As a writer, one of the best Fun Things I do is write for the Ultimate Blog Challenge every 3 months. I create and post an article with photos and social media links every day, for 31 days! Then I read and comment on the other writers’ blog posts, and my world opens up more each day. And I make wonderful friends. I hope my writings will entertain my readers and sometimes make them go “hmmmm”, prompting changes in habits that help them enjoy their lives more. At this point, I have over 600 articles on my blog, representing my natural healing and coaching practice. Today is the last piece of the July 2022 series.

Part of the fun of being in a blog challenge is the creativity of coming up with a topic every day. So I collect topics all the time, and they’re stored in a Secret Stash in my electronics. The UBC organizer, Digital Maestro Paul Taubman, provides a prompt each day during the challenge. Sometimes I use it, and sometimes I am more drawn to something else.

One of the Fun Things I found this month was an item featured in a British newspaper I read, The Telegraph. It seems, in Austin, Texas, USA, there is a golden retriever that just loves to let himself up on his family’s roof! Then he stays for hours, depending on the weather. His name is Huckleberry, or Huck for every day. Huck has been amazing passersby with his rooftop sentry mode now, since 2017. Huck is on Facebook, Instagram, The Dodo, and his own website. He has been featured on major news shows. Just search “Huck the Roof Dog” to see more images and videos. He draws enough concerned attention that his family had to post a sign saying not to worry about the dog on the roof. He figured out how to get up there, and he loves it. When the family expanded their house, they made sure to maintain Huck’s access, and he now has his own ramp.

Are you smiling now? Fill your mind with positive news and the negative news will be much less distressing! This will also let your nervous system reset, and you will literally feel better. And that would be you, even more awesome, and ever more Healthy Happy and Loving Life^sm!

In my daily series this month, I have hoped to strongly convince you that positive living is the way to be, and that it results in greater health and happiness and joy. Plus, it’s more fun! And that would be me and you, shaping our lives as we want them, ever more Healthy Happy and Loving Life^sm!

Arizona Summer skies either look solid blue or are patterned with fascinating clouds. It’s our “monsoon” season. Here we have a bird 70′ high in a eucalyptus, a beautiful and rainy sky, and a very rare appearance of clouds emulating sand dunes. Have a beautiful day wherever you are!

Not having the energy you want is a pervasive condition many have been noticing in recent years. We have fatigue from sleep disorders including from breathing errors during sleep. We have fatigue from stress overload or from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), overlapping with fatigue due to bad dreams. We have fatigue from eating too much sugar, fatigue from eating foods containing microtoxins, fatigue from air pollution, and fatigue from drinking too little water. We have Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome (CFIDS). Substituting coffee for sleep can work for a while, then make us deeply fatigued. There are many more causes for being too tired.

Tired people may have trouble concentrating, may ache all over, and may be cranky. Their reflexes are impaired, slowing down their thinking and actions. They may make be unproductive and make mistakes that result in losses at work. They may cause accidents while driving and hurt relationships at home. They get sick more easily.

But what if you need some instant energy, you don’t have time to read, and you’ve had enough coffee for the day? Some basic yoga, that doesn’t even look like yoga, can help. This is called “invisible yoga”. Everyone has seen regular yoga: it looks like stretches and breath techniques. Here are 2 subtle-looking yet powerful techniques you can do in almost any situation, no one will notice, and you will increase your vitality within two minutes. Do either of these Instant Yoga Energizers for just one minute, if that’s all you have before your meeting starts.

Instant Yoga Energizer #2: Seated, become aware of your fatigue and how your body is positioned. Where is your fatigue? If your shoulders are, for example, off to the left of your body’s center, gently glide them back to center. If your head is down and forward, gently move it back to being upright and centered between your shoulders. Now become aware of your breath. How shallow or deep is it? Begin to exhale out to the end of your breath. Push the last bit of air out of your lungs and allow the reflexive inhale, or gasp. The inhale will automatically fill your lungs completely, replacing the urban pollutant-filled air you just pushed out. This is a complete breath: the exhale plus the inhale. Do this twice more. Notice the light sensation at the back of your head, plus the warming of your ankles and neck.

Congratulations! You have just had your first Invisible Yoga Class. Namaste! Use these techniques often, and enjoy the effects. After all, it’s your energy and your life. Why spend it being tired?

Have you tried these already? Don’t they feel good? In my daily series this month, I hope to strongly convince you that positive living, using holistic tools, is the way to be, and that it results in greater health and happiness and joy. It’s more fun! And that would be you, ever more Healthy Happy and Loving Life^sm!

Hands up, anyone who feels tired right now! Oh yes. Hands up, anyone who is routinely more tired than they want to be! Oh yes. By the way, you look like you’re tired. Just kidding. Some of you are wearing makeup, and it keeps you from looking so tired. Not having the energy you want is a pervasive condition many have been plagued with. There are many causes. We have fatigue from sleep disorders, including from breathing errors during sleep. We have fatigue from stress overload or from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), overlapping with fatigue due to bad dreams. We have fatigue from eating too much sugar, fatigue from eating foods containing microtoxins, fatigue from air pollution, and fatigue from drinking too little water. We have Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome (CFIDS). Substituting coffee for sleep can work for a while, then make us deeply fatigued. There are many more causes for being too tired. Tired people may have trouble concentrating, may ache all over, and may be cranky. Their reflexes are impaired, slowing down their thinking and actions. They may make be unproductive and make mistakes that result in losses at work. They may cause accidents while driving and hurt relationships at home. They get sick more easily.

What are you willing to do for the life you say you want?

In contrast, we feel great when we have lots of energy. Vitality is a magic ingredient that can completely turn around attitudes, productivity, and relationships. There are many ways to trade in stress and fatigue for energized living. In my book, Discover The Secret Energized You, there are hundreds of understandings, tips and tricks for literally trading in your stress for energy. These are all part of the Upbeat Living system. But what if you need some instant energy, you don’t have time to read, and you’ve had enough coffee for the day? Some yoga, that doesn’t even look like yoga, can help. I call this “invisible yoga”. Everyone has seen regular yoga: it looks like stretches and breath techniques. However, here are 2 powerful techniques you can do in almost any situation, no one will notice, and you will increase your vitality within two minutes. Do either Instant Yoga Energizer for just one minute, if that’s all you have before your meeting starts.

After all, life is your grand experiment! What tools will you use?

How far will you go and how high will you rise? It depends on you.

Instant Yoga Energizer #1: Find a spot where you can see a clock or your smartphone’s clock. Notice the time. Now think of stretching as you roll your shoulders slowly, gently, “stretchingly” for 2 full minutes. Roll them in the same direction and then in opposite directions. Notice that your head seems to be down and forward compared to the refreshed shoulders. Gently bring your head up and back, until it is centered over your shoulders. Repeat. Now notice the energy has reached your toes and the balls of your feet. Notice the lightness in your head. That is the improved circulation of blood and oxygen in and to your brain. Now you can think clearly again. Notice your vitality is up. Enjoy! Instant Yoga Energizer #2: Seated, become aware of your fatigue and how your body is positioned. Where is your fatigue? If your shoulders are, for example, off to the left of your body’s center, gently glide them back to center. If your head is down and forward, gently move it back to being upright and centered between your shoulders. Now become aware of your breath. How shallow or deep is it? Begin to exhale out to the end of your breath. Push the last bit of air out of your lungs and allow the reflexive inhale, or gasp. The inhale will automatically fill your lungs completely, replacing the urban pollutant-filled air you just pushed out. This is a complete breath, the exhale plus the inhale. Do this twice more. Notice the light sensation at the back of your head, plus the warming of your ankles and neck. Congratulations! You have just had your first Invisible Yoga Class. Namaste! Use these techniques often, and enjoy the effects. After all, it’s your energy and your life. Why be tired?
