Kick Your Feet Up

Kick your feet up so that your ankles are above the level of your heart. 

Do that at least once during the day.   

Ten to 15 minutes.   

You can do this when you take your power nap.  

You should also do this routinely at bedtime.  Put a pillow under your feet. 

 

It is important to let the blood drain from your feet.  To get that circulation going. 

 

Use gravity to your advantage.  I was going to label this post “The Power of Gravity”.   

 

Think how powerful gravity is.   

It causes you to shrink about 1/3 of an inch a decade. 

It keeps 1,338,000,000 cubic Kilometers of water from floating into outer space. 

(ONE cubic Kilometer of water = 264 Billion gallons) 

 

So, kick your feet up. 

It’s good for you. 

 

Wishes for a great day, 

Hugs too,

Sidebar:  Gravity is also fast, and according to one of my sons, faster than light.  Tough to explain because I still don’t fully get it and he told me this over 25 years ago.  He said, “Dad, think about what a black hole is and that light can’t escape from it.  That means gravity is faster than light because it catches it and holds it, preventing it from getting out -hence why they are called black holes”.   

Anyhow…….

Return to Your Babyhood Remember the good old days when you were a baby? When you never gave up, regardless of how many times you failed. What happened to those good old days? When you were learning how to walk, you fell down each and every time. On average 17 times per hour. Hundreds if not thousands of times. And what did you do? You got back up. Each and every time. No questions asked. Never taking failure as your final answer. And then, you succeeded. You never doubted yourself. You never overthought things. You never got in your way. If you are now doing these things, preventing yourself from succeeding, getting in your own way, doubting yourself, overthinking things, stop. You can do it. You have done it before. When you had far less capabilities and knowledge and support. Wishes for another great day, each one a gift, David/

Failure or Revelation? You never fail at anything, and that is the truth. What you are doing is revealing to yourself an area of improvement. It is important to realize this, because if you are not failing at something, you are not challenging yourself adequately. And if you are not challenging yourself, how do you make yourself a better person tomorrow than you are today? So please, fail at something often. Be a better person each and every day, because, Each day is a gift, David/
