12 Practical Ways to be a Yogi in the Moment

1. Have a Lie Down (Make Space for the Moment)

Back pain can be avoided and the damage repaired with one easy exercise, which is lie down on the floor with your knees bent, hip width apart, feet on the floor. Do this daily for about five to fifteen minutes to release and lengthen your spine. Making time for yourself to do this will allow you to feel more comfortable in the future to give you time to be with yourself. If you do this often your body and brain will associate making time with a loosening of the body.

2. Note Your Nibbles (Mark the Moment)

Crash diets don't work for long enough; instead maintain a food diary to note your daily eating habits. With this you'll be conscious of what you eat, and make healthier choices. It's not always about setting restrictions for yourself. Trust yourself when the voice in the back of your head says something about you food. It will only speak to you when you give it time.

3. 10 Deep Breaths (Return To The Moment)

Our breath power our lymphatic system, which removes waste from cells. By taking 10 deep breaths, three times a day, you'll clear more toxins and boost your thinking power by getting 20% more oxygen to your brain. This has many of the similar effects to the first tip on the list.

4. Put Your Fork Down (Notice The Moment)

Put your fork down between every mouthful of food, it makes you chew your food properly, preventing digestive problems, and also prevents you from over-eating. This is also a good exercise to enjoy the meal and really chew that food. This ensures full nutrient digestion for the body.

5. Make a List (Plan the Moment)

The most effective stress buster is to make a list. Your short term memory can only remember, on an average, seven things. So when you overload it , your stress level escalate. Making a list clears out all the stress from your brain you feel tension free. This saves you from headaches, depression and high blood pressure. A great list to make if you are developing yourself is a pros and cons lists of your habits and personality. Think and make this list over a span of a week, and don't be to hard on yourself. At the end of the week, write a short story about yourself if you only exhibited those negative qualities and habits. Describe in detail and in depth where this would eventually take you in a month, 6 months a year and 10 years. This is your potential personal hell and its one heck of a motivator. This exercise is based off of Jordan Peterson's Future Authoring Course.

6. Massage Your Feet (Nurture the Moment)

Poor circulation could be robbing you of much needed sleep. Your temperature needs to drop slightly before you fall asleep, so your body dispels heat via your face, hands and feet. But many women have poor circulation, which constricts the blood vessels in their hands and feet and prevents them from dispelling heat. A hot bath before sleeping or a hand and foot massage will increase your circulation.

7. An Organic Apple a Day (Nature the Moment)

If you buy one organic item a day, make it an apple. Research found that pesticide residues in 71% of apples- the highest in fruits and vegetables. Eating the core of the apple is also highly recommended. The chemical in the apple skin and the seeds combine to produce a chemical call amygdalin (B17) which is able to cure cancer. A quick wiki will tell you this is a lie a but a long flight to Mexico will show you that all of the hospitals there carry the pharmaceutical version called Laetrile which works the same way. I have know 2 people personally in my life who have beaten cancer with this method.

8. Change Your Tea Bag (Cleanse the Moment)

When it comes to tea white is the new green. White tea comes from the same plant as green and black but is harvested earlier and undergoes less processing, which means it contains more cancer fighting anti- oxidants. Mix things up in life and return to cleaner habits. The effort will compound over time.

9. Eat Dried Apricots and Apricot Bitters (Prepare for the Moment)

The most common nutritional deficiency is iron. Tiredness, irritability and lack of concentration. Prevent it by having two helpings of lean red meat a week, or three dried apricots a day. Again this has the cancer curing agent amygdalin (B17) although this is the best source to get it from because of its concentration. Search Hunza Bitter on Amazon

10. Stop Skipping Meals (Remember the Moment)

Eating three meals a day is very important for a healthy body. It's the simplest way to balance blood sugar levels, which will keep your mood, energy and concentration balanced and strengthen your stress tolerance.

11. Keep it Crunchy (Have Strength for the Moment)

Include some raw vegetables in every meal. Many of the vitamins and minerals are in vegetables are lost through cooking, so raw food is as good as it gets.

12. Focus on Your Feeling (Have Compassion for the Moment)

Take two minutes to boost your resolve to do walk, jog or aerobics class. The instant gratification of that exercise high is far more motivating than the promise of thinner thighs two months down the line.
