Real beauty tips are buried in our culture, but we have to dig to find them.  America the Beautiful is really Americans the Overweight and Exhausted unless you DON’T DO what everyone else is doing.

beauty-awards-makeup-bear494   If you stay up late to watch TV, watch a movie every weekend, eat fast food several times a week, work long hours at the office and spend your paychecks for the next 4 years at least then you’ll die like the average American- from heart disease, cancer or diabetes complications.

If you want to be healthy and happy and live BEAUTIFUL, then you must do more of these “5 Ways to Live Beautiful” everyday.

Jardine sleep1. Sleep.  The average American bedtime is between 11:30pm AND the average American wake-up time is 5:47 a.m. SOOOOO… the average American is getting around 6 hours of sleep a night.  This isn’t enough beauty sleep for natural repair of damage done to your skin, organs or body during the day.  Most people need 7-9 hours a night.  (My teenager gets 10 hours a night and he has boundless energy when he’s up…)

EF20872. Exercise.  Adding to the long list of reasons to take the stairs, is the fact that exercise cleans skin pores and that give you a youthful, healthy glow.  Without sweating, adult acne will be common as well as puffiness.  Exercise in the morning decreases the stress hormone, cortisol, which leads to wrinkles.

220px-Protein_shake3. Eat a protein-filled breakfast.  Proteins break down to amino acids and those are the foundation of the collagen in your skin.  Without a protein filled breakfast, its tough to have great skin and great energy throughout the day.   Try a protein shake, meat, beans and bananas.

4. Hydrate.  Coffee does not count as water, nor does soda… so even if you do drink these beauty zapping liquids still… try to get 70-80 ounces of “liquid gold” or water into your body today!  Even more beautifying is getting 50 ounces of water in you before noon!  Bonus beauty tip!

5. Smile.  If you don’t have anything to smile about today… GET SOMETHING to smile about QUICK!  We must build rewards into our day that don’t include food, like taking a swim, calling a friend, taking a walk, reading a good magazine, being intimate with your spouse, looking at the beauty of nature and more.  This is up to you to create.

smiling-womanBeauty is more than skin deep- its LIFE deep.  Living beautiful today includes doing things that make you happy and healthy.

Remember, when your body works, your life works!  Dr Carrie Jardine

A death helped me want to live

His children gave eulogy and reflected on cherished moments they had with him. We all left the funeral planning on living bigger, happier and more connected lives.

292492_4296093368980_1611450541_nWe spent a week with extended family mourning the loss of my father in law and celebrating the good memories we had with him.  I didn’t do any office related work, but I sure had my reasons for pursuing health strengthened!

 

 

Consider the following four pivotal reasons to continue the path to live healthy:

309e41a466934674a816640a5bcf3dd31.  Your family and loved ones want to be with you.  If you’re not feeling well, depressed or just don’t have the stamina to do activities with your family then you’re really not with them.  Creating eating, exercise and strategies to deal with stress make you healthy and this helps you be active!  The more active you are, the happier you’ll be.  You’re family may be missing you right now- and you may have seen them this morning!

2. You can’t afford to be sick.  Treating disease is costly, painful and creates more health problems. When I suggest people get adjusted at least once a month, I’ve often heard that they can’t afford it.  What this really means is they don’t VALUE it. The more often you correct nerve damage (the goal of an adjustment), eat high energy food, exercise at your gym or outside … the LESS you’ll need to spend later fixing, sewing up, taking out and medicating yourself later on!  Health is always worth it.

Marrissa Edmonson serving Elaine Brett at KPP3.  Self-care is a must to prepare yourself to serve others.  In my church, I often hear people confusing self-care with being self-ish.  It is a fine line, but an important distinction for living a life of service.  When we don’t spend some morning hours preparing ourselves for the day, we won’t have the stamina, focus, desire or ability to serve others! My daily self-care routine includes physical exercise, reading holy writings, prayer and meditation and reflection on how I will accomplish the most important things today.  This prepares my body and mind to forget myself… and serve others.

lehi-vision-dream-mormon4.  Pursuing health is a spiritual path.  I believe getting healthy is caring for the greatest gift we have from God- our bodies.  When I care for my body, mind and soul… I am getting healthier.  Health is much, much more than just eating right and exercising and their is more to those two issues than most people realize.  Health must include the following things: sleeping, breathing, being grateful, setting goals, moving (exercise & just being more active), drinking enough water, eating high energy raw foods and learning something everyday you live!

Making the world a better place starts now.  By taking care of yourself, you can be happier and shine in the world.  The world needs you.  I need you.

Remember, when your body works, your life works!  Dr Carrie Jardine

EMOTOCISING! Exercises to Boost Happy Emotions

After teaching a workshop on applying oriental medicine to the average american life – I concluded with this thought “Whatever helps chakra (energy) helps emotions.  Emotions = Energy.”
boy-color-girl-happy-smile-Favim.com-114901_large
Knowing this leads to several things you can do today to improve your happy and joyful emotions and boost your energy as well!  I call these “EMOTOCISING!”
 
1. Crown Chakra– Be GRATEFUL.  Gratitude is the highest emotion you can feel and opens your crown chakra.  When this chakra is open- all other chakra’s are more open.  The crown chakra is also your connection to spiritual things.  Think of the crown chakra like the energetic brain of the emotional body.
       mystical_fantasy_paintings_kb_wall_josephine-whispered_dreams 2. Third eye or brow chakra–  DREAM with your eyes open. Spend time creating your “happy place” in your mind.  This brings on feelings of peace and healing and creation and GRATITUDE. Get clear on what you desire & want and use your 5 senses when you do this to make the dream more clear and more able to be acted upon.
3. Throat Chakra – SING.  Singing is vibration and energy!  We each have a voice and must use it to be truely happy.  We have too many societal conditions that keep us down and not wanting to sing, speak our voice or think we can be heard.  Now, the second most important rule in this exercise is that you must be TRUTHFUL and KIND at the same time which takes some work!
4. Heart Chakra – HUG. Connect your heart area with other people’s heart area by hugging!  We have invisible “heart strings” which tie us and physical touch strengthens those.  Doing push ups and swimming also open up your heart!
5. Solar Plexus Chakra – JUMP. Jumping moves you physically and gets lymph circulating. You have more lymph than blood and lymph’s only way to flow is through motion.  And get this…. E- MOTION.  Healthy emotion comes from motion of the body!
happy-smile-charuhas-images6. Sacral Chakra – BREATH. You are as entitled to the air as anyone else and yet we try to keep ourselves small and try to use up only what’s necessary to keep us alive, not thriving. BREATH is free and does SOOOOOO many chemical things in your body including: alkalinizing (CO2 is an acid and needs to be released by breathing), oxygenating (muscles get tight without oxygen), muscle building (without oxygen there is no good blood), and much more. Breath deeply. 
7. Root Chakra Exercises – WALK.  This keep us rooted and grounded and integrates brain to body to boost feelings of relaxation and peace.  They boost the function of the reproductive system and help you handle stress better.
My best natural remedy for depression?  Be grateful, dream, sing, hug, jump, breath and walk your way to a happier life.
Remember, when your body works, Your life works!  Be well.  Dr Carrie Jardine
