“At every level, from the microcellular to the psychological, exercise not only wards off the ill effects of chronic stress; it can also reverse them. Studies show that if researchers exercise rats that have been chronically stressed, that activity makes the hippocampus grow back to its preshriveled state. The mechanisms by which exercise changes how we think and feel are so much more effective than donuts, medicines, and wine. When you say you feel less stressed out after you go for a swim, or even a fast walk, you are.” IfsThinkingFeelsHas BeensStatesShowsGrowsWalksLevelsStudyEffectsExerciseActivityStressWineMedicineIllPsychologicalSwimMechanismReverseRatsStressedResearchersDonutsStressed Out Author:John Ratey

“Wit makes its own welcome, and levels all distinction. No dignity, no learning, no force of character, can make any stand against good wit.

“I think part of what makes someone a great actor is being able to walk into a situation emotionally available and open, and have all your guards down, and just have that level of trust and security in yourself to know that you could walk out on that limb with someone else and be safe.” ThinkingKnowsAbleActorsWalksLevelsSituationSecuritySafeDown AndAvailableLimbsGreat Actors Author:Katie Aselton
“When you walk into the presence of people who calibrate at the very highest energy levels, just being in their energy field, everything that is diseased or in disharmony is healed. When you bring a higher and a more loving energy to the presence of disorder or disharmony or disease, you are really bringing a healing energy. And that's what healing is involved with: It's no longer allowing yourself to wallow around in a process in which you tell yourself that you don't have the capacity to be able to transcend whatever it is that's bothering you or hurting you or killing you.” PeopleAbleEnergyProcessHurtWalksLevelsHealingFieldsHigherInvolvedDiseaseHighestCapacityKillingBotherAllowingDisorderJust BeingHealedEnergy HealingDiseasedEnergy FieldsEnergy LevelsHurting YouDisharmonyBothering You Author:Wayne Dyer
