Warm water during your shower 'gently' moving into your ear is the best way to continually keep cerumen (ear wax) from building up in your ears. Then tilt your head sideways to dump the warm water out and repeat. There should NEVER be a blasting of warm or hot water from the shower or a Waterpik into your ear. EVER! Cerumen plays an important role in your body's natural defense system to keep dirt, dust, bacteria and other critters out of your ears. Too much cerumen can decrease your hearing ability.

Give yourself an optimistic acronym that you will keep in your head all day long to remind you to maintain a physically, spiritually and nutritionally healthy and happy Lifestyle. Here is an example: AWARE = Apple, Walking, Ask, Reduce, Educate. Make up your own acronym or use this one to keep you AWARE (there it is) all day long.

If you plan on buying more stuff or getting more stuff during this holiday season then make certain you are not just accumulating and piling on more stuff. Either 'use and enjoy' your stuff or gather some of it together and take it to Goodwill so you can share with the world what you have been blessed with to own. What is one person's stagnation and clutter is another one's treasure and gratefulness.

Our self-worth is a reflection of our morals and values, which will be reflected in our use of money. It will even show up in how much we settle for being paid. Look in the mirror, look around your home, yard, car or closet and see how your self-worth shows up. This can be quite powerful when you really take the time to see the outward reflection of your 'self' worth. The inside of your car is a reflection as well and shows how well you keep your house.

The majority of truly successful people are never really successful overnight. While they may look like an overnight success, it was their self-discipline, self-limitation, commitment, dedication and responsibility that made them successful. Those who are an overnight success rarely maintain longevity of that success. If you want success, then you will need some seriously ridiculous work ethic.

How food is presented or displayed can make us want to either ignore it or eat it. I buy 14 bananas a week that sit in the most beautiful basket. I Love that basket! That's 2 for him and 2 for me 7 days a week. One in the morning and one at lunch. I buy 2 pineapples, 2 cantelopes, 3 lbs. of grapes and 4 qts. of strawberries every week, which equals 2 big bowls of fruit salad in the refrigerator every 3 to 3-1/2 days. Buy some fruit and make a nice presentation of it and you will surely eat it.
