Happy Valentines Day!

In stress, cortisol is raised and the fight or flight response is engaged. The body partially shuts down the prefrontal cortex logic center to prevent conscious interference as you escape or fight the perceived danger.

This is the mechanism at work when we experience extreme mental fog. The chronic stresses of modern life can keep us in this state. It is not necessarily the onset of dementia.

This is why meditation and the relaxation response are such useful practices for our mental clarity and sense of well-being.

Simple activities like a walk or time with friends, things that take our mind away from daily stresses can be a simple solution to give ourselves a break and let our senses re-energize for greater mental clarity in approaching our challenges.

Wise words from Anthony Hopkins:
′′Let go the people who are not prepared to love you. This is the hardest thing you will have to do in your life and it will also be the most important thing. Stop having hard conversations with people who don't want change.

Stop showing up for people who have no interest in your presence. I know your instinct is to do everything to earn the appreciation of those around you, but it's a boost that steals your time, energy, mental and physical health.

When you begin to fight for a life with joy, interest and commitment, not everyone will be ready to follow you in this place. This doesn't mean you need to change what you are, it means you should let go of the people who aren't ready to accompany you.

If you are excluded, insulted, forgotten or ignored by the people you give your time to, you don't do yourself a favor by continuing to offer your energy and your life. The truth is that you are not for everyone and not everyone is for you.

That's what makes it so special when you meet people who reciprocate love. You will know how precious you are.

The more time you spend trying to make yourself loved by someone who is unable to, the more time you waste depriving yourself of the possibility of this connection to someone else.

There are billions of people on this planet and many of them will meet with you at your level of interest and commitment.

The more you stay involved with people who use you as a pillow, a background option or a therapist for emotional healing, the longer you stay away from the community you want.

Maybe if you stop showing up, you won't be wanted. Maybe if you stop trying, the relationship will end. Maybe if you stop texting your phone will stay dark for weeks. That doesn't mean you ruined the relationship, it means the only thing holding it back was the energy that only you gave to keep it. This is not love, it's attachment. It's wanting to give a chance to those who don't deserve it. You deserve so much, there are people who should not be in your life.

The most valuable thing you have in your life is your time and energy, and both are limited. When you give your time and energy, it will define your existence.

When you realize this, you begin to understand why you are so anxious when you spend time with people, in activities, places or situations that don't suit you and shouldn't be around you, your energy is stolen.

You will begin to realize that the most important thing you can do for yourself and for everyone around you is to protect your energy more fiercely than anything else. Make your life a safe haven, in which only ′′compatible′′ people are allowed.

You are not responsible for saving anyone. You are not responsible for convincing them to improve. It's not your work to exist for people and give your life to them! If you feel bad, if you feel compelled, you will be the root of all your problems, fearing that they will not return the favours you have granted. It's your only obligation to realize that you are the love of your destiny and accept the love you deserve.

Decide that you deserve true friendship, commitment, true and complete love with healthy and prosperous people. Then wait and see how much everything begins to change. Don't waste time with people who are not worth it. Change will give you the love, the esteem, happiness and the protection you deserve.

The ups and downs of fitness and getting back in shape

Without having previously read this, I am glad to know that my self-selected food choices are fairly well-aligned with this list.

Americans are waking up to the sad fact that many of the foods sold and consumed in the US are in fact, BANNED in other countries.

RECONDITION

You don’t have to be Superman to be a super man.
You don’t need testosterone levels exploding off the charts and six pack abs to be a real man.

You don’t need to get up at 5:am and shred it at the gym and eat foods that you hate to take good care of yourself.
You don’t need to be married or even partnered to feel worthy, and you certainly don’t need the biggest house, the coolest job or the sexiest car to be or feel successful.

What you do need is a good perspective and genuine love of yourself in any position and any condition to live a life that you love.

When you learn to actually love yourself unconditionally the way a dog or a child loves, unconditionally, without judgement or blame, with fresh eyes daily, with curiosity and resilience and unquestioning persistence, the life and fulfillment you long for will come into place.

When you learn to recondition your beliefs, you can learn to recondition your life.

Having guys you can discuss health, wealth and relationships with is a great way to find encouragement and encourage others as we meet our challenges, strengthen our spirits and grow our businesses. I have been doing this for years. You can make excuses or you can make way for a life that is rewarding on all levels, despite any hardships, even loves and lives lost. Been there, done that and still there doing that. It's life. but the lens you look through and the people you surround yourself with make all the difference. Always.

Most of the desired goals I had seemed absurd, impossible and, at most, improbable at the time they were conceived. At 45, as a gay man, I had an epiphany and wanted to have children. At 47,

If you feel like you're stuck in a rut or if you are taking your life for granted in any situation, I recommend this movie. While being fun, it has a greater message. It is far more than a silly teen love story.
When my mother learned she had stage-4 breast cancer she said, "I can't believe it's my turn!"
You could be making the most of your life every day, no matter the circumstances, until you have no more days. I will not arrive at my last day with regrets for lost time.

Quick-witted teen Mark (Kyle Allen) is contentedly living the same day in an endless loop when his world is turned upside-down by the mysterious Margaret (Kathryn Newton), also stuck in the same loop. What follows is a love story with a fantastical twist, as the two struggle to figure out how – an...
