Feeling slighted these days? Like your boss just doesn't notice or appreciate your hard work? Well, my only suggestion is to either start looking for a new job or do your best to not let it get to you. Or else.
British researchers found that people who feel as though they are always being treated unfairly at work or at home are at an increased risk of heart attack. By asking a few thousand civil service workers to rate how they feel in response to the following statement: "I often have the feeling that I am being treated unfairly," the researchers discovered that feeling unappreciated has a significant effect on a person's risk of heart attack.
In the study, the participants were asked to rate how they felt they were treated at work; based on a scale of 1 through 6 (1 being treated the most fairly and 6 being treated the least). After tracking these participants for 11 years, the results revealed a much greater incidence of heart attack in the people who believed they were treated unfairly at work than the results expressed by those who felt as though they were treated fairly.

I am that I am (Hebrew: ???? ??? ????, pronounced Ehyeh asher ehyeh) is one English translation of the response God used in the Bible when Moses asked for his name (Exodus 3:14). I am that I am is one of the most famous verses in the Torah. Hayah means "existed" or "was" in Hebrew; "ehyeh" is the first person singular present/future form. Ehyeh asher ehyeh is generally interpreted to mean I am that I am (King James Bible and others), yet, as indicated, is most literally translated as "I-shall-be that I-shall-be."
I will admit that for the majority of my life, I had no idea what all that meant! I wondered, "What is the Great I Am?" This absolutely never made any sense to me. But as I matured spiritually, I one day at the epiphany I had been waiting for. I am what ever it is that I proclaim I am. I finally "got it." If I am in control of my destiny, my reality, my experiences as a human, then it follows that I am that I am.
The good news is that the power of I AM never fades, so we can make it work in our favor by simply changing our I AM statements. Perception is reality. How we perceive ourselves becomes the way the world perceives. Of course, the manifestations of a lifetime of self-loathing proclamations will not disappear with the change of one sentence uttered one time, but if you give your positive I AMs the dedication, belief, feeling and support you have your negative ones, you will change your reality! Try it!
Are you fatter than you think?
Obesity is a problem in this country and around the world, and I don't think anybody would argue about that. But there seems to be a gap between how many people believe there's a general and growing problem with weight and how many believe that they are at all included in that problem. A whopping 66% of Americans are overweight or obese, but only 12% have ever been told by a doctor that they need to lose weight. And it seems that although many people realize they are overweight (with or without the doctor telling them), many don't believe they actually fall into the category of obese or even morbidly obese when in fact they do. Why is this gap so big? Although I'm big on personal accountability, if doctors aren't telling their patients exactly where they stand health-wise then that's the most obvious issue.
Hacking into a child's brain
Alternative & Green Health, Nutrition & Supplements
Mark Woodman has a seven-year-old son named Caleb who exhibits a unique issue involving the brain. Caleb has SPD, or sensory processing disorder, and has been going through an extensive program intended to "hack" his neurological interpretations. So what does that mean? Well, his son's brain does not interpret what he hears, sees or feels like other people's. In fact, some senses are ignored altogether.SPD can also be seen in some individuals who are in the autistic spectrum. Since we know that autism is a lot more prevalent than we thought, this type of "brain hacking" treatment could become a routine means of therapy in the future. The author confides, however, that his desire to help his son in this way has not gone uncriticized by some readers. Opponents of this method say he is trying to "fix" his son's brain when nothing is really wrong with it in the first place. They think he is just unique.
