Food for thought…Do Yourself a favor

Do yourself a favor and do the difficult, unpleasant stuff first. Get it out of the way so you can more fully enjoy the rest of the day.

Do yourself a favor and let go of your resentment toward whatever you have to do. Resentment hurts you, brings you down, serves no positive purpose, and you can easily do without it.

Do yourself a favor and forgive those who have wronged you, slighted you, or done anything to offend you. Forgive, and enable yourself to move on beyond the pain.

Do yourself a favor, and do something just because you love to do it. Express the joy of being alive in the most authentic way you can imagine.

Do yourself a favor, and let gratitude fill your heart. The more you can be thankful for, the more abundantly you will live.

Do yourself a favor, and seek new ways to be kind, considerate, generous, and genuine. Life is what you give it, so give life the best of what you want it to be.

Recipe to Try…

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425° F. Lightly drizzle sliced squash with olive oil and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of curry powder over squash. Roast in oven for 25 minutes, turning squash over half way through cooking. Remove squash from oven and let cool, then roughly chop. While squash is roasting, finely chop kale and red onion.

2. In a food processor, roughly chop garbanzo beans. Most of the beans should be chopped but you should still have some whole beans remaining.

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped garbanzo beans, chopped squash, kale, red onion, garlic powder and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder. Mix well.

4. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, reduce heat to medium before adding chickpea cakes. Form small cakes using about 1 1/2 tablespoons of mixture. Cook cakes for 4 minutes on each side, or until cakes are brown and slightly crispy.

5. For Curry Yogurt Dipping Sauce: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Keep refrigerated until use.

4 Reasons You – Yes You – Should Try Tai Chi Right Now By Anna Medaris Miller; a Health & Wellness editor at U.S. News

Tai chi 101 Tai chi, an ancient Chinese practice with several more modern (but still centuries-old) styles, is defined by its combi-nation of movements, meditation and deep breathing. “That’s where people, over time, get health benefits … because while you do the movements, you have to learn how to control your thoughts and adjust your breathing,” says Linda Huang, who directs the American Tai Chi and Qigong Association in Herndon, Virginia. You can learn tai chi at an increasing number of facilities (ATCQA has a locator), and practice it anywhere. You just need a little space and com-fortable clothing. Like meditation, five minutes is better than none, though the more often and consistently you prac-tice, the more physical and mental improvements you’ll see. Here’s why you should get started: You're old. The stereotype that tai chi is only for older adults is false, but is based in strong science on its health advantages for seniors. “It does have very good benefits for those diseases usually associated with older people,” Huang says. For example, a 2017 review of 10 studies published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society found that tai chi may reduce the rate of falls among older adults by as much as 50 percent. Other research has linked the practice with boosted immunity and improved brain power among seniors, as well as improvements in conditions that are more common in older age like high blood pressure, diabetes and osteoarthritis. You're young. While few studies have looked at tai chi’s benefits for healthy, young populations, there’s no reason to believe its ef-fects wouldn’t translate – particularly when it comes to the emotional benefits, says Peter Wayne, an associate profes-sor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and founder and director of the Tree of Life Tai Chi Center in Sommer-ville, Massachusetts. “A lot of young people who are attracted to meditation as a concept … just can’t sit still,” he says. “Tai chi offers meditation or mindfulness on wheels.” Some schools and community programs are offering tai chi for children, which may help with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and even violence prevention, small studies suggest. You need a mood boost. Just try feeling blue when you’re standing tall and your arms are outstretched in a victorious pose toward the sun. It’s not easy, Wayne points out, and could help explain why tai chi has proven mental health benefits. “The shapes we take greatly affect our mood,” he says. One randomized trial of Chinese-American adults with mild to moderate de-pression, for example, found that a 12-week tai chi program improved symptoms significantly more than an educa-tion intervention or none at all. Even some Veteran’s Health Administration facilities use tai chi and other integrative therapies in routine care for veterans with PTSD, depression and other conditions. You're in pain. Tai chi may seem too simple, too ancient, too non-technical to be a sufficient solution for a problem as complicated and pervasive as chronic pain. But the evidence is stacking up. Consider a study just out this year in BMJ finding that tai chi was just as, if not more, effective in treating fibromyalgia than aerobic exercise. Other research supports tai chi as an effective way to find relief from neck and back pain, as well as arthritis and Parkinson’s disease symptoms. Such mind-body interventions, Wayne says, “are not just fixing the foot or shoulder or range of motion or blood pressure, but they’re more like an ecological intervention that involves … the whole system.”
