Daily Positive Thoughts: January 22, 2015: Get More Out of Sleep

Artist :Quang Ho
 
Get More Out of Sleep
 
Sleep is part of our lives. So why not improve the quality of your sleep! Make simple changes that work best for you.
Here are a few tips to get more out of sleep:
eat a lighter meal earlier in the evening; exercise early; give yourself 'no screens', 'no phones' 30 minutes before bedtime.
 

Inner Eye

Life means change, movement and growth. When the storms of change and inconstancy are swirling around us, we need the inner eye of stillness
and stability to give us the inner strength to cope. It provides us
with the platform for clear decision making and powerful thoughts.
Anchored in the eternal unchanging truths of spirituality, we need not
resist change but can embrace it.

 

Cooking And Eating With A Spiritual Touch


Nowadays, we are continuously bombarded with details about the physical aspects of what we eat and the effects that different ingredients may or may not have on us, and naturally this is important. But in this heap of information, we tend to overlook one crucial factor: the consciousness (state of mind) of the person cooking and the effect that this will have upon the food, and thus also on those who eat it. A cook not only prepares food in a physical place, but also in a spiritual or inner space. And just as the physical surroundings are best kept clean and in order, so should be the state of mind of those in the kitchen. A simple and familiar example of this concept at work can be seen in the way that home cooking, especially that of one's mother, holds a special place in our hearts. The love and care with which it is prepared sometimes gives us more joy than perhaps food eaten in a restaurant setting where food may be prepared with greater cooking and technical skills but where negative emotions related like anxiety, arrogance, stress, and greed (in the business like restaurant environment) may affect the energy of the food cooked over there, on a subtle or vibrational (non-physical) level.

Understanding Anger

What is anger and why does it happen? It's simple. Anger is a response to someone who does not do what you want them to do, or who does do what you do not want them to do. That someone could be one individual or a group of individuals. It could also be something, where a certain situation has not happened the way you wanted, needed or expected it to. As we watch the world events we become angry at the actions of one nation towards another, one group towards another, a few towards many, and many towards one etc. This is because a) we are attached to the way things are b) we identify with the pain experienced by one side and feel that pain ourselves (in fact we create it in sympathy) and our response is to become upset. Anger is the emotion. What we do not see and realize is that we only hurt ourselves, and we cannot help others who are suffering from their own anger, when we ourselves create anger in response.

Message for the day


To have love for God means to be protected from weaknesses.

Expression: To have love for God means to have love for the perfection that is present within each and every individual, which means to be able to recognise and relate to everyone's specialities. When this is done, automatically one remains free from one's own weaknesses and fears and also from looking at the imperfections in others.

Experience: God's love frees me from all worries and concerns. There will be that close connection with God that will enable me to feel light and easy as God takes care of all my worries and troubles. The faith that God is with me frees me from negativity and so I also find my faith making me an instrument to help others to be free from negativity. I am able to give hope and courage to others too.


Your Divine Friend

Kitchen Tricks
 Save Time Money with these 20 Tricks

 
                                                           Throughout my life, I have learned quit a few kitchen tricks that have saved me a 
                                                             lot of money and time. I think these 21 tricks are the best amongst them, and 
                                                                             some of them might change your kitchen experience forever.
1. Keep onions and garlic in ventilated paper bags
  
Keeping onions and garlic cloves in ventilated bag will 
keep them fresh and free of mold for 2-3 months longer.
2. Fix stale chips and crackers in the microwave
 Don't throw away stale chips or crackers. Instead – put them in the microwave, but 
be sure to consume them quickly after, since the staling process accelerates once they cool down.
3. Turn a finished jar of spreadable chocolate into hot coco
 That "empty" jar of Nutella is not really empty, is it? Those leftover bits of 
delicious chocolaty goodness can be turned into amazing chocolate milk with ease – 
simply pour hot milk into the spent jar, close the lid and give it a good shake 
until the residue all mixes with the milk, then pour in a glass and enjoy!
4. Store pineapples upside-down
 Ever bought a fresh pineapple and cut it up, only to discover that the top is deliciously sweet,
 but the bottom is very tart? This happens because naturally, the ripening process begins at
 the top of the pineapple and slowly moves down. To get the pineapple to ripen faster and be
 fully sweet, cut off the leafy part and store it upside down, the sugars will travel from the 
old top to the "new" top and hasten the ripening, leaving you with a sweet and delicious pineapple quickly.
5.Store apples with potatoes
 Apples produce Ethylene gas, which is effective at preventing the potatoes from sprouting.
6. Wrap celery and broccoli in aluminum foil
 Wrapping celery and broccoli in aluminum foil and keeping it as airtight as possible can
 preserve them for up to a month. The reason is that fresh celery/broccoli has the right 
amount of moisture inside, and by keeping it in the airtight foil, it keeps it fresh and crisp for longer.
  7. Store lettuce with a paper towel
 When it comes to lettuce, as opposed to the celery, moisture is the enemy. 
Keeping it in a sealed bag with a paper towel will keep moisture away from lettuce, leaving it crisp and delicious.
8. Store natural nut spread upside down
 The common way to store natural nut spread leads to the natural oils in the nuts to 
float upwards, leaving the bottom hard and drier. By flipping the container for a couple of 
days, you help the oils return to the whole of the spread, making stirring much
 easier and helping you avoid that terrible, hard bottom layer.
9. Avoid empty spaces in the fridge
 Every time you open the fridge door, you let the cool air inside seep out, 
while allowing the warmer room temperature to get in. This forces the fridge to work harder
 to restore the temperature and can lead to fungus and bacteria to propagate faster 
(the cold temperature slows this process down considerably). If your fridge isn't
 full, keep a few containers full of water in the empty spaces. Water cools down slower
 than air, helping maintain the surrounding ambient temperature down.
10. Turn leftover mayo into salad dressing
 Every time you finish a jar of mayo, don't throw it away. The leftover mayo in
 the jar that you can't be bothered to scrape out can be turned into fantastic salad 
dressing: pour in some olive oil, vinegar, and add your choice of herbs, then shake it 
until the residue is all mixed with the liquids, leaving you with an easy, delicious and free dressing.
11. Before you squeeze citrus, microwave it for 15 seconds
 It might sound weird, but warm fruit releases juice more easily than a cold one.
12. Wrap banana crowns in cling-film
 Bananas release Ethylene gas, similarly to apples. The only problem with that, 
is that it hastens ripening and then – rotting. Once harvested, this process begins and 
cannot be stopped. You can, however, slow it down by wrapping the crowns in cling-film, 
minimizing the amount of ethylene released. (For even better results, separate all
 the bananas from the bunch and wrap each crown individually)
13. Fertilize potted plants with spent coffee grounds
 Used coffee grounds are still rich in nutrients, making them wonderful fertilizer for
 potted plants, and their acidity also helps to keep snails and slugs away. You can sprinkle
 the grounds on the soil, mix it in the first 2 inches or brew it a-little, 
and pour the concoction into the flower-pot.
  14. Use huggers to preserve cut fruits and veggies
 
Cut vegetables and fruit rot faster due to the exposure to air. 
Use the huggers to keep them fresh for longer.
15. Make ready-for-use herbal butter
 Chop fresh herbs and place them in an ice tray, then fill with melted butter or oil. 
This will prevent the herbs from spoiling and give you individual portions of 
your choice of herb-butter! YUM!
16. Regrow leftovers
 The bottom of various green leafy veggies can be regrown. Celery, green onions, lettuce and 
more can be regrown from the leftover bottoms, using a small container and
 keeping them watered.
17. Leftover cheese wrappers can be used for storage
 Cut the first part of the cheese along with the wrapper, remove the cheese and 
use the wrapper to seal the rest of the cheese. No more dry ends on your cheese!
18. Get all the mango while keeping your hands clean
 Cut the mango in halves, grab a glass and use it as a scooper to separate the
 flesh from the skin. No more wasting mango or getting your hands sticky!
19. Keep your avocado with an onion
 The sulfur in the onion fumes will prevent the avocado from oxidizing and turning brown. 
A splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice will work similarly.
20. Make leftover pizza crispy again
 There are 2 ways to get that leftover pizza crispy again: Put it in a skillet and let the oil 
in the crust return it into crispy goodness. Alternatively, put it in the microwave with 
a glass of water. While it's not as efficient, it's faster…

''A smile is a sign of love 
A smile is a sign of care
A smile tells how much to others
You are important and also dear


A smile is a sign of cheer
A smile is a sign of trust
A smile shows how you can
Be happy even in hard crust


A smile is a sign of joy
A smile is a sign of hope
A smile teaches you how you can
Remove the clouds of mope


For nothing but only a smile
Takes away your pain and trial
And pick your trouble's pile
And let you smile, smile and smile. ....>
