Pressure Point Therapy – Dealing With Stress
We’re all under stress these days. When I ask assorted people what “stress” is, I get many answers. Money, jobs (or lack thereof), deadlines, relationships, children, parents and traffic are very common responses. From college classes, I remember stress had something to do with “salivating dogs.” That definition (and most other psych ones) are nonsense. Webster’s Dictionary defines stress as PRESSURE. Whatever the stress is, from any source, it results in pressure. Good definition, right? So now the stress from the outside world gets in your body. And man, can you feel it!

A Tale of Two Calories – Increasing Your Metabolism
A while back I got inspired and found an elliptical training machine to work out on. The digital display on the machine has a calorie-burn counter. I started jogging slowly and worked my way up. The first day I was huffing and puffing with about 6 minutes of working out. Fine. I wasn’t going to push it. Within 30 days I could work out for 30-45 minutes.

Why Everyone’s Sick and No One Can Tell Anymore
Recently I was on a red-eye flight from Portland, OR to Minneapolis. I was looking forward to sleeping most of the way. The lady behind me ruined this idea. She began talking to the person next to her about her conditions. She was very specific about these and didn’t finish her narration until the pilot announced we were letting down for landing. I couldn’t believe that one person could have so many maladies. Non-stop hours of them…I began to think about it and of course realized that we’re oriented towards a sickness care system in his country rather than a...
