cockroach wisdom

In my house there's a sofa underneath which a lot of cockroaches live. Sometimes while I'm sitting at my couch a cockroach comes out so i am scared because of that. So even when I'm doing something important i cant pay attention to it.I constantly keep looking at the ground because i fear that another cockroach may come but usually nothing happens and my worries only distract me from what i do

Most of us act in a similar way in our lives. We are usually paying too much attention to our fears (the cockroach that never came out) so this distracts us from our real goals and ends up limiting our potential. I've learned that even if the cockroach does get on my feet , the damage i do to myself by being distracted is far greater. So i learned not to worry over things that have yet to happen.

HERBS FOR MOOD DISORDERS

Mood disorders such as depression and anxiety can both be a part of life. With some people it can be a rare occurrence but with others it can be a common issue. It really depends on the person, their environment and their lifestyle choices. For both of these issues there are some herbs that can balance them out. So, if this is a problem in your family or in your life, it is a good idea to plant these herbs:

1. Chamomile
2. Ginseng
3. St. John’s Wort
4. Damiana
5. Vervain

things you can’t help but think about

Is it that wrong to…

• Wish you were only very, very slightly disabled so you can get better parking spots and bigger toilets…

• Wonder what level of satisfaction could actually be achieved by “accidentally” running over that pedestrian who purposefully walks across a zebra crossing like an arthritic geriatric just to slow you down…

• Actually want to swim in a huge tub of dark chocolate…

• Send back your restaurant food without the fear of having it returned with added ‘nutrients’, courtesy of the acne faced lad with flaming RED CURLY hair…

• Hear your flat mate coming up the stairs, knowing she has been at the gym, but running into the shower so you take the last of the hot water even though you’ve done jack-crap all day and don’t really need one…

• Keep borrowed items and allowing people to think they had lost them…

• Hysterically laugh at people who spectacularly STACK it in front of you…

• Keeping letting stinkers go during really sad or intense moments while in the cinema...

And the list could go on and on...

PHYTONUTRIENTS?

What are Phytonutrients?
Phytonutrients are essential organic elements found in plants. These nutrients found in natural foods bring a high level of nutrition to our bodies. These elements work internally through our digestive tract to make sure our bodies can function properly.

Where are Phytonutrients found?
Phytonutrients are found in nuts, vegetables, fruits, grains, tea, herbs, spices, and basically anything that comes from a plant that we eat. We eat them everyday and we don’t even realize it.

soulmate

A friend asked me the other day- can you love romantically only once? Although there are some that may disagree, I didn’t hesitate to say that you certainly could. I chatted about this to a few people at work, and one colleague quite adamantly gushed that there was only one person for everyone and that was what a soulmate was.

Righteo then. This prompted me to give it a little more thought.

Definition of SOULMATE: Basically, just two souls who share an amazing, personal connection.

However, thanks to the numerous romantic movies and fairytales out there, when you think of the term “soulmate” you cannot help but conjure up an over romanticised notion that there is just one person out there for you. JUST ONE?!

Think about it a little more carefully however. Just the one- in a world of over 6.7 billion people, in this day and age of constant migration, technology which enables us to travel across the globe in less than a day and communicate with strangers across entire nations, even with all this, we only have one person which we will meet, fall in love with and be together for the rest of our lives?

Perhaps. But given the infinite number of chances that is now possible in meeting more people than ever before, can you really rule out never falling in love again? Doesn’t that make the whole concept of the soulmate terribly, terribly limiting?

Becasue say, for whatever reason, the two of you just start growing in different directions or something should happen to your partner? Suddenly you are on your own, the love of your life, “supposedly” the only one you will ever have has now gone.

Do you remain resigned to the possibility of love never entering your life again? How does that begin to serve you in any kind of positive way? Would it be worth closing the door to someone else wanting to love you, wanting to walk hand in hand with you down a beautiful new path adorned with new experiences and joy?

Does loving again mean you are disrespecting or taking away from a love you may once have had? I think not. Love is bigger than that.

Years ago, I was a big believer in there being just that one person for everyone.

I first fell in love when I was 21 years old. I believed it would be forever. And two years later when it ended, for the first few months I was shell-shocked. How could this be? I truly loved with all that I had! Was that my soulmate come and gone? Was that it for me? I’m only 23!!!

However, as it would turn out, life can be as complex as it can be simple, and I learned that if you choose to remain open to infinite possibilities, and a happiness that is formless, love could indeed find you again. And it did.

I believe it was because I opened myself up to it after years of healing and gave the “rules” of the soulmate a good kick up the backside.

The love I share with my partner now is much deeper, more meaningful and feels just as new because I realised the person I was at 21 is very different to the person I am at 26.

So can you love again? I reckon you can. And I’m happy I did!

troubled tree

The carpenter I hired to help me restore an old farmhouse had just finished a rough first day on the job. A flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric saw quit, and now his ancient pickup truck refused to start. While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence.

On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands. When opening the door he underwent an amazing transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss.

Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier.

"Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied." I know I can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them on the tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again."

He paused. "Funny thing is," he smiled, "when I come out in the morning to pick 'em up, there ain't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before."
