Getting and Staying Connected Is Powerful

Here are a few tips for getting and staying connected to enrich your body and your soul plus these can provide a tremendous surge in brain stimulation. First, nurture existing relationships as you cultivate new ones. You have to be a friend to have a friend so schedule time and energy to share with others. Remember, too, that there are many lonely people - become a friend to someone who needs one. You might just offer the magic elixir for good health.


Schedule time for friends as you schedule private time for yourself. Life is busy - we can get going about 300 MPH and lose track of something very important - our friends. Call, set a time and place, then follow through. And sometimes, after all of those friendly visits, you just need some down time, time to think, reflect, take a walk, write a letter, or curl up with a cozy blanket and a wonderful book.

As you find more time and energy in your life because of the way you have scheduled time and improved your life with good friends you will find to have time to volunteer. Volunteer to help out to the degree you feel willing and capable. Volunteer where your heart speaks and your soul directs - at a school, for respite, to assist a friend.

This next one comes almost automatically if you have followed the guidance of the aforementioned suggestions. Become involved and socialize. Doing something important adds life value and personal spirituality. You can and do make a difference.

Perhaps one of your new goals (yes, yes, yes) is taking up a bit more physical exercise. Remaining physically active means that the more you do the more capable you become. Perhaps your new friend loves to bike. Maybe your old buddy is into weightlifting. Or maybe you are feeling brave and are ready to launch out into something new and different all on your own. Just do it!

Empower your brain by taking a class, learning to play an instrument, or immersing yourself in a second language. A little challenge to your mind is a wonderful thing. Although at the outset you may sense some frustration, that's OK. It just means that your brain is filling to capacity with a super new subject or activity. This is good for you and promotes brain growth and mental power.

No matter what you choose, your brain and your body will love these activities just as you will love yourself more!

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
