Oasis Gratitude Journal for Vibrant Health

Gratitude makes a healthier you. It’s that plain and simple… and scientifically proven. Gratitude is powerful.

When we train ourselves to be grateful on a daily basis, we form and then strengthen new and beneficial neural pathways. These neural pathways then lead to improved overall health.

How? Because your thoughts literally change the levels of neurotransmitters, growth factors and hormones that are produced (happens within seconds), which then improves sleep, energy, blood pressure, immune system, inflammation, pain, stress, anxiety, depression, mental clarity, and happiness.

That all leads to improved emotions and empathy, which then leads to better relationships. These, in turn, further strengthen and reinforce the new beneficial neural circuit to create an endless loop of health due to the drastic and measurable physical benefits.

Gratitude really is that powerful!

Please join in using this journal daily (or nearly daily basis). Consistency is the key. This is a simple and super easy-to-use guide using specific questions based on proven research to help you create the habit of gratitude to gain vibrant health. Each page has a morning section and an evening section so you get to experience gratitude as you begin and end each day.

Enjoy the video, and as always, feel free to pass this along!

Sitting is Too Easy

Sitting is the “New Smoking”.  It’s bad.  Real bad. 

Even if you exercise 1 hour every day, sitting, or being sedentary in general, is still a risk factor for multiple chronic diseases and premature death.  So this is for you whether you exercise consistently or not, because sitting is an independent risk factor for premature death no matter how much you exercise.

If you spend even an hour at a time sitting, whether at work or home, at a desk, computer, phone, on a couch, in a hammock, driving a car, etc., then you are actively harming yourself.

Your body is made for movement and studies suggest that the body should move (even while sleeping) every 15 to 20 minutes.  So, that’s exactly what you should be doing.

Steps to make being sedentary and/or sitting too much a non-health hazard:

1. Calculate how much sitting you do on average each day.  Also estimate how long you go sitting in one position without moving.
   
2. Exercise or at least move for an extended time period consistently daily.  Make this an activity that you actually enjoy and mix it up.
   
3. Decrease sitting time by doing step #4.
   
4. Stand for 15-30 seconds every 15-20 minutes during extended sitting/sedentary periods.  Set a timer if you have to.

This will help your muscles, enzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters, metabolism, overall energy, and life expectancy in general.

Enjoy living :-) And enjoy the video!
