Take a whole 60 seconds to eat a raisin or nut...

My Refocus Workshop Journal


Daily Quote: Do not dwell in the past; do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. Buddha

Body: Recent research shows that watching less TV will help you become more productive and burn more calories as a bonus. Researchers at the University of Vermont found that when study participants cut their TV time in half, they burned an extra 120 calories per day simply because they spent less time sitting idle on the couch (not necessarily because they used the extra time to exercise).

Mind: Listen to a few minutes of the morning news on the radio or TV. During the day, write down the main points of the news that you remember. Do the same in the evening.

Spirit: Take a whole 60 seconds to eat a raisin or nut. Feel it, smell it, taste it slowly chew it very slowly. Concentrate on the sensation in your mouth. Take note of your thoughts after the experience

Emotional: Plan for problems; don't expect everything in your life to go smoothly. Some things will happen to you. Some problems blindside us, but others are more predictable. Don’t fret but be prepared.

Day Fact: Depression is ranked as the leading cause of disability worldwide.
