THAT SLUGGISH FEELING

Do you or have you ever felt sluggish? Tired, not wanting to get out of bed? Looking at your watch at work wanting the time to go by faster? Is it hard to get off the couch and easier to sit there hour after hour with the television remote glued to your hand? Do you ever feel run down, sick, just totally done with life? Well, sad to say, many people have. Some have even felt a bit of depression and laziness. But, there is a reason and an answer, a cure for the blahs. SLEEP, NUTRITION and EXERCISE. What’s more, even a change of mind.

Without a healthy, balanced meal your body can get tired from lack of nutrients that it needs. Cutting out soda’s and other not so healthy drinks and replacing them with water can be a tremendous help on your kidney’s and overall health. Regular exercise, at least an hour a day, promotes positive blood flow and fitness. It also helps to maintain good, regular plumbing 🙂 8 hours of sleep per night is ideal, 7 hours is good, to give the body the rest that it needs for longevity. Thinking positively and never letting negative thoughts run crazy in your mind helps to minimize depression and keeps a smile on your face. Also keeps organs in our bodies from being stressed to the point of failure.

So, it you are tired, rundown, depressed and just done with life, get some sleep. Eat wholesome, healthy foods. Drink lots of water. Get out of the house and walk, jog or run. Get into some activities that will allow you to move that body. Don’t stress out about anything. Don’t worry about anything. Take it a day at a time, and smile…a lot.

今日の気持ち

間違いを認め、その事実を受け入れるのはとても難しいです。
一生懸命していたはずなのに、目的を見誤ったり…空回りしていたり…
わたしが一番ショックなのは、患者さんのことを思いながら行っていたはずのことが、自分よがりになってしまっていたという事実を知ることです。
そういうとき、自分で気付くことはほとんどなく、人から指摘され気付かされることが多いです。

わたしはまず、人から指摘されてハッとしてすごく自分を恥じます。
そして次に頭の中であれやこれやと言い訳を考えてしまいます。
指摘してくれた相手を心の中で責めることもあります。
でも、徐々に冷静になって事実を見つめます。
そうするととても不安で、情けない気持ちになります。
そんなとき、私は魔法の言葉を思い出して、受け入れる助けにします。
「私に起こる全てのことは良いこと」
(Everything that happened me is good)←以前美智子さんが英語にしてくださいました。
この言葉をぶつぶつと唱えて、
「そうだ、全てのことに意味があるんだ。あそこで間違いに気付かされたから大きな失敗を起こさずにすむんだ。
また一つ成長できるんだ。」
と言い聞かせます。

そして、間違いを指摘してくれる人はたいてい、私が落ち込んでいるのではないかと気にしてくれるような優しい人が多いです。
優しいからこそ私が大きな失敗をしないように、言いにくいことも言ってくれるのです。
だからそんな相手にとても優しく接しますし、感謝が伝わるように振る舞います。

今日も仕事でいろいろありましたが、こうやって言葉で表すことで、最後のモヤモヤも、キラキラに変わりました。

United we Stand

I normally do not prefer to share my political ideologies and beliefs online, but since I was asked to share my thoughts on Americas current situation, then it is here on NACOS Nagaya I make them available for the 1st time. I would like to state in no way to I intend to push my beliefs on any of you, nor am I attempting to persuade any you. Just a man’s opinion. Nothing more.

From my viewpoint, what is happening at the moment is there is an unseen force dividing the American people. It is not about Republicans or Democrats. What is happening is a failure to communicate and understand one another. What I see is the demonizing of a party, a creation of a scapegoat so everyone knows where to point the blame. But what I see and what i think people fail to see, is that one party is doing exactly what’s within their power, and that party doing what it’s voters requested them to do. In essesence, this country is divided in half by what it wants. Half of our people want things one way, and the other half another. It is not one party or the other holding our country, government hostage. It Us. And like a relationship gone bad between two lovers. No one is willing to compromise. I could really carry on and on about this topic. It is something i am quite passionate about and spent hours talking and debating with friends and family about it. These friends and family come from all walks of life and have developed their own beliefs. But when i share with them my thoughts we always agree that the truth is we must stop blaming each other and seriously find a way to meet a common ground, United we Stand, Divided we fall.

Baltimore Inner Harbor

Baltimore is one of two big metropolises near us. The other is Washington D.C. Like D.C., Baltimore has a long and rich history. Today, however, there are more people moving out of the city than moving in. Some parts of Baltimore, like any other big city, are pretty bad and even downright scary. I would not go to those areas at night or by myself. But other parts like the inner harbor are really nice. The Baltimore National Aquarium and a number of other museusms as well as the baseball and football stadiums are located at the inner harbor. It’s a good place to take a stroll and grab lunch or dinner. You can even do a little shopping. City officials are attempting to bring more businesses and people to Baltimore in hopes that it will restore the city to its former glory.
