Depression and Anxiety - The Antidote

 An easy antidote to what ails us.  Depression and anxiety are prevalent especially among the youth. And the answers lie within each of us. My experience has led me to a few simple ideas that hopefully will be helpful.

  • Connect to your Spiritual source. With God all things are possible.  And we are told by Jesus, "to ask and it shall be given unto you" or ask and receive. Start by just asking.
  • Reduce your exposure to the negative news flow.  Negative sells. We choose what to focus on and what we focus on expands.  Focus on the good the good, the possibilities, and all you will achieve in life. No matter where you are today
  • Get outdoors and soak in nature every day. We spend 99% of our time indoors. The house, office, car, gym, parties, restaurants, movies. 
  • Soak in the sunshine. Natural sunlight provides the good Vitamin D that we need and stays in our bodies much longer than synthetic vitamins. Morning sun, evening sun, soft sun soak it all in it does a body good. 
  • Fresh air. The fresh air will soothe and calm you. When something is bothering you just step outside and take a deep breath and see how your challenge washes away. The crisp air is so delicious you can just taste it. 
  • Walk barefoot in the grass also known as grounding.  Plugging into the grass or Grounding connects our electrical bodies, the heartbeat is an electrical pulse, to the electromagnetic waves of the earth helping reduce inflammation. Give it try. 
  • Family, friends, mentors.  Surround yourself with people that support you that care and nurture you.  If they are not available, stay true to yourself and be patient you will attract these people into you life with a  good attitude.
  • Take care of your body with good nutrition and exercise. When we get outdoors and exercise we can feel our moods lift and just some simple nutrition changes like less soda and a daily walk can be life changing.

The Power of Nature

 The best thing you can do for your health is to get OUTDOORS! The emphasis is on purpose and after all my years in health and fitness I have come to Know that getting fresh air, sunshine, and exposure to nature every day is so beneficial for your health that it can eliminate the need for blood pressure, anxiety, and antidepressants meds. 

I was fortunate to live in the age before ubiquitous screens.  We spend 99% of our time indoors we've become house cats.  We go from our homes, to the office, to the gym, to dinner, to movies, to parties, and all using our car. Think about it we are constantly indoors and without our realizing the impact to your health has been drastic.  And the corollary is that we are continuously tethered to our screens phones, Pc's, Tv's, video games again keeping us indoors.  

The great Elon Musk just mentioned that the significant achievement of Full Self Driving or FSD is that now you will be able to text while the car drives itself.  Great safety feature but a sad comment on society. The safety of driving is nice but we must have Texting!

Get outdoors take deep intentional breaths, eat the fresh air, soak up the sunshine, immerse yourself in nature, and walk barefoot in the grass or Ground and chance you get. These simple steps will transform your health.  

To Your Health!

America America!

 America the Beautiful

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

The first stanza of the beautiful poem by Katharine Lee Bates.  The melody belongs to Samuel Ward. We have much to be thankful for this Memorial Day Weekend where we celebrate our the tremendous sacrifices of our military.  Thank you all. 

God Bless all who serve.

Joseph the Father

 Joseph is the husband of Mary and father of Jesus.  The name Joseph means "God will add" which is fitting because Joseph is added to the lives of Mary and Jesus to guide them on their holy mission where life is made new again for all of us experience. 

And now we our the Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of God and of course we have our Jesus Lord Christ but Joseph the erstwhile servant Dad is left a little in the shadows.  

Like many fathers Joseph is somewhat in the background he is the guide, the escort, the shepherd. 

We fathers and dads today must realize our role to play even if it feels like we are in the background.  Like our heavenly Father, Son, and Holy Spirit we serve and shepherd the family.  We nurture, care, teach, protect, and serve the mother and children a joyous, glorious, life everlasting.  

Fathers be steadfast and follow the path of our heavenly Father and Shepherd who has sent us his beloved Son Jesus the Son of both God and Man to show us the path.  When we stay close and follow his example, teachings, and Word our path is made smooth. 

Let's be strong Fathers for all our families.  

We do all in Christ which strengthen us.  

Amen. 

With Love,

Coach K
