Let it go.

Until you can forgive what happened in the past, you cannot live freely and joyfully in the present. Don’t waste another second of precious life imprisoned in the past; forgive and forget, or  at least forgive and move on.
 
Articulate a “taboo” or fear and then brake it. For instance, if you’ve never
gone to movies alone, try it. If you are afraid of a particular item or activity, read un a subject and then look for an opportunity to be exposed to your fear - without fearing for your safety.

 
 
          Tell You Story
 
This is BIG one for me. I have no fear to connect with anyone, no fear to lose anything. I do not hold to material possessions. I know I can get back all the things that I once loved. I will have more things
which will also love but I can easily let it go.
 
However I have few fears which
stop me from enjoying my life.
I actually call them phobias.
 
Number one. I have a fear driving on big hi ways. I have a fear of water. I can’t swim.
 
I know that both of those fears happened at the moment of serious stress and trauma.
 
I had my almost new navy blue Buick car blown out into small pieces as I was driving it on the hi way. It happened a minute I got out of it, and run away few feet.
 
First, I saw a flame while I was driving in a middle lane, in a next couple seconds, before I realized what was happening, I saw thick smog, my car engine was dead, and I got out of it. Running away from it, I remembered that I had my twelve inch toy puddle Gosha still left in my car.
Without hesitation I ran back to my car. I heard voices screaming , ” Get away!!! Get Away!!!
As I still ran toward my burning car there was no way back for me, I needed to take a risk to save my
little creature that we all loved so much. He was part of our family. There was no way I could think of myself, and my own safety at that point.
 
The smog was so thick that I had hard time to find the car door. I finally find the handle, opened it, and grabbed my dog with my purse next to it, and ran… ran… and ran. In less then thirty seconds my car blew up into hundreds of small pieces.
My dog and I were saved.

Learn to let go - what’s next?

 
It makes sense that when we’re feeling happy and peaceful, we want to hold on to happiness or peaceful state forever. But why are we so reluctant to let go of unhappy emotions?
 
Letting go doesn’t mean suppressing emotions; that’s like putting an adhesive bandage on a serious wound. Sure, you can’t see it when you cover it up, but it’s still festering underneath of bandage. And it just keeps getting worse.
  
The same is true for emotional wounds. It’s important to air negative feeling and mistakes-then
let them go so that you can heal.
 
Anger is a defense mechanism in response to a perceived danger or threat. When you are angry, try to see what’s frightening you. If someone is angry with you, try to figure out what might be frightening that person. The best thing you  can do is to show compassion.
 
People often say, “Things happen for a reason.” When something upsetting happens, think about why it happened at this particular time in your life.What have you learned or gained from this experience?

 
         Tell You Story 
 
This story, as I promised before will be about “My Garden Vase”
 
Actually, I want you to know that this story is about how many of us

grow in time by adding years and years of life experiences such as education, building careers, learning how to deal with partners and spouses, racing our children, dealing with parents, relatives, and friends… and ourselves.
 
Then comes the time, as I mentioned in my other story when many of us get down on ourselves for having wrinkles on our faces, or not having a “perfect” body.
 
In common language, this stage is called “middle age crisis.”
 
As I told you before,
 I decided to help people in those crisis by creating a project in Costa Rica. It was called “Not Just Another Hotel”
 
What that has to do with my Garden Vase story?
Well, I’ll tell you.
My business concept was based on the idea of helping people to see their own beauty coming from within. I’d  have professionals come and help people to discover their talents. I am a strong believer that everyone has a talent. 
Then we would have many different classes/workshops which would teach these individuals the skills to start up developing whatever they were passionate about. Eventually they would evolve all over again, and as I called it, they would have a “Second Life.”
It was big, and very expensive project. One of the things that happened for me that I hold very dearly to my hard, which convinced
me that it was possible, was my broken garden vase.
 
I loved this beautiful clear glass large vase.
I had purchased it while I live in Toronto. I owned this vase for several years. I planted different flowers inside of it, and it was sitting in my sun room all year round.
Of course, it had to be shipped to Costa Rica amongst all of my other stuff in the large container.
 
When I finished my Japanese rock garden, I decided to put my glass vase in there. I planted several loveliest flowers in this vase, and it seemed like it completed my garden perfectly.
 
Couple of weeks went by, one day I come out in the morning, and saw that my Garden Vase had a crack.
Well, my partner Jack said: ” I told you, this wasn’t good idea to take your glass vase to the garden, but you wouldn’t listen. Now you have to throw it to the garbage.”
 
This was that moment when I thought, “No, I am not going to throw it just because it not perfect anymore. But I am not going to keep it like that either.
This vase is going to have a “Second Life.” I had an idea what I was going to do with it.
However, I didn’t attend to it right away, and after  couple of days, I saw that large chunk of glass fell off of it.
Jack said, “Well! Now you have to get rid of it immediately! And watch out, it’s dangerous now, you can cut your fingers, you don’t need it now.”
 
“That’s it!” I said, “It’s actually perfect for what I want to do with it.”
And I got busy. It took me two weeks. When I finished Jack couldn’t believe what he saw.
I had made a brand new vase, glass combined with paper mache.
The paper mache part, which was one quarter of it, was bright yellow inside, and beautiful purple in the outside with lovely yellow and green pattern.
It was sitting in our living room, looking so very proud of itself that I couldn’t believe my own eyes.

 

It was breath taking transformation!

 

Now I had a visual prove how our lives could be transformed. All we need is to be willing to grow out of one stage of our lives to another, and recognize the importance and beauty of our experiences - good, bad and different.

 

Love you life! It’s PERFECT if you are willing to GROW.

 
Do you want to see how eating well should part of your growing too?

Learn to let go - What’s bothering you?

Learn to let go - What’s bothering you?

 
Or rather ask yourself these questions.
 
Do I get up in a morning bright and early?
Or do I drug myself out of bed?
 
Do feel full of energy and zest for life all day long? 
Or do I feel tired, especially after lunch? I feel like if I could close my eyes only for fifteen minutes.
 
What about after I come from work? I am doing all kinds of things after 8 hours at work. Suddenly it midnight, and I feel like I want to do something else, at least for another hour. But, no, I have to go to bed to have my sweet deep sleep.
 
Or I can’t do anything unless I have at least half an hour nap.
 
You got the picture.
If you don’t have sweet deep sleep, you would be tired all day. It’s that simple.
 
Yet, so many people struggle with sleep.
 
Here is some tips for a better night sleep.
  • Go to bed at a regular time each night and set up your alarm for the same time every morning to establish a regular sleep schedule.
  • Avoid coffee, tea, coke, cocoa  before bed.
  •  Eat dinner three to four hours before dinner to allow time for digestion.
  • Exercise every day - earlier, rather then later.
  • Use your bedroom primary for sleeping.
  • Avoid or limit daytime naps.
  • Listen to relaxation tapes to fall asleep.
  • If you can’t fall asleep within 15 minutes, get up and do something until you feel sleepy.
  • Cleanse your inside body on a regular basis.

Mediate stress away.
Just sit in a chair and close your eyes.
Visualize beautiful garden full of flowers.
Focus on each of those flowers.
Smell and touch. Enjoy every flower. Think flowers, see flowers, smell flowers.
“Relax …  let go.”
 
Develop an arsenal of stress techniques that work for you.
for example, simple breathing techniques, can keep from blowing your top in a meeting. Vigorous exercise after work can help you let go of the day frustrations.
      
              Tell You Story
 
One of my business adventures were creating a project in Costa Rica.
It was prompted by economy downfall during 1989-91.
Me and my partner Jack sold everything in Canada and moved to Costa Rica.
I was working on my “Dream” project called ” Not Just Another Hotel”
At that time, I started to notice how many middle age couples were
divorcing. I’ve seen men going after women of their children age, meanwhile their wives were going
for plastic surgeries.
I watched , and watched, I listened and listened.
I was wondering about what could be done to help them to understand that how much of their experience and appreciation of themselves  could bring them the happiness they were looking for.
I was convinced that all those sad people were looking for happiness in the wrong places.
I was thinking that there must be a way for them to discover their talents, to help them to understand that every wrinkle is actually a result of their love and laughter, sorrow and joy of priceless life experiences.

 

I wanted to help them to to discover it, and learn to appreciate themselves more. I wanted to show them how  they could learn about themselves, and hoping that through this  process they could start their “second life.”

 

Of course, I wasn’t going to do it all by myself. I wanted to have professionals to come, and have all kinds of classes in this beautiful country where the sun rises at five in the morning all year round, even during it’s winter months.

 

Oh, by the way, don’t kid yourself.
There is no place that is perfect. There is a downside in this climate too. It’s a rainy season during the winter. The rain starts at exactly twelve every day during witer months, and goes on till five or six, sometimes all the way through the night. At five in the morning, the sun comes right up.
 
I was very excited about my project.
 
Along with all this excitement came  many road blocks, called for stress that I was turning into a “stress solving guru.”

 

As I am looking back, I understand now why I did what I did.
I also see how many good things I’ve learned while I thought I was doing it just to survive, and slowly move forward.
 
Tomorrow, I’ll tell you The Story
called “My Garden Vase”
Stay tune, mean time, eat well to stay Healthy.
What’s “Eating Well means in this day and age?
You want to learn about it?
 
Go to:
 
at the end of that blog you will
be able to purchase on line our
book called
“110 Ways To Eat Well”
 
Don’t forget to print it, though.
I also recommend it to be bind in
a clear cover with white coil.

I already told you that we had a garden, no fridge, but the cold, under floors, crawling space, where we kept our vegetables and preserves for winter.
I also told you that my stepmother
went to real farmers market once in a while to buy fresh fish, and sometimes even chicken.
That’s how I was  brought up from the time I came from the orphanage till I left my father’s home at fourteen.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the job at this age in USSR. They won’t hire
until one would have a passport at sixteen.
Well, I was lucky to find The Meat Plant. They would take anybody, even me.
At that moment, it was God sent chance for me to be on my own.
They provided training, room and board for the whole twelve months. Wow!!!
This story is gritted in details in my soon coming out book I Never Met My Mother.
The reason I want to tell you this story now is because, when I saw what poor animals went through before they became “food”, you really don’t want to know.
But maybe you do. And you can, if you want.
and find out. Watch one of the Videos there. The number one, I belive is called “Eight Minutes”
Watch it. It may really give you a wake up call.
