    How to Make Herbal Tea šŸµ

    Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we’re makingĀ tea. All right, let’s do this. So firstĀ thing, let’s add someĀ pepper, a pinch. Now we add theĀ salt. We don’t know how it’s going toĀ taste, but know it’s going to be good noĀ matter what. So, the reason why we’reĀ adding pepperĀ andĀ turmeric is because it’s a commonĀ disinfectant. We just add a little bit,Ā and it should mix well with the stuff. So,Ā it’ll be going into theĀ water. Then we add some anise, not theĀ whole thing, cause you want to break offĀ the littleĀ seeds, cause it’s too strong. Otherwise, IĀ think two should be enough. I’ll find outĀ after I drink it how great this thing is.

    And then, what I like to do is add notĀ peppermints but actually fennel seeds toĀ improve stomach digestion. Just need aĀ littleĀ bit. Um, what else do IĀ do? I think that’s it. Let me just checkĀ what’s up here. Oh, I like to add someĀ cinnamon. Actually, I have a very specialĀ treat for you: it’s organic VietnameseĀ Cinnamon, let me just put a little bit inĀ there.

    Okay, and you don’t want your tea toĀ be flat, so what you do is you add someĀ organic sugars, and I happen to have aĀ well-priced monk fruitĀ sweetener. So, let’sĀ see, don’t be too kind with it, justĀ pour most of its in.Ā Just kidding, just a littleĀ bit. Okay, nice and sweet, so this way yourĀ drink is ready forĀ healing. All right, and then you have aĀ boiled tea kettle ready toĀ go. Then we pourĀ it into the cup.

    And then you take one of your refrigeratedĀ lemons, and you plop one in and hope forĀ the best. Oh, you can actually squeeze itĀ into your cup! Woh watch for theĀ splash back, and then you take your spoon,Ā and you give it aĀ stir. Of course, you get to do a poisonĀ test, so let’sĀ see.

    Let me know what you think of the Herbal Tea. šŸ’­šŸš€

    Become Mindful: Recognizing Cognitive Distortions and Finding Balance in Life

    šŸ’– Become Mindful Recognizing Cognitive Distortions and Finding Balance in Life

    The red balloon is similar to using the healing code. The author, Alexander Lloyd, asks the listeners a vital question. What would I do with the remaining minutes if I had a short life?

    I asked, “Why am I afraid of experiencing life?”

    Right off the bat, A memory of a friend popped into my mind. I don’t have to experience everything, but it played out through the mind. However, I need to keep my thoughts balanced cos I can overthink.

    For example, skiing is a frill-like kissing experience.

    I like to try many things, such as fresh mountain air, peacefulness, views, and travel while staying in a cabin. More so, skiing is a technique, an exciting challenge with the combinations of many benefits. Meanwhile, following my interests and experiencing life can either bring suffering or overthinking to its knees. When suffering is processed, I can focus on happiness.

    Moreover, the experience can lead to the desire to prevent holding on to anything. I can continue to have these thoughts in my mind, but it would be great if I stumbled upon something exciting. Something so great that it will push me to continue to seek instead of think. One way I can seek this freedom is through peaceful meditation. I am going to my inner being and seeing what my mind has been up to.

    šŸš€ Recognizing Distortions In My Thinking

    Returning to [[Recognizing Distortions In My Thinking]], continuing to overthink my experiences can lead to suffering. While working with my therapist, she shared a unique chart that has given me the ability to catch and question my experience. The chart has five columns: emotions, situation, thoughts, re-framing, and conclusion. It’s vital to question self-worth here. Knowing that [[I Am Worth it]] and justifying my worth [[Because I Exist]]. My day is at the max, and thoughts push me to think I am insufficient. Therefore, I need to keep an eye on the ultimate balance, a slice between what is real and present and what is a thought. Spending too much time with thoughts will take me away from the present moment and create much suffering in my system.
