Be Creative, Express Yourself

 

Be Creative, Express Yourself

Viewing a work of art or a drawing or painting created by yourself or a loved one can uplift you.  Painting or drawing in itself can be invigorating to the spirit.  Express your creativity by creating art or by putting to pen and paper a thought.  

We  have a tremendous amount of creativity in each and every one of us, we just have to find it.  It lies dormant until we tap into it and once that happens, there is a gush that is unstoppable.  That creativity must be put into motion through writing, composing, visual art, music or expression through poetry.

Creativity is the muse that calls us to express our inner thoughts and feelings.  There are ideas within each person that longs to be set free through expression.  Those ideas are kicking at the door of your very being to get out and to be set free.

For instance, take the old masters.  Van Gogh’s inner self probably pressured and pressured him until he could no longer ignore the urgings to release the creativity within him.  According to historical writings this man could not help but to create, he was driven.

Monet, an impressionist painter expressed his creativity by painting the landscape on his property and the scenery around him.  These are two artists who tried to satisfy their muse.  

The point is, express yourself in whatever way you choose.  Just do it.  We all have something to say, whether it is audible or visual.  We are all creative beings.

Express yourself.

TRY CHRIST! Help Is Here

 

Help is Here. Try Christ!

When you need help, and we all need help at one time or another, try Christ.

There is no greater helper than Jesus Christ.

Whatever the issue, whatever the problem, try Christ. There is no better helper.

Tell him what is on your heart. He already knows, but He wants you to come to Him and seek His help.  He promised to never leave you or forsake you.  He will be with you until the end of the age.  You can depend on His promises. He loves you.  He died on the cross for you.  His resurrection triumphed over death and hell so that you could have a new

                                  

relationship with God through Him and have eternal life.

Fret not!  Help is here. If you have not received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, do it now.  Do not wait.  It is as simple as confessing this:  

I confess with my mouth and believe in my heart that Jesus died on the cross for my sins.  He was buried and rose from the grave, He ascended to Heaven and is seated on the right hand of God, the Father.  Lord Jesus Christ, I receive You into my heart as my Lord and Savior.  I thank you to forgive my sins.  Proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord!

After this confession you have become born again and you are a new creation in Christ.

Reference: 

    Romans 10:9-10  Confess and believe in your heart     

    Ephesians  2:8       Saved by Grace through Faith, a gift    of God                          2 Corinthians 5:17 A new creation in Christ

 SO, ARE YOU READY YET?

Exercise and Stretch

You will feel better!

Have you worked on the list of goals that you laid out for yourself ?

We all have things that we would like to work on to improve ourselves or our lot in life.  Sometimes that can be hard to do.  Therefore, a plan of action is necessary.  For starters, identify those things that really need attention.  Make a list and prioritize according to the most needy.

Next, decide how to go about making a change.  Is this going to cost much or anything at all?  Do I have the mental or physical energy to begin the process? 

If you need to summon the energy to get started, do stretching exercises.

Stretching exercises awakens the mind and the body, as well as allows the muscles to stretch out.  This helps prevent injury when moving the body during simple movement such as walking, bending or flexing.  Stretching also, gets blood flowing to the brain, then circulating throughout the body.

All activity starts in the mind.  If blood is flowing to the brain then, the mind is equipped to do its work, that is, to transmit messages to the body to do its work. The work or task is to develop a plan of action that effects your life to your satisfaction.

Exercise benefits the mind and the body.  Moderate exercise can make you feel refreshed and invigorated.

Stretching is a good way to start exercising. Stretching the muscles help prevent cramping when you move around.  You feel invigorated after stretching. You can stretch anytime anywhere.  This is just a suggested Simple stretch:

Stretch your arms above your head like you are reaching for the sky.  Really reach. Hold that position for a count of 10.

Stretch your arms out on both sides.  Hold for a count of 10.

Next, bend your knees slightly as you bend over to touch your toes.  If you cannot that is fine.  Your leg muscles have not stretched out enough for you to reach your toes, they will.  Hold this for count of 10.  Then slowly straighten up to a standing position.  This is a basic stretch that may get your body awake and the muscles ready for movement.  That invigorating feeling can now be circulated to the mind.  You can now begin to make a plan to work on the things you want to improve or change.  If you are not yet ready for this step, stretch.

Useful Tips for Everyday Living- Care for Caregivers

 Tips for Caregivers Care

Caregivers are people who care for someone other than themselves. Caring for the sick or disabled, whether it be for an adult or child, is a full time job.  

It is important for caregivers to take care of themselves in order to take care of others.  

There are state and community based services that offer support to the caregiver.

Seek these out in your state or community for help.  There is information on www.us.gov that you will find helpful.

  

Depression, anxiety, and stress are issues that can overtake the caregiver.  There is support to keep this at a minimum so that the caregiver can provide care for a longer period of time and so that the need for costly institution care can be avoided or delayed.

These are suggestions to help caregivers take care of themselves. 

These suggestions are meant to help relieve stress and anxiety so that the caregiver can benefit from restful sleep:

• Start the day with prayer and a scripture reading.  Talking to the Lord is strengthening and up-lifting. 
•  Cast   your cares on Jesus.  Claim Healing in His Name.

• PRAYER FOR HEALING:

Heavenly Father, You are Majesty, You are Sovereign, You are Creator of all. Thank You for Your Grace and Your Mercy. Because Jesus Christ died on the Cross for our sins and was Resurrected, I believe we are already healed from sickness and suffering.  By His Stripes we are healed.  We only need to claim this healing. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I claim healing for my loved one. I believe it, I receive it for him (her). Thank you, Lord,  Amen  

PRAY this prayer for your loved one daily, or even better, have your loved one PRAY for himself or herself.  

• Relax when you can - Have something to do to occupy your relaxation time, such as, reading, using a    computer, or working a puzzle, or just rest your mind.

• Take care of your body.  Do stretching and strengthening exercises.  Some can be done in a sitting position.
• Do mental exercises or crossword puzzles.
• Take a walk daily, if possible. Get someone to relieve you for that period of time.

• “Musick has charm to soothe the savage beast.”  (A quote by  William Congreve,  from the Mourning Bride, 1697)

(Let this quote inspire you to listen to your favorite music while relaxing.  Your loved one may find listening to music can have a soothing effect. Classical or inspirational music would be a good choice, or whatever you prefer.)

•     Do not hesitate to ask for help when you need it.       

•   Acknowledge your feelings.  Face feelings of anger, sadness, guilt, loneliness, whatever you are feeling.  Talk to someone to whom you can express these feelings. Talk to a pastor, a counselor, or join a support group.  These are people who probably are not judgmental, and will be willing to listen.  After all, they                     probably have similar challenges and are looking for support themselves and a listening ear for their issues.

Useful Tips For Everyday Living: Wash Hands Use Wipes

Clean = Prevention= Better Health

Washing your hands frequently and keeping dust bunnies at bay are things you can do to promote healthy living.  We live in a world that we naturally share with germs and bacteria.  We can protect ourselves from unnecessary illnesses and diseases, simply by taking precautions such as practicing cleanliness.  

Because germs are transferable from one person to another as we work together, socialize together, travel and shop together.  This is society.  If you are going to be out and about and not be reclusive, then you may be at risk of catching a cold, or some other minor illness that is easily transferable and, can develop into something more serious like the flu.

Before you end up in the doctor’s office or make a visit to the emergency room, take some precautions on your own.

• Wash your hands frequently.  Even if you feel like you are washing the skin off - WASH YOUR HANDS FREQUENTLY

• Use Antiseptic Hand Sanitizer or Hand Wipes when you cannot wash your hands as frequently as you like.

• When using a paper towel dispenser, dispense the paper towels before you wash your hands. After washing your hands, tear off the paper towels and dry your hands.  In this way you will not touch the dispenser after you have washed your hands.  Thus, no transfer of germs.

• Do not touch the door handle of a public restroom after washing your hands.

Use a paper towel or even your sleeve to open the door.  There are millions of germs on that handle.

• Carry disposable wipes at all times.  Wipe down anything that you might touch in a public place.  For example, if you use a shopping cart at the grocery store, wipe down the cross bar that is used to push the cart. If you have a baby or a toddler, wipe down that entire seat, including the cross bar before you put your child in that seat.

• When using a touch pad at the bank or grocery self check out, use the stylus that is provided.  Avoid using your finger unless you are wearing gloves.  Some stores have a touch window that you must touch with your finger.  Try to wear gloves or use hand sanitizer immediately afterwards.

  

• Of course, door handles anywhere are a breeding ground for germs. Sometimes, you cannot avoid touching the handle of the door of a public building, just remember to sanitize your hands or wear a pair of gloves. More and more buildings have installed automatic doors that open and shut on their own.  EXCELLENT

• The COMPUTER keypad and mouse or touchpad are another breeding ground for germs.  Buy a box of antiseptic wipes or sterile alcohol prep pads. The pads  are small and come in pouches of a box of 25, 50, for example. Keep them at the computer and wipe the keys, the mouse or touch pad before and after use.  Because they are small, they are easy to use to clean the keys. Wipe down your computer desk, even if you are the only person using it.  Do this frequently. If you work in an office and use a computer, then it is essential that you take this precaution. 

• You should use wipes whenever you go to the Public Library.  It is a public place. Wipe down the computer before you use it.

• Dusting hardwood floors and furniture can improve your home environmental health.  If you have carpet, vacuum frequently.  Do not let dust collect on floors and furniture, especially where you sleep.  Make sure the bedroom floor is dust free, whether you have carpet or hardwood floors. Dust can contribute to respiratory problems and, can aggravate asthma, not to mention provide a place for mites to live.

How To Clean Veggies

How Clean Veggies

Caring for  vegetables  starts at the grocery store.  

First, you should select the healthiest looking veggies that you can find. If you are looking for leafy greens, make sure you select greens that are not wilted, that are not yellow, and, that are not too wet.

Many grocery stores carry packaged vegetables and unpackaged vegetables.  Packaged vegetables usually are pre washed. However, it is a good idea to run them under the faucet before you eat them.  (This is a personal precaution.)  

Carrots and leafy greens are items that you can purchase already packaged or, loose, if so desired. Herbs are usually packaged in small quantities.  Potatoes, tomatoes, fruit,  and onions are also sold per item or packaged.

Because a grocery store is a public place where most of us go to buy food, we should be aware that there are germs and bacteria there, too.  Produce is brought in from farms all over the country and imported from farms in other countries.

Although produce is inspected and washed before it reaches the grocery store, it is a good idea to wash it when you get home. Produce comes from the earth.  What is in that soil? dirt and bugs.  In case something was missed, you should wash your produce before preparing it for you and your family.

Now, there is another issue that may need your attention.  When selecting your vegetables, if they are not prepackaged, place them in a plastic bag that is provided by the store.  This protects vegetables  from picking up any more germs or dirt before you get to the checkout.  Always, place loose vegetables in a plastic or paper bag, whatever is provided by the store, before you get to the checkout. 

Many, many people place vegetables directly on the checkout conveyer belt, sans bag.  That is, they place vegetables, unpackaged, unprotected by a plastic bag onto the dirty, germ ridden conveyer belt to be rung up and bagged.  So, what happens, more contaminants get on your vegetables just from the checkout conveyer belt, alone.  Remember, you can ingest these contaminates right along with your tasty vegetables.

Germs and bacteria can be brought into your home just by innocently shopping for vegetables for dinner.  

• Precaution:  bag your produce in plastic bags that are provided by the store.  They are there for a reason. 

• Never  place vegetables that are not protected by a plastic or paper bag onto a checkout conveyer belt.

• Thoroughly, wash vegetables before using them. A solution of white vinegar and water is good for washing vegetables.  A mild soap and water solution can’t hurt, either.
