The latest tips I've posted to TipDrop.
| Write down what you DON'T want. Then write its opposite. The contrarian method shakes up your patterns and helps you see how to change your circumstances -- and figure out what you want more easily. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| Feeling sad is supposed to be temporary. When you've had enough, switch gears by lending a hand to someone else. Refocusing your attention seems simple but helping others often produces feelings of happiness. Change gears to change moods! Tip Credibility: 7 |
| If you already have high blood pressure, keep your kidneys healthy. Drink lots of water daily, and add asparagus and cranberry juice to your regular diet; both will help flush your kidneys and keep them free of toxins. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| If you drink bitter herbs before you eat a meal, you will reduce your cravings for sugar and carbohydrates. Having freedom from cravings is one of the secrets to successful long term weight loss. Use tastes to help you overcome habit patterns. Tip Credibility: 6 |
| An ex-smoker is talking here. What worked for me was a homeopathic remedy called Smoking Cessation -- but you have to have stopped completely before you take it. The withdrawal only lasted 10 days and then it got easier. You can kick the habit! Tip Credibility: 5 |
| Grapefruit seed extract, antiviral herbs such as Olive Leaf extract and Oregano Leaf, start to fight the virus as soon as you notice symptoms. Several doses of Aconitum 30C several hours apart also help to stop the progress. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| The homeopathic remedy Gelsemium sempervirens 30C helps calm your anxiety, as does Rescue Remedy flower essences. Taking slow deep breaths and focusing on your immediate environment also helps. Tip Credibility: 14 |
| Establish a relationship quickly with the CS rep. Say "I know you are going to help me get this resolved today." Stay calm no matter how upset you are. Explain the problem and ask for what you want in return. Be clear and persist, but nicely. Tip Credibility: 6 |
| First of all, don't fight it. What you resist persists. Instead, replace the negative thought with a positive one. Replacing thoughts put you in charge of your mental stream, rather than being a passive recipient of whatever shows up. Tip Credibility: 6 |
| The words you most often will need as you enter a foreign country are the words in the native language for: Where is the bathroom? Help. Where do I find the bus (or taxicab? Know how to say these words, and have a dictionary for the answers. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| Be a contrarian. Most people know what they DON'T want, so make a list of all that you don't want. Then write a separate list with the opposite of each item on your "don't want" list. It's easy! Tip Credibility: 4 |
| Manukah Honey is one of the few things that will kill staph and MRSA infections. Apply it directly to the wound area with a gauze bandage, and change it several times a day. The natural antibiotic properties of the honey kill the infection. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| Panic attacks are common for animals who fear loud noises. Flower essences can help them remain calm and collected despite habits of reacting to the noises. The intervention of natural remedies works best if you give them in advance of the events. Tip Credibility: 3 |
| SAMe and St. John's Wart are herbal remedies that help with depression. Flower essences of Mustard, Gorse, Cucumber, Blue Daze, and Lavender all help brighten your mood and overcome depression. Tip Credibility: 3 |
| When you fail at something, you have a reason to get serious about your goals. You also know what didn't work. If you only have success, you can get overconfident and miss things that can make your project stronger and better. Tip Credibility: 3 |
| Don't be afraid to start over. Learn from what went wrong, and make a new plan that gives you more flexibility for change. And do ask for help (it's not a 4-letter word!) Tip Credibility: 4 |
| Have a plan and stick to it unless you need to course-correct. Tackle one item from your plan each day, and complete it before you move to the next one. Each day's success builds on itself until you reach your goals. Tip Credibility: 5 |
| Leaving the so-called security of a job can be scary , but if you want to be your own boss you need your own business. Follow your strengths. Build on what you know. Take measured risks. And stay in the playful energy of creativity. Tip Credibility: 3 |
| You can put the drops into the animal's water dish. A technique that works well for dogs, cats, and horses is to put some drops into your palm and offer them. If the animal doesn't lick your palm, place your hand gently against the muzzle. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| Give your special kids structure and plenty of room to grow. Feed them organic foods and avoid sugar and junk food; give them ways to move the energy in their bodies (yoga, dance, sports) and rather than be "authoritative" be a coach to your kids. Tip Credibility: 2 |
| When you're on a budget you might think you can't afford healthy food, but that's when you most need fresh local produce. Visit farmers markets and see what you can find that stretches your cash AND fills your tummy with good food. Tip Credibility: 5 |
| When you try to do too many things at once, you can't focus on anything. Pick ONE thing you want to do, and stay with it until it's done, or until the time you set aside for it is over. You'll get better results. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| Your first line of defense for panic attacks is not tranquilizers, it's flower essences. Try Emergency Trauma Solution for animals, Phobias, or Rescue Remedy. Fast, safe, and affordable solutions work best, without side effects. Tip Credibility: 6 |
