Hello Beautiful People! This month we are still in the countdown to the end of the lockdown and would like to inspire some great things to do to embrace life and stay positive and focused. We researched a list of things to do during lockdown and ongoing improvement of our mindset, health and income. Please let us stand together in helping and protecting those with compromised economical situations and immune systems and do so with magnanimous equanimity. This too shall pass. Let’s stay positive, helpful, and a part of the solution. It is the perfect time to do Random Acts Of Kindness to yourself and others. As always, we celebrate some of the excellence of the innovative and resourceful endeavours of South Africans who set a positive tone for our beloved rainbow nation. With or without total freedom of movement, we rock on! For Comic Relief – Look at some of the funniest Covid Masks and Corona Virus Outfits and then let's move on to some interesting things to live for.
Instead of giving in to the discombobulation of this period, let's embrace the lion within!
Calm, Playful, Powerful. You can read the full newsletter online, page through this digital magazine, click and read or print the PDF. Thank you so much to all who print this out as infotainment for their friends, visitors & guests! I receive Very interesting feedback from all over the world!
Let’s Do Random Acts Of Kindness Please seek out opportunities to help or to make someone feel good every day. Often a random smile alone can become a forever feel-good memory. Do things like holding open a door, offer assistance or do any random act of kindness. Every small interaction with someone is an opportunity to make a difference and to have a positive impact on both of your lives. Please scroll down and click around until a charity speaks to your heart … then, do a random act of kindness by volunteering or donating. Operation hunger – help feed a family.

Ways to help your brain to help you.
Be aware of your breathing. Focusing on deep and slow breathing calms the stress responses as the brain receives the signal that you are not in an immediate life-threatening situation.
●
Practice Gratitude. Counting your blessings has a physiological effect on your brain. The secretion of feel good hormones enables the brain to relax the stress responses and constant Adrenaline secretion which causes discord in all the systems of the body.

We are mostly wired and pre-programmed for worst case scenarios as it is the job of our Egotistical thinking to keep us alive and safe from bad luck, ridicule, hunger, poverty etc. Thus, it is constantly scanning our inner and outer environment for possible danger, misfortune and warnings.
blood flow and enhances the provision of Oxygen for clear thinking. ●
To balance that, we have the innate ability to control our minds by becoming aware that thoughts are just thoughts. The brain does not know the difference between a real threat and a thought about a possible threat or between our perception of what someone thinks of us and what they actually think of us. It responds with the same stress hormone secretions.

Boost your immune system Eat healthy, fresh, whole food, sleep enough, exercise, meditate, calm yourself with slow, deep breathing, drink water, think nice thoughts and be grateful for small things. The body is a highly intelligent 'machine' that takes care of itself if you take care of it. Your body is full of trillions of friendly bacteria, viruses and fungi. They are collectively known as the microbiome and directly linked to your immune system, health and vitality. High stress levels, too little sleep, eating processed foods and taking antibiotics can all damage our gut microbiome. This affects many other aspects of our health, such as the brain, heart, immune system, skin, weight, hormone levels, ability to absorb nutrients and even the development of cancer. You have more bacteria in your body than you have cells. Most are good for you. The ones found in your gut, not only help you digest food, they work all over your body and can be good for your physical and mental health.
The healthiest, fastest and cheapest way to grow a healthier gut microbiome is to ferment your own fresh fruit and vegetables. Especially if you grow it yourself. After fermented food, which improves nutrition, raw food still has way more nutrients than any cooking method renders.
