** = Is a Personal message for you alone.
First and foremost the most important thing is to look after your mind and body with healthy nutrition and exercise. The following guides are what most of you will more than likely already know and do but sometimes it is very easy for people to overlook it because of their busy lives and this is what then makes people crave unhealthy fast foods, takeaways and processed foods. Take a minute or two to evaluate your life in every way, remember you ARE what you EAT & you look how you feel so feel happy and confident.
The Basics
1. Body care: Remember ~Water is the Liquid of Life. Drink at least 2 litres of water a day, 2 glasses of water 4 times a day with each meal or snack add lemon lime or mint or elderflower to taste. A good tip is to fill a 2-litre bottle and keep it next to you; you will then be able to easily measure how much you have drunk in a day. Water helps you think more clearly and helps detoxify you, never under estimate its importance and make the most of it.
Breathing
2. Breath slowly but purely, one way to do this, is whilst you are breathing in imagine a white light cleansing your body right down to your toes, whilst breathing out try to imagine any negative thoughts and feelings leaving your body as grey coloured breath or choose any colour you prefer. The easiest way to know your are breathing correctly is to put your hand on your stomach and when you feel it rise whilst breathing in you are breathing in correctly and when you are exhaling you will feel your stomach deflate. You may think that everyone knows this but you would be surprised at the amount of people who when asked to breathe in, would suck in air very quickly holding in their breath whilst tensing their abdomen, psychologically they relate to 'breathing in' as trying to look slimmer.
Everyday we can breath in and absorb other peoples negative energies and If we are not careful it can have a big impact on our lives, learn to meditate and release these unwanted energies. Breath in new and positive energies daily, only allow positive thoughts to enter into your head. Every negative thought could build barriers to prevent you making achievements in your life. Only spend time with positive people with positive energies. Every negative thought you have is like a stone weighing heavy your pocket and it will weigh you down eventually. Learn to take slow long deep breaths, it clears the mind and calms the body, it releases negative energies and restores your balance and peace. What you think is what you get. So think good, think well and think positive!!!! We all take breathing for granted but every breath we take is a gift.
3. Eat a healthy and nutritionally balanced diet, care for your body, and research what is good for you. Pre packaged foods always have preservatives in them. Your body will eventually reject these and when it has had enough it will start to let you down. Bloated stomach, headaches, rashes and unexplained symptoms can be a sign that your body has had enough of preservatives. Please note that food intolerances are also to blame for a lot of other unexplained symptoms get yourself checked out and do some research soon, You only have one body, treat it well and treat it with respect, we all expect such a lot from our bodies, but not all of us treat it with the respect it deserves.

LIFE is: L = Love, I = Independence, F = Fun, E = Education.
Life can throw some tough challenges, so get tough and be ready to embrace those challenges, be pleased with yourself for overcoming them, appreciate your strengths and don't forget to reward yourself too. Don't be put off by how far you've yet to go, just remember how far you've come.

Respect
Respect is: Respecting Everyone, Sincerity in People, Educating, & Creating Trust.
To gain respect you must earn it and know when to give it others. Treat people how you would expect to be treated with kindness and respect. There are some things in this life that we can't control such as the weather and world disasters but we can control what kindness we give and share to the ones who are suffering, spread the word and spread the kindness and love, you will feel better for loving rather then hating, pass it on to your children, love conquers all and hates destroys humanity.
Broken Relationships
If a loving relationship has broken up, don't block out all the memories you shared, as that is what has defined you and made you who you are today. However good, bad or painful, Learn and take strength from it and if you persevere it will lead you to a greater love worth waiting for.
Nobody said love would last forever as life gets in the way. We all grow; we all change and move into different directions in our lives. Don't try and hold on to the past, live now, live for today and plan for the future and be happy with your life, you do not need a partner to be happy and complete, you should try to accomplish completeness within yourself and find inner peace and happiness within yourself. You must find happiness within yourself alone before you can find happiness with anyone else.
Saying Goodbye to someone or something & moving on
If it's time to say goodbye to someone or something, however sad this may be. One tip that may help you is if you've had flowers recently, when the flowers have come to their end and died take them to a pond, river or canal or sea and one by one throw them in with the reasons why you need to say goodbye to this person or situation. If you have not had any flowers pick some out of your garden. (Please note if you cannot obtain any flowers then write down the things that are troubling you onto separate pieces of papers and tear them up and follow same instructions.) To wish for a fresh start and new beginnings go to the same place with fresh picked or bought flowers, follow the same instructions and say what your new beginnings are or what you want them to be and finish with the saying 'God bless this situation.'
