If you want to get more done in a day, the best way to make that happen is to have more energy all day long.

These top 5 tips will insure you don’t run out of steam during the day.  You will be amazed at how much more you can get done in a day when you have the energy.

#1 Stay Hydrated!

I can’t stress this enough.  Most people do not drink enough water in a day.  Notice I said water and not soda pop, coffee or tea.  Every animal on the planet drinks water and so should you.  Your body is mostly water and all of your cells need fresh water to bring in nourishment as well as to carry away wastes.

Symptoms of being dehydrated: headaches, low energy, dry skin, dry or sticky mouth, poor sleep, thirst, constipation, dizziness or feeling lightheaded.  (The list goes on and on)   Read More

According to Your Body’s Many Cries for Water (which I have read and referenced more than once) the formula for how much water you actually need it to take your body weight in lbs and divide by 2 and consume that much water divided up through the day.  So if you weighed 200lbs, you would need 100 ounces of water a day.  This may sound like a lot, but it is easily consumed when you use a 20 once water bottle and drink it at 5 different times spaced throughout the day.

When you begin doing this make sure you get the minerals you need, which brings me to number 2:

#2 MINERALS and Electrolytes

You need minerals, Electrolytes and salt to survive.  I’m not talking about table salt either; I am talking about real natural salt from the ocean which has up to 86 minerals in it.  Table salt has had all its minerals removed and only sodium left which is then combined with Iodine.

Sometime in the future I will do a write up on all the benefits of salt and minerals, but suffice to say that the water cure mentioned above says that for every 32 oz of water, you consume 1/4tsp of natural salt.   So a 16oz glass of water would only need 1/8th tsp of salt.

Try your best to stay away from table salt and processed food as this salt is said to cause health problems.

Here is the EXACT salt that I just ordered from Amazon and had delivered yesterday:   My Favorite Salt

Along with water intake, this salt will replenish your body with minerals that would be washed away from the water intake.  You will flush out toxins and feel incredible.

#3 Include a Healthy Protein with EVERY Meal!

Be sure you include a healthy protein with every meal and snack you eat; otherwise you may find your energy crashing after a sugar spike comes crashing back down.  When you include a healthy protein source, it takes longer to digest and keeps your blood sugar more even between meals and prevents that after lunch or after breakfast energy crash.

A good way to sabotage your energy is to start you day off with a high carbohydrate cereal for breakfast with no source of  protein.

Here are some healthy proteins you are sure to enjoy: Meats, Poultry, Eggs, Fish (wild caught), raw nuts and nut butters.

A great example for a snack is to have a few nuts along with some fruit.  Eggs are great for breakfast and if you are short on time in the mornings, then hard boil some eggs the night before.

#4 Stop Stimulants

Energy drinks and even coffee tend to send your energy crashing later in the day.  After a while your body builds up a resistance to the effects of caffeine and people tend to slowly increase their intake or combine energy drinks all in order to get that extra boost in the morning.  Next thing you know you can’t even handle a day without caffeine.  In fact, it is common for people to become addicted to caffeine and require it daily just to avoid getting a headache or nausea.

On top of all this, caffeine is a diuretic and it dehydrates your body (see Tip #1) which means you will need even more water just to feel good.

If you are addicted to caffeine I certainly don’t advocate stopping cold turkey as you and everyone around you will become quite miserable.  Instead try following these other tips and slowly lower your intake and soon you’ll feel far more energized.

#5 Exercise

This is the hardest one for most people, but daily exercise will really boost your energy throughout the day.   You will more than make up for the time you spent exercising by having energy when you come home from work and late into the evening.  Here are a few of the scientifically proven health benefits of exercise:

Longevity (You will live longer)

Better Weight Control (shed fat)

Lowers Blood Pressure

Lowers Cholesterol

Prevents and controls Diabetes

Improves Cardiovascular Health

Better Antidepressant than pills (with much healthier side effects)

Improved Muscle Strength and Tone

Improved Bone Strength

Improved Mental Function

Sleep Better At Night

Exercise does NOT have to mean pushing your body to the limit in a sweaty gym.  The best form of exercise, especially if you have been sitting on your bottom for many years, is to go outside and start walking.  30 minutes of walking a day will greatly improve your life.

I am totally engrossed in the beauty of this moment.  Time stands still.  The purple of the flowers become more vivid and the beauty of the moment overtakes my senses.  I feel the heat of the sun on my face intensify.  A cool breeze removes the heat and it feels wonderful as it passes.  My hair tickles my forehead.

The bumble bee leaves the flowers and buzzes around me before he flies off.

Goodbye friend.

Moments like these are always happening, but when you take time to stop and notice them the joy from childhood returns.  There are no ordinary moments in life.  You’ve just been missing them.

HOMEWORK: Take a moment today to watch and to listen to this wonderful world we are passing through.  Really watch and listen without judgement.  Become engrossed in the moment.  It doesn’t matter where you are, there is a beauty to life everywhere and inside every single thing.

These are the moments that make life special.  It’s hard to remember, but you used to live from one amazing moment to the next when you were a child.   Everything was new and exciting.

The only thing that has changed since then is you.

Slow down.

Enjoy the moment.

Enjoy being alive.

A few weeks ago I redesigned the look and feel of this site. I have mixed feelings about the new design however.

Here is the old look:

(By the way, I could have never fit a picture this large
on the old design because it would have been to wide)

Of course, I don’t need to put a picture up of the new look since you can see it live right now (on this very page).

I still have a soft spot for the old design.  I liked having three columns, and the look was more unique, but I felt that it left the main area for the articles too small to work with.  You would have to read everything in a very narrow column.

The New design loads faster, and I made the font a lot bigger which makes it easier on the eyes.  The main area is much larger to work with, but I only have to 2 columns instead of 3 and the site looks so much more like thousands of others that I feel it is no longer as unique.

That is where you come in.

I have been using Boku SuperFood for the last 9 months.

Why do I prefer Boku SuperFood over Vitamineral Green?

Top 10 reasons I switched:

1) Boku is cheaper.  (See The Low Amazon Price Here)

UPDATE: Boku is cheapest (when you order here!)
UPDATE:: 25% off the lowest price when you join autoship is
UPDATE:: an amazing deal.   Count me in for sure!

2) I think Boku tastes better.

3) Vitamineral Green’s 2nd ingredient is Horsetail grass, which contains nicotine, which is a strong vasoconstrictor.  I am watching my blood pressure and certainly don’t need anything that can raise it.  Besides, who wants nicotine in their vitamin rich green super food?

4) Boku SuperFood provides the actual break down of vitamins and minerals and for some reason Vitamineral Green does not.  So even though I can see what ingredients are in the package, I don’t know how much iodine, magnesium, zinc, selenium, etc. I am getting per serving when I use the Vitamineral green.  I asked about this and was told that the recipe for Vitamineral green is constantly changing and no two bottles are the same.  That didn’t inspire much confidence in me.

5) Maca Root – this amazing root is a true adaptogen, which means it will go to work differently in each body, adapting to your internal environment and helping you where you need it most.  It is best known to increase energy and endurance, stamina, and improve sexual function in both men and women.  Studies show improvement in Hypothalamus, Adrenal Galns, Thryoid, Pancreas, Thymus, Testes, Ovaries and Pituitary gland.   Maca root is only found in Boku Super Food, not in Vitamineral Green.  Do some research online and I bet you’ll want Maca Root in your green formula too!

6) Himalayan Pink Crytal Salt – Considered by many experts to be the worlds perfect salt.  Nothing at all like the un-healthy table salt sold in grocery stores.  Himalayan salt has 84 minerals and trace elements, whereas table salt is devoid of nutrients and has two minerals. Research Himalayan Pink Crystal Salt, and you’ll see why this is a super food, and in small amounts I believe it to be good for my health.  Boku Super Food has it, Vitamineral Green does not.

7) Goji Berry – Goji Berrier are one of the most nutritionally dense foods in existence. They are high in plant-derived polyphenolic antioxidants; carotenoids such as beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, lutein, beta-cryptoxanthin, and lycopene; vitamins C, B1, B2, and niacin; more than 30 essential and trace minerals, including zinc, iron, copper, calcium, selenium, and phosphorus; polysaccharides; and 18 amino acids such as isoleucine, tryptophan, leucine, and arginine.   Boku Super Food has it, Vitamineral Green does not.

8 ) Hawthorn Berry – because I am looking to protect my heart and my cardiovascular system.  Hawthorn berries have been described as “food for your heart” and are thought to provide nutrients that help keep the heart muscle strong and blood pressure normalized.  Boku Super Food has it, Vitamineral Green does not.

9) Boku Super Food is the green food of choice for Natural News and Mike Adams “The Health Ranger”.  You can bet Mike has tried ALL the green food out there, and he highly recommends Vitamineral Green also, but the one he chooses to eat/drink everyday is Boku Superfood.

10) Why are these lists always a top 10 and never a top 9?  Only 9 reasons are springing to mind, but a “Top 9 reasons” list sounds so lame.  I suppose I could make my number ten be the fact that my kids made up a song about Boku SuperFood, and they never did that for Vitamineral Green.  Or how about the people at Boku have turned their product name into a verb.  I heard this in a video, “Here is how I Boku.”  You could never say that with Vitamineral Green.

So that was my Top 10 9 list of reasons why I switched from Vitamineral Green to Boku Superfood.

One thing to note is that Boku likes to surprise me with their packaging.  My first bottle came shipped in a brown glass bottle, and then it was delivered in a white round tub, and the next month it came in fancy and space saving resealable bag.  Two months in a row I got the bag, and then for some reason I was shipped the plastic tub again.  This month?  Back to the bag.   So I never really know what to expect.

Bag or Tub, it doesn’t matter to me.  What’s inside is what counts, and what’s inside is always good.

That said, I still think Vitamineral Green is a great product, so don’t fret if you decide to stay with Vitamineral Green.

Check out Boku Super Food – Click Here

It makes sense that by ordering it directly from the product creator you get the best price.   This is nearly half the price I used to pay for Vitamineral Green.

I Love My Boku Superfood!

My thought was that  I would simply go back to raw the day after thanksgiving, but that is not what happened.  It was not until yesterday that I returned to eating all raw all day.

Before I tell you what happened, I want to clarify that I didn’t “over eat” on Thanksgiving and eat tons of food.  No, not at all.  In fact, I only had one plate of food, but I did put a lot of food on that plate.  Turkey, mashed potato’s, gravy, rice, deviled eggs, scalloped corn (family recipe).  I didn’t even have any stuffing this year.

What happened?

* In about a week I put on 5 lbs.   FIVE POUNDS….  egads

* I felt sluggish and tired most of the day(s) and experienced some minor bloating.

* Strangest of all, I had a lot of mucus.  I’m not sure I would call it a cold, but I had a lot of mucus in my nose and throat.  My wife who also had gone raw with me went off raw for thanksgiving and she too had similar symptoms.

Naturally I could assume that the cold-like symptoms were something contagious, but my two children did not have any cold-like symptoms, which seemed a bit odd at the time.

When I started watching Youtube videos on going raw I found that a LOT of people got “sick” when they came off raw and jumped straight into meat and processed foods.   How interesting.

It would seem to me, then, that the cold-like symptoms are not caused by bacteria or a virus, but rather are a reaction of the body to the re-introduction of cooked food.

Because I want that massive energy back and I want to feel healthy and vibrant again, I have decided to go back onto a raw diet, starting yesterday!

1 Day after being back on raw food:

I have lost 2 of the 5 pounds, which says to me that a lot of that may have been water weight, perhaps from the increased salt found in cooked foods.  I feel pretty certain that the 5 pounds will be gone within one week of being back on a raw natural diet.

I look forward to feeling great again and dropping even more excess weight.

If anyone is wondering…. no… my wife has not yet decided to re-join me on my raw journey.  But I am guessing that once she see’s me bouncing around and feeling great once again she will join me on an all raw diet.

I can’t promise I will eat this way forever, but I can promise that this is what I am doing right now, because it makes me feel great.

Have a great holiday season,

I have not been 100% raw, but I have been pretty darn close.  It turns out that the mixed nuts I have been eating a handful of each day, are unsalted dry roasted.   One day I also decided to have some whole wheat pasta my wife made for her and our children.

I THOUGHT that I knew what eating healthy was all about.  A little fish and chicken, lots of steamed veggies, some fruits but no too many because they are high in natural sugar…  add in some grains but avoid dairy because it clogs up the body.  That is what I WAS doing.

Since I have gone raw, the following has happend in 17 days:

• Weight Loss: I have dropped 10 pounds in 17 days.
• Sleep Better: My sleep has drastically improved (much deeper)
• Dreams: I don’t recall having dreams for the last few years, and now I have VIVID life-like dreams each night
• Blood Sugar is slightly lower (in the low  middle of normal) despite eating a LOT of fruit all day
• Blood Pressure has lowered to the best I’ve ever seen as an adult
• Higher Energy: My energy is waaaaaay up, at an all time high!
  
• Clear Headed: My head is clear and I can think more clearly now.
• Calm and Relaxed: Aggression and anger no longer require self control, it’s like they just melted away.
• Stress Reduced: Ability to handle stress has greatly increased.
  

My wife saw the changes in me, especially the increased energy, and now she is on day 6 of eating raw herself.  Her energy has improved dramatically already.

17 days without meat and I feel wonderful.  I did not expect this, being a meat eater (and meat lover) in the past.  The eating for your blood type people would say that I, being a blood type O, need a lot of meat and that I am a high protein type.

The whole blood type thing always seemed a little bit odd to me.  After all, we don’t check the blood types of animals to determine their diet.  Every animal on the planet knows what to eat except for us humans.  Isn’t that silly?

While I am not expert on the subject, all I can report is how I feel and I feel wonderful.  I drink 2 green smoothies a day, which are mostly fruit, and I eat a lot of bananas and apples.

I’ve been monitoring my blood pressure and blood sugar and both of those have improved.  I don’t feel any kind of weakness which I normally do on a “d-i-e-t”, so I am guessing I am not losing any muscle mass.  Unlike other d-i-e-t-s, I am allowing myself to eat as much and as often as I want.   As a matter of fact, I feel like I am eating all day long…   a little bit here and a little bit there.

The hunger feeling is VASTLY different now though.  I eat because I feel like I need an energy boost.  I don’t really eat planned meals anymore and sometimes I go for many hours without eating because I do not have hunger.  Cravings has disappeared also.

I am going to research the protein aspect of this way of eating, because it seems as though protein is only 5% of my current diet.

You can watch an amazing RAW FOOD VIDEO and discover a lot more about raw food by CLICKing THIS LINK.

Since I have been doing this all on my own, I think it is about time to pick up a good Raw Food Book and so far this one seems to be the best of the best on Amazon.

It doesn’t matter how “bad” things appear…  happiness is a choice.

Worrying only makes things worse.

So why not chose to be happy instead?

Law of Attraction

Do you have some rainy day money put away?

You know, money that you have set aside in a savings account, or safe deposit box or maybe in an old shoe box, that is there in case things go bad?

I use to do this all the time.  I would put some money away “just in case”.  It seemed like a good idea at the time.  I thought it was smart and prudent, but you know what…..

Every time I sat money aside with the intent of using it if something bad happened guess what happened?

Something bad happened.

So now I put “Sunny Day” money away with the intention that I will go and do something fun with it, like take a vacation.  It still feels good to know that you have extra money put aside, but now that the intention has changed, I take more vacations and do more fun things.

Life is all about the power of intention.

I intend to have a great day today and I hope you do too!

- John Derrick

I am sure you have had something negative happen to you in your life.

So why do bad things happen?  What create them?

There are two schools of thought out there when it comes to the world.

#1 You have no control over everything that happens outside of you and you are helpless to world events.

#2  You create everything that happens outside of you.  Your perception of reality makes it real.  You attract or create everything that happens to you in your life.

.

As you can see, these are VERY different belief sets, but as unlikely as it may seem, both of these belief sets lead us to the same conclusion.

Let’s take a look at belief #1.  This is the belief that comes from feeling separate from the world around you.  Here you have believe that when something bad happens to you, there is nothing you can do but respond to the bad thing.   There are no lessons to be learned in creating the bad thing, because you had nothing to do with it occurring in the first place.   A Secularist may believe that the world is random and that it is random chance, and a religious person may blame the devil, or feel that he/she is being punished from God, but either way, the thing they all agree on is that they do not create the world outside of them.

So, with that belief set, the obvious conclusion I come to is this:

IF SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO YOU, YOU SHOULD KEEP A POSITIVE MINDSET.  YOU SHOULD TRY TO NOT LET BAD THINGS BOTHER YOU BECAUSE YOU HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT TO BEGIN WITH.  WHEN YOU FEEL BAD, YOU LET THE WORLD CHANGE YOU, AND GETTING ANGRY AND/OR DEPRESSED IS SIMPLY BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH AND LOWERS YOUR CHANCES OF SUCCESS.

Now let’s take a look at belief #2.  People with this belief take responsibility for everything that happens in their life, good or bad.  They believe that they create the world outside of them, and that every interaction is a product of their own creation.  A secularist may believe the world to be a projection created by the mind and that reality is a malleable illusion.  A religious person may believe that they are co-creators with God, and that they are connected with everything because everything is a creation of God and therefore they are in the same flow of being of God, with everything in existence.

So, with that belief set, the obvious conclusion I come to is this:

IF SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO YOU, YOU SHOULD KEEP A POSITIVE MINDSET.  YOU SHOULD TRY TO NOT LET BAD THINGS BOTHER YOU BECAUSE YOU WILL CREATE MORE BAD THINGS BY REACTING AND FEELING NEGATIVE.  WHEN YOU FEEL BAD, YOU CREATE MORE NEGATIVE THINGS IN YOUR OWN LIFE.  GETTING ANGRY AND/OR DEPRESSED IS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH, LOWERS YOUR CHANCES OF SUCCESS AND ATTRACTS/CREATES MORE BAD THINGS IN YOUR LIFE.

So you see, either way, being positive in a negative situation is solution.

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
