation.

Legislation lifting a 16 Year Ban on Genetically Modified Crops in SA was passed by state parliament in May.…

Published on Leave a comment on SA Government Takes Initiative Against Plastics Again – Kudos!

SO MUCH COULD BE SAID CONCERNING THE AVALANCHE OF PLASTIC WASTE FROM TAKEAWAY SHOPS THAT ENDS UP ON OUR BEACHES, IN PARKS AND OTHER PLACES, IN AUSTRALIA AND MUCH OF IT IS SINGLE USE PLASTICS. NOW THE SA GOVERNMENT IS STARTING TO STEP IN ON THAT, TO PROTECT OUR OCEAN AND AREAS FROM UNNECESSARY LANDFILL.

South Australia Becomes First State In The Country To Ban Single-Use Plastics

The South Australian parliament has passed laws banning single-use plastics but the measures will be delayed until next year because of COVID-19.

South Australia has become the first state in Australia to ban single-use plastics such as straws and cutlery.

But the introduction of the new laws will be delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The measures were passed in parliament on Wednesday and also allow for other items to be progressively added to the banned list.

"There has been significant community and industry support for swift action on single-use plastic products with many households and businesses across the state already taking steps to remove them," Environment Minister David Speirs said.

"Our legislation at first bans single-use plastic items like straws, cutlery and beverage stirrers and outlines a framework for adding more items in the future.…

Believe It Or Not, Over The Last Few Months In My Area, I Have Seen Improvements In The Way People Are Relating, When Shopping Etc Apart From Some (there are always the few of-course).

YES, HOURS OF TV AND INTERNET SURFING AND LOTS OF MEDIA OVER OUR "SMART PHONES" ARE PROVEN TO WEAKEN OUR IMMUNE RESPONSE TO VIRUSES, INFLUENZA AND PANDEMICS. COMPUTER GAMES ARE IN THE MIX. I WILL INCLUDE SOME POSITIVE INFO FOR YOU. CHEMICAL LADEN FOODS ARE ALSO A PROBLEM BUT WE WILL DEAL WITH THESE THREE HERE SHALL WE? I COVER NUTRITION ALERTS IN A DIFFERENT POST - A LINK IS PROVIDED AT THE END OF THIS PAGE. WALKING, EXERCISE AND SLEEP ALSO BENEFIT OUR BRAIN.

I FOUND THESE EXCELLENT ARTICLES ON THESE TOPICS AND WILL PLACE EXCERPTS HERE. THIS CUTS DOWN SOME OF MY WRITTEN WORK BECAUSE I RUN SEVERAL WEBSITES.

How Binge-Watching TV Can Wreck Our Immune Systems - 2018

It turns out there are some surprising daily habits, such as overdosing on our favourite TV Series, that can wreak havoc on the body’s ability to fight off Colds and Influenza.

Nicole Jennings, spokesperson for Pharma Dynamics – a leading provider of colds and flu medication – says the relatively new phenomenon of being able to watch an entire TV series all at once, as opposed to waiting a week, has sparked several studies that attempt to understand how binge-watching is impacting our health.…
