“Optimists look for partial solutions,” that is, freed from the tyranny of perfectionism and from paralysis by analysis, they are open to taking small steps towards achieving success.* Source
When we believe we can get it done, we put our mind, back, and heart into the project. Setbacks only set us up to make a greater effort. Optimists have a no quit attitude.
“One can remain alive … if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity interested in big things and happy in small ways.”
Blood is like your body’s superhighway. It carries nutrients and oxygen to everything from your heart and brain to your muscles and skin. A healthy diet is one way to optimize your circulation, or blood flow. Combined with exercise, hydration, weight management, and not smoking, some foods can help improve circulation. Great foods to boost your circulation:
Joe: “My wife’s been missing for a week. The police told me to prepare for the worst.”
Pete: “What did you do?”
Joe: “I went to Goodwill and bought all her clothes I donated.”
“To stay youthful, stay useful (John Keats).”
It’s true, we need to have something to do each day. Otherwise, we’re bored. At each stage of our life the meaning of our life changes. Our task is to discover and rediscover the meaning in our life. When we do we stay useful, youthful ad we’re never bored.
You have to cross the bridge to get to the other side. No fear. Take the first step.
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
John Keats
I WANDERED lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Joe: “My girlfriend works at a bank. She called me from work and told me she was breaking up with me.”
Pete: “Why was she breaking up with you?”
Joe: “She said she was losing interest.”
Intuitive eating comes down to paying attention to your body, whether you feel sated, says explains Tracy L. Tylka, professor of psychology at Ohio State University who has extensively studied intuitive eating. Through her Intuitive Eating Scale, she notes four main characteristics of the approach:
“At times, intuitive eaters may eat for reasons other than hunger, such as to try a certain food or go beyond a comfortable state of satiety when eating a tasty meal,” Tylka says. “However, these individuals typically do not stress about these minor deviations or feel the need to ‘compensate’ by restricting food intake elsewhere.”
