This should highlight to you value of holding, and having, a good posture in terms of feeling more positive even in a difficult or so called negative predicament.

Finally, try this also. This time have a positive thought in your mind and have your chin down. Next, raise your chin up, be proud and see how vivid positive image becomes.

Now, finally add some deep breathing into mix. Focus on positive mental image while breathing energy and passion into your body and mind.

Take note of positive energy you are drawing into your body and consciously try and combine it with image. This is an amazing way to draw yourself closer to your goals while simultaneously improving health.

So, next time you want to alter your mindset, pay attention to your head position and breathing and you will be propelling yourself towards health and achievement quicker than ever!

- Use freshest herbs in your cooking. Many people use dried herbs for their convenience, but often keep them long after they have lost their best flavor. To ensure that you’re using freshest herbs possible, store them in a dry area away from stove, where heat will cause them to more quickly lose their flavor. Also, when measuring out herbs, pour necessary amount in your hand away from top of pot or pan, so steam rising from your dish doesn’t enter container, causing your herbs to spoil more quickly. Also, spend a few extra dollars on quality herbs. They always taste better, and you’ll end up using less. Most importantly, use fresh herbs whenever you can, either purchasing small amounts at market or growing a small windowsill garden in your kitchen for easy access.

- Decorate with nature. A few drops of your favorite essential oil in a warm container of oil can improve your mood and make house smell wonderful. Wreaths made from bunches of herbs can be both attractive and add color to your front door. Coming up with projects to make your home more lively, or giving gift of herbs and essential oils to friends and family can add an enriching element to your life.

- Prevent common illnesses with essential oils instead of using prescribed and over-the counter medicines. Prior to learning about essential oils, I had regular sinus infections and headaches that caused me to take frequent amounts of decongestants and aspirin. At time I was unaware that these drugs were really only masking my symptoms, and not really curing my problems at all. I later learned that many headaches come from dehydration; a glass of water and some eucalyptus oil usually did trick.

- Make homemade skincare recipes whenever possible. While natural skincare may not last as long without preservatives, fresh ingredients without inclusion of chemical ingredients will certainly show a difference on your skin. Ingredients such as fresh fruits and vegetables can easily be pureed or juiced, then added to milk, honey, and oatmeal to make delicious cleansers, scrubs and bath soaks. You can even use some of herbs and spices that you keep in your kitchen to prepare natural skincare remedies.
