Relax a Little, You’ll feel better and smarter
Have you ever noticed how most of the brightest ideas hit you when you are just doing nothing? Most of my ideas come to me when I am relaxing in shower, playing with my dog (Miss Amber) or enjoying the beautiful day outside.
It’s amazing when I count the number of ideas I have got while doing stuff totally unrelated to work or whatever is it that I am trying to get done.
Here’s why it works: We all have cognitive limits. Even the smartest ones are subject to these limits. Basically what happens is if you overwork yourself, you hit this limit and become hurried, unfocused and counterproductive.
It happens to the best of us and happens quite often if you overwork yourself. So, if you feel like you’ve overworked yourself, just take time to cool off.
Take a vacation to some beautiful place, take a couple days off.
Your brain will thank you with great new ideas and your body will start performing at it’s best reducing the level of stress in your life.

I was reading Dr. Len’s website and here’s an interesting quote err affirmation I came across…it says
Peace be with you, All My Peace,
O ka Maluhia no me oe, Ku’u Maluhia a pau loa
Which I find very interesting. I know a lot of us find it hard sometimes to understand other people who just seem to act so irrational, so rude and so on. I remember reading Dr. Wayne Dyers book where he talks about these people, sitting back and sayin “Wow, I never do that” and he said all you have to do is send love. Which we know is absolutely true. All you can do when someone is acting so erratic is send them love and peace.
But, that may not be it for a lot of people. Sometimes when people send out love in healing others, they seem to interchange healing their feelings with CHANGING their feelings which is absolutely unhealthy for both of them. Our mind (most of us anyway) hates the idea of someone changing others, be it someone changing you or you changing others.
I don’t know about you but I like attaching words and feelings to the energy I send out…it might be hard to visualize stuff in public when someone’s getting on your nerves but it’s never hard to say something…and all you have to say is….just that may they feel your level of peace. Try it, it just has a different level of energy mainly because when you send YOUR peace, you are also affirming that YOU are in peace and it feels so good in giving something that is from you…
