10 Principles for peace of mind

10 Principles for peace of mind.....

1. Do Not Interfere In Others' Business Unless Asked.
Most of us create our own problems by interfering too often in others' affairs. We do so because somehow we have convinced ourselves that our way is the best way, our logic is the perfect logic and those who do not conform to our thinking must be criticized and steered to the right direction, our direction. This thinking denies the existence of individuality and consequently the existence of God.. God has created each one of us in a unique way. No two human beings can think or act in exactly the same way. All men or women act the way they do because God within them prompts them that way. Mind your own business and you will keep your peace.

2. Forgive And Forget:

This is the most powerful aid to peace of mind. We often develop ill feelings inside our heart for the person who insults us or harms us. We nurture grievances. This in turn results in loss of sleep, development of stomach ulcers, and high blood pressure. This insult or injury was done once, but nourishing of grievance goes on forever by constantly remembering it. Get over this bad habit. Life is too short to waste in such trifles. Forgive,Forget, and march on. Love flourishes in giving and forgiving.

3. Do Not Crave For Recognition:

This world is full of selfish people. They seldom praise anybody without selfish motives. They may praise you today because you are in power, but no sooner than you are powerless, they will forget your achievement and will start finding faults in you. Why do you wish to kill yourse lf in striving for their recognition? Their recognition is not worth the aggravation. Do your duties ethically and sincerely.

4. Do Not Be Jealous:

We all have experienced how jealousy can disturb our peace of mind. You know that you work harder than your colleagues in the office, but sometimes they get promotions; you do not. You started a business several years ago, but you are not as successful as your neighbor whose business is only one year old. There are several examples like these in everyday life. Should you be jealous? No. Remember everybody's life is shaped by his/her destiny, which has now become his/her reality. If you are destined to be rich, nothing in the world can stop you. If you are not so destined, no one can help you either. Nothing will be gained by blaming others for your misfortune. Jealousy will not get you anywhere, it will only take away your peace of mind.

5. Change Yourself According To The Environment:

If you try to change the environment single-handedly, the chances are you will fail. Instead, change yourself to suit your environment. As you do this, even the environment, which has been unfriendly to you, will mysteriously change and seem congenial and harmonious.

6. Endure What Cannot Be Cured:

This is the best way to turn a disadvantage into an advantage. Every day we face numerous inconveniences, ailments, irritations, and accidents that are beyond our control. If we cannot control them or change them, we must learn to put up with these things. We must learn to endure them cheerfully. Believe in yourself and you will gain in terms of patience, inner strength and will power.

7. Do Not Bite Off More Than You Can Chew:

This maxim needs to be remembered constantly. We often tend to take more responsibilities than we are capable of carrying out. This is done to satisfy our ego. Know your limitations. . Why take on additional loads that may create more worries? You cannot gain peace of mind by expanding your external activities. Reduce your material engagements and spend time in prayer, introspection and meditation. This will reduce those thoughts in your mind that make you restless. Uncluttered mind will produce greater peace of mind.

8. Meditate Regularly:

Meditation calms the mind and gets rid of disturbing thoughts. This is the highest state of peace of mind. Try and experience it yourself. If you meditate earnestly for half an hour everyday, your mind will tend to become peaceful during the remaining twenty-three and half-hours. Your mind will not be easily disturbed as it was before. You would benefit by gradually increasing the period of daily meditation. You may think that this will interfere with your daily work. On the contrary, this will increase your efficiency and you will be able to produce better results in less time.

9. Never Leave The Mind Vacant:

An empty mind is the devil's workshop. All evil actions start in the vacant mind. Keep your mind occupied in something positive, something worthwhile. Actively follow a hobby. Do something that holds your interest. You must decide what you value more: money or peace of mind. Your hobby, like social work or religious work, may not always earn you more money, but you will have a sense of fulfillment and achievement. Even ! when you are resting physically, occupy yourself in healthy reading or mental chanting of God's name.

10. Do Not Procrastinate And Never Regret:

Do not waste time in protracted wondering " Should I or shouldn't I?" Days, weeks, months, and years may be wasted in that futile mental debating. You can never plan enough because you can never anticipate all future happenings. Value your time and do the things that need to be done. It does not matter if you fail the first time. You can learn from your mistakes and succeed the next time. Sitting back and worrying will lead to nothing. Learn from your mistakes, but do not brood over the past. DO NOT REGRET. Whatever happened was desti ned to happen only that way. Why cry over spilt milk?

Ear Infections & care

Ear Infections & care

This topic covers infections of the middle ear (otitis media).
What is a middle ear infection?A middle ear infection (otitis media) is an inflammation or infection of the middle ear. It often begins when a cold causes the eustachian tube, which connects the middle ear to the throat, to swell and close. Instead of running down this tube, the extra fluid that comes along with a cold builds up in the middle ear. Bacteria or viruses can grow in the fluid and cause an ear infection.
This condition is most common in young children, because their eustachian tubes are shorter and more easily blocked than those in older children and adults.
There are two main types of otitis media.
Acute otitis media is an infection of the middle ear. The infection causes ear pain (sometimes severe). At times, fever is present.
Otitis media with effusion is a buildup of fluid in the middle ear without infection. Your child may not feel sick, but the fluid can cause some hearing loss or a feeling of "stuffiness" in the ears.


What causes middle ear infection?Bacteria or viruses cause a middle ear infection. The pain of an infection develops suddenly, often after a cold has started. A cold can cause the eustachian tubes, which lead from the ear to the throat, to close or narrow. When the fluid from the cold has nowhere to go, it pools in the middle ear. This creates a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and viruses.

You can have fluid buildup without infection. This is called otitis media with effusion. Swollen eustachian tubes also cause this condition.

What are the symptoms of middle ear infection?
The main symptom of a middle ear infection is earache (mild to severe). Infants and young children may pull at their ears and cry. They may also have trouble sleeping or hearing. You may notice thick, yellow fluid draining from the ear. This happens when the eardrum has burst and fluid flows out of the hole in the eardrum. Fever is sometimes present.
When fluid buildup occurs without infection (otitis media with effusion) children often say their ears feel "stuffy" or full. Children with this condition may not hear well, though hearing usually returns to normal after the fluid is gone. Some children who have fluid buildup may not have any symptoms.


How is a middle ear infection diagnosed?
Health professionals discover middle ear infections by talking to you about your child's health history and performing a physical exam. An ear exam using a pneumatic otoscope, a handheld tool, allows a health professional to look inside the ear for signs of infection.


How is a middle ear infection treated?Treating the symptoms at home may be all you need to do for both middle ear infection and fluid buildup without infection. Up to 80% of ear infections get better without treatment.
Pain relievers such as acetaminophen (for example, Tylenol) can help relieve ear pain. However, do not give aspirin to anyone younger than 20 because its use may cause Reye's syndrome, a serious illness that requires emergency treatment.


Worldwide, medical experts are rethinking the use of antibiotics to treat ear infections. One reason is that many of these infections are caused by viruses. Antibiotics don't work on viral infections. Also, the majority of ear infections heal on their own without treatment. Another reason is that overuse of antibiotics can create bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. This means the antibiotics may have no effect on future infections.
Still, antibiotics are often given to treat middle ear infections. Some doctors prescribe antibiotics to treat all ear infections. Others may ask parents of otherwise healthy children age 6 months and older to watch their child's symptoms for a couple of days. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians recommend watchful waiting for otherwise healthy children 6 months to 2 years who have mild symptoms. If the child starts feeling better, antibiotics aren't necessary. If the child hasn't improved, you can start antibiotics.

Experts may suggest ear tubes for young children with fluid buildup (otitis media with effusion) that has gone on for 3 to 4 months and who also have hearing loss. The tubes, surgically inserted through the eardrums, drain fluid in the middle ear and improve hearing. About 80% of children need no further treatment after tubes are in place.
Can frequent ear infections lead to hearing loss?
Repeated ear infections and ongoing fluid behind the eardrum rarely cause permanent hearing loss. They can cause temporary hearing loss. Hearing loss is of greater concern for young children because normal hearing is critical while developing basic skills, such as talking.

Tips for skin care

Tips for skin care

Summer requires a special skin care regimen and
extra protection from the sun's harmful UV rays.

Follow these 10 steps to beautiful, healthy, moisturized summer skin.


When you're in the midst of battling parched winter skin, it's easy to forget that summer presents its own skin challenges. Summer offers a reprieve from forced dry heat and lack of indoor humidity, but skin faces a different challenge during the summer. Exposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun can wreck life-threatening havoc in addition to causing skin to age prematurely.

Spring offers the very best environment for skin. Its moderate temperature range and the high humidity from April showers can lull you into complacent neglect toward skin care. Spring's optimal conditions provide your skin with a welcome rest between struggling to retain moisture during the arid winter months and the assault of the summer sun. When the temperature heats up and you start spending more time outdoors, it's time to rev up your skin care regimen again.

As the dog days of summer approach, the key to beauty from the inside out is to lighten up. As your mood lightens from extended daylight hours, it's time to lighten up on work, clothing, food and beverage, and lotions and potions. Follow our tips below, and pay special attention to the sun prevention tips and tricks.

* Beauty begins on the inside. During the summer months, trade your heavy stews and soups for lighter fare, including grilled fish and fruit salads. Retire the hot chocolate in favor of iced green tea, and say goodbye to the hot spiced rum for a few months, replacing it with a cool, refreshing wine spritzer or frozen fruit daiquiri.

* Summer signals the beginning of increased activity, which causes you to lose moisture through perspiration. Drink water before you feel thirsty. Once you feel thirst, you're already slightly dehydrated. Carry water with you everywhere, to eliminate the possibility of drinking tap water.

* Chlorine doesn't play nice with skin, hair and nails; it leaves them dry, brittle and flakey. It adds an additional load to your body—another chemical for your body to assimilate and eliminate. Wash off chlorine as soon as you step out of the pool or hot tub. Add a water filter to your shower to trap chlorine and other chemicals. You'll notice a difference in your skin within a few days.

* Apply creams and lotions with a high Sun Protection Factor (SPF). Lightweight summer clothes don't completely block the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. In fact, lightweight clothing offers very little SPF—usually around 8. When you spend concentrated time in the sun, apply a water-resistant or waterproof sun block, and use a sun block with zinc on your face. Reapply often. Even with sun block, you'll get some color in the summer. Until you do, fake it with one of the many self-tanning lotions on the market. Whatever you do, don't attempt to get a suntan the old-fashioned way. Wear a wide-brimmed hat to protect your hair from the sun and to provide additional protection to your face.

* If you work in the garden, apply protection against insects, and reapply as necessary. Not only will you avoid unsightly bite marks and annoying itching, but you might also avoid debilitating disease. Don't take unnecessary chances. If the thought of applying DEET to your body makes you shudder, apply one of the natural insect repellants containing citronella and other natural essential oils. When you get bitten, avoid the urge to scratch. Scratching only intensifies the itching sensation, and it can lead to infection and scarring.

* Grow an aloe plant. They're impossible to kill, even if you have a brown thumb. Having immediate access to an Aloe plant is like having a drugstore in your backyard. Break off a leaf and apply the gel on the inside to provide instant relief from sunburn, insect bites, burns from outdoor grilling, and minor skin irritations. Keep another plant in the kitchen for burns. Nothing works as quickly as Aloe to stop the pain.

* Lighten up on your facial moisturizing routine. Instead of dry flakes, your skin faces eruptions from clogged pores during the summer. Clean your face meticulously, several times each day if necessary. Switch to a lighter moisturizer with fewer emollients. Consider a tinted moisturizer to eliminate the extra layer of make-up foundation. If you have good skin, show it off during the summer instead of hiding it under layers of concealer, foundation and powder. Allow your natural radiant skin to shine through without obstruction.

* Hands and feet require special care in the summer. Keep nails short to enjoy summer sports activities. You don't want to interrupt a set of tennis to repair a broken nail. You may get calluses from gardening and racquet sports. Exfoliate hands and feet regularly, and don't lighten up on rich, emollient hand and foot creams, because parts of the hands and feet contain no oil glands. If you visit the beach, take a long walk on the beach. No manmade treatment equals the exfoliation power of feet pounding against sand. Walk long enough, and your feet will sport a baby soft finish.

* With your legs exposed during the summer, you may tire of daily shaving. Consider one of the sugar-based wax formulations. It may take several applications to master the technique, but after a few false starts, the efforts are worth the learning curve. The advertisements will entice you with a month or more of hair-free soft, baby skin. If you get two weeks of silky smooth skin, consider yourself lucky. Follow-up each waxing session with a moisturizer containing aloe to avoid skin bumps.

* If your winter lip balm didn't contain sun protection, make sure that your summer lip balm does. Chapped lips are annoying, but sunburned lips are painful! Reapply often, particularly when you're on the water in an open boat or riding in a convertible. Wind is just as damaging as sun, and the two together ensure a bad burn for unprotected skin. ur summer lip balm does. Chapped lips are annoying, but sunburned lips are painful!

Spiced Beef Recipe: Easy To Cook

Spiced Beef Recipe: Easy To Cook


Once popular all over Britain, now this only seems to be found in Ireland and occasionally the Midlands. It’s commonly known as huntsman’s beef. For centuries meat would have been preserved by salting, and this method is more than likely a development of that process with some festive spice added.

Ingredients

    * 1 pound shin beef
    * 1 tablespoon oil
    * 2 cloves anise
    * 1 teaspoon sugar
    * Seasoning:
    * 3 tablespoons soy sauce
    * 1 tablespoon water
    * 1 clove garlic
    * 1 teaspoon sherry
    * 1 teaspoon pepper
    * 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

    * Heat a small pan just big enough to hold the meat flat with the oil.
    * Brown the beef on all sides, turning it carefully.
    * Add the seasoning and when it boils turn the heat very low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
    * Place the pan on an asbestos pad.
    * Add the anise and continue to simmer for one hour.
    * Be careful not to bum the meat.
    * The water should not evaporate because of the steam generated in the cooking.
    * However, if the pan becomes too dry add 1 tablespoon each of soy sauce and hot water.
    * Add sugar, turn the meat and simmer for another hour.
    * Remove from the pan and cut into 1/4 inch slices and arrange on a platter.
    * Pour the sauce over the meat and serve very hot.

Tips to Have Safe and Healthy International Trip

You can travel whole world in just 36 hours by air. Distances have reduced a lot so as airplane fares and you can travel any where you want in reasonable cost. The trend of traveling to other countries has increased among people. Some travel just to spend vacations, few travels because of business tours, and other travel to meet their relatives living in other countries. But one astonishing thing that is observed is that travelers also act as vehicle to transfer diseases from one place to other. It is responsibility of every traveler to take care of recipient countries culture, environment and people.


Now governments of many countries are taking steps to stop transfer of  disease and infections by fighting against unhealthy and unhygienic situation of country. This can be done by properly fixing the sanitary system of county. Proper vaccination, precautionary measurements, and prevention from infections and diseases can reduce the danger as well. Moreover timely diagnosis and prompt treatment of disease can reduce possibility of spread of diseases.

Before you are packing up your bags to travel abroad first thing to do is to meet your doctor 4-6 weeks before you leave.

Get your proper check up and look for any pre existing disease or disorders.

Get proper vaccination of every possible contamination.

Explore what you are allergic to that may include any food, medicine or any other thing.

Look for all possible risk factors as;

* Contaminated or unpurified food or water in recipient country.
* Environmental conditions that may not be suitable for you.
* Presence of germs, parasites and other wild life that you might be allergic to.
* Sexual intercourse that might increase risk of getting disease.
 

Some people are more prone to diseases as children, older people, pregnant women and weak fellows who have lesser immunity to disease as compare to healthy people.

It is very good habit to look for regular check ups from your doctor. Especially when you are going abroad get an appointment and get up to date vaccination. Vaccination is good prevention strategy that keeps one away from most of the contagious diseases and disorders.

The International Health Regulations have strong rules for the international travelers to get their vaccination and they ask for their vaccination certificate against yellow fever, small pox, and cholera and many other diseases like these. Moreover you will find scores of information regarding health tips and vaccination for international trips on other web sites.
