100g of dark chocolate per day, I can do that!

Research recently published in the British Medical Journal suggested that a daily meal of seven ingredients, which included 100g dark chocolate (along with fish, fruit, vegetables, almonds, garlic and 150ml wine) could cut the risk of coronary heart disease by a massive 76%. The scientists predicted this could increase average life expectancy by six and a half years for men and five years for women. Surprisingly, olive oil was not included, as the researchers felt there was not enough solid evidence to support it as a single ingredient rather than as part of the Mediterranean diet. In contrast, they found clear evidence that eating 100g dark chocolate per day could reduce blood pressure by an average of 5.1/1.8mmHg, which is enough to reduce the risk of a heart attack or stroke by 21%.

Banish the Blues!

Mondays—or any time you have to return to a regular routine after time away—get a lot of people down. Start the day by drinking a glass of cool water. Bend down and touch your toes, then reach for the sky and stretch. Take several deep breaths. Get some sunlight if you can. You have at least one good reason to be glad today: you’re alive! Repeat the following: “I’m thankful for today, for who I am and what I have in my life.” Keep repeating, “I’m thankful for today,” like a mantra. Words are powerful. Life is precious. Remember that today is the first day of the rest of your life. Make it a good one. And just so you don’t forget, do something memorable today; wear a special ring, write yourself a note, or draw a smiley face on your hand, anything that will remind you. Make Mondays a regular day for a ritual of gratitude.

Why haven't you married yet?

Why haven't you married yet? the Rebbe wanted to know.

I haven't met the right one.

What will the right one look like?

A charismatic Prince Charming stepped out of Chana's imagination and into their conversation.

The Rebbe laughed fully.

"You've read too many novels," the Rebbe said, still laughing but growing more serious. "Novels are not real life: they're fictions. They're full of romance and infatuation. Infatuation is not real. Infatuation is not love.

"Love is life," the Rebbe continued. "It grows through small acts of two people living together. With time they cannot imagine life without each other."

Infatuation you fall into. Love you build. And love-–the barometer of a successful marriage-–is dependant 20% on the person you marry and 80% on the way you marry them every day.

Finding Love

"What type of man do I want to marry?" the young woman repeated the question that had been asked of her.

"Well, I want someone kind. And smart. But not the too-kind type that lets himself be walked on. And not the too-smart type that lets it get to his head. Someone who isn't too much into his books: someone sociable. A leader, the life of a party -- but not someone who aggravates with his presence. I'd like him to be handsome, but not haughty. I'd like..."

She looked at the Rebbe, seated behind his desk. His smile was broad and his eyes twinkled.

"It sounds like you want to marry more than one person."

About magic & gratitude

I was looking at the moon last night. She was so beautiful. I just pondered...on how she supported me during these times of intensive magic work and reality creating. We created a great future for sweet pea and I feel like we can create anything.

I am so happy and so grateful. I have a wonderful family, nuts, but wonderful, I got promoted into a spectacular job, I'm gonna move in with Twinky in my favourite lake area, a great holiday is coming up, I have friends who care and I have my magic. There's so much to be grateful for.

As I told my grandma yesterday, by concentrating on the nice little things in life, we set our mood into a happy state and the nasty things just disappear. So I thank for the beautiful day, for the great taste of my cake, for the fun time with my family, for the interesting job, for the funny movie I watched, for the fun new clothes I got, for the pretty song I'm listening to.

Love & gratitude, bring true happiness.

Be Happy by being Grateful

Remember that if you already had all your desires manifested, you wouldn’t be trying to manifest anything, but you would be enjoying and being grateful for all that you have. This is exactly the state for you to be in right now if you want to be in vibrational harmony with all your dreams and desires. Rather than trying to intend and manifest, focus more on being grateful for whatever comes your way. Focus on enjoying the present fully. In the end, it is all about two words. Be happy.
