Who can comprehend God, let alone such an event as the Cross? But, I believe God has put the desire in each of us to know Him, however slight that may be. It seems that with each apparent answer that I uncover, I create more questions. Such is the nature of God Himself. Last night I had one of those ?openings? wherein a light broke through creating many rays scattering in so many directions.

In the event of the cross and crucifixion God subjected Himself (in Christ) to the impersonal cruelty of His very own objective creation , and to the subjective malice and hatred of His own creatures, human beings. Or as N. W. Clerk observed, ?He therein crucified Him?.

Reread that once more!

We now (all humanhood) have two choices!

We can reject the belief in God, the Creator of ALL. And, we can also reject the love of God of whom we accept. Most people believe in some sort of Being that is greater than us. How can we not- though a few do. However, the real crusher is in not ACCEPTING that we have been ACCEPTED.

Damn! Do you realize how awesome that is? Man is never compelled, this side of the death, to accept His love. On the other side when we see more clearly as I Cor. 14 remind us, we will all gladly embrace such love. No one could have said it better than Hugh Montefiore (Cambridge Vicar) who said, ?Man?s unconscious grudge against life, against himself, and against God exhausts itself on the cruciform figure of the tortured and dying Christ wherein hatred runs out into the sand.?

And for me, the only REAL SIN is the deliberate choice to refuse such love. But rejoice for, God is love???and hell is not!

Iron is very important for sustaining good health.

Iron deficiencies can cause feeling exhausted, create Clinical Depression, make us more susceptible to viruses, cancer and a variety of degenerative conditions.

Likewise, iron excess or alteration in the iron-binding capability resulting in free, unbound iron carries the potential for causing or aggravating all diseases, infections, cancers and toxicities.

Therefore is it necessary that we do not only strive to both acquire adequate amounts of iron and rid ourselves of excess iron, and that every effort is made to bind and properly escort iron from the moment it enters the body until it exits.

In addition, binding and escorting iron is particular important during the detoxification process. Otherwise, the many benefits iron provides are easily overshadowed by its toxicity.

Discussing Body Iron is difficult and no single indicator or combination of indicators is ideal for the assessment of iron status in all clinical circumstances.

Each indicator may be affected by a variety of conditions including infection, inflammation,liver disease and malignancy, and these factors must be considered in interpreting laboratory investigations.

Iron is essential to life, because of its unique ability to serve as both an electron donor and acceptor.

But iron can also be potentially toxic.

Iron’s ability to donate and accept electrons means that if iron is free within the cell, it can catalyze the conversion of hydrogen peroxide into free radicals. And free radicals can cause damage to a wide variety of cellular structures, and ultimately kill the cell.

To prevent that kind of damage, all life forms that use iron bind the iron atoms to proteins.

That allows the cells to use the benefits of iron, but also limit its ability to do harm.

The Free Radicals can be identified in a comprehensive biochemical screening report.

Six subclinical defects have been identified that are common to every degenerative disease.

Free Radicals are extremely reactive chemical entities that arise normally from metabolism, and also from toxic exposure.

When your iron status is out of balance, then there will be free iron produced and this free iron is very toxic. Free Iron, indicates that iron is not bound to protein. It is a heavy metal.

Many proteins are enzymes that catalyze biochemical reactions, and are vital to metabolism.

One example of this is that enzymes produced by chronic inflammation, combined with damaging free radicals and alterations in the other subclinical markers assessed cause a breakdown in connective tissues.

Connective tissues make up the body’s “superstructure” and “guy wires” that literally holds the body together.

The words protein, polypeptide, and peptide are a little ambiguous and can overlap in meaning.

Protein is generally used to refer to the complete biological molecule in a stable conformation, whereas peptide is generally reserved for short amino acid oligomers often lacking a stable 3-dimensional structure.

However, the boundary between the two is ill-defined and usually lies near 20-30 residues.

Polypeptide can refer to any single linear chain of amino acids, usually regardless of length, but often implies an absence of a defined conformation

The iron withholding mechanism occurs naturally at the onset of every healthy, acute inflammatory response.

Given full recognition to the natural defence mechanism of iron withholding allows health professionals to be far more effective when building immunity, treating people for cancer, iron deficiency, inflammation, excessive tiredness, memory decline or depression.

The risk in amplified when laboratory testing is inadequate; typical of many insurance driven health plans.

Similarly, there is risk in supplementing iron where the decision to supplement is based solely on a low serum iron reading.

To give an example, when in the chemistry it shows up that a person has low serum iron, an elevated to high Transferrin Iron Binding Capacity and a low Transferrin Saturation, this is an indicator that there is free iron.

It also indicates that there is a Copper Deficiency.

Cerruloplasmin is a specialized copper-rich protein that enters the Ferritin molecule to free iron, so it can be attached to transferrin.

This is a pretty good marker, when it gets elevated, of a copper deficiency.

Remember that the Cerruloplasmin is the copper bound protein or protein bound copper is the compound that pulls the iron out of the ferritin cage, puts it out on to the transferrin leash and attaches it

to the leash.

If the Cerruloplasmin are not there then of course you can have a lot of transferrin in the serum without the iron molecules being attached to the leash.

Each one of these transferrins has two hooks on them so you can put two irons on each leash but if the copper is not there, if you are deficient and can’t make the Cerruloplasmin, what happens Transferrin Iron Binding Capacity rises because you don’t have iron actually attached to enough of the transferrins.

When there is free iron, this also indicates that the iron is not bound to the protein. One of the consequences of the depleted amino acids pool is that this has an impact on the neurotransmitters.

Therefore it could be helpful to access the iron status as discussed and the amino acid pool.

The diagnosis of Clinical Depression could be dealt with an additional different protocol, which might lead to better outcomes.

By identifying the markers for disturbed iron status and assisting you in developing a comprehensive strategy for achieving a healthy iron status your risk of all disease and toxicity and infection are lessened.

In addition to accurately measuring iron levels, strategies for restoring iron balance need to take into account many factors.

1. Maintaining a healthy intestinal mucosa

2. Sustaining adequate protein levels

3. Sustaining and aerobic versus anaerobic metabolism

4. Achieving a state of alkalinity versus acid stress

5. Maintaining a healthy cytochrome P450 system to rid the body of organic solvents and other toxins that may hinder protein-iron binding

6. Establishing a diet rich in whole eggs and cultured dairy for individuals with a tendency towards free iron, iron overload.

7. Recommending a phlebotomy program for those confirmed with iron overload.

Transferrin, lactoferrin, lactoglobin and ovotransferrin are iron-binding proteins. Transferrin, the only commonly measured iron-binding protein that is synthesized by the body, is readily taken up by receptors of both healthy cells and cancer cells. Lactoferrin and lactoglobin, derived from dairy foods, plus ovotransferrin (conalbumin) from eggs binds tightly to free iron

How many smokers do you hear make the claim that they are completely healthy? That they have never had a day in hospital? That they know loads of people who have lived to a ripe old age despite smoking? Well, that’s ok. Why stop smoking if that is the case? After all, life is for living and doing what you want, right?

Of course, everybody has the right to live their lives just as they want. They have the right to gauge their own health and what they will and won’t take into their bodies. That must be why they think it’s fine to take in carbon monoxide, ammonia, hydrogen sulphide and formaldehyde in regular doses throughout the day. The fact that they are still breathing means it’s still fine to reduce the amount of oxygen their body receives.

They are more than happy to allow their resting hearts to beat an additional 36,000 times per day, putting a strain on the heart and blood vessels, but hey, they’re still working! They are more than happy to pour a full eight ounces of tar into their lungs, coating their mouths, throats and airways every year with the substance that prevents the lung lining and immune system from doing their jobs. All this and more is the right of the smoker.

But is it not the right of the passive smoker to walk in the fresh air without subjecting him or herself to this sort of poison? Is it not the right of every child to have the healthiest start in life possible? Passive smoking is no less dangerous than smoking itself. In fact, the poisonous chemicals in exhaled smoke can be more dangerous depending on a person’s health. A passive smoker does not have the option to stop smoking, particularly if the smoker is in their own home.

When a smoker inhales these poisonous, addictive, killer chemicals, they coat their mouth, throat, airways and lungs with products that make the immune system inactive. The lining of the throat will, after a short amount of time smoking, thicken and change into the perfect breeding ground for throat cancer.

The lungs themselves are a highly complex and efficient network of intricate airways that keep your body functioning. The cilia in your bronchi are paralysed while smoking but, due to their efficiency, overnight they will begin to recover. By the morning, they are desperately attempting to clear the lungs of the thick yellow/green mucus that has built up. The lungs want rid of this because it is exactly this type of environment that encourages the growth of viruses, respiratory diseases and cancer. This is the precise reason a smoker will cough first thing in the morning and what puts them off from trying to stop smoking. However, it is a good sign that the body is working on repairing the damage already done.

It is everybody’s right not to stop smoking and allow this state of affairs to continue but is it their right to put everyone else at risk by becoming a strain on the NHS through preventable illnesses related to smoking?

The longer you continue to smoke, or passive smoke, the bigger the strain on your lungs. Eventually, your lung will lose some of their elasticity but because this happens over a period of time it is less noticeable and often put down to the aging process. As is the wrinkling of skin and the grey, aged look that accompanies a smoker. This is not age, this is the effect of smoking and cannot be reversed.

In industrial environments, health and safety dictates a safe level of carbon monoxide a person can be subjected to each day. A smoker’s blood will contain 600 times that safe level. You wouldn’t dream of sucking on an exhaust pipe so why would any reasonable thinking person subject themselves to this?

Smoking opens up the body to all sorts of onslaughts. The reproductive system, as well as sexual performance, will be adversely affected as well as the sense of taste and smell. Still, it is up to the individual that wishes to believe that smoking as done them no harm whatsoever.

The exhausting quest for inner peace

AARP has a terrific magazine with the largest circulation in the world. I was delighted to read a travelogue by Melina Bellows in the March & April 2008 issue. Ms. Bellows, employed fulltime and the mother of two children under four, is offered a five-day jaunt to an Ayurvedic spa in India called Ananda. She accepts.

Dr. Sree Sreedharan, a Vedanta disciple, gives her a private lesson at one point during her stay. In a personal encounter, her burning issue bursts out of her, ?My quest for inner peace is exhausting me.?

How?s your quest for inner peace treating you?

Does inner peace simply appear as one more item on your to-do list? I sometimes have clients who feel this way about their spiritual work. It?s just one more thing to accomplish. But is it?

I am a fan of the words of A. J. Muste, ?There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.? For me, there?s a message in this as profound as it is simple. Inner peace isn?t something to be sought. Instead, it is a way to live. For peace, especially inner peace, there is no quest. Instead, there is a way to do the quest.

My mama was fond of saying that delivery is ninety percent of life. She was right. Delivery, or how one does whatever one does, makes a difference. That?s why I liked Dr. Sreedharan?s answer to Ms. Bellows. He invites her to dinner and offers her a new experience?an opportunity to wear a sari. That might not seem to you or me like a way to find inner peace, but in the donning of the garment, she sees herself as a vision of her Goddess Self.

It is that Self, God or Goddess, where inner peace resides and thrives in each one of us. Make sure you allow time to glimpse Him or Her every day. That will keep you in the way to peace.

It seems that every time I turn on the radio or television these days, you hear people talking about the American economy in a negative way.

What’s interesting is that some self-employed professionals are ready to close their business due to the economy, while other global entrepreneurs couldn’t be happier. While I am not an economist or an accountant (I have team members that handle all that financial forecasting ’stuff’ for me), I do know one important fact that most 6 and 7 figure entrepreneurs live by. In America, the economy is the same for everyone; it’s how you persevere and seek out fun activities that determine how successful your business will be. Perseverance and creativity can turn a small investment into a huge fortune.

And this is exactly what millionaire author, Jack Canfield has been teaching for years. E + R = O (Events + Responses = Outcome) The basic idea here is that is that every outcome you experience in your business life (whether it’s wealth or poverty, fun or frustration) is the result of how you have responded to an earlier event (or events) in your business life. So, are you having fun today? If not, here’s something I’d like you to try: turn away from this eZine, and go do something fun for 15 minutes. I don’t care what it is. Login to a funny website, watch a hilarious DVD, go play with your pet, or call a friend who always lifts your spirits. Even funnier yet: pull out your high-school yearbook and look at the hairstyles and clothing that you and your friends were wearing. Remember that? When life was fun? Go do it now. Fifteen short minutes. I’ll still be here.

You back? You in a better mood yet? Good. If you had trouble coming up with a fifteen-minute fun activity, or had to stretch to find that happy memory, then you are teetering on the edge of burn-out and exhaustion my friend. And exhaustion is not client attractive. One of the very first things you gotta get straight in your head is: clients are attracted to optimists. Clients want to hear how you persevered through this economy, and that your business is now stronger as a result. They want you to be a beacon of hope. Hope is very client attractive.

Here is what I have learned from top 6 and 7 figure income earners: Great small business marketing means working smart, not working hard. Savvy business owners love shortcuts that work, love to use systems, love to delegate, and they love life. They love people, and use money. Not the other way around. It’s a cruel joke to think that that money will bring you happiness. Money was never intended to bring you happiness; money only brings comfort. Getting those two confused will lead you towards exhaustion. So…tomorrow morning when you begin this entrepreneurial gig all over again, I want you to have a happy memory to indulge in for fifteen minutes. Cherish that memory throughout the day. And get your butt in gear creating more of them. Okay? Now let’s get going on creating the business of your dreams.

Here are four steps to help you persevere, increase your small business creativity, and attract more ideal clients:

* Avoid the “rut thinking” that happens as we get older. Humans operate 92% on autopilot, and only 8% consciously. Sadly, those entrepreneurs among us who are suffering economically have developed a herd mentality. When presented with a problem, they tend to go with the first thought that pops into their head because that is what everyone in their industry is doing.

* Determine what will make you happy. Once you discover what makes you happy, and for some folks this is going to take a lot of research by consciously living their life, then you go for it as if your life depended on it.

* Set aside a time each week to generate ideas, and a completely different time to evaluate each idea. Don’t mix the two, or you may be killing those ideas before you know what they might grow up to be.

* Risk being silly. What might be considered silliness when juxtaposed against the serious job of building a small business – humor, giving a child piggyback rides, or finger painting – might actually work to loosen you up in times of stress. After all, it takes a lot of passion to act silly – and to create a thriving company where you work less, and make more money.

One of the biggest blocks stopping you from getting your house decluttered is the mental stumbling that you have. You know, the one where you look at the mess your house is in and feel exhausted. This is the habit of most clutter bugs and something that will stop them from even starting the decluttering process. This means that it is a decluttering pitfall, so watch out.

Personally speaking, this mental apathy and the exhaustion you feel, both equate to procrastination. You take one look at the clutter and do everything in your power to not declutter.

The last thing that you want do is to tackle this overwhelmingly large project, and besides where would you start and when would it all end?

There?s nothing more exhausting for a clutter bug than going through the list of things that needs to be done. Just sorting through the clutter in your mind is something along the lines of a Herculean effort and when you even think about applying all that physical energy you become exhausted.

So how do you get over it? A little will power and a bribe usually works best! Yes, you will probably have to bribe yourself with the promise of that little something you?ve been denying yourself for sometime now. It?s always that first little spurt of getting yourself going that takes the most energy. It?s actually a law of physics I think, Newton?s first law to be exact.

To get a stationary object (that?s you), to move, a force will first need to be applied to it (that?s your will power). Once started, the object will then continue until another force is exerted to stop it. I think that I?ve mangled the actual words but the sentiment still remains. To get yourself started on decluttering you will need to have a kick start, but once you start you will most likely find that you like the results and continue for a goodly while.

For most people however, the kick start comes in the form of a shock, or a need of some sort. They needed to be jolted out of their complacency before they can even begin to contemplate decluttering. In my case it took breaking my leg and having to live with my clutter surrounding me in all its glory. Oh, and in earlier days, it was the thought of my mother coming over! The whole bribing myself thing didn?t work for me, because I ultimately ended up getting my bribe without doing the work!

Did you know lack of sleep resulting in exhaustion is one of the most serious health- related problems in the workplace. It has also been shown that sleep deprivation is a major cause of under-productivity, absenteeism and workplace accidents. You know the routine…

You wake up at the same time every morning, you get dressed in your work attire, you sit in traffic, and then stare at a computer screen for hours while at your desk. You are beginning to feel unproductive and extremely lazy. You feel that maybe your life needs a change, but before you start searching through the want ads, you might want to implement a change in your lifestyle first. Your attitude toward your job could have a great deal to do with your sleeping, or lack thereof. If you are tossing and turning every night, this could put you into a funk when you wake up every morning, and so going to work might seem like even more of a chore.

Employers Take Notice

According to the National Sleep Foundation sleep deprivation and sleep disorders are estimated to cost Americans over $100 billion annually in lost productivity, medical expenses, sick leave, and property and environmental damage. Sleep in America poll found that 51% of the American workforce reported that sleepiness on the job interfered with the amount of work they got done. One out of four adults had difficulty getting up for work two or more days per week.

Insomnia Effects On Employees

Tired employees can experience more difficulty in concentrating on what they are doing, listening to what others are saying, solving problems on the job, making decisions and relating to their co-workers. Constant exhaustion will make simple tasks seem quite tedious to the point where you might not want to do them at all. Your overall performance suffers simply because you are not able to fall asleep, or stay asleep, every night. Your grogginess will slowly but surely begin to catch up with you, and your coworkers and supervisor will surely see this lackluster effort. It is time to tackle the problem before it gets out of control, and ends up getting you fired.

Find out the reasons behind your insomnia, and then you can determine if you still are feeling burnt out at your job. Perhaps it is the stress of your work situation that is causing you to wake during the night. Or maybe you feel that you spend so much time there that you have no time for yourself. First, you must begin to relax so that you are able to allow yourself to fall asleep, and take it from there.

On your day off relax. Try some of the tips from the free e-book “Best Practices Guide: 101 Amazingly Simple Ways to Beat Insomnia”.

1. Make sure your bed is large enough, and comfortable. If you are disturbed by a restless bedmate, switch to a queen- or king-size bed. Test different types of mattresses. Try therapeutic shaped foam pillows that cradle your neck or extra pillows that help you sleep on your side. Get comfortable cotton sheets.

2. Make your bedroom primarily a place for sleeping. It is not a good idea to use your bed for paying bills, doing work, etc. Help your body recognize that this is a place for rest or intimacy.

3. Keep your bedroom peaceful and comfortable. Make sure your room is well ventilated and the temperature consistent. And try to keep it quiet. You could use a fan or a “white noise” machine to help block outside noises.

4. Hide your clock. A big, illuminated digital clock may cause you to focus on the time and make you feel stressed and anxious. Turn the clock so you can’t see it or put it in a drawer.

5. Keep a regular schedule. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time everyday, even on the weekends. Keeping a regular schedule will help your body expect sleep at the same time each day. Don’t oversleep to make up for a poor night’s sleep – doing that for even a couple of days can reset your body clock and make it hard for you to get to sleep at night. Even if you haven’t slept well.

6. Incorporate bedtime rituals. Listening to soft music, sipping a cup of herbal tea, etc., cues your body that it’s time to slow down and begin to prepare for sleep.

7. Relax for a while before going to bed. Spending quiet time can make falling asleep easier. This may include meditation, relaxation and/or breathing exercises, or taking a warm bath. Try listening to recorded relaxation or guided imagery programs.

After you allow yourself to feel calm, you can head to bed for the entire night and wake up with a better outlook. You might find that it really is time to start looking for a more stimulating work environment. But make sure you exhaust every effort to fall asleep, and don’t just simply remain exhausted.Don’t allow insomnia to get the best of you. Get your body and mind on the right track to enjoy a full night of deep sleep. Break the cycle of a negative attitude and mediocre performance at work.

Go to sleep, enjoy the time you have to relax, wake up, and tell yourself that you are willing to give it another chance. Once you are free from the dark cloud of insomnia, you might realize that you actually do enjoy your job. And if not, you will certainly have more energy to begin the search for a new one.

Music: The Art of Inexpressible Cosmic Therapy Glory!

Exhaustion occurs when one loses touch with his counterpoint. “IT’S” all about flowing into/with the sensual sonorous sound soliciting you. A continuous melodious rhythm resonates in perfect unison (including all dissonance) within you at all times. In order to maintain, preserve and (execute without tiring) your personal strength, you are commanded to learn the life rejuvenating rhythm of that passionate song. No other song will suffice. The shock-absorbing song imbues you with a sense of recognition, realization and reclamation that everything is alright, ALL RIGHT, no matter how outer circumstances appear. You are given quick glimpses every now and again, to reset your barometer if it has inadvertently wandered off course. In order for your soul to flourish in this life, you must repeatedly check your inner thermostat to gauge if you have ?frozen up? or are ?boiling over?. This inner cosmic temperature has nothing to do with outer events. Though it does encompass, it is not tied to personal relationships, finances or emotional dilemmas. Your undue concern regarding these matters does not influence it.

The cosmic ?set point? determines the ‘level of lyrical indication’ for you to allow natural ONENESS with your life. It will not ever coerce, force or solicit your approval or partnership. The acknowledgement of invitation comes by and through sacred appreciation, only! In other words, when you are cosmically ready to receive more insight into yourself and circumstances you will. How receptive and accepting you are at any moment determines the real artistic quality you possess necessary for evolvement. You remain wherever you are until you are capable of turning the corner into unadulterated sagacity. In order to turn this unabated corner, you will be confronted with a deluge of unsettling emotions. These unadorned emotions trigger reset buttons continuously, using up the available energy. In other words, constant bickering depletes your storehouse of energy when not properly assessed or understood.

Rage can be used constructively if channeled properly. (Certainly not against yourself or the other) Rage clears debris and removes blockages. Rage does serve a useful function, but only when one understands that rage is sacred repressed creative musical energy. The misdirected form it chooses to take will be to signal undisclosed elements of your personality needing artistic expression. These are latent talents surfacing in distorted ways. While you may think you are busily engaged in many projects and relationships that are stimulating and gratifying, none are. Without your conscious elevated musical participation, nothing feeds the soul or interests ?IT? in the least. You are only placating your time, pacifying your mind, numbing your body with superficial distractions. That?s why you are tired, bored, restless, and exhausted.

You have misplaced your innate momentum because the direction in which you were headed is shut down. Why do you suppose this is so? It?s time to ?turn the corner.? STOP SPINNING WHEELS! If YOU can but recognize this temporary turbulence as the doorway into something altogether different but more in line with your personal celestial symphony, more vivacious contributory musical energy will re-surge. You must accept the cosmic truth: You are being guided, gently nudged, to redirect your path; find another solution. Stop banging your head against the wall in an effort to continue with your preconceived desired plans. Another door of opportunity stands visible in plain sight but you are too tired to see it. You have allowed yourself to become anesthetized, while at the same time trying to present an interested persona. Give it up!

. You expend so much precious vital energy trying to convince yourself that the project, person, issue, or plan is really worth your time, investment, and attention. Wrong. No such boat. You soul KNOWS and will not settle for anything less than ultimate ?natural and convenient? pleasure at all costs. The question lies before you: IS what you?re presently involved in worth it to you? Are you having fun: the time of your life? Since THESE are the days of your life you?re exchanging. Or, are you so focused on the outcome that you have lost sight of how much energy you are investing and not paying attention to how exhausted you?ve become? Look at the lines in your face. Do you smile less? When is the last time you laughed out loud? Hard!!! Do you really care about what you?re doing; does it MATTER? Are you living the result or are you waiting for one?

Nothing comes without chains, shackles, inconsistent demands when one has to strive so wretchedly for its attainment. Consequence: LOST youth {innocence}! It is no different than being addicted to a harmful deadly drug of some sort. The person is not free to act on his own accord. He is driven mercilessly to struggle and achieve. Achieve what? {IF you?re too tired to enjoy the fruits of your labor?} WORK is indeed true joy but not if you don?t LOVE the work. So big deal IF you secure the most, best, fastest, shiniest, prettiest, richest goal offered, what then? ??what profit a man if he gains the whole world if he loses his soul?? Forget the weight of absolution involved in one?s character, demeanor and pronouncement while in dark pursuit of a meaningless goal. He experiences a feeling of being slimed, weighed down, and ferociously obstructed in a tangled netted weave of fibroid tissue. {Not unlike strangling, drowning or suffocating}The more he tries to accomplish the further behind he gets. Mistakes, miscalculations, accidents invade his space and mind.

Angered and unmotivated, he spouts off in short-tempered stints of foul-mouthed derisions. {Blaming others for his own state of unhappiness and discontent.} What viable measures can he take to get loose from this awful web of self-created despair? To restore vital life supporting exhilarating robust energy? Refuse to move frantically or hurridly. Walk slower; observe the trees, birds singing, colors in the sky. Lower the tone of his voice. {Save it for singing} Under no circumstance is he to engage in another ‘act of kindness’ unless it is completely ‘natural and convenient’ for him to do. Do no favors. Don?t utter another negative sound. If prompted to respond hatefully, smile and laugh until inner resolve shows up. Decrease the bulk of meals; eliminate excessive talking, refuse to be on 24 hour call. Say ?NO,? even though it makes him feel uncomfortable. Do not comment on petty matters though accustomed by habit to do so. Limit phone conversations to 3 minutes. Be aware of sensations when talking. Drink lots of water.Take an Epsom salt and rosemary bath with a lighted pink candle once a week for 6 weeks. Write. Draw. Sing. Dance. LISTEN to MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hum while driving, walking, cleaning, working, showering. Sing some more. Go to the movies. Eat Cotton Candy; Ice Cream, chew some bubble gum. Whatever brings back that sense of joy and freedom without neurotic fretting worry of what it will do to him IF he does that! Bury him in isolated {meditation} unceasing prayer while awake until the burst of effervescent artistic creation explodes in full musical splendor. Breathe deeply and sensually.Get into the closet if he must to implore himself for the release of his self-contained stubbornness, delinquent attitude of change and refusal to submit to the turning of the corner. Listen for and turn up the saxophone to squeal out any hint of exhaustion that is draining him. Fling the windows of his heart and mind open to let Cosmic Divine Rapturous Unending Musical Pleasure into his soul!

Every Audi car is expected to conquer the roads and highways in style and performance. Troubleshooting seldom happens because Audi puts premium on components that secure the engine’s performance, as well as the exhaust system. There are a lot of ways to secure the performance of the engine, and one of them comes in the form of the valve cover gasket. The Audi Valve Cover Gasket basically prevents oil leakage. It is located between the top of the cylinder head and the bottom of the valve cover. Valve cover gaskets are responsible for sealing oil inside the valve cover to avoid leaks while the engine is running. Sometimes, the valve cover tends to sporadically rattle especially when the engine gains more power. Possible leaks may seep out of the valve cover. When this happens, the engine begins to increasingly wane in performance. The Audi Valve Cover Gasket takes care of this problem.

On the other hand, when it comes to the exhaust system, the tail pipe is the end point of an automotive operation. An Audi Tail Pipe is located at the rear end of the exhaust, where it vents to open air. The tail pipe is generally the only visible part of an exhaust system, often ending with just a straight or angled cut, but may include a fancy tip. The tip is usually chromed, and is often of larger pipe than the rest of the exhaust system. This produces a final reduction in pressure, prevents rusting of the tips, and can be used to enhance the appearance of the car. The Audi Tail Pipe also happens to be the least expensive part of the system which fuses both style and functionality.

The Audi Valve Cover Gasket and the Audi Tail Pipe are just some the basic, but equally important parts of an Audi’s high performance system, but they also sum up to what amount of care and maintenance one should employ on his vehicle. These parts must not be taken for granted since they play stressful tasks critical to a car’s totality.

Call mental exhaustion what you will: dead head, study head, sleepy head, brain drain. It’s the numb feeling that swells deep inside the cavity your brain. I know the feeling firsthand. As a Radio-TV-Film major attending college, I get it nearly every waking moment on the day before a due date. It sneaks up and jabs you square in the skull; and in next to no time you’re about ready to collapse in the throes of Dreamland.

Call mental exhaustion what you will: dead head, study head, sleepy head, brain drain. It’s the numb feeling that swells deep inside the cavity your brain. I know the feeling firsthand. As a Radio-TV-Film major attending college, I get it nearly every waking moment on the day before a due date. One of my rituals is writing screenplays, and I really can’t stress to say how often “brain drain” happens. It sneaks up and jabs you square in the skull; and in next to no time you’re about ready to collapse in the throes of Dreamland. It’s as if you were blackballed down a blind alley.

It happens, like that, all the time.

My efforts to combat the problem surfaced only recently, and I say this to emphasize both the ease and the probability of a “cure.” Mental exhaustion sweeps in during times of increased study and concentration. Stress may be a factor, but it surly is not the only cause. As a writer, brain drain always hit whenever I pushed myself to overcome a bout of writer’s block. I would focus intensely for hours at a time. And like an unseen cloud overhead, it would enshroud my skull. My natural instinct would be to plop my head face-down atop the table. The day would go swirling down the drain by the time I woke up.

Needless to say, mental exhaustion can really sap the time out of the day. It may even lead to depression and increased anxiety, but hey, I’m no psychologist. I’m a student, and what I do know is that it’s a big time killer. Sitting down with an open book but a closed mind has to be one of life’s biggest frustrations.

The obvious causes for this kind of dysfunction stem from a lack of sleep and a proper diet, at least for me. Think of your brain as having its own gauge. When you put the pedal to the metal and concentrate in full throttle, the rational diagnosis is that the gauge steadily drops to zero. From that point onward, you’re just grinding gears. To no surprise, the body needs nutrition and rest. Deprive yourself of those two vital components and, well, your influence over your own body will gradually slip away. It’s not a matter of ridding yourself of this mental exhaustion; but on a broader scope, it’s a matter of regaining control over your body.

Good sleep does not necessitate the amount of time slept. It is about knowing your body’s own biological clock. I discovered that not only did I wake up earlier the sooner I went to bed, but I also felt more refreshed throughout the day. Think about it: how much time do you spend awake versus sleep? The two should work toward an ideal balance; otherwise, a large chunk of sleep after a long and tiresome day does not restore the balance. The bottom line is this: a long day that was spent half asleep (we all know those kinds of days), met with an overdue long night of sleep, will not equal a refreshed tomorrow.

Besides taking up a better diet, the other solution is to practice a better study routine. Breaks may seem unprogressive to a study session, but in actuality they are invaluable. Your brain, like your legs, cannot run for so long without slowing down or sitting completely.

Of course, just remember the difference between a break and a distraction…
