Emoticons are people too or Faceless Conversations

Watching a Movie the other day (Letter's to Juliet) LOVE this MOVIE! 

I felt excitement
I felt Joy
I felt Frustration
I felt pain
I felt Happy

I laughed and I cried

Since I was sitting on a plane.... I was attempting to conceal all these emotions 
(except.....  I  do think it's great to laugh out loud.... as if no one is watching)

It then was a "ah ha" moment. Heaven is a place with NO sadness or Sorrow...  But how could you really know you are experiencing Joy without ever knowing Sadness?  Hummmm

RIGHT...  Hey what about those Beatitudes  in the Bible (Matthew Chapter 5)

"BE ATTITUDE's"  is about  all about our Attitude.  

And OUR ATTITUDE 

is seated in our EMOTION. 

(dance around this thinking with me... ok?)

SO THEN  OUR EMOTIONS are .... our a result of  EXPERIENCES

How could you ever know  true Joy unless you  experienced Sorrow?

How could you ever know  true  Happiness unless you experienced  Sadness?

How could you ever know  true  Love unless......  you experienced  Loneliness?

Our life from Birth is a symphony of EMOTIONS!  

We are an emotional "people" 

we are HUMAN  

We are Fragile 

"We are"

BUT HE IS THE GREAT 

"I AM"

 ahh ha moment:   

WE need to KNOW Sadness, Sorrow, Loneliness

so we can Truly know

Joy, Happiness, Love

No wonder we now find the need to 

EXPRESS and CONVEY our Emotions 

in our Faceless conversation!!

We are a People created like our Creator..... Created In his Image

Throughout the Bible God Clearly shows us he is a God who is a loving God, but also

demonstrates his Anger (at Sin).  He is a compassionate God.  

Do you know the Story in the bible when Jesus wept when he was told his friend Lazarus was dyeing?  John 11:35

We are EMOTIONAL PEOPLE because We were Created by an Emotional GOD

GOD IS LOVE!

AND.....    Our "HEALTH" is absolutely needing

             OUR awareness of 

                             OUR "Emotional State" of Being.

NOTE:

Our Reaction to events, situations actually Set in Motion a Chemical Reaction in our Body

Candace Pert Chief of Brain Biochemistry at the National Institutes of Health,

explains Molecules of Emotion, neurotransmitters called peptides carry our

emotional messages. 

 “As our feelings change, 

this mixture of peptides travels throughout your body and your brain. 

 And they’re literally

 changing the chemistry of every cell in your body.”

When you "sing" unto the Lord... SING praises and words of a Thankful

Heart

Your Very Being is CHANGED (at a cellular level)

You want to be Healthy?

Start here....

 SMILING! 

THEN

Boost that IMMUNE system by

Daily   THANKING GOD for who HE IS

for What he has done (attitude)

PRESCRIPTION:   SING a Happy Song  out loud  t.i.d. 

(t.i.d:  Three times a Day)

seriously... SING OUTLOUD!  It will drown out any 

negative emotions

It will change our Breathing Pattern

It will affect your Heart Beat

It will transform your State of Being

(ya know I'm talking about singing a HAPPY SONG)

1 Chronicles 16:9

Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; 

meditate on and talk of all 

His wondrous works and devoutly praise them!

CIAO and Salute to your Health and Wellness..... 

just me blogging... blah blah blah

Get in Sync or TURN UP THE MUSIC

The Rhythm of Life 


The expression of being "out of Sync" comes to my mind when I thought about the importance of  Rhythm in one's life.  When I think about how I love to have Music surrounding me.  If I could live life as if I were in a Musical... Ah, that would be the best!  

Can you imagine if you could just break out in a song in the middle of the store and everyone started to sing along!  (yikes, I'm exposing my "Pazzo" self)

Hey.....  Feel the Rhythm by Turning up the Music! 
   "Up" Beat and "Up" Lifting Music

 Are you Out of Sync?

You'll know if you're " out of sync "  if you evaluate the following:

How are your sleeping habits?

How about your eating choices? Craving Sweets or Carbs?

Emotionally, do you anger easily? OR have feelings of hopeless, sadness or apathy towards life?

How is your energy level?

Relationships are good or strained?

Being in Sync can help you to not just cope with life but.... 

live life

with zest, joy and excitement

Being in Sync is about  "being healthy" 

A Prescription for Sadness:

Rx: Dance and Sing qd x life

( Rx = Prescription
qd = every day)

Let's start at the Beginning to figure out  "what  the heck I'm talking about"

and I mean "The Beginning"!

In utero  a person develops and grows in a Rhythmic environment
The very Heart Beat of the Mother who is carrying  the unborn person creates this.

Then the Tiny Little Person is comforted by the rhythmic rocking as they are held  in the mothers arms which are then close  to the mother's Heart.

Wow, think about it: What a Beautiful design God made.
We Cradle in our arms to keeps  the baby close to our Heart. They can feel our Breathing (Rhythm) and feel our Heart Beating (Rhythm).

And when being Breast Feeding, the little person can feel and possibly hear the Heart beat and Breathing  of their Mother. It's instinctual that a mother  to hold and rock her baby. .... "Rhythm"!

AND Singing while holding a baby to bring them comfort accomplishes many things.

Singing:  It controls and soothes the Mothers breathing 
(music calms the Mom which benefits the process of breast feeding)  
The musical tones and rhythms of singing  then calm the baby....
                    (oh, I need to publish a paper on this....)

ANYWAY
Guess you can read that I believe a persons life begins the moment the miracle of conception takes place.  The very design of their being occurs when the cells begin to divide and multiply and at the nanno second  of conception (sperm meets ovum)   the DNA the "map" of "Who a person is" has been determined.  

Guess you can read I believe that Breast Feeding is not only  the most natural way to feed a newborn, but the most healthy start of any persons life not just for the nutrition of the breast milk but the attachment and bonding during the process.  Nine months in utero needs to be followed with at least  9 months of being close in their mothers arms!   (yes,  there are exceptions where this can not take place, but it should be the except not a  just a lifestyle choice). 

  ALSO:

                                                                                                   

"It's too easy to forget how fundamental rhythm is in so many things and how important musical rhythm can be," said symposium participant Patrick Suppes, the Lucie Stern Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, at Stanford, who studies brainwaves and language cognition.   http://news.stanford.edu/pr/2006/pr-brainwave-053106.html

I don't want to take the time right now to discuss the way 

our body' has a  "Circadian Rhythm"  

Definition:  A circadian rhythm is any biological process that displays an endogenous, entrainable oscillation of about 24 hours.

AND...... What about when a 

Heart is 

"Off Rhythm"? (not a good thing)

     That is Called: ARRHYTHMIA   

I'm  getting off track  ....   OOPS! this blog was about
  listening to MUSIC!

Singing and Dancing

are like  eating  

Fresh Organic Fruits and Vegetables each day!

Listening, Singing and Dancing to Music feeds the Soul and Body.  
The Rhythm of  music "helps" put yourself into a RHYTHM.  
The Rhythm that every Cell in your body moves and flourishes with,  since conception.

Why do you think that when you come to "worship" at Church there is 

Music, song... Singing before the Sermon starts?

Why?  It's because it's known to Center one's thoughts and prepare ones
Heart to HEAR and become OPEN to the Pastors Teachings. 

Music Free's your SOUL ...  Music Heals and Nourishes your Being

All of this to say today.  

It is a Healthy Choice to  WAKE UP and 

TURN UP THE MUSIC.  

SING out loud, Dance around the house..... 

LIVE People, LIVE !!!   

 Get in Sync with how you were designed.   

To live life in FULLNESS and with JOY.  

THINK ABOUT THIS:  Our Creator filled this world with motion and rhythm.  Stop and listen sometimes to nature.  Even the wind blowing through the Trees, the rhythm of the waves on the shore ... ahhhhh

Dance, Sing..... Wake up 

GET IN SYNC with Music 
                     by Listening, Singing and Dancing
(every cell in your body will appreciate it)


Exodus 15:2

The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

Why New Years Resolutions Fail

How to keep focus


Are you ADD?   Golly Ghee WHIZ  dumb question right?

                             However, do YOU HAVE  an ATTENTION DEFICIT ?  

Meaning, do you keep  "focus" on your GOAL?

  What will your "GOALS" be for 2013?

Now the BIG question, 

what happened to 2012 

New Year's Resolutions (goals)?

Let's do this.

Take a look a the habit you have when you wake in the morning.
Let's say it's a work day.  Do you do the same thing each morning you wake, in the same pattern?  

HABIT:   A recurrent, often unconscious pattern of behavior that is acquired through frequent repetition.

Stop and Think about this.


YOU want to set Goals

YOU  need to keep your F O C U S on those GOALS

"True Success"  can not take place until you take a hard honest look at your

H A B I T S that inhibit your focus 

and 

interfere in reaching your goals.  

So THEN,    you're not really a person with ADD, you just have developed habits that over rule your ability to change your focus  and achieve your goals.

Measure that Waist line!     

So before you start the "NEW YEARS RESOLUTION" 

 sit  facing a  corner and have a talk with YOU.

What is your eating and exercise habits!  (ouch that conversation may be painful) 

OH YA....How about the daily habit of  feeding and exercising your Spiritual Being?  

How much time and effort do you spent keeping your Spirit Healthy? 

Then have a come to Jesus talk with yourself before writing your "new years resolutions"
  
Discuss the Habits you have developed that grew from Laziness and Selfishness  of choosing to live an indulgent life of self pleasure and instant gratification. 


It Stinks!   But, we actually need the Therapist Couch and Jesus as our Therapist to figure out why we fail.   It starts with being honest with what is the TRUE DESIRE of our Heart!

Is our Focus and Goals to Please the Lord and care for his Temple

 or

Please our Carnal Nature of Self Pleasure?

1 Samuel 16:7

For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance,

 but the Lord looks on the heart.”

Every year we make New Years Resolutions!  

And they are the Same STINKING resolutions!


Cheer's to the NEW YEAR, NEW BEGINNINGS and Health and Wellness

BEING ME! re-born, re-invented, a "do over"

Why wait?


First Day of the Rest of my Life.

 "once again" 
I'm trying to develop a new habit of taking care of me with this new "FITBIT"
Device I received for Christmas.  It's a device that keeps record....

It will hold me accountable with FACTS not what I "think and want to believe I am doing".  OUCH! 

My goal is not about losing weight and getting fit, but being"ME".  

  The "ME" who knows what to do and isn't doing it consistently!  
 (consistently being the operative word)  

To walk the talk is to: 

To Act on what we KNOW! To  show good judgement and strength and wisdom to say "NO" to poor choices.  This is about BEING ME!  The Me God Created  is the "ME in HIM" 

Acts 17:28 

In Him  Jesus)

we ("ME" )

live and move 

and 

have our being. 

2013 Goals

HABIT #1  Commit All I do unto him

Whether it is eating, drinking, moving, "talking"

HABIT #2 Keep my Mind on Him... when distracted 

I will STOP, BREATHE and Speak His Word!

HABIT #3  Learn to Shut up! and LISTEN

Listen to HIM (His word)

CIAO and Salute!

MIND Heart CONNECTION

 Isaiah 55:8

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD.

Health starts in our Mind

What is in our Mind starts in our Heart

I was reminded yesterday as I took a walk at lunch time (trying to do the right thing) listening to music to uplift and minister to me, praying for those I love...

anyway

... the Scripture when Christ  was hanging on the cross and saying to His Father  

 

“Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me;

 yet not my will, but yours be done.” Luke 22:42

It was an "ah ha" moment.   What was Jesus's will?   Seriously, did Jesus think something else could have, should of be done.... did he have his own agenda for his life.  An agenda that allowed him to live longer?  Ya, why didn't Jesus live to be 100 years old?  Just think of the work he could have done.

If Jesus had to say "not my will" then I need to re-think why I believe "I know".

Leave it all to GOD who knows what needs to be done here on Earth. TRUST HIM.  

His Thoughts, His Way.... 

Just some "Spiritual FOOD ".  

Feeding my Mind and Heart GOOD NATURAL ORGANIC FOOD. 

Having a Cup of God's Word to start my day.  (ok, I also have a cup of coffee with me too)

Salute!  To your Health and Wellness
