Podcasts about regularity

How well did you sleep last night? Do you wake up feeling rested? Today, Jay welcomes renowned neuroscientist, sleep expert, and bestselling author Dr. Matthew Walker to unpack the profound importance of sleep and how it shapes every facet of our health and wellbeing. Bestselling author of Why We Sleep, Dr. Matthew Walker brings scientific rigor and heartfelt clarity to one of the most misunderstood and underestimated aspects of our lives. Matthew opens the discussion by challenging the myth of the 'eight-hour rule.' While the average adult does best with seven to nine hours of sleep, the focus quickly shifts beyond just duration. Instead, Matthew introduces a more holistic four part framework—Quantity, Quality, Regularity, and Timing, or QQRT. This framework highlights how sleep is not simply about how long one sleeps, but also how deeply, how consistently, and how well it aligns with our natural biological rhythms. Jay and Matthew's conversation also tackles common disruptors of restorative sleep, including caffeine, alcohol, and excessive exposure to artificial light. Dr. Walker discusses how these elements can interfere with the brain’s ability to enter deep and REM sleep, the latter being especially important for emotional processing, hormonal regulation, and memory consolidation. Sleep, it turns out, influences far more than individual health. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Know If You’re Getting Enough Sleep How to Improve Sleep Using the QQRT Formula How to Align Your Sleep With Your Body’s Internal Clock How to Avoid Waking Up Tired Every Morning How to Optimize Your Evening Routine for Better Sleep How to Fall Back Asleep After Waking Up at Night How to Diagnose Sleep Apnea at Home With scientific insight and practical wisdom, the episode paints a vivid picture of how sleep, when prioritized and protected, can serve as a catalyst for healing, clarity, and sustainable energy.

Regularity is important in a publication, but there's a certain uncertainty that comes with material created by Town Crier Productions. The goal is for the podcast editions to come out on Fridays, but there are times when that will shift. The reasons for these occasional deviations are not to be written out, but if you listen to the recording perhaps I will explain more. I'm Sean Tubbs and this is my best attempt at suspense.In this edition:* The Free Enterprise Forum holds a campaign forum for the two candidates for the Jack Jouett District (learn more)* The Free Enterprise Forum also held one for the three people running for two Democratic slots for City Council on the ballot this fall (podcast-only preview!)* The governing body of the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority gets an update and adopts a budget for FY2026 (learn more)* There will be a public hearing before Charlottesville City Council on June 2 for utility rate increases (learn more)* Albemarle County on track to exceed revenue forecast for FY2025 (learn more)Join the dozens of people who have signed up this week! The next edition comes out tomorrow and will give a preview of upcoming government meetings!First shout out: Charlottesville E-bike Lending LibraryIt's the last day of Charlottesville Bike Month. The rolling topography of the Charlottesville area might keep some people away from choosing cycling as an option to get around. Perhaps an e-bike is in order?That's where Charlottesville's eBike Lending Library comes in! E-bikes are a great way to get around the community but there are many brands and styles to choose from. Because many e-bikes are sold online, it can be a challenge to try an e-bike before buying one.The Charlottesville E-bike Lending Library is a free, not-for-profit service working to expand access to e-bikes in the area. They have a small collection of e-bikes that they lend out to community members for up to a week, for free. You can experience your daily commute, go grocery shopping, or even bike your kids to school, and decide whether e-bikes are right for you. Check out this service at https://www.ebikelibrarycville.org!Program announcements for May 31, 2025As I said above, the podcast versions usually come out on Fridays but there are often times that does not happen. There's a radio version that airs on WTJU at 6 a.m. and it has to be 29 minutes long at least. I'm visiting family this week so things aren't quite as efficient. I was up until 10 p.m. last night writing and producing the City Council segment and uploading it to YouTube.The written version may go out on Information Charlottesville tomorrow but it will definitely be in the Monday edition of the newsletter. I'm deciding against posting new text content on Saturday because this is usually the day I try not to work if I can help it.But it's also the day I look at all of the jurisdictions in Virginia's Fifth Congressional District to get ready for the meeting previews I'll post on Fifth District Community Engagement throughout the week ahead. Later on today I'll scope out tomorrow's Week Ahead and possibly will try to start my second story for the next C-Ville Weekly.You may think this doesn't sound like a day off. But organization is the way I'm able to get all of this work done on a steady basis. And I listen to music throughout the day! Right now, I'm listening to the new Sparks album, MAD! There's a lot to dislike about these times, but access to music connects me to humanity. It makes me feel like I'm living to hear something new for the first time.I'm really procrastinating now as I wait for the last song on the album to stop. This feels like a very important album and I've just heard it for the first time.I have to record the continuity for the podcast. That's the opening, the shout-outs, and the end piece. I have a template I use each time and I have a whole series of sounds I use as interstitials to break up the segments. All of the segments are produced separately and in an ideal world I'd record the narration before I post them to Charlottesville Community Engagement.Okay the album ended, and I conclude this procrastinatory text by wanting to express my gratitude to my father, Joseph Tubbs, for providing me an example of how to be productive and how to use your passion to fuel your career. It's his birthday today and I'm about to go celebrate with him and my mother.I leave you with two videos.`Second shout-out: Charlottesville Community BikesIn today's second subscriber supported shout-out, Charlottesville Community Bikes strives to provide wheels to anyone who needs a ride. That includes:* There's a Kid's Bike program for people under the age of 12 (learn more)* Several social services organizations refer people to Charlottesville Community Bikes for access to reliable transportation (learn more)* Keep an eye on their calendar for the next mobile repair clinic (learn more)* There's also a workforce development program that “blends mentorship and comprehensive training in bicycle mechanics” (learn more)Visit the Charlottesville Community Bikes website today to learn more!

LESSON 95I Am One Self, United With My Creator.Today's idea accurately describes you as God created you. You are one within yourself, and one with Him. Yours is the unity of all creation. Your perfect unity makes change in you impossible. You do not accept this, and you fail to realize it must be so, only because you believe that you have changed yourself already.You see yourself as a ridiculous parody on God's creation; weak, vicious, ugly and sinful, miserable and beset with pain. Such is your version of yourself; a self divided into many warring parts, separate from God, and tenuously held together by its erratic and capricious maker, to which you pray. It does not hear your prayers, for it is deaf. It does not see the oneness in you, for it is blind. It does not understand you are the Son of God, for it is senseless and understands nothing.We will attempt today to be aware only of what can hear and see, and what makes perfect sense. We will again direct our exercises towards reaching your one Self, Which is united with Its Creator. In patience and in hope we try again today.The use of the first five minutes of every waking hour for practicing the idea for the day has special advantages at the stage of learning in which you are at present. It is difficult at this point not to allow your mind to wander, if it undertakes extended practice. You have surely realized this by now. You have seen the extent of your lack of mental discipline, and of your need for mind training. It is necessary that you be aware of this, for it is indeed a hindrance to your advance.Frequent but shorter practice periods have other advantages for you at this time. In addition to recognizing your difficulties with sustained attention, you must also have noticed that, unless you are reminded of your purpose frequently, you tend to forget about it for long periods of time. You often fail to remember the short applications of the idea for the day, and you have not yet formed the habit of using the idea as an automatic response to temptation.Structure, then, is necessary for you at this time, planned to include frequent reminders of your goal and regular attempts to reach it. Regularity in terms of time is not the ideal requirement for the most beneficial form of practice in salvation. It is advantageous, however, for those whose motivation is inconsistent, and who remain heavily defended against learning.We will, therefore, keep to the five-minutes-an-hour practice periods for a while, and urge you to omit as few as possible. Using the first five minutes of the hour will be particularly helpful, since it imposes firmer structure. Do not, however, use your lapses from this schedule as an excuse not to return to it again as soon as you can. There may well be a temptation to regard the day as lost because you have already failed to do what is required. This should, however, merely be recognized as what it is; a refusal to let your mistake be corrected, and an unwillingness to try again.The Holy Spirit is not delayed in His teaching by your mistakes. He can be held back only by your unwillingness to let them go. Let us therefore be determined, particularly for the next week or so, to be willing to forgive ourselves for our lapses in diligence, and our failures to follow the instructions for practicing the day's idea. This tolerance for weakness will enable us to overlook it, rather than give it power to delay our learning. If we give it power to do this, we are regarding it as strength, and are confusing strength with weakness.When you fail to comply with the requirements of this course, you have merely made a mistake. This calls for correction, and for nothing else. To allow a mistake to continue is to make additional mistakes, based on the first and reinforcing it. It is this process that must be laid aside, for it is but another way in which you would defend illusions against the truth.Let all these errors go by recognizing them for what they are. They are attempts to keep you unaware you are one Self, united with your Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in power and in peace. This is the truth, and nothing else is true. Today we will affirm this truth again, and try to reach the place in you in which there is no doubt that only this is true.Begin the practice periods today with this assurance, offered to your mind with all the certainty that you can give:I am one Self, united with my Creator,at one with every aspect of creation,and limitless in power and in peace.Then close your eyes and tell yourself again, slowly and thoughtfully, attempting to allow the meaning of the words to sink into your mind, replacing false ideas:I am one Self.Repeat this several times, and then attempt to feel the meaning that the words convey.You are one Self, united and secure in light and joy and peace. You are God's Son, one Self, with one Creator and one goal; to bring awareness of this oneness to all minds, that true creation may extend the Allness and the Unity of God. You are one Self, complete and healed and whole, with power to lift the veil of darkness from the world, and let the light in you come through to teach the world the truth about yourself.You are one Self, in perfect harmony with all there is, and all that there will be. You are one Self, the holy Son of God, united with your brothers in that Self; united with your Father in His Will. Feel this one Self in you, and let It shine away all your illusions and your doubts. This is your Self, the Son of God Himself, sinless as Its Creator, with His strength within you and His Love forever yours. You are one Self, and it is given you to feel this Self within you, and to cast all your illusions out of the one Mind that is this Self, the holy truth in you.Do not forget today. We need your help; your little part in bringing happiness to all the world. And Heaven looks to you in confidence that you will try today. Share, then, its surety, for it is yours. Be vigilant. Do not forget today. Throughout the day do not forget your goal. Repeat today's idea as frequently as possible, and understand each time you do so, someone hears the voice of hope, the stirring of the truth within his mind, the gentle rustling of the wings of peace.Your own acknowledgment you are one Self, united with your Father, is a call to all the world to be at one with you. To everyone you meet today, be sure to give the promise of today's idea and tell him this:You are one Self with me, united with our Creator in this Self.I honor you because of What I am, and What He is,Who loves us both as one.- Jesus Christ in Acim

Do Nothing! If you are struggling with sleep and had a bad night of sleep, do not sleep in later, do not go to bed earlier, do not increase caffeine intake, do not compensate with a nap* 2. Time rescheduling/sleep restriction therapy: if you are spending too much time in bed, your brain is not efficient; it's like being in the gym for hours a day but spending most of the time scrolling on your phone – you're not really getting a good workout like if you know you only have 45 minutes to workout* 3. Don't underestimate the importance of a winddown routine: whatever you enjoy for relaxation, build it into your regimen to help you decelerate* 4. Do NOT count sheep, instead take yourself on a mental walk: counting sheep actually makes you stay awake longer; instead, get your mind off itself by going through a rudimentary walk with hyper-detail – imagine putting your shoes on, opening the door, crossing the street, imagine the signs you see, look at the flowers, etc.* 5. Remove …* Monophasic sleep: Single bout of sleep in 24 hour period* Biphasic sleep: Two bouts of sleep in 24 hour period* Polyphasic sleep: …​Napping* Naps are a Double-Edged Sword: If you struggle with sleep at night, do not nap during the day in order to build up sleepiness and hopefully sleep at night* ​Cons of Napping: Naps remove sleep pressure (adenosine) so if you struggle with sleep, you are setting yourself up for worse sleep because you've removed some of the sleepiness you need* ​Pros of Napping: If napping does not disrupt your sleep and leaves you feeling better, go ahead and nap but be cautious of napping too late which can disrupt sleep* ​Are Naps Right F…* ​Super Charged Nap: Swig espresso right before napping + nap 20 minutes + cold water to hands and face upon waking + immediate daylight 5-10 minutes outside​3 Ways Sleep is Essential for Learning:​* 1: We need sleep before learning to start the initial imprint and laying the tracks; sleep before learning is critical* 2: We also need sleep after learning to cement the information in our brain* 3: We need sleep to integrate the new information with previously learned information we have stored* ​Exactly How Much an All-Nighter Impacts Memory: Pulling an all-nighter leads to deficits of up to 40% in making new memories* …* Symptoms of REM Sleep Deprivation: Paranoia, hallucination, aspects of psychosis (with enough time)* Bad Sleep, And Then: When sleep deprived, you're excessively reactive and hypersensitive, particularly to reward-based activities – dopamine circuits are overactive when you are underslept* Sleep and Addiction: A lack of sleep is associated with addiction potential AND relapse if trying to abstain* REM Sleep Killers: Alcohol, THC* One Possible Mechanism for PTSD: The brain is trying to process the traumatic experience but fails, so the brain tries again the next night, and the next – until …Brain Features of REM:* (1) Electrical brain wave activity in the cortex is similar to that when you are awake;* (2) There are unique pulses from the brain stem ultimately to the occipital cortex (linked to rapid eye movements);* (3) Motor regions, visual regions, memory-related structures, and emotional-related structures of the brain all light up* (4) The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (responsible for inhibition and planning) activity is suppressed during REM* Functions of REM sleep: (1) Creativity; (2) Emotional & mental wellness – REM sleep is overnight therapy* …* (1) Consistently rehearse the notion that you will remember your dreams and you will take control of your dreams – if you do this enough, the probability you will induce lucid dreams is high* (2) Rehearse something (like flicking a light switch on and off) over and over; Then, when this appears in your dream you can take control* …Get the FULL NOTES Thank you for subscribing.

In this episode of the Moonshots Podcast, Mike and Mark explore one of the most essential pillars of human health: sleep. Guided by the groundbreaking research of Dr. Matthew Walker, author of Why We Sleep, the hosts explore why sleep is a critical component of physical and mental performance, emotional well-being, and long-term health.The episode begins by exploring the importance of sleep in memory, learning, and decision-making. Walker explains that sleep is not simply “downtime” but a fundamental process that helps store information and reset the brain for the next day.The hosts then transition into the science of sleep, discussing how aging impacts sleep quality and how a lack of restorative sleep can accelerate cognitive decline. They also cover Walker's research on how insufficient sleep weakens the immune system, increasing your risk of developing chronic illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer.But it's not all science – this episode is packed with practical tips for improving sleep hygiene. Walker outlines simple yet effective strategies to optimize your sleep:✅ Maintain regular sleep patterns✅ Make your room dark and cool✅ Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed✅ Get out of bed if you can't sleep – reset and try againThe hosts conclude with a compelling message from Walker: Sleep is not a luxury – it's a biological necessity. It is your Swiss Army knife for health, affecting every system in your body and brain.

LW1433 - If Not Every Day, Then at Least with Regularity Pianist Vladimir Horowitz has said that if he skips practice one day, he knows it. If he skips practice two days, his wife know it.

A version of this essay was published by the Deccan Herald at https://www.deccanherald.com/opinion/the-depressing-regularity-of-regime-change-operations-3318109This podcast is AI generated by Google NotebookLM: Imagine this scenario: In a certain country, there is someone in power who is not liked by one section of the population. Some global powers support this person; others support the opposition. One fine day there is a coup d'etat, and this person is overthrown and exiled. The opposition takes over amidst scenes of jubilation.Pliant media condemns the former ruler and welcomes the new regime. “Democracy”, they chant.But then shortly thereafter, darker things come to the fore. There are atrocities against certain sections of the population. These may be in violation of the norms of civilized society, and may include rapes, abductions, looting, murders, destruction, ethnic cleansing, and so on. In general, chaos reigns and human suffering is widespread.Bangladesh, did you say? Yes, but I was also thinking of Syria. And then this is a scenario that plays out with depressing, even metronomic, regularity in many other parts of the world. To name a few examples, there were Iraq, Libya, Iran, Afghanistan; and to look outside West Asia, there were Chile, Congo, Guatemala, South Vietnam, Brazil, Ethiopia, Yemen, Cambodia, Laos, Tibet, to name just a few.Yes, it's not just the Americans, but also the Soviets/Russians and the Chinese that have indulged in overthrowing regimes they didn't like. And usually with similar after-effects.It appears that there is a simple playbook. Arm and support particular groups friendly to you or your ideology, get them to overthrow the person you don't like, and then provide covering propaganda fire for the people you installed. This is despite the inevitable mayhem and revenge that the latter inflict on their erstwhile foes as well as the collateral damage on innocent bystanders.It is safe to say that Ukraine's regime-change, infamously attributed to an American diplomat, also did not turn out well for that nation's civilians.It's not clear if these are unintended consequences, or whether the instigators truly don't care about the damage inflicted on civilian populations. Suffice to say that there are losers at the end of the day, especially religious and ethnic minorities.The reports coming out of Bangladesh about the atrocities being committed on Hindus there are horrendous. In effect, the Hindu population looks like it is on the way to being entirely wiped out, which was also the experience in Afghanistan after the latest Taliban takeover. The tragedy is that the rest of the world – including India – does not seem to care. Nor do such entities as the United Nations, nor the grandly-named US Council on International Religious Freedom.In Syria, if there are any Syrian Orthodox Christians left (they are a community that predates the Vatican, has its liturgy in Aramaic, and owes its allegiance to the Patriarch of Antioch, not the Pope) they are surely bearing the brunt of the takeover by radical Islamists. Their forebears are said to have arrived in India around 345 CE, and some people in Kerala still call themselves “Syrian Christians”.In addition, there are populations such as the Alawite sect of Islam, and other ancient groups such as Kurds and Druze either in Syria or in surrounding areas. The Kurds have been fighting for an independent homeland for a long time; the Druze inhabit border areas in Lebanon and have been generally neutral in the many wars there. Given the experiences of another ancient group, the Yazidi, when radicals attacked them ten years ago, things may not look so good for these groups either.The net take-away is that regime-change induced from outside is generally a bad idea for any nation, and can lead to significant human misery. India would be wise to take this lesson to heart, because there is reason to believe there are regime-change operations mounted by, among others, an infamous financier. There is large-scale online propaganda against India, and against Hindus, as well as continuous unrest, large and small (see Manipur).These efforts are supported by certain embedded assets inside the country: the “barbarians within” as in historian Will Durant's words: “...civilization is a precarious thing, whose delicate complex of order and liberty, culture and peace may at any time be overthrown by barbarians invading from without or multiplying within.” (The Story of Civilization: Part 1, Our Oriental Heritage, pp 452, Simon and Shuster, New York, 1952)If there is one strategic position India urgently needs to adopt, that would be to anticipate, forestall and thwart these attempts at regime change. They reflect not the will of the people, but malign interests.760 words, 12 Dec 2024 This is a public episode.

In this episode, we delve into the actionable side of generosity, inspired by the example Paul set and the words of Jesus as recorded in Acts 20:35. We'll explore various practical ways to express generosity, showing that giving extends far beyond financial contributions.Our springboard for today's discussion is: Acts 20:35: "In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.'" This scripture reminds us of the holistic approach to giving that encompasses time, resources, and care.Generosity is a hallmark of the Christian faith, reflecting our understanding of how much we've been given through Christ. Today, we'll break down practical steps to embody this trait in everyday life, ensuring that our actions consistently reflect our values.Broadening the Scope of Generosity:* Beyond Financial Giving: While tithes and offerings are important, generosity also includes volunteering time, sharing skills, and offering emotional and social support to those around us.* Supporting the Weak and Needy: True generosity seeks out those who are most vulnerable—whether financially, emotionally, or spiritually—and looks for ways to uplift and support them.Practical Ways to Live Generously:* Regular Volunteering: Commit to regular hours at local shelters, food banks, or community centers. Regularity, rather than occasional volunteering, makes a deeper impact.* Skill Sharing: Offer your professional skills to those who can benefit from them, such as free tutoring, legal advice, or medical support.* Random Acts of Kindness: Simple acts like paying for someone's groceries, mowing a neighbor's lawn, or delivering a meal to a sick friend can all be expressions of generosity.* Support Ministries and Charities: Identify and commit to supporting ministries or charities that resonate with your spiritual values and beliefs.Making Generosity a Lifestyle:* Plan and Budget for Giving: Just like you budget for other expenses, set aside resources for charitable giving. This could be money, but also consider allocations of time.* Incorporate Giving into Family Life: Teach children the importance of generosity through family projects, like assembling care packages or participating in community clean-ups.* Encourage in Community: Share your journey of generosity with your church or community group to encourage others and potentially coordinate efforts for greater impact.ConclusionGenerosity is not merely an act but a lifestyle that mirrors the generosity God shows us daily. By integrating these practical steps into our lives, we can ensure that our generosity is not sporadic but a consistent and fulfilling aspect of our Christian walk.A Question of the Day: What is one area of your life where you can start being more generous starting today?Growth Challenge: Choose one aspect of generosity discussed today and implement it over the next month. Keep a journal of your experiences and reflections on how these acts of generosity affect both you and those you serve.Let's Pray: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your boundless generosity toward us. Help us to reflect Your love through our actions every day. Guide us to see opportunities for generosity and give us the courage to act on them, spreading Your love and kindness in a world in great need. Amen.As you move forward, remember that every act of giving is a reflection of God's love. Let's embrace the blessedness of giving and make generosity a defining feature of our lives.

Healthy aging requires healthy arteries and a healthy heart. Cardio NAD+ is a state-of-the-art solution which uses the most novel ingredients available to help optimize cardiovascular health. As one of the most important systems in your body, we have designed this combination to be synergistic to the many different areas of cardiovascular health while demonstrating cardioprotective effects including the emerging connection between NAD+ and heart health. Featured Supportive Benefits: Improves net NAD+ status by supporting both its synthesis and limiting its degradation Supports healthy blood pressure Improves vascular aging and endothelial function Supports healthy fibrinolytic activity and clotting function Promotes healthy circulation and blood flow Inhibits platelet & red blood cell aggregation Decreases blood viscosity Supports clinical measures of inflammation Supports healthy blood sugar and insulin levels Inhibits lipid peroxidation Supports healthy lipid metabolism Demonstrated reduction in various independent cardiovascular risk factors   Resolve+ Resolve+ contains numerous compounds that have been found to reduce the inflammatory response by targeting a variety of mechanisms.  Acmella oleracea ("jambu") is sourced from Sardinia, Italy and rich in alkylamides mainly represented by spilanthol. Its flowers are widely used in folk medicine to treat toothache due to tingling, numbness, and local anesthesia caused in the mouth.  Acmella oleracea has been shown to be active in fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) inhibition the enzyme responsible for the degradation of fatty acid amides and cannabinoid type 2 (CB2) activation.  There are almost 100 studies suggesting the supportive potential for anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and analgesic effects of Acmella. Studies reported in this review confirmed activities of Acmella, postulating that transcription factors of the nuclear factor-κB family (NF-κB) trigger the transcription iNOS and COX-2 and several other pro-inflammatory mediators, such as IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α. Curcumin, a natural polyphenolic compound derived from turmeric (Curcuma longa L.), has been well documented to exhibit various health benefits. There have been many claims on the health benefits of curcumin on neurological, cardiovascular, lung, metabolic, and liver function, mainly through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Despite its promising potential, the clinical application of curcumin has been limited due to its low bioavailability. To enhance curcumin absorption, we are the first to feature Theracurmin Super® 85X, a proprietary curcumin utilizing the latest technology that transforms standard curcumin into an amorphous structure. Theracurmin Super® 85X uses the latest technology to transform regular curcumin particles into a more bioavailable structure. This is done by splitting curcumin particles' crystal structure amorphous, therefore, making it easily absorbed and bioavailable to maximize its supportive potential. Tetrahydrocurcumin (4-HC) is the key bioactive derivative of curcumin, it's also given credibility as the engine behind all that curcumin brings to the table. With a newfound ability to extract and isolate the compound, research has even seen tetrahydrocurcumin outperform its parent compound in several tests of its capabilities. Researchers have also confirmed that 4-HC attenuated pro-inflammatory indicators like interleukin-1, interleukin-6, TNF-⍺, and prostaglandin E2.  After reviewing the data, we found many advantages to infuse tetrahydrocurcumin as CurcuPrime® stacked with Theracurmin Super® 85X into Resolve+. Quercetin is a well-known studied dietary flavonoid ubiquitously present in various vegetables. Quercetin is known for its antioxidant activity in radical scavenging and anti-allergic properties characterized by stimulation of immune system, antiviral activity, inhibition of histamine release, decrease in pro-inflammatory cytokines, leukotrienes creation, and suppresses interleukin IL-4 production.  Multiple studies have confirmed its supportive potential as an immune modulator and its ability to support a healthy inflammatory response. It can improve the Th1/Th2 balance, and restrain antigen specific IgE antibody formation However, chemical instability, poor water solubility and low bioavailability of quercetin greatly limit its applications which is why a phytosome technology which we feature in resolve is the preferred delivery system to overcome these limitations.  This enhanced form of quercetin has been shown to be as much as 20 times better absorbed than other quercetin options.  Casperome®  boswellia phytosome is a potent extract made from the resin of Boswellia serrata trees and is also referred as Indian frankincense. Boswellia extracts have been demonstrated to be effective in the management of various inflammatory response functions including those that occur in the bowel, joints, bones, respiratory airways and in the brain. The mechanism of action that involves the modulation of the natural inflammatory response both acting on prostanoid synthesis (mPGE2S) and protein degradation (caspases), and transcription factors (Nf-κB).  We have selected Casperome® which is a highly standardized in boswellic acids to match the natural composition of boswellia, formulated with phytosome technology to achieve optimized absorption and has been validated by over 10 human studies. Perilla frutescens is an annual herb belonging to the mint family (Lamiaceae). It is mainly produced in countries like China, Japan, India, Thailand and Korea. Recently, Perilla is gaining more attention because of its medicinal benefits and phytochemical contents. The functional compounds of Perilla Seed Extract are flavonoid Aglycons – polyphenols such as Luteolin, Apigenin, Chrysoeriol, and Rosemarinic Acid. Studies have shown that Perilla seed polyphenols regulate allergic and inflammatory response due to its 5-lipoxygenase inhibitory activity and suppression potential of histamine release from mast cells. AstraGin® is a natural compound derived from the roots of two traditional Chinese herbs: Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceous which contain astragaloside I, II, IV and ginsenoside Rb1. AstraGin® has been shown to provide full-spectrum gut support through enhanced absorption, microbiota and immune cell viability, and supporting a health. AstraGin® has been shown in numerous studies to increase the absorption of peptides, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and phytonutrients by up regulating the absorption specific mRNA and transporters, such as SGLT1, CAT1, and GLUT4. Additionally, AstraGin® was shown to reduce intestinal inflammatory biomarker MPO, the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-17, and IL-1β in ulcerative colitis patients. Prime Gut Health Prime Gut Health was created because the digestive system is the foundation of getting and staying healthy. There are many benefits to an optimal digestive system such as a healthy immune system and the protection against harmful viruses, bacteria, fungi, and yeast. The ingredients selected in Prime Gut Health work together to help restore gut homeostasis and GI barrier function.    There are many benefits to taking Prime Gut Health, including:  Supports healthy GI barrier function*   Helps restore gut homeostasis* Binds and neutralizes bacterial toxins in the gut*  Promotes a healthy immune system and respiratory health* Supports digestive health and gut discomfort*  Increased nutrient absorption*  Supports gut inflammation especially within the intestinal wall*  Promotes a healthier GI environment* Promoted regularity and healthy bowel function*    WHAT MAKES PRIME GUT HEALTH SO IMPACTFUL? ImmunoLin® is the branded ingredient serum-derived bovine immunoglobulin/protein isolate (SBI) with over 40 human studies demonstrating its clinical efficacy in digestive and immune health.   SBI has been shown to be a broad-spectrum modulator of the immune system by targeting excessive or imbalanced immunity.* In addition, ImmunoLin® works by binding, neutralizing, and removing pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and other gut irritants that can lead to inflammation.* It also helps to repair the gut lining and restore gut homeostasis.*   Tributyrin (as CoreBiome®) is a postbiotic and the most important short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) for supporting digestive, gut, immune and gastrointestinal health. CoreBiome® is a unique butyrate formula intended to pass intact through the stomach and small intestine to deliver butyrate right where it's needed—the colon.  CoreBiome® supports: Delivery of butyrate to the colon where it helps maintain the integrity of your intestinal lining* Helps repair the gut lining and restore gut homeostasis*  Tight junctures in the intestinal lining*  Regularity and regulation of a normal inflammatory response* Sporebiotics:  Soil-based probiotics have been touted for their stability, ability to improve digestion, stimulate the immune system, and help maintain a healthy gut microbiota. Bacillus coagulans SNZ 1969®, Bacillus subtilis SNZ 1972 and Bacillus clausii SNZ 1971 are supported with an over 50 year history of use and over 30 human studies covering gut health, gastrointestinal discomfort, immunity against GI tract pathogens, inhibition of food borne pathogens, inhibition of bacteria causing dental carries and gingivitis along with bacterial vaginosis. AstraGin® is a 100% natural compound derived from the roots of two traditional Chinese herbs: Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceous,  containing astragaloside I, II, IV and ginsenoside Rb1. AstraGin® enhances nutrient absorption by up-regulating nutrient transporters, such as CAT1, SGLT1, and FR. AstraGin® restores gut wall integrity by triggering an anti-inflammatory response and activating the mTOR pathway for rapid intestinal stem cell migration and differentiation in the inflamed intestinal mucosal barrier (epithelial cell and tight junction). AstraGin® promotes gut ecosystem homeostasis by the symbiotic effect of restoring gut wall integrity and increasing microbiota-immunity communication.  AstraGin® activates the immune system through the symbiotic effect of improved gut wall integrity and enhanced microbiota-immunity communication. AstraGin® demonstrated in a recent published human clinical trial, to improve upon a number of measurable factors relating to gut health making it an ideal addition into Prime Gut Health.  PrimeTime  Prime Time is a comprehensive blend of 12 key natural ingredients shown to have a role in supporting age management powered by industry leading 10mg's of spermidine per serving.  Prime Time has been formulated with ingredients to mimic fasting and catalyze your body's natural ability to rid itself of aged cells.  Various publications demonstrate the potential this formula will have in your longevity protocols as Prime Time was formulated to support:   Epigenetic aging*  Boosting autophagy and promote cellular renewal*  Fasting* Memory, cognition, and brain health* Cardiovascular health* Beauty from within* Mitochondria*  WHAT MAKES PRIME TIME SO IMPACTFUL? Spermidine Spermidine, a natural polyamine, plays a critical role in molecular and cellular interactions involved in various physiological and functional processes. Spermidine has been shown to modulate aging, suppress the occurrence and severity of age-related diseases, and prolong lifespan.  The concentration of spermidine declines with age, and exogenous spermidine supplementation reverses age- associated adverse changes and supports health span. Given that it interacts with various molecules, spermidine influences aging through diverse mechanisms.  Autophagy is the body's way of cleaning out damaged cells, to regenerate newer, healthier cells and is the main mechanism of spermidine. In addition, spermidine exerts its effects through other mechanisms, including anti-inflammation, histone acetylation reduction, lipid metabolism and regulation of cell growth and signaling pathways. Nicotinamide mononucleotide  Nicotinamide mononucleotide, a naturally occurring molecule present in all species.  NMN is rapidly absorbed and converted to NAD+, which evidence shows declines as we age.  In numerous studies, supplementation has increased NAD+ biosynthesis, suppressed age-related adipose tissue inflammation, enhanced insulin secretion and insulin action, improved mitochondrial function, and improves neuronal function in the brain among much more. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG)  Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the major catechin in green tea.  There is consistency in the literature about the beneficial role of green tea on senescence-related mechanisms, thanks to its scavenging properties against reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and its ability to stimulate autophagy  Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) is a molecule involved in several metabolic and cellular pathways that declines with age. It works as an energy donor, a precursor in amino acid production, and a cellular signaling molecule, and it is a regulator of epigenetic processes.  Dihydroquercetin (Taxifolin)  Dihydroquercetin is a powerful antioxidant of plant origin that can protect cells from the harmful effects of free radicals and protect cell membranes against damage Apigenin Apigenin is a natural bioactive plant polyphenol with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immune system boosting properties.  It also helps to support against oxidative stress for better cellular function. Studies have shown that apigenin prevents excessive loss of NAD+ by reducing the amount of circulating CD38, allowing NAD+ stores to remain at higher, more youthful levels. Luteolin Luteolin is a flavonoid naturally found in plants. Flavonoids like luteolin have been found to have beneficial effects on human health by reducing oxidative stress.   Trimethylglycine (TMG) Trimethylglycine (TMG) is an amino acid derivative that occurs in plants and has been shown to support methylation which, in turn, supports the homocysteine levels. Taking TMG along with NMN provides the ideal balance for NAD+ production in the body.  Resveratrol  Resveratrol is part of a group of compounds called polyphenols, which act as antioxidants to protect the body against age-related conditions.The anti-aging mechanisms of resveratrol are mainly modulating oxidative stress, relieving inflammatory reaction, improving mitochondrial function, and regulating apoptosis. Resveratrol is considered for the prevention and support of aging and age-related diseases as it mimics the effects of calorie restriction.  Pterostilbene Pterostilbene is a phenolic compound in the same family as resveratrol and is present in small amounts in a large variety of foods and beverages like blueberries or red wine. Multiple studies confirm pterostilbene's remarkable anti-aging effects.

When our expectations of sex come from fiction and not reality, we end up disappointed and frustrated. The messiness of real life is no match for the illusion of media. “Intimacy is key to having a healthy, functional and overall happy relationship.” John Hopkins - Chris Kraft, Ph.D., director of clinical services at the Sex and Gender Clinic “Our prediction models establish intimacy as the main predictor of sexual satisfaction.” Your Sexual Medical Journal Intimacy includes: ● Relational ● Physical ● Emotional Therefore, to help make your sex life better and more satisfying, focus on the following: #1 Increase general relationship satisfaction... …how both partners feel about the relationship overall impacts their feelings of sexual satisfaction as well… Given that, spending some time improving your relationship in other areas can benefit you in the bedroom. Psychology Today Don't weaponize scriptures or sex to manipulate and guilt another for self-gratification. Relational: Without intentionality and boundaries, we can give all our time and energy away and leave nothing for our spouses. Planned For – Say, No “In terms of how their sex life could be improved, people say they're looking for more love and romance, more quality time alone with their partner, more fun, and less stress.” Verywell Mind “There is strong evidence to suggest that relationship factors and dynamics contribute to a large portion of the overall variance in sexual satisfaction scores” University of Texas Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”… …Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!” Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean.” John 13:8 & 9-10 Physical Orgasm gap (90% men & 48% female) Regularity (snack, meal, feast) Communication “…only 28% of women can have an orgasm from penetrative sex alone. “For a lot of women, they need direct clitoral stimulation in order to have an orgasm.”… …“Women have the same kind of erectile tissues as men, but all on the inside, woman need a lot of time for that stuff to come into play…After 15 to 20 minutes of foreplay,” ABC.net - 9/17 Gigi Engle is a feminist author, certified sex coach, sexologist, and sex educator. Gigi was nominated for a WEGO Health Award for her science-first sex, women's health, and relationships content. "More than half of women reported they had wanted to communicate with a partner regarding sex but decided not to; the most common reasons were not wanting to hurt a partner's feelings…” Verywell Mind The husband should fulfill his wife's sexual needs, and the wife should fulfill her husband's needs… …The wife gives authority over her body to her husband, and the husband gives authority over his body to his wife. 1st Corinthians 7:3-5 Do not deprive each other of sexual relations, unless you both agree to refrain from sexual intimacy for a limited time so you can give yourselves more completely to prayer. 1st Corinthians 7:3-5 Emotional Intimacy requires feeling valued! (Female & Male) Females & Males generally feel valued differently It's different for me (fair feeling/unfair excuse) Female: Being “for me” outside the bed confirms you're for me in the bed. Male: Being “for me” in the bed confirms you're for me outside the bed. “Interestingly, both men and women rate sex with love feelings as more sexually satisfying on average.”… …”While sexual desire may not be as intense as a couple moves into the attraction stage, having more meaningful sex (and dopamine-charged) becomes much more satisfying.” PsychCentral: Dr. Nicole Prause Sharing chores is the third-highest factor in successful marriages — behind fidelity and a happy sex life. University of Chicago “Committed relationships make women almost twice as likely to climax” Women's Health University of Chicago study Marriage is to be honored by all, and husbands and wives must be faithful to each other. Hebrews 3:4 A healthy marriage with intimate sex requires love, mutuality, selflessness, and God-given boundaries.

Romans 12:1-2 The LOGIC // The concept of sin was an INVENTION of the DEVIL who Jesus came to DESTROY along with his demonic initiative for our ETERNAL DEATH.

LESSON 95I Am One Self, United With My Creator.Today's idea accurately describes you as God created you. You are one within yourself, and one with Him. Yours is the unity of all creation. Your perfect unity makes change in you impossible. You do not accept this, and you fail to realize it must be so, only because you believe that you have changed yourself already.You see yourself as a ridiculous parody on God's creation; weak, vicious, ugly and sinful, miserable and beset with pain. Such is your version of yourself; a self divided into many warring parts, separate from God, and tenuously held together by its erratic and capricious maker, to which you pray. It does not hear your prayers, for it is deaf. It does not see the oneness in you, for it is blind. It does not understand you are the Son of God, for it is senseless and understands nothing.We will attempt today to be aware only of what can hear and see, and what makes perfect sense. We will again direct our exercises towards reaching your one Self, Which is united with Its Creator. In patience and in hope we try again today.The use of the first five minutes of every waking hour for practicing the idea for the day has special advantages at the stage of learning in which you are at present. It is difficult at this point not to allow your mind to wander, if it undertakes extended practice. You have surely realized this by now. You have seen the extent of your lack of mental discipline, and of your need for mind training. It is necessary that you be aware of this, for it is indeed a hindrance to your advance.Frequent but shorter practice periods have other advantages for you at this time. In addition to recognizing your difficulties with sustained attention, you must also have noticed that, unless you are reminded of your purpose frequently, you tend to forget about it for long periods of time. You often fail to remember the short applications of the idea for the day, and you have not yet formed the habit of using the idea as an automatic response to temptation.Structure, then, is necessary for you at this time, planned to include frequent reminders of your goal and regular attempts to reach it. Regularity in terms of time is not the ideal requirement for the most beneficial form of practice in salvation. It is advantageous, however, for those whose motivation is inconsistent, and who remain heavily defended against learning.We will, therefore, keep to the five-minutes-an-hour practice periods for a while, and urge you to omit as few as possible. Using the first five minutes of the hour will be particularly helpful, since it imposes firmer structure. Do not, however, use your lapses from this schedule as an excuse not to return to it again as soon as you can. There may well be a temptation to regard the day as lost because you have already failed to do what is required. This should, however, merely be recognized as what it is; a refusal to let your mistake be corrected, and an unwillingness to try again.The Holy Spirit is not delayed in His teaching by your mistakes. He can be held back only by your unwillingness to let them go. Let us therefore be determined, particularly for the next week or so, to be willing to forgive ourselves for our lapses in diligence, and our failures to follow the instructions for practicing the day's idea. This tolerance for weakness will enable us to overlook it, rather than give it power to delay our learning. If we give it power to do this, we are regarding it as strength, and are confusing strength with weakness.When you fail to comply with the requirements of this course, you have merely made a mistake. This calls for correction, and for nothing else. To allow a mistake to continue is to make additional mistakes, based on the first and reinforcing it. It is this process that must be laid aside, for it is but another way in which you would defend illusions against the truth.Let all these errors go by recognizing them for what they are. They are attempts to keep you unaware you are one Self, united with your Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in power and in peace. This is the truth, and nothing else is true. Today we will affirm this truth again, and try to reach the place in you in which there is no doubt that only this is true.Begin the practice periods today with this assurance, offered to your mind with all the certainty that you can give:I am one Self, united with my Creator,at one with every aspect of creation,and limitless in power and in peace.Then close your eyes and tell yourself again, slowly and thoughtfully, attempting to allow the meaning of the words to sink into your mind, replacing false ideas:I am one Self.Repeat this several times, and then attempt to feel the meaning that the words convey.You are one Self, united and secure in light and joy and peace. You are God's Son, one Self, with one Creator and one goal; to bring awareness of this oneness to all minds, that true creation may extend the Allness and the Unity of God. You are one Self, complete and healed and whole, with power to lift the veil of darkness from the world, and let the light in you come through to teach the world the truth about yourself.You are one Self, in perfect harmony with all there is, and all that there will be. You are one Self, the holy Son of God, united with your brothers in that Self; united with your Father in His Will. Feel this one Self in you, and let It shine away all your illusions and your doubts. This is your Self, the Son of God Himself, sinless as Its Creator, with His strength within you and His Love forever yours. You are one Self, and it is given you to feel this Self within you, and to cast all your illusions out of the one Mind that is this Self, the holy truth in you.Do not forget today. We need your help; your little part in bringing happiness to all the world. And Heaven looks to you in confidence that you will try today. Share, then, its surety, for it is yours. Be vigilant. Do not forget today. Throughout the day do not forget your goal. Repeat today's idea as frequently as possible, and understand each time you do so, someone hears the voice of hope, the stirring of the truth within his mind, the gentle rustling of the wings of peace.Your own acknowledgment you are one Self, united with your Father, is a call to all the world to be at one with you. To everyone you meet today, be sure to give the promise of today's idea and tell him this:You are one Self with me, united with our Creator in this Self.I honor you because of What I am, and What He is,Who loves us both as one.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

In this episode 1 of a 6-part special series on sleep with Dr. Matthew Walker, Ph.D., professor of neuroscience and psychology and founder of the Center for Human Sleep Science at the University of California, Berkeley, and the author of the book “Why We Sleep” discusses the essential role that sleep plays in our health. We cover how sleep affects our hormones, immune system, learning and memory, mood, appetite, and weight regulation. We also discuss what causes the urge to sleep, how sleep is structured throughout the night, and the biology of the different phases of sleep. We also teach you how to determine your individualized sleep needs, including your chronotype (best waking and to-bed time), tips for combat snoring and insomnia, and your QQRT (Quality, Quantity, Regularity, and Timing)—a key framework for optimizing your sleep and therefore daytime energy and focus, and overall health. The next episode in this special series explores how to improve one's sleep. For show notes, including referenced articles and additional resources, please visit hubermanlab.com.

Scott Bannister is the founder and Managing Director of Regularity, an event company with the goal of opening the world of touring challenges to a wider audience of motorsport enthusiasts. Regularity is the evolution of an idea that participating in a classic motorsport challenge doesn't need to be about large groups, stuffy rules, hard competition, or who posts the quickest time. It can be about the adventure, about discovering new countries and experiencing jaw-dropping scenery with a small group of likeminded enthusiasts.

Have been listening on and off since the paleo solution days with Greg Everett. (six listeners can't be wrong!) Quick back story (that you can cut if this is too much but maybe helpful context), about a year ago I had a bout of food poisoning and developed a weird aversion/anxiety around eating for a few months after. I got through it with meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy and completed the Nerva hypnotherapy course recently (which was pretty nice). I think a lot of ibs symptoms that I developed came from anxiety, panic, hypervigilance and fixation and have mostly subsided as I worked in it. However, I still have problems with Regularity. I'll have a few days of slow digestion and some heartburn, bloating, and gas then a few days of everything coming out with some moderate to severe "get your ass to the bathroom quick!" mixed in, then back to slow... You get the picture. It's like things get backed up then all move at once, rinse and repeat. Went to a gi doc and he was pretty not helpful - tested for celiac (I don't have it) and IBD (I don't have it) and then told me to, like, ya know, drink Metamucil and maybe, if I wanted, follow a low fodmap diet, or whatever man... Oh, and stop drinking kombucha. Good luck! I also did a Viome test and it told me my overall gut health was good but digestion scores were poor and have some very vague dietary recommendations, though I haven't tried their probiotic yet. Anyway, with the testing behind me I went down the path of looking back at diet and driving myself insane, it's just so hard to pick through the noise Fiber is good! No fiber is not necessary! Eat yogurt! No actually, dairy is bad! Take Probiotics! No, Probiotics don't matter, take prebiotics instead! It's probably Sibo bro! But you can easily check for that so.... And on and on it goes. OK, so my actual question is: Are there any general dietary or lifestyle non-negotiables you would reccomend to help with digestion and regularity? What are the food or diet boxes to tic. Maybe there are even some supplements or other potential things like zone 2 cardio, abdominal massage, cold showers... Anything. I'm pretty healthy otherwise with my exercise being wendler powerlifting and rucking, but don't follow a super strict diet. I do now super enzymes before the first bite of lunch and dinner and take Probiotics on and off along with some fermented foods. I try to drink a lot of water but fiber drinks tend to give me some stomach upset. Appreciate you taking the time to read this. Thanks for any help you can give!   GERD, ammonia breath, and macros Nancy writes: Hi Robb and Nikki: Been one of your 6 listeners since the Paleo Solution Podcast days and first just want to thank you both for the wealth of knowledge you continue to share... your curiosity, smarts, humility and sanity have been a godsend, especially over the last 3 years. Okay, here goes... I'm having two troubling issues and am wondering if they're related: I've had what I'm pretty sure is undiagnosed GERD for about the last 3 years, but a recent overindulgence at a cookout sent it over the top. I don't feel so much heart-BURN as bloating (in the stomach, not abdomen), along with a dry cough (mostly at night), a globus sensation in my throat, the feeling of post-nasal drip, and even fluid on the middle ear when things really flare up. Oh, and the first symptom I ever noticed was after an emergency appendectomy when I discovered my tooth enamel was being corroded... coincidence? To mitigate symptoms since this recent flare-up, I've been sleeping propped up at a 45-degree angle, chewing my food into oblivion, walking after meals, practicing diaphragmatic breathing and hoping like hell to get a handle on this (without meds) before it destroys my esophagus. (Tried pickle juice, ACV and ginger... very modest effects, at best, but tasty!) No one has had the balls to tell me this, but I'm pretty sure my breath smells like urine. I constantly smell it on the rim of my drinking glass, and no, I'm not drinking pee. Also did the lick-the-wrist test and got the same smell. The internet wants to convince me I have chronic kidney failure but my kidneys appear to be working fine... no pee issues at all other than smelling it where I shouldn't. For context: I'm a 56-year-old, post-menopausal female, 5-ft 8, 150-lb mesomorph, active daily (yoga and hiking), in good shape, strong immune system, don't smoke or drink (other than a glass of white wine once a week), have regular, near-perfect poops, and eat fairly clean (whole foods plus olive oil, butter, the occasional white basmati rice and super dark chocolate), with a long, never-fully consummated flirtation with keto... hey, fat is flavor, what're ya gonna do? I also, pretty naturally, tend to stick with a 16:8 fasting-feeding window, skipping breakfast most days. I'm wondering if (despite getting a decent amount of vegetable-, fruit-, and rice-based carbs) my high fat intake and the IF might have generated enough ketones to make my breath smell pee-ish, or if that's almost always a sign of too much protein. Thing is, I don't typically get more than 40-50g of animal protein a day (e.g., 2 or 3 eggs for lunch and a 6-oz. slab of salmon for dinner) and as a post-menopausal woman, feel my protein intake is already low. My hunch is that the pee breath and GERD are related, but I'm not clear as to how. I'm wondering — if I AM getting enough fat to be in ketosis, could the fat in my diet be causing the GERD? Or is it more likely that I'm not actually in ketosis but that the GERD is causing the pee breath? (And do you think the appendix surgery could have caused the GERD, what with things getting shoved around in there willy-nilly?) Apologies for the long-winded question-palooza... totally understand if this is too long for the podcast, but if you ARE able to offer any insights, they would be very much appreciated.

This week Liz and Michelle dive into the important topic of gut health.  Fun fact that this week's guest, Pauline Cox, functional nutritionist shared with us: your gut microbiome can be positively affected by stroking a pet, going for a walk, gardening or even kissing your partner! How about that for a biohack?!   The gut microbiome impacts nearly every aspect of health from hormonal balance to brain fog. Pauline shares simple, practical tips like going for a morning walk, adding fermented foods like sauerkraut to your diet, and "Marie Kondo-ing" your fridge. The conversation covers the links between gut health and skin care, weight management, oestrogen levels, and more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Gut health impacts nearly every aspect of wellbeing including hormones, digestion, sleep, skin, and brain function. The gut microbiome is like a "fingerprint" - partly genetic but also influenced by diet, environment, stress levels, etc. Oestrogen balance is tied to gut health. Certain gut bacteria can reabsorb used oestrogen back into the body instead of allowing the liver to remove it. Regularity of bowel movements helps eliminate excess oestrogen. The gut and brain are constantly communicating via the vagus nerve 'super highway'. An unhealthy gut microbiome can lead to ongoing food cravings as the brain seeks the nutrients it needs whilst a healthy gut helps you feel satiated. Simple daily habits like walking, gardening, petting your dog, or kissing your partner can beneficially diversify your gut microbiome. Soil and animals bring good bacteria. Start by adding good things like fermented foods rather than eliminating everything at once. Sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, beetroot, and kombucha feed gut bacteria. Have at least one good bowel movement per day. Lack of magnesium and fibre or sluggish bile production can cause constipation. Going for a morning walk boosts serotonin, helps with food choices, energises you, and primes digestive processes for the day. Pauline's top 3 basic supplements are magnesium, vitamin D, and omega 3s. Target specific issues like sleep or liver health once those bases are covered.  BEST MOMENTS  "Your gut and your brain talk to each other all the time via a nerve that's a super, superhighway, and the pathway, the conversation goes both ways." "When you're eating food, let's say your omega 3 rich foods like oily fish and your protein rich foods like eggs, the nerve from your brain to your gut is sensing all the time what you're eating and is the brain getting what it needs to be optimal?" "By going for a walk first thing in the morning, you're going to feel more energised. You're going to feel happier because of the levels of serotonin and dopamine within your body. Dopamine is our motivation hormone."  "I would say go for a walk and then prepare. Really do a bit of a detox in your fridge. Go all Marie Kondo on your fridge and look at the things that are in there and think, do I really need that in there? Because it's just going to be a temptation to me." "Making small steps and simple changes rather than just thinking I'm going to stick a probiotic in and keep eating the foods I'm eating. We're much better off looking at whole foods first."

"I commend to you the importance of making prayer a regular business of life. I might say something of the value of regular times in the day for prayer. God is a God of order. The hours for morning and evening sacrifice in the Jewish temple were not fixed as they were without a meaning. Disorder is eminently one of the fruits of sin. But I would not bring any under bondage. This only I say, that it is essential to your soul's health to make praying a part of the business of every twenty four hours in your life. just as you allot time to eating, sleeping, and business, so also allot time to prayer. Choose your own hours and seasons. At the very least, speak with God in the morning, before you speak with the world: and speak with God at night, after you have done with the world. But settle it in your minds, that prayer is one of the great things of every day. Do not drive it into a corner. Do not give it the scraps and parings of your duty. Whatever else you make a business of, make a business of prayer." Wherever or however you start, make it a habit to do everything that motivates you to keep that discipline of prayer. After a time, it will not be a discipline. It will be the highlight of your day. God satisfies the human soul, but like avocados, it may take time to get a taste of them. :) Beloved brethren, once again, all I have I give to you: pray, pray, pray. Your life will be immeasurable in joy, peace, and contentment the more time you spend in sincere prayer with Almighty God. "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

In this episode of "5 Minutes in Chinese," I discuss the influence of traditional Chinese medicine and wellness principles from the ancient classic The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic or "Huangdi Neijing." I specifically highlights the concept of the "Five Strains," which are habits or postures that can harm health if not managed. I also emphasize the importance of adapting to the changing seasons and maintaining a balanced lifestyle. These ancient principles align with modern healthy living practices, making them relevant today.  Thank you for listening. Script and useful expressions below. Have a nice day!大家好，欢迎收听新一期的5分钟中文，最近天气变凉一些了，你们那里是不是感觉也越来越像秋天了呢？最近跟大家聊过中国的节气——白露。过了白露，秋天就要来了，夏天的暑气也会慢慢消退了。传统上，中国人在不同的节气，吃穿住行都有不同的讲究。现代中国人可能不太在乎传统的节气了。但是不可否认的是，古代的节气和相应的中医养生理论这些传统文化在中国人的日常生活中还是有很大影响的。今天我就想跟大家聊一聊一部中国的中医经典《黄帝内经》。传说《黄帝内经》是古代神话中的帝王黄帝写的。黄帝被认为是中国文化和医学的始祖。所以叫《黄帝内经》。《黄帝内经》是中国传统医学中最重要的著作之一，事实上是由各个时代很多中医学家写成，涵盖了很多中医的的核心理论，人体的运转和养生理论等。今天想跟大家分享几点黄帝内经中的理论和养生的原则。首先黄帝内经中提到“五劳所伤”。“五劳”是：久视，久卧，久坐，久立，久行这5种过劳病因素。久就是long time 的意思。黄帝内经中的五劳所伤就是不同的生活习惯和姿势可能会对人体的不同组织和器官产生不良的影响，从而引发健康问题。那具体来说： 1. 久视伤血：就是你总看，总用眼睛。太多了以后可能会伤害眼睛和血液循环。2.久卧伤气：久卧伤气的意思就是长时间躺着不动可能会导致你的身体循环不畅和体力减退。3. 第三个是久坐伤肉：久坐就是长时间坐着。长时间坐着可能会损害你的肌肉，导致肥胖。4. 第四个就是久立伤骨：久立长时间站立。伤骨就是损伤骨骼。你如果总站着，可能会对骨骼产生太多的负担。所以有伤害。5. 第五就是久行伤筋。久行就是长时间行走。如果你走的时间太长，可能会对你的骨骼还有筋肉产生过多压力。这样也是不好的。要维护身体健康，需要适度地调整生活方式，包括休息、运动、避免过度用眼、保持良好的坐姿和站姿等。这些原则都反映了古代中医学对健康的观点，可以在现代生活中参考。具体对于秋天的这个季节的养生来说 ，黄帝内经也提到了一些原则和方法。黄帝内经认为人需要顺应时节，与宇宙运行的规律相符。大自然有四季，秋天天气变凉，空气也变得清爽。没有夏天让人烦躁的暑热。我们应该主要保持平和的心态，要注意养生，收敛精神，不过度消耗体力和精力。我们要维持身体的一个平衡和稳定。这其中很重要的一点就是睡眠。秋天白天越来越短，所以黄帝内经建议我们跟随鸡鸣早睡早起，保持规律的生活作息。如果不顺应秋季的养生原则，过度地消耗精力或者过于紧张烦躁，就可能会损伤身体，导致冬季时一些健康问题，比如食欲不振或者消化不良。其实我觉得很多中医的原则是也是现代生活的方法。像早睡早起啊，吃应季的食物啊，做事情要适度等等。这些都是很健康的生活原则。凝聚了古代中国人对宇宙万物规律的观察和总结。那今天就跟大家聊到这里。希望你喜欢这期节目！如果你用Spotify，可以给我留言反馈。有什么问题可以给我发电子邮件。感谢您的收听，支持，和分享。我们下期再见！节气 (jiéqì) - Solar term; a period in the Chinese calendar that reflects seasonal changes.日常生活 (rìcháng shēnghuó) - Daily life.传统文化 (chuántǒng wénhuà) - Traditional culture.中医经典 (zhōngyī jīngdiǎn) - Traditional Chinese medicine classics.原则 (yuánzé) - Principle.维护 (wéihù) - To maintain.健康问题 (jiànkāng wèntí) - Health problems.规律 (guīlǜ) - Regularity; routine.生活作息 (shēnghuó zuòxī) - Daily routine.适度 (shìdù) - Moderation; in moderation.眼睛 (yǎnjing) - Eyes.身体循环 (shēntǐ xúnhuán) - Body circulation.身体组织 (shēntǐ zǔzhī) - Body tissues.生活习惯 (shēnghuó xíguàn) - Lifestyle habits.调整作息 (tiáozhěng zuòxī) - adjusting one's daily routineSupport the showThank you for listening.

Parsha Talk with Rabbis Eliot Malomet, Barry Chesler and Jeremy Kalmanofsky. Because Sh'mini Atzeret and Simchat Torah fall on Shabbat and Sunday, we have another special edition of Parashah Talk. The parashah for this Shabbat is Deuteronomy 14:22–16:17, from parashat Re'eh, which is also read on the last day of Passover and second day of Shavuot. It is Deuteronomy's festival calendar. Ironically, this calendar does not mention Sh'mini Atzeret. Our conversation took up in turn, the holidays of Hoshanah Rabbah [Friday, October 6], Shmini Atzeret [Shabbat, October 7], and Simchat Torah [October 8]. Next week we return to the regular weekly parashah, as we start the Torah reading cycle over, with Bereshit [Genesis 1:1–6:8]. At this time of year, with the conclusion of the long holiday season in sight, I am reminded of President Ford's comment when he assumed office in August, 1974: Our long national nightmare is over. Regularity and routine never looked so good! Shabbat Shalom & Chag Same'ach!!

There are hundreds of helpful tips on how to make progress in dog training. However, there is only one POWERFUL rule on how to make dog training successful: sending a clear message to your dog. In this blog, we're talking about the dog training benefits of delivering a clear expectation to your dog, and how sticking to it can massively impact dog training! Read on to learn more. Key Takeaways Consistency in routine, messaging, and activities can significantly predict whether your training will fail or will succeed. Seemingly harmless habits like letting your dog sleep on your bed, or making the dog take the lead are actually harming your training. Professional dog training services — whether done in person or with an online dog training program — can change the direction of your training. DOG CALMING CODE™️: THE TRAINING PROGRAM FOR RAISING CALMER, WELL-BEHAVED DOGS Table of Contents The Story of Chief: How to Make Dog Training Successful With Rules and Boundaries What Makes Dog Training Successful: Stick To Your Word, Stick To Consistency How to Make Dog Training Successful: 5 Ways to Remain Consistent in Your Training 6 Seemingly Harmless Factors That Make Dog Training Fail and What To Do Instead How to Make Dog Training Successful: Questions to Ask When Dog Training Doesn't Seem to Work How to Make Dog Training Successful: When to Ask Professional Help Dog Training Video Courses: Getting Guidance From a Professional Dog Trainer in the Comfort of Your Own Home The Benefits of Choosing Online Dog Training Programs How To Make Dog Training Successful: Have a Clear Goal, and a Clearer, Consistent Message   The Story of Chief: How to Make Dog Training Successful With Rules and Boundaries If there's one thing I have learned from working with thousands of dog owners, it is this: furparents do things out of love. And love is a great tool in dog training. However, on the flip-side, love can also be detrimental to a dog's progress. (I talk more about Chief's story in the video below. )   Let me share with you the story of Chief. Chief — a dog I had the lovely honor to have a consultation with — was showing challenging behavior to his dog owners. He was stressed, he had behavioral issues, and no training seemed to work. While talking with me, his owner suddenly added “But Jack sleeps with us on the bed. In fact he sleeps on my husband's head!” Now, if you're familiar with my dog training principles, you would know that hearing her words was a lightbulb moment. AHA! I knew exactly what the root of the problem was. Chief felt he was in charge. No matter how lovingly his dog owners care for him, he still felt in charge. And even though the decision to let Chief sleep on the bed was done out of love, it truly affected how the training was working for the family. ESTABLISH LEADERSHIP IN THE EYES OF YOUR DOG WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE™ What Makes Dog Training Successful: Stick To Your Word, Stick To Consistency “Leaders walk the talk… and they keep walking.” – Tejraj Singh Anand I read that quote a few days ago, and I felt like it communicates clearly why inconsistencies make dog training fail. Just like raising kids or leading a team, those that we need to guide will believe us if we send clear, consistent expectations. #1: A Successful Dog Training Includes Consistency With Your Message Consistency is key when it comes to successful dog training because dogs thrive on routine and clear communication. One common mistake that can hinder progress is sending mixed signals to your furry friend. You're training them to not scratch on the furniture, but you may not be using timeouts when they do. You want your dogs to see you as a leader, but your actions could be telling your dog “I can boss this human around!” Successful dog training stars with a clear, consistent message — one that you 100% stick to. Make sure everyone involved in the training process — including family members and housemates — is on the same page. Consistency in the commands, gestures, and expectations will prevent confusion and provide a solid foundation for your dog's learning. THE DOG TRAINING PROGRAM THAT CHANGES THE WAY YOU TRAIN YOUR DOG! #2: Dog Training Success Comes With a Routine Aligned to Your Goals A well-planned and consistent routine provides structure and clarity for both you and your dog. Additionally, a great routine paves the way to effective learning and progress. Not having a consistent messaging and routine during dog training can lead to confusion, frustration, and hindered progress. Dogs rely on clear communication and structure. Inconsistency can result in mixed signals, behavioral issues, and a lack of trust between you and your dog. The first step in creating a routine is to define your training goals. What specific behaviors or commands do you want your dog to learn? Are there any particular challenges or behavior issues you need to address? By clearly identifying your objectives, you can tailor your routine to focus on the areas that require attention. RAISING PUPPIES? THE PUPPY COACH™️ PROGRAM CAN HELP PUSH YOUR TRAINING FORWARD! #3: Sticking To The Right Training Even After Making Mistakes Embrace the mindset that mistakes are part of the journey. Dogs are incredibly forgiving and resilient, and they respond well to consistent and patient training efforts. By remaining committed to the right dog training path, even when mistakes occur, you demonstrate your dedication and desire to improve the relationship with your dog. Adapt your training approach, reinforce the correct behaviors, and maintain a positive and encouraging attitude. Remember that your dog looks to you for guidance and relies on your consistent messaging and support. Show them empathy, understanding, and patience as you navigate the training process together. How to Make Dog Training Successful: 5 Ways to Remain Consistent in Your Training Now that we have established that consistency IS KEY to dog training success, here are five ways that you can make consistency possible. #1: Establish Clear Rules and Expectations Consistency starts with clearly defining the rules and expectations for your dog. If they did something positive, use positive reinforcements and really great treats. But if a behavior issue arises, communicate to your dog immediately that what they did wrong, and use timeouts if necessary. Be consistent in what behaviors are acceptable and what are not. Communicate these expectations to everyone involved in your dog's care. #2: Stick to a Regular Training Schedule The best partner to staying consistent in dog training is observing a routine and really sticking to it. Set aside dedicated times for training sessions and follow your schedule regularly. Regularity helps your dog understand that training is a consistent part of their daily life. DOG CALMING CODE™️: CHECK OUT THE TRAINING PROGRAM THAT WORKED FOR OVER 80,000 DOGS! #3: Use Consistent Verbal Cues and Commands Ensure that you use the same verbal cues and commands consistently. Teach your dog specific words for each behavior and use them consistently across all training sessions. #4: Reinforce Positive Behavior Consistently Reward your dog consistently for displaying the desired behaviors. This can be in the form of treats, pats and cuddles, or playtime. Consistent positive reinforcement strengthens the association between the behavior and the reward. #5: Stay Calm and Patient Consistency requires a calm and patient demeanor. Avoid getting frustrated or angry during training sessions. Dogs respond better to a positive and patient approach, which fosters a trusting and conducive learning environment. 6 Seemingly Harmless Factors That Make Dog Training Fail and What To Do Instead “But Doggy Dan, I didn't know what I was doing was hurting my dog's progress in training. I had all the good intentions.” Honestly, I absolutely never judge dog owners who are unconsciously doing things that are actually harmful to proper dog training. However, I always remind them to catch these habits early on to make dog training successful. Here are a few examples. #1: Letting Your Dog Lead The Way A successful dog trainer knows that they have to be a leader in the eyes of their dogs. Your dog has to know that you call the shots, you lead the way, you set the routine. Dogs are quick learners — they'll immediately catch on. In fact, they catch on so fast that when you allow your dog to dictate the training process, it can significantly stall your training. When your dog leads the way, it can result to confusion and inconsistency. What To Do Instead: Take on the role of a leader by setting clear expectations, providing guidance, and being proactive in shaping your dog's behavior. My program, the Dog Calming Code™, can help you take the steps in becoming the leader in your dog's eyes. All you need to do is change a few of the everyday things you are already doing with your dog. By so doing, this which will change how they see you in terms of leadership and who is actually in charge! PUPPY COACH™️: TRAIN PUPPIES TO BE CALMER, MORE WELL BEHAVED DOGS. The leadership training will show you: the best approach to controlling your dog's food how to control any danger in and around the home the right way to respond to your dog when you return home what to do to take charge of the walk. Giving In to Your Dog Let's be honest — our dogs are adorable! Their puppy eyes can easily win us! But let me tell you this: don't let the puppy eyes win! Yielding to your dog's demands or allowing them to get away with undesirable behaviors undermines the training process. A habit of simply giving treats freely or giving them cuddles even after a rowdy episode can affect dog training negatively. What to Do Instead Establish and enforce consistent boundaries, rewarding only the desired behaviors and redirecting or ignoring unwanted ones. Showing Impatience I always tell this to new and veteran dog trainers: patience is a powerful partner. Our dogs can catch even the slightest sign of impatience which could make them lose confidence in us. Also, our impatience can result to relationship issues that can make dog training more difficult. What to Do Instead Impatience can hinder progress and frustrate both you and your dog. Instead, practice patience and understand that training takes time. Break down tasks into manageable steps and celebrate small victories along the way. TRAINING PUPPIES? THE PUPPY COACH™️ PROGRAM FROM DOGGY DAN CAN HELP YOU! Comparing One Dog to Another Each dog is unique and learns at their own pace. Comparing your dog's progress to others can create unrealistic expectations and discourage you. What to Do Instead Instead, focus on your dog's individual progress and celebrate their achievements based on their own abilities. Not Giving/Forgetting to Give Rewards Consistent reinforcement is crucial for effective training. Dogs understand good and bad behavior better with rewards. Forgetting to reward or withholding rewards can demotivate your dog. Even while progressing, they can ask “Am I really doing things right?” What to Do Instead Never underestimate positive reinforcement using treats, praise and affection. Positive reinforcement will be more effective when you reward good behavior promptly with treats, praise, or play to reinforce your dog's learning. DISCOVER HOW YOU CAN LESSEN DOG STRESS AND ANXIETY WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE™️! How to Make Dog Training Successful: Questions to Ask When Dog Training Doesn't Seem to Work Question #1: Have You Established Leadership Between You and Your Dog? Establishing leadership between you and your dog is paramount for successful training. Dogs are pack animals, and they instinctively look for a leader to follow. Without clear leadership, training can become challenging and less effective. Leadership is not about being harsh or dominating; it's about earning your dog's respect through fair and confident interactions. Show calm assertiveness, provide clear direction, and reward positive behavior to reinforce your role as the leader. And always, always, make sure you doing the foundational work of implementing the rules of the Dog Calming Code™. This is what your dog will see and respond to almost instantly and hand over the leadership reigns to you. You must control the food, and show them you control what is danger and what is not. It is your role to show them that you only do things on your terms, not on theirs, and you show them you control the walk. LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DOG TRAINING PROGRAM THAT CHANGED TRAINING FOR MORE THAN 80,000 DOG OWNERS Question #2: Have You Been Training Your Dog Inconsistently? Consistency is crucial for successful training. Instead of training sporadically, try to work on your dog's established behaviors randomly and regularly throughout the day. Question #3: Do You Find Yourself Repeating Commands Over and Over Again? Once you are confident that your dog understands a command, avoid repeating it excessively. If your dog ignores you, it could be due to incorrect training, distractions, or a rebellious attitude. In such cases, take your dog to a quiet place and attempt the command again. If there's still no response, go back to basics and retrain the behavior. Also tap into the power of timeouts. Giving dog timeouts can effectively communicate what you truly expect from your dog. In my previous blog, I wrote about timeouts and how to really make it work. Don't forget to check it out. CALMER DOGS START WITH THE RIGHT TRAINING. START WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE. Question #4: Are Your Training Sessions Too Long or Too Short? It's important to find the right balance in training session duration. Sessions should typically last around 20 minutes to maintain your dog's focus. If your dog appears bored, consider shortening the session and concluding it on a positive note. Question #5: Have You Exposed Your Dog To Different Training Environments? Starting in a safe and enclosed area is recommended, but as your training progresses, it's beneficial to expose your dog to various environments, such as different locations, people, and animals. This helps your dog become more responsive in diverse and busy situations. Question #6: Are You Relying Too Heavily on Treats and Not Enough on Praise and Esteem? Treats are helpful for teaching new behaviors. However, once your dog understands the behavior, start substituting treats with praise, play, or other forms of positive reinforcement that your dog enjoys. Question #7: Do You Display Emotional Consistency During Training Sessions? Training with force, anger, or irritation can intimidate your dog and create a negative training environment. On the other hand, training with excessive energy, high-pitched excitement, and forced elation can also hinder learning. Aim for a calm, kind, and confident approach to achieve the best results. LEARN THE FOUNDATIONS OF SUCCESSFUL DOG TRAINING WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE Question #8: Are You Tailoring Your Training to Accommodate Your Dog's Quirks and Personality? Just like human children, dogs have unique personalities and quirks that affect their learning styles. Take into account your dog's personality, age, size, breed, energy level, and history when designing your training strategy. Adapt your approach to meet your dog's specific needs, whether it requires building confidence in a shy dog or providing structure for an energetic, boisterous dog. How to Make Dog Training Successful: When to Ask Professional Help An effective and successful dog training strategy almost always includes a dog trainer or take an online program about dog training! Let's talk about the factors that tell you “It's time to get professional help!” Factor #1: Lack of Progress or Frustration If you've been consistently working on training your dog but haven't seen any significant progress or are feeling frustrated, it may be time to seek the help of a professional dog trainer. They can provide guidance, expertise, and fresh perspectives to overcome training challenges. Factor #2: Behavior Issues If your dog displays persistent behavior problems such as aggression, excessive barking, separation anxiety, or destructive behaviors, a dog trainer can help address these issues. They can assess the root causes, develop behavior modification plans, and provide effective strategies to manage and modify problematic behaviors. CALMER PUPPIES, WELL-BEHAVED DOGS: START TRAINING THE RIGHT WAY WITH THE PUPPY COACH™️ Factor #3: Inconsistent Obedience If your dog consistently ignores commands, has difficulty following instructions, or only responds sporadically, guidance from a dog trainer (or from their online program) can assist in improving their obedience. They can teach you effective communication techniques and implement training methods that encourage consistent responses from your dog. Factor #4: Socialization Challenges If your dog exhibits fear or aggression towards other dogs, animals, or people, proper socialization becomes crucial. A dog trainer or online training program can guide you in desensitizing and counterconditioning your dog. It can help them become more comfortable and confident in various social situations. Factor #5: Specific Training Goals If you are wondering how to make dog training successful, a guidance from a professional dog trainer can help. A dog trainer (or an online training program from one) can provide targeted instruction and guidance. They can help you and your dog reach your goals effectively and efficiently. Factor #6: New Dog Owner If you're a first-time dog owner, a dog trainer's help can be immensely beneficial. With their help, you will begin to understand basic obedience, house training, and even your dog's behavior. They can equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to establish a strong foundation for a well-behaved and happy canine companion. Factor #7: Personal Circumstances If your personal circumstances — such as a demanding schedule, physical limitations, or health concerns — prevent you from dedicating sufficient time and effort to training, a dog trainer can step in to support you. A professional perspective (and experience!) can make dog training successful by providing guidance, and assistance to ensure your dog receives the necessary training and care.

You can revisit specific modules or lessons, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the training concepts. How To Make Dog Training Successful: Have a Clear Goal, and a Clearer, Consistent Message In the world of dog training, the answer to “How to make dog training successful?” lies in having a clear goal and a consistently communicated message. As you embark on this training adventure with your furry companion, remember to stay focused, be patient, and maintain a consistent approach. Celebrate the small victories along the way and never lose sight of your ultimate goal. By having a clear goal and a clearer, consistent message, you are not just training your dog. You are also building a lifelong bond based on trust, understanding, and effective communication. Embrace the power of a clear goal and a consistent message, and let the journey of successful dog training begin. The possibilities are endless, and — with consistency in your message and routine — you're one step closer to success.   ~ Doggy Dan

I am one Self, united with my Creator. Today's idea accurately describes you as God created you. You are one within yourself, and one with Him. Yours is the unity of all creation. Your perfect unity makes change in you impossible. You do not accept this, and you fail to realize it must be so, only because you believe that you have changed yourself already. You see yourself as a ridiculous parody on God's creation; weak, vicious, ugly and sinful, miserable and beset with pain. Such is your version of yourself; a self divided into many warring parts, separate from God, and tenuously held together by its erratic and capricious maker, to which you pray. It does not hear your prayers, for it is deaf. It does not see the oneness in you, for it is blind. It does not understand you are the Son of God, for it is senseless and understands nothing. We will attempt today to be aware only of what can hear and see, and what makes perfect sense. We will again direct our exercises towards reaching your one Self, Which is united with Its Creator. In patience and in hope we try again today. The use of the first five minutes of every waking hour for practicing the idea for the day has special advantages at the stage of learning in which you are at present. It is difficult at this point not to allow your mind to wander, if it undertakes extended practice. You have surely realized this by now. You have seen the extent of your lack of mental discipline, and of your need for mind training. It is necessary that you be aware of this, for it is indeed a hindrance to your advance. Frequent but shorter practice periods have other advantages for you at this time. In addition to recognizing your difficulties with sustained attention, you must also have noticed that, unless you are reminded of your purpose frequently, you tend to forget about it for long periods of time. You often fail to remember the short applications of the idea for the day, and you have not yet formed the habit of using the idea as an automatic response to temptation. Structure, then, is necessary for you at this time, planned to include frequent reminders of your goal and regular attempts to reach it. Regularity in terms of time is not the ideal requirement for the most beneficial form of practice in salvation. It is advantageous, however, for those whose motivation is inconsistent, and who remain heavily defended against learning. We will, therefore, keep to the five-minutes-an-hour practice periods for a while, and urge you to omit as few as possible. Using the first five minutes of the hour will be particularly helpful, since it imposes firmer structure. Do not, however, use your lapses from this schedule as an excuse not to return to it again as soon as you can. There may well be a temptation to regard the day as lost because you have already failed to do what is required. This should, however, merely be recognized as what it is; a refusal to let your mistake be corrected, and an unwillingness to try again. The Holy Spirit is not delayed in His teaching by your mistakes. He can be held back only by your unwillingness to let them go. Let us therefore be determined, particularly for the next week or so, to be willing to forgive ourselves for our lapses in diligence, and our failures to follow the instructions for practicing the day's idea. This tolerance for weakness will enable us to overlook it, rather than give it power to delay our learning. If we give it power to do this, we are regarding it as strength, and are confusing strength with weakness. When you fail to comply with the requirements of this course, you have merely made a mistake. This calls for correction, and for nothing else. To allow a mistake to continue is to make additional mistakes, based on the first and reinforcing it. It is this process that must be laid aside, for it is but another way in which you would defend illusions against the truth. Let all these errors go by recognizing them for what they are. They are attempts to keep you unaware you are one Self, united with your Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in power and in peace. This is the truth, and nothing else is true. Today we will affirm this truth again, and try to reach the place in you in which there is no doubt that only this is true. Begin the practice periods today with this assurance, offered to your mind with all the certainty that you can give: I am one Self, united with my Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in power and in peace. Then close your eyes and tell yourself again, slowly and thoughtfully, attempting to allow the meaning of the words to sink into your mind, replacing false ideas: I am one Self. Repeat this several times, and then attempt to feel the meaning that the words convey. You are one Self, united and secure in light and joy and peace. You are God's Son, one Self, with one Creator and one goal; to bring awareness of this oneness to all minds, that true creation may extend the Allness and the Unity of God. You are one Self, complete and healed and whole, with power to lift the veil of darkness from the world, and let the light in you come through to teach the world the truth about yourself. You are one Self, in perfect harmony with all there is, and all that there will be. You are one Self, the holy Son of God, united with your brothers in that Self; united with your Father in His Will. Feel this one Self in you, and let It shine away all your illusions and your doubts. This is your Self, the Son of God Himself, sinless as Its Creator, with His strength within you and His Love forever yours. You are one Self, and it is given you to feel this Self within you, and to cast all your illusions out of the one Mind that is this Self, the holy truth in you. Do not forget today. We need your help; your little part in bringing happiness to all the world. And Heaven looks to you in confidence that you will try today. Share, then, its surety, for it is yours. Be vigilant. Do not forget today. Throughout the day do not forget your goal. Repeat today's idea as frequently as possible, and understand each time you do so, someone hears the voice of hope, the stirring of the truth within his mind, the gentle rustling of the wings of peace. Your own acknowledgment you are one Self, united with your Father, is a call to all the world to be at one with you. To everyone you meet today, be sure to give the promise of today's idea and tell him this: You are one Self with me, united with our Creator in this Self. I honor you because of What I am, and What He is, Who loves us both as one.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 95
