Need to lower your Blood Pressure?
Try this 2-Minute Blood Pressure Lowering Exercise

Simply squeeze a rubber ball. It seems to help—a lot, says Men's Health magazine author Steven Stiefel. According to a study in the European Journal of Applied Physiology, people performing handgrip exercises for 8 weeks lowered their systolic blood pressure by 15 points and their diastolic pressure by five.

"The blood-pressure response to grip training is greater than to aerobic exercise," says lead author Maureen MacDonald, Ph.D. All it takes is 2 minutes of squeezing, four times a day.

It can also help reduce your stress which in return helps lower your blood pressure. While squeezing these small rubber shapes, take deep breaths and concentrate on each breath.

It's amazing! While squeezing this small rubber shape and concentrating on each breath, there is very little room for any other thoughts to enter your mind!
Try several shapes and take time to bring out your inner child, just have fun and smile all while acquiring some emotional and physical health benefits. A great way to manage your stress!

What is Your Branch of Creativity?

What is Your Branch of Creativity?

Creativity is partly defined as stimulating the imagination. You can live a creative life because everyone holds creativity in some way.
Being creative or artistic is more than being a writer, musician, photographer or artist.

The Branches of Creativity are endless:

Cooking - Putting a recipe together with your own choices of tasty spices, ingredients and the artistic presentation of that dish.
Baking - Mixing and blending cakes and tarts while using your creative imagination in their decoration.
Gardening - Growing colorful flowers and plants, their placement in your garden space, pruning, cutting flowers and then arranging them.
Decorating - Your office or home by choosing wall colors, furniture, accessories and window covering. Decorating your domain is a very personal creative choice. Since I am a Wearer of Many Hats, I tend to lean on the eclectic side.
Crafts - Sewing, knitting, crochet, weaving, wood burning and carving just to name a few.
Recycling - The creativity of taking many different daily items we encounter and repurposing their use is limitless.

And at times you may feel that you need to jump-start your own creativity.
Here are 10 tips that may help to inspire you:

Learn to listen to your inner voice, your inner child.
Be curious, read, don't be afraid to learn something new or even take a class.
Sleep on it; more ideas seem to come to us when we are falling asleep.
Ask questions and keep an open mind.
Focus and be proactive.
Create a habit of completion.
Don't judge your project too soon - We can be our own worst critic, remember we all learn from our mistakes.
Schedule quiet time for yourself by taking a nature walk or just take what is referred to as an artist break just to be.
Carry a note book or small recorder to help you catch your thoughts and ideas.
Most important - Remember to enjoy yourself in whatever you deem to be your creative branch.

Julia Cameron says "Creativity is like gardening . Plant the seeds and you will get a harvest."
She has written several books to inspire and help people discover their creative potentials.

Find and nurture creativity within yourself.

"Creativity is innocent, playful and simple. When we paint and color and cut with scissors,
we are five years old again, absorbed in the moment, ecstatic in joy. Like flesh and blood it is humble.
It belongs to all of us."~ Dana Lynne Anderson
