Gratitude Can Transform Your Life

A Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne
Creator of The Secret-I thought it worth sharing it here...

Remember, if you are criticizing, you are not being grateful. If you are blaming, you are not being grateful. If you are complaining, you are not being grateful. If you are feeling tension, you are not being grateful. If you are rushing, you are not being grateful. If you are in a bad mood, you are not being grateful.

Gratitude can transform your life. Are you allowing minor things to get in the way of your transformation and the life you deserve?



May the joy be with you,
Rhonda Byrne

Tired of being sick? Have a good sleep!

The human body is one of the most resilient machines ever created. Our immune systems run on autopilot, protecting us from a constant barrage of foreign, microscopic invaders. But as incredible as the immune system is, it’s not perfect. We all get sick from time to time — some of us chronically.

Following are the ways to protect your immune system so it can continue protecting you. Most guides stress the importance of:

· Regular exercise. Improved blood circulation can provide a solid baseline for overall health.

· Basic hygiene. Regular washing (especially of the hands) helps to limit your exposure to germs and bacteria.

· Proper diet. There are even “wonder” foods that reportedly boost the immune system.

· Restful sleep.

· Drug avoidance. Prolonged exposure to alcohol, cigarettes and narcotics puts you at a much greater risk of contracting any number of diseases — some of them fatal.

The better you take care of your physical body, the more immune you’ll be to disease, but new scientific research offers compelling evidence that the mind plays an equally (if not more) powerful role in keeping you healthy.

Blending psychology, immunology, physiology, infectious diseases, neuroscience and endocrinology, a new branch of science known as psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) has yielded some remarkable findings. Among them: Those with a positive mental outlook are less likely to get sick and more likely to recover from illness, failure and stress.



10 tips for better sleep.

· Maintain a consistent daily schedule.

· Reduce your daily caffeine intake.

· Turn off the computer or television.

· Do not go to bed on a full stomach.

· Engage in regular exercise.

· Limit beverage consumption before bed.

· Keep your bedroom dark and quiet.

· Invest in a comfortable mattress, pillow and bedding.

· Go to sleep and wake up using your internal alarm clock.

· Do not go to bed on an empty stomach.

Keep feeling good for health,

Evarkum Ponnuonam Ashamsakal...

There is so much of cultural similarity - Between Brazil and Thrissur. Shall I post the picture of Nair Pidichu Pullivalu here?

New Generation Nairs...

Interesting fight on WhatsApp...which all began with Ani Chettan speaking about the new Generation Nairs.

Chettan is the right word for nairs and mama is usually not used, but ammavan is also correct. Depends upon the relation with the person involved. Also we never used to say 'anene', 'ammene' but now the new generation use these words!

Again we had a culture to say irikku, kazhikku, varu, tharu..now it has become vaa, thaa, irikk, Kazhikk.....this style is used by the new generation, even with elders!!

As language change from place to place, there is a chance that it would get changed generation to generation. People now like language, relationships,family all short and sweet. It's a throw away time/society. There was a time when things broken were mended but now they are just thrown away for variety reasons.



There is this young person saying - Don't talk to me about my fathers family - My blood boils! Who is responsible for creating that germ in the mind of that person - who has all the time in the world for friends, but no time for ailing grandparents or people taking care of their grandparents - whose blood is boiling in their body - Better it boil, so that the heat remind them who they are!

You'r time is limited, you'r life is limited, all men and women are born, live and die. What distinguishes one from another is what we do and our dreams! If we continue reacting as other people do - which we feel is not correct, what is the difference between them and us? Be good, speak good, and do good.

Dark Circle Under Eye? Check your nose..

If extra z's do not cure those dark circles under your eyes. One common cause is nasal congestion. When your nose gets congested, veins that usually drain from your eyes into your nose become widened and darker. Rinsing your sinuses with a saltwater solution (mix 1/4 teaspoon sea salt with 2 cups warm water) or over-the-counter saline spray can help relieve nasal congestion and your dark circles. Other methods to reduce nasal congestion are:

· Drink hot liquids, such as tea or hot chicken soup. It will help moisturize your mucous membranes, speeding up the movement of your cilia and thus washing mucus out of your sinuses more quickly.

· Apply warm compresses to your face, three times a day for five minutes. A small towel soaked in warm water, placed over your face below and between the eyes, will help increase the circulation in your sinuses, which will also help speed up the movement of your cilia.

· Clear your sinuses with an aromatherapy steam bath. To help open up congested nasal passages and sinuses, put a couple of drops of eucalyptus or menthol aromatherapy oil into a bowl of hot water, then breathe the vapors.

· Unclog your sinuses with the right foods. Horseradish, grated on top of a sandwich, or some Japanese wasabi mustard can also help open up congested sinuses.

· Elevate your head when sleeping.

· Dust your bedroom. Dust and dust mites can wreak havoc on your mucous membranes, especially when you're asleep and your cilia are at rest. Using a HEPA filter air purifier is also beneficial in keeping your air as free from allergens as possible.
