Positive Mind, Healthy Heart - Day 147, 148 & 149



 


Day 147:

"Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can't be done."

- Bo Bennett, Businessman and Author of Year to Success 

 

A positive attitude will help you focus, while a negative one simply throws up roadblocks in your path.  If you can train yourself to keep an optimistic outlook, the solutions will present themselves.  And the use of the word train in the previous sentence was intentional.  Optimism is a learned behavior ... start studying it now!



Day 148:

Take time to stretch.  Working on your flexibility may not be as flashy as aerobics or weight training, but it's an important part of a complete exercise program.  By stretching major muscle groups, especially those involved in whatever exercise you're doing, you'll maintain your flexibility and protect yourself from injury.  And it feels so good!  Right now, try it:  Take a deep breath, and on your exhale reach up to the sky.  Instant stress relief...



Day 149:

"When we do face difficult times, we need to remember that circumstances don't make a person, they reveal a person."

Richard Carlson, Author of Don't Sweat The Small Stuff

A new view of the Small Magellanic Cloud galaxy is seen in this image released by NASA on April 3, 2013. The SMC is a dwarf galaxy about 200,000 light-years away that orbits the Milky Way. It is one of the Milky Way's closest neighbors and even though it's a small galaxy, the SMC is so bright that it is visible to the naked eye from the Southern Hemisphere and near the equator. The spiral galaxy in the lower lefthand corner is actually behind this nebula. Other distant galaxies -- located hundred

Bruce Diaso

When I was a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of San Francisco, I met an 18-year old freshman who had a profound effect on my life.  Why?  Because he had the greatest attitude of anyone I've ever known.  I met Bruce early in the school year, but didn't get to really know him until the spring semester, when he taught me one of the most valuable lessons I've ever learned. Bruce had been a great high school football player in his hometown of Fresno, California, and was planning to attend Notre Dame University on an athletic scholarship.  But tragedy hit him at the beginning of his senior year.  He was stricken with polio a few weeks before the Salk Polio Vaccine arrived at his school.  He almost died, was in the hospital for several weeks, and ended up paralyzed.  He could not move his legs or his arms.  He could talk, he could move his head, and he could move his hands and fingers, even though his arms were dead. Through sheer determination and hard wor
