If there's a will, there's a way

No mother is too busy to be able to take care of themselves without jeopardizing their responsibilities and bonding time with their kids. This mother will prove you wrong if you keep enumerating all the justifications for not having enough time for exercise. Do not just check out this video, try it out for yourself and be amazed at the realization. I did, myself and that's why I'm sharing it here.

What is Ecozoic Living?

Ecozoic Living means living in harmony with all creations. None in life is compromised, every organism is given the chance to thrive and live it's purpose here on earth. There is mutual respect. "Live simply so that others may simply live" speaks a lot about this, that is as far as we human beings are concerned. Living simply, however doesn't mean we have to give up the luxuries that we also deserve given the fact that we work too hard for our family and loved ones. Look at this one here, doesn't it look luxurious enough? Going natural doesn't mean inconvenience, it means more opportunity to enjoy nature without threatening it's life and existence. Going natural is taking care of our home, the earth, a gift to us. Going natural means ensuring that the air that we breathe is fresh, clean and a refreshment to our lungs. Ecozoic living is going natural. 

 Imagine co-existing with the birds, lizard and even mosquitoes! Kidding aside, of course with ecozoic principle, I can always co-exist with the mosquitoes without to actually harm them. I just need to shoo them a away a bit by planting some mosquito repellant plants and trees. 

 Hmmm... looking at this picture, I think this would be very possible in my little area down in Sipalay. Before getting to the entrance of my place, there is also a shallow sort of a river. 

Here you can see me and my son gathering some pebbles while enjoying the early morning sunlight. 

That is where I will built that hanging rest house! 

You're Toxic

Stay away from toxic people. They are a lot of stress and we all know what stress can do to our body. Little by little I have come to realize that indeed I can "stay away" from these negative people, even if I get to see them everyday or even if I have to live under one roof with them. The solutions may not be simple but of course they are doable. 
1. Shield yourself from their toxin by not accepting any of what they say as your own. Of course I'm referring to negative comments, insults, even observations. Sometimes they're just venting out their frustrations, you may listen, but do not accept it as your own. That's not your frustration, that is theirs. 
2. Release that negativity right after. Listen to a favorite music, wash your face with water or if possible take a nice long warm shower. You can go for a walk while taking deep breathes and releasing them to nature. There are plenty of other things you can do release negativity. 
3. Most important of all, be honest. If you really could not take it anymore or you think that you are at the moment "already stressed" enough, kindly express yourself and asked to be excused. That is not very easy to do but I tried that a few times already and no matter what their reaction would be to that, it's not your problem anymore. You've got your organs, and ultimately, your life to protect. 

Stress, the silent killer

It makes me scared watching this video. But this is very enlightening, nevertheless. I hope to spread this awareness to others so that many lives could be saved from this silent killer. All it takes, I guess, is a decision to do something about the daily stressors like schedule and family concerns and career, business, the like. No matter how intimidating this may seem, I believe it is very possible to combat stress and be able to live a healthy lifestyle. One just has to make that decision. I am making that decision. That is one of the reasons why I have come up with this site. I have just turned 40 and I want to face the remaining half of my life wish positive spirit and firm decision that I can conquer whatever it is that keeps me from being victorious.

Quick Fix Cardio Exercise

I am a very busy single working mom. Every day, my my many different roles demand 12 hours from me, mostly away from my own son and other much more important things like family, and myself. I've gotten used to the belief that exercise should at least reach 15 minutes in order for our body to maximize the full benefits. The past years have proven me wrong about that. HIT or High Interval Training has become very popular already, same principle with meta-fit exercises.
