Do you remember what feeling peaceful inside is like?
It can be a challenge in our always connected world, with endless news and opinions.
It is easy (and dangerous) to get caught up in the news and opinion cycle and have our spirits captured.
It can also be Simple to return to a Place of inner Peace.
Many approaches are available- with low or no $$ or time cost. A few you could try:
Think about a piece of music that makes you smile and breathe easily. Listen for 5 or more minutes and notice how you feel.
Gaze at someone you love- in person or a photo, and remember positive things.
There are many meditations available on line that can help with focus- let me know if you would like suggestions for these.
YOU have the power to shift your perspective and improve your health.
Help your body take care of you by drinking enough water; if you have a persistent cough, an accessible, economical treatment is being well hydrated.
Think of the cilia in your respiratory tract as hairs that protect your lungs. They work best when well hydrated- your body uses the water you drink to hydrate essential parts, including the cilia.
There are other things that can help, but reaching for water first, before things get severe can be a good idea.
Our bodies have great abilities to adapt to too much or too little water; because of this, we can be complacent and not notice when improving the quality or having a glass of water instead of a different beverage can improve how we feel. Filtered water in a glass or stainless water bottle is healthier than a plastic bottle.
If you are feeling hungry, listless or tired, have a big glass of water and notice if you feel better, there's a good chance it will help.
