South Africa September October 2020

Page 1


Hello Beautiful People! Hello Beautiful People! This month we are not even talking about Covid or Lockdown. We are reinventing 2020 on our own terms. Full steam ahead with a new life where fake news and government shenanigans do not even touch our state of mind anymore! Let's be inspired by some great things to do to embrace life, grow and stay positive and focused. We researched a list of things to do for the passionate improvement of our mindset, health and income. Magnanimous equanimity is the new order of the day, we have great new appreciation for so many things and are witnessing so many inspiring Random Acts Of Kindness toward ourselves and others. As always, we celebrate some of the excellence of the innovative and resourceful endeavours of South Africans who set a positive tone for our beloved rainbow nation. We

rock on!

Let's reinvent 2020 and Go for New dreams! Calm, Playful & Powerful. You can read the full newsletter online, page through this digital magazine, click and read or print the PDF. Thank you so much to all who print this out as infotainment for their friends, visitors & guests! I receive Very interesting feedback from all over the world!

Ways to help your brain to help you.

Be aware of your breathing. Focusing on deep and slow breathing calms the stress responses as the brain receives the signal that you are not in an immediate life-threatening situation.

Practice Gratitude. Counting your blessings has a physiological effect on your brain. The secretion of feel good hormones enables the brain to relax the stress responses and constant Adrenaline secretion which causes discord in all the systems of the body.

Movement stimulates

We are mostly wired and pre-programmed for worst case scenarios as it is the job of our Egotistical thinking to keep us alive and safe from bad luck, ridicule, hunger, poverty etc. Thus, it is constantly scanning our inner and outer environment for possible danger, misfortune and warnings.

blood flow and enhances the provision of Oxygen for clear thinking. ●

To balance that, we have the innate ability to control our minds by becoming aware that thoughts are just thoughts. The brain does not know the difference between a real threat and a thought about a possible threat or between our perception of what someone thinks of us and what they actually think of us. It responds with the same stress hormone secretions.

Move your body.

Inner Dialogue. Be aware of negative self-talk and replace it with positive, more self appreciating phrases. Read More...

Boost your immune system Eat healthy, fresh, whole food, sleep enough, exercise, meditate, calm yourself with slow, deep breathing, drink water, think nice thoughts and be grateful for small things. The body is a highly intelligent 'machine' that takes care of itself if you take care of it. Your body is full of trillions of friendly bacteria, viruses and fungi. They are collectively known as the microbiome and directly linked to your immune system, health and vitality. High stress levels, too little sleep, eating processed foods and taking antibiotics can all damage our gut microbiome. This affects many other aspects of our health, such as the brain, heart, immune system, skin, weight, hormone levels, ability to absorb nutrients and even the development of cancer. You have more bacteria in your body than you have cells. Most are good for you. The ones found in your gut, not only help you digest food, they work all over your body and can be good for your physical and mental health.

The healthiest, fastest and cheapest way to grow a healthier gut microbiome is to ferment your own fresh fruit and vegetables. Especially if you grow it yourself. After fermented food, which improves nutrition, raw food still has way more nutrients than any cooking method renders.
