6 Simple Yoga Stretches for Daily De-Stressing :: Tips :: The 99 Percent
We have a tradition at the Behance office called the “four o’clock stretch,” where we step away from our desks to do a few simple stretches and recharge. When energy is waning mid-afternoon, it’s pretty incredible how a little deep breathing and muscle movement can completely re-invent your mood. Below are a few of my favorite “office-friendly stretches.” 1. There is no aspect of relaxation more important than breathing. To begin square breathing, sit in a comfortable, upright position on the floor or in a chair. Repeat 10 times, going at your own pace: Inhale 2, 3, 4. 2. Interlace your fingers, and raise your arms above your head, with your palms facing upwards. 3. Stand with your feet hip-distance apart. Once you have the arm wrap going, look straight ahead and try to keep your elbows lifted. Unwrap your arms and hold them out to the side again. 4. Still standing with your feet hip-distance apart, reach your hands behind you, clasping them together in a fist at the base of your back.

If you want evidence of the plan's effectiveness, look no further than the woman on these pages, Christiane. 1 Eat fat I'm talking about good fat, the sort found in nuts, avocados, oily fish and oils. 2 Take a bath Lots of my model clients take an Epsom salts bath just before a bikini photo shoot. 3 Spring-clean your insides The ideal ratio of bacteria in a healthy human gut is 85 per cent friendly to 15 per cent harmful. Drink filtered water rather than the chlorinated water that comes out of your tap.Eat organic meat. 4 Don’t overcook it If you overcook food, you’ll kill off or reduce the number of nutrients it contains. 5 Beware of gluten Foods that contain gluten can weaken your abdominal wall and make it slack, resulting in a protruding stomach. 6 Sleep it off In the hour or two before bed, turn off your laptop, TV and mobile phone, and keep your lights low. 7 Eat flat-tummy foods 8 Don’t be a screenager
Banana Split Bites
Banana Split Bites ~ A classic ice cream dessert gets mini for some bite size fun. And yes, there is actually a tiny scoop of ice cream tucked inside and underneath the whip cream of those little darlings. Banana Split Mini Bites For once I made something mini for portion control and not just for the cute factor. Keeping all things in mind what I served is what you see here. Here’s what wasn’t a hit and what I learned. Impromptu play dates with four kid’s ages 3-5 year olds after a full work day –not a good idea.Know in advance what other kids will and won’t eat. Luckily, dessert made all things right. No recipe just a few notes: Use firm bananas and cut into 1 inch sections. Leave a Comment
Gregorian Bivolaru - Karma Yoga
Translation from Romanian: Rodica Harabagiu Final correction of text: NATHA,Copenhagen, 1999 Motto: "In a state of detachment perform what has to be done, no matter what it is, and never wish to assume the fruits of your doings." Karma Yoga represents one of the four main classic forms of Yoga. Karma Yoga represents a starting point and is an essential part of the teachings of Bhagavad Gita, this serves as sufficient ground for its authenticity. Like all other forms of Yoga, the main and final purpose of Karma Yoga is to facilitate and accelerate the spiritual evolution of its persistent practitioner. The main difference from other forms of Yoga is that Karma Yoga can be practised well from the very beginning, and can be applied all the time, all day long, because it is applicable to all human activities. I should also emphasise that the practice of Karma Yoga does not exclude the simultaneous practice of one or more of the other forms of Yoga, but will amplify their efficiency.

Disclaimer: I have no regard whatsoever for my grammar in this post. Do not attack my grammar as opposed to my comment because as a former debater that will just piss me off and make you look stupid. Firstly, I’d like to say that some of the people are right, youth now seem not to give two shits about education and yes the education system in the US have drastically dropped in efficiency. But let’s be real, this isn’t anything new, there is a general culture of anti-intellectualism in our country among ALL US citizens, not just the youth. Of course, it would be a sweeping generalization to say that most of the people in our country are unintelligent fucks, but let’s not criticize to the youth while half the politicians are hanging on to their common sense by a string. And how can you really blame kids for not caring about their education when the majority of them are put aside or ignored. And in a buisness world, what’s more valuable to know?
