How To Deal with Tinnitus
For the past twenty years or so, I have suffered from Tinnitus. This constant ringing in my right ear is part of my day. I can hear it when I wake up and it does not stop until I am sound asleep at night. Just trying to get to sleep is a great feat because of it.

Spirituality
The world is filled with so many different religions and they all claim to be the only path to save your soul. Just the mere thought of that is very intimidating. Trying to choose which path is the one for our spiritual salvation is even scarier. The simple choices we face in our everyday lives, such as trying to find something to eat can be extremely complicated. To simplify it for ourselves we ask a series of questions, “do I want fast food, pizza, or should I cook at home?” When we struggle with a choice so simple such a food, why would choosing a religion be simple? We don’t have the same simple questions to ask ourselves because each religion varies tremendously. With all of that being said. You should take some comfort that you are not alone. There are millions of people who have no idea where to place their faith.

Autism Does Not a Killer Make
In a million years, I did not think I would have to start another bloggy message about mental health, other than Autism information. Yet, here I am. Why? Because we have had another shooting. Worse yet, a school shooting. The politicians are asking for gun control. The students, God bless them, want gun control. Those who are connecting the dots in all these horrible crimes, however, are seeing another issue, mental health.

It is also rich in antioxidants and associated with a number of health benefits, including a stronger heart.

The Scale Doesn't Tell the Whole Story
As a certified personal trainer, I encounter a lot of people who are just beginning their fitness journeys. Before we begin any sort of training, I ask questions about each person's health history, current eating habits, activity level, and goals.

All Natural Food Finds
NatureBox - With the world full of gimmicks, it's nice to find a company that is gimmick free. Plain and simple - $19.95 per month for 5 bags of all natural snacks. You might think... that's $4 per bag, how is that inexpensive? Well, being someone who buys all natural snacks all the time I can tell you that the variety that they give you is NOT what you will find in your local store, and it comes to you with no additional costs (like shipping - it's always free). If you need a bigger box you can get them, and if you want to add on an extra bag or two, you can do that also.

A Message for the Compulsive Daydreamers
I suffered a fairly influential concussion two years ago. I say influential, because I am unaware of the physical severity of it, although I am told that in the emergency room they thought, for at least a moment, that they might need to drill a hole in my skull, to drain the blood. Not exactly indicative of the bruising, but it says something, anyways.

My Future With T1D
So, recap of the last note, I was diagnosed with Type one Diabetes (T1D). I went to Hawaii, had a blast, and took good care of myself. I took care of myself and kept up with everything for the rest of this and next school year and graduated high school. That's when it all went downhill.

The Story of Mikao Usui – The Founder of Reiki Healing System
Some people may have only recently heard about energy healing and Reiki because of its growing popularity. Not many realise that Reiki energy has been around for at least thousands of years. In fact, some believe that it has been around since the beginning of time. However, it was a Japanese Buddhist priest named Mikao Usui who discovered Reiki in his search for the purpose of life and enlightenment.

My Wake Up Call with T1D
So I'm now moved into my new apartment with my childhood best friend, that I swore never to move in with, how crazy. This is where the story gets motivational, I had stopped taking my medicine almost completely. I felt horrible all the time, but I was making good money at McDonalds. That was starting to get too much as well.
