7 Apps For A Better Life
It’s been years since our cellphones could only make phone calls and send text messages, so why not use them to make your life better? Improve your alertness, vitality and fitness, and even get rid of mosquitos. These 7 apps will turn your smartphone into a powerful tool to better your life. All of these apps are free, so download whichever one you want and see the difference it makes in your life.
1. SleepBot – Wake Up When You’re Ready
Alarm clocks have an uncanny ability to catch you in the middle of a dream, but with SleepBot, you can make sure that you wake up at a time that’s good for your body. The app can also give you data about the length and quality of your sleep. All you need to
do is set up a 30-minutes time frame in which you’d like to wake up, place the phone at the side of the bed with the app running, and let the app analyze your sleep by using the phone’s motion detection ability. Just remember to plug your phone in for the night, as the app may drain weaker batteries.
2. Anti Mosquito – Repel Mosquitos with Your Phone
Summer brings with it mosquitos, which means itchy bites. But instead of using chemicals or zappers, you can just install an app on your phone. These apps use high-frequency sounds that the human ear can’t pick up, but mosquitos can’t stand. For maximum effect, hook up the smartphone to loudspeakers.

hikes and prolonged exposure to the sun (at the beach, for example). You can install it on your kids’ phones and keep track of how much water they drink.

This app is very useful in measuring the amount of steps you take in a day. It can differentiate between walking, running, and cycling. At the end of the day,Moves will tell you how many calories you’ve burnt and how far you’ve walked. The app lets you set yourself new challenges every day, and lets you know if you’ve reached your goal.

生活禪 關於我們的“心”態 禪是什麼? 它是古代印度梵文“禪那”(Dhyana)的略稱，是梵文的音譯,意譯 則可以理解為關於“修心”的學問. 禪說:心態決定成敗. 感恩 憤怒 愉快 悔恨 其實,中國的文字就告訴了我們“心”之功能， 所以禪說“萬法由 心生”，一切全在人的心態。
要疊一百萬張骨牌,需費時一個月;但倒骨牌卻只需十幾秒鐘.要累 積成功的事業,需耗時數十載;但要倒閉,卻只需我們心中一個念頭. 要修養成被尊敬的人格,需經過長時間的努力,但要人格破產卻只 需要一個錯誤的心念 所以禪告誡世人心術要正. 心是什麼東西呢? 無法控制的情緒. 不經理智判斷的決策.
消極的心境. 狹隘的心胸. . . 檢查一下，我們有這樣的心態嗎？ 人與人之間只有很小的差異，這個差異就是心態。心態卻導致 人生驚人的不同。
禪是一顆包容的心： 古代一位道行很深的禪師帶了一些弟子在寺院裏修禪。一天晚 上，老禪師出去散步，發現院子後邊的圍牆邊有一張凳子。他 知道又有弟子偷偷翻牆出去玩了。 禪師移開了凳子，自己蹲在那裏。 不久，果然有位小和尚翻牆進來了，恰好踩在老禪師的背上。
正當小和尚驚慌失措之際，老禪師卻和顏悅色地說：“夜深天涼， 快去多穿一件衣裳吧！”
禪是一顆學會放下的心： 有一位叫黑指的信徒，雙手拿著兩個花瓶，前去參見佛祖。 佛祖見到他後，說了一句“放下”。黑指連忙把左手的花瓶放下； 佛祖又說“放下”，黑指又把右手的花瓶放下了。佛祖仍然說“放 下”。黑指不解地問：“我已經把兩個花瓶都放下了，我現在兩
手空空，還要放下什麼呢？” 禪是一顆不後悔永遠向前看的心： 有一個人帶著一些瓶子上街去，其中一隻掉到地上，“叭”一聲 摔得粉碎。這個人頭也不回，照樣走他的路。
旁人覺得奇怪，問他為什麼聽到瓶子摔碎了頭也不回一下。 他答道：“瓶已摔碎，顧之何益？還不如思量如何不打碎第二隻 瓶子。”
禪是一顆永遠積極的心： 在艾森豪小時候，一次與他母親及兄弟姐妹們一起玩牌。有一
陣子，艾森豪抓到的牌很差，於是他抱怨不已。這時，他母親
異常嚴肅地說道：“你要懂得打牌的意義在於永遠有一個積極的
心態。你手中的牌不論好壞，都要接受它，然後竭盡全力地打。 ”
也許您目前還業績平平 也許您的成功看似遙遙無期 也許您的一份感情尚未找到歸宿 我能行!
這裏有兩則關於生活禪的寓言，讓我們一起來細細品味吧: 1/小鬧鐘的故事 2/找尋缺失了的角
小鬧鐘的啟示 一隻新組裝好的小鐘放在了兩隻舊鐘當中。兩隻舊鐘“滴答”、“ 滴答”一分一秒地走著。
其中一隻舊鐘對新夥伴說：“來吧，你也該工作了。不過，我很 擔心，當你知道一年要擺三千二百萬次以後，恐怕你就吃不消 了”。
“天哪，三千二百萬次，我做不到！” 另外一隻小鬧鐘卻安慰它說：“不要聽它瞎說，很簡單，你只要 每秒鐘擺一下即可.” “天下哪有這樣簡單的事情。”小鐘將信將疑。“如果這樣，我 就試試吧。” 小鐘很輕鬆地每秒鐘“滴答”擺一下。不知不覺中，一年過去了，
它輕鬆地擺了三千二百萬次。 每個人都希望夢想成真。但是，如果沒有一個積極努力的心態， 成功就永遠遙不可及，倦怠和不自信讓我們懷疑自己的能力， 從而放棄了努力。就像那只小鬧鐘一樣，每秒“滴答”擺一下，
每一天很充實，實現目標很自然，最終的結果很不平凡。成功 的喜悅就會慢慢浸潤我們的生命。 所以,禪說: 精進度懈怠. 小鬧鐘的故事還告訴我們一則禪理:百忍成金. 有時候成功的道理很簡單:忍. 我們每天有許多事要做。我們還必須接受如下的事實:做這些事 往往是很單調的.
找尋缺失了的角 缺只角的它動身去找那缺失的一角。 它唱著歌，翻過山、越過河…… 因為缺了一角，它不能走得很快
它反而能追逐、嬉戲、賞花...... 一天，它終於找到了一角 可是太小…… 這個太方、這個太尖、這個太大 它遇到許多危險. 撞上石牆、跌入深谷 真辛苦 抓得太牢,這角又碎了 沒有抓牢,這角掉了 終於找到了那一角 很合適！ 但是它卻飛快地轉動起來，從此不能…… 追逐、嬉戲、賞花...... 它想，這裏也許有些道理一開始自己沒有想明白…… 終於，它放下了那一角!
在這個五彩繽紛、欲望多多、追求完美的社會裏，我們常禁不 住羨慕別人光鮮華麗的外表，而對自己的欠缺耿耿於懷。 禪說:不要追求完美. 每個人的生命都會有些缺憾，你是否有必要力求完美？若沒有 挫折，我們會驕傲;沒有滄桑，我們不會以同理心去關愛不幸的 人。
人生不可能太圓滿，有個缺口也非壞事。缺失的那一部分，雖 不可愛，卻也是你生命的一部分，接受它且善待它，你的人生 會快樂豁達許多。
因此,你無需再去與人作無謂的比較，珍惜自己所擁有的一切。 不要再去羨慕別人如何如何，好好珍惜自己所擁有的一切，你 會發現你所擁有的絕對比沒有的要多出許多.
禪說:不要有比較心. 禪說:境由心造.
由衷地希望你意識到: 心態與我們的生活和事業 至關重要.
你不能決定生命的長度，但你可以擴展它的寬度; 你不能改變天生的容貌，但你可以時時展現笑容; 你不能企望控制他人，但你可以好好掌握自己; 你不能全然預知明天，但你可以充分利用今天; 你不能要求事事順利，但你可以做到事事開心. 謹祝你的生活因充滿禪趣而美麗!
Foods that Help and Foods that Disrupt Sleep
Night time is a very tempting time to eat. We often get little cravings and feel like having a little snack or a small meal between dinner and brushing out teeth. In essence, there is nothing wrong with eating a small something before going to bed, but in so doing, it pays to know what we should and what we shouldn't eat to get a good night's sleep.
Foods that help you sleep: Cherries Cherries are some of the only foods naturally containing the chemical melatonin, which is responsible for configuring our 'internal clock'. A study has found that adults suffering from insomnia and drank cherry juice before bed reported a marked improvement in the quality and length of their sleep time.
Jasmine Rice
Although rice has a high glycemic value, the body slowly digests it, slowly releasing glucose into the bloodstream. This prevents a sugar spike that can destroy your sleep. Researchers have found that eating rice a few hours before going to bed lowered the amount of time it takes to fall asleep by half.
Enriched Cereals
As a rule, carbs are a pretty good food option before going to sleep, but a box of cookies before bed isn't recommended. Instead, try a bowl of cereal with complex carbohydrates. If you make a habit of eating cereal with milk, you're twice the winner, because milk is also considered a food that promotes good sleep. Quinoa, buckwheat and barley are also recommended carbs to eat before going to bed. Bananas
Bananas are rich in magnesium and potassium, minerals known to be muscle relaxants. They are also a good source of carbs, which, as we've mentioned, promote a better quality of sleep. If you choose to eat a banana you also earn a few more healthy advantages, such as helping your heart and blood vessels, as well as your cognitive functioning.
Turkey
Turkey meat contains an essential amino acid called tryptophan, which is one of the most powerful materials your body uses to get you to sleep. That's why you always feel like napping after eating a good amount of turkey.
Sweet Potato
Like the banana, so does the sweet potato contains carbs combined with potassium that relaxes your muscles. As a food belonging to the orange family, sweet potatoes also contains carotenoids and powerful antioxidants that will promote your general health.
Valerian Root Tea
The root of the valerian plant has been proven by several studies to be a high-quality sleep promoter, shortening the length of time it takes to fall asleep. You can drink the mixture with chamomile, a plant known to relax the body as well.
Important: Only drink chamomile or valerian root tea without caffeine. Foods you should avoid before sleep:
Hamburger
The large amount of fat found in hamburgers is a known 'sleep killer'. The fat encourages the stomach to pump more acid out, which can cause heartburn. Of course, these heartburns may really get in the way of falling asleep, not to mention the stomach needs to work extra hours to digest this heavy meal, which will also harm the quality of your sleep.
Alcohol
Although it may put us to sleep faster, all types of alcohol go through a fast metabolic process in our digestive system, causing us to wake up several times during the night, even if we don't remember it the next day. A study has found that women who drank alcohol before going to
sleep were up 15 minutes more (in little mini-breaks) in the middle of the night, as well as sleeping 20 minutes less than average. That may not sound like a lot, but the study found that the quality of the sleep is damaged. In addition, alcohol may cause snoring, causing disruptions in your sleep as well as your spouse's.
Coffee
I bet you knew this one already. Coffee is meant to wake us up in the morning. It doesn't actually make us more alert, it works as an antagonist to sleep hormones, and so is, of course, one of the worst things you can put in your body in the hours before you go to bed. Of course, people have a radically different reaction to caffeine, and so the length of time you should keep between drinking coffee and going to sleep may change from person to person.
Chocolate
Other than the vast amounts of sugar, causing your blood sugar levels to spike, chocolate also contains caffeine and is considered a food that keeps you awake. Chocolate also contains a substance called theobromine, which can elevate the heart rate and interfere with our sleep.
Spice is not nice
Any spicy food will detract from the quality of our sleep. A recent Australian study found that men who consumed tabasco sauce or mustard before sleep had trouble falling asleep as well as experiencing a low quality of sleep. Hot food can also cause heartburn, which, as we've explained, is terrible for a good night's sleep.
