Getting Older

My father is turning 60 today. I used to think that 60-years-old man looks like the wizard from the fairy tales  – with a big peaked hat, long white beard and a stern look behind the glasses. Not saying empty words and talking only about edifying stuffs. Well, my father has nothing to do with that description. He was dancing like a young teenager today and when I asked him for an advice about a car buying and what would be the more reasonable choice, he nominate the one that burn a lot more but also get the speed a way faster. Oh, how I want to get old the same way and have the same smile as my Dad when I’m on his age.

Time for New Decor

I’ve been planning to re-decorate my living room and wanted something unusual. No more paintings, vases, framed photos and so on. I wanted something wild. Nothing could attract my attention till the day I found this great web store. They had an excellent collection of metal and wood wall hangings and sculptures. The piece I liked most was a metal bike wall art which will be perfect addition to my living room. I guess I’ll have to choose a different wall paint as the metal bike won’t match the present greenish walls. They should be in neutral tones I think.

Anorexia – A Dangerous Disease

Predisposition for anorexia may appear as early as infancy, when a child doesn’t receive enough love and care from its mother. Later on in teenage years anorexia might because from problems with classmates, and the view of perfect bodies on television. Though many people underestimate it anorexia is one of the most dangerous diseases of our time.

When there is reduction of weight in teenage years, this should be a signal to parents that there is a problem. The diets in newspapers and magazines are very unprofessional. And everybody needs a personalized diet to loose weight in a healthy way. If a teenager between 14 and 18 years, decides to follow a diet and soon there is an indication for weight reduction and increase in blood sugar, parents should take their child to a doctor or dietitian.

Self Programming

Psychologists attach great importance to the method of self programming. According to them, dreams for example should not be treated as predictions of future events, but rather as an opportunity to know yourself better.

And self programming is achieved through autosuggestion. If we learn systematically and continuously interact with ourselves, we could use our inner strength and be able to change not only our emotions but also to protect our physical health. Yoga practitioners are a shining example, they are able to concentrate so well that even the blade of a knife or broken glass does not harm them.

The main condition for self programming is to establish connection between the conscious and unconscious.

The Lost City of the Incas

My dream is to visit Machu Picchu, the “Lost City of the Incas”. I’ve read so much about it and wish to explore it myself. Since the area is hardly accessible, the question how the city was built still remains a mystery as scientists haven’t got the answer. How these huge limestone blocks needed for the building of the city were carried so high? And why its citizens disappeared so mysteriously? I want to know the answers to these and so many other questions. It’s situated at an altitude of 2430 m and I’ve never been to a place so high.

Life Coach

Life coach is the newest profession, which has enjoyed great success. Life coach is not a psychologist, but look like one. His role is to provide professional advice and guide you how to act in certain situations.
Often a person is too overwhelmed and wishes to dump everything because he is tired of everyday problems. In a moment like this it’s good to meet a life coach and talk to him. It will be just like a conversation with a good friend. However, there is difference. Close friends often makes erroneous assessment of the problem and unwittingly may give a wrong advice whereas a life coach is a pro. Communicating with him is easy, enjoyable, not burdensome, and above all confidential.

The Season of Love

Our favorite season is indicative of what we are.
Summer is the season of the leaders, so those who prefer this season, are meant to lead. In most cases they are bright individuals who contaminate others with their endless energy and positive thinking. Their minds are full of ideas and the arms can not wait to implement them. Therefore, those who love summer can be great managers, though sometimes they can go to extremes. These people are able to experience uncontrollable passion and love.
However, when their love is not shared, they become too sentimental, and become victims of unrequited romance.

A Good Advantage in Life

It is a pity when a small child is not able go to nursery school due to some medical reasons. You can teach them a lot at home as in reading, writing, counting, drawing, and making things. You can even start teaching them the ABC’s of different language. Being able to speak at least 2 languages will be a great advantage to them later in life. However, whatever you do to entertain them you can’t make up for the company of other children of the same age. At least such children will have a very good start later at school.

Love and Be Loved in Return

Besides a healthy diet and regular exercises there are other things that prolong our life. Unfortunately, we often ignore them or we do not have time for them. But they are essential to us as we all need LOVE. Love extends life with at least 5 years.
This is the love we experience when we are young, mature, and even very old. It’s never too late to find the love and once you do it will bring harmony and balance to your soul. However not only love between man and woman gives us long and sweet life. Each form of love is for our health.

The Best Housekeeper

My mother is a great housekeeper, the best one you can imagine. And I really admire her for is that she do all her household chores with pleasure. I know many other women keep their homes clean and tidy and are very good mothers but I doubt they all find pleasure in being stay-at-home moms who clean and cook all they long. When I was younger I never paid attention to such things but now when I have a family on my own I know what it takes to be a stay-at-home mom. I wanted to show my mom that I really appreciate all her hard work and while thinking on how to express it, I found in a store a fabulous kitchen metal art piece and knew she would like it a lot.
