Getting Old or a New Beginning. Some Suggestions for Your Mid-Life Crisis
Copyright 2006 Douglas Alp
Mid-life is a period in time usually around the age of 40 that one starts asking what is the meaning of life,
who am I, and what am I doing here on this planet.
It is also a time where we start seeing our bodies changing a little.
We may start noticing a little extra weight, our skin sagging or wrinkling and we realize that we don't have the energy we used to.
At the same time we are somewhat in denial of the fact that we are aging and are wondering about the quality of life and thinking "what will I do with the rest of my life".
Many issues arise such as not being happy with ones lifestyle, job, health and relationships.
We start questioning decisions that we have made in the past.
We seem to be a little board with the way things are and are looking for some kind of change to once again provide the excitement we had at a younger age.
We think this can't be all there is.
So we start seeking adventure by looking to do something completely different with our lives, change our job or anything that will get us out of this aging boredom rut we got stuck in
These thoughts of boredom, growing old and what we can do about it can take a lot of energy.
I guess that's why they call it a crisis.
But there are things that one can do to get you out of this rut.
You can do things that get you excited about life.
Maybe even get your mind and body to cooperate and start living with that mindset that everyday is a new beginning and I will live everyday to the fullest.
You can still enjoy life as you mature.
You can enjoy life everyday till the day you die.
Something you can do is to focus on the things that bring you satisfaction and pleasure. Of course sex always comes up when you talk about satisfaction and pleasure and maintaining an active sex life is something that can help you keep your body in shape too.
There are many things one can do to relinquish the blues of a Mid-life crisis.
One should allow themselves more time to reflex on their life and explore their feeling about life situations, relationships and where they choose to go from here.
Reflection is fine for learning to live a better life but don't dwell on this for life is living in the present. Other things that you can do are possibly devote more time to your partner or spouse, rekindle that relationship and find new things that you can do together again.
Setting new goals or finding a new hobby is also a great way to get your mind active again.
Learning new things always creates an excitement just as when a child is learning something new they are active and excited about life.
Taking up traveling, doing volunteer work or spend time with your children or family.
Do things that keep you challenged, keep on learning and growing.
As I've heard T. Harv Eckert says "if you are not growing you are dying".
Plant those seeds again, the seeds of your life and start growing your life from this point on.
Start an exercise program.
Eat a well balanced diet to shed the few extra pounds you put on over they years.
And make sure you are getting the proper sleep.
Keep your mind healthy, stay active and finding your purpose will keep you growing and excited about life.
And even thou you are aging you are not dead.
It's time to live.

Add A Gourmet Taste With Cilantro
Cilantro is a common ingredient in salsa and Mexican dishes but did you know it dates as far back as the ancient Egyptians?
Coriander seeds which stem from the same plant as cilantro have been found in Egyptian tombs and writings involving coriander can be seen in Sanskrit which dates from around 1500 BC.
Cilantro is a versatile herb that is is commonly used in salsas, dips, dressings and sauces. This aromatic, citrus flavored herb is a member of the carrot family and can be used dried or fresh. The seeds from this herb are harvested and dried and are known as coriander. The green stems and leaves are the herb known as cilantro.
Cilantro is sometimes sold in the grocery store as something else and if you can't find it in your supermarket try looking for Mexican parsley.
Since cilantro is commonly used in Mexico and Mexican cooking, it is often called Mexican parsley but it is good in other types of cooking as well and you can even...

How to Forgive By Faith
Jesus said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you" (Luke 17:6).Wait a minute--did I get the right verse for this topic? What do mustard seeds and mulberry trees have to do with learning how to forgive? Quite a lot, actually. Earlier, Jesus had been talking about offenses and how to deal with them:"Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him: and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, 'I repent,' you shall forgive him" (Luke 17:3-4).Now, people don't generally mind rebuking a brother. In fact, it comes quite naturally (at least in our fallen human nature).
But when Jesus said to rebuke, it wasn't a license to act mean and nasty, or to be self-satisfied, which often seems to be what we mean by "rebuke"--when someone offends us, we want to "tell them off."That's...

Plant for Big Returns
(ContentDesk) July 29, 2004 -- There are about as many planting techniques as there are plants. Most organic growers have their favorite variations on ways of planting that they learned or picked up along the way.
Which of the hundreds if not thousands of techniques should you use?The deep bed method and the high wall method are two different names for the same way of planting, which is one of my favorites.
The deep bed method was created in the 1930s and 1940s and was popular during World War II when people grew backyard gardens called Victory Gardens.
Victory gardens were created by people who believed that urban gardens could contribute to the war effort by making up for food shortages and releasing food supplies for shipment to our troops ?and they did.
A lady in England?her name escapes me at the moment?and actually took credit for the term and wrote a book on the subject, which was in my library for several years, but has managed to grow its own...

The benefits of a Low Sodium Lifestyle
A low sodium, low salt diet shouldn't be a burden at all! Personally, I have kept to an "under 1000mg" a day diet with out giving up much but fast food (and who misses that anyway?)
When I was first told that my blood pressure was high ( 160/95) and labeled as having hypertension, I decided at that moment to do some serious research into what had created this "new-to-me" health concern.
I wanted to find a permanent solution to lower the numbers to an acceptable, healthy range without taking medication.
As I reflected on where I was in life at the moment, mid-life, not overweight, but not exercising regularly either, I began making small changes in my day-to-day lifestyle. I was not going to give in to hypertension.
First, I bought a nutritional handbook that lists most foods and their nutritional content. I decided to try and stay under 500mg of sodium daily. This took some work, but it paid off very well.
I had lowered my...

Seeds to Consider After a Prostate Cancer Diagnosis - Advice On Treatment Alternatives
Unlike their female counterparts who are proactively involved in their breast cancer treatment, men often fail to be fully informed of the treatment options for their prostate cancer prior to making a decision because they do not seek a second opinion. Prostate cancer patients opting for radical prostatectomy as recommended by their urologist, may be suitable candidates for less invasive procedures according to Dr. Kirk Kanady, Medical Director of Houston Prostate Cancer Centers. Innovative treatments are making it possible for men to live long and healthy lives following their diagnosis.
The current treatment options for prostate cancer include:
cryotherapy, radical prostatectomy (surgical removal), external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy (seed implants).
"To be fully informed a prostate cancer patient should see a Urologist to discuss surgical options but and also see a Radiation Oncologist to discuss external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy,"...
