In a recent recorded interview with Dr. Oz giving his guidance on personal development I heard him say that since he was a young medical student he took ten percent of his earnings and placed it in a bank account to save his peace of mind.

Dr. Oz went on to explain this money was not put aside for any form of future spending. This money was put aside so that he always knew he had some money in the bank so he was never stressed to work in desperation for money. As a result the presence of these savings gave him peace of mind.

He created a peace of mind savings account.

Do you have a peace of mind savings account?

Your friend on the journey,

P.S. It was in this magazine I got the CD that contained the interview with Dr. Oz.

If you are curious, I wrote about this healthy eating concept  in my workbook Simplify Healthy Eating Habits. Today I am going to post the original simple and easy to apply article on this site where I have never published it before. Enjoy!

Follow the Colors of the Rainbow to Make Shopping for Healthy Foods Easier

Too often, the idea of eating healthily is made out to be hard work. But it doesn’t have to be.

Most of us know by know that there is such an abundant choice of fruits and vegetables that once you choose a variety, you are sure to find one whose taste you really enjoy. But how do you make sure you are getting a wide variety of these delicious natural foods? Before I give you the answer, have you heard that it is not only the green and orange vegetables that are good for you?

Many people don’t know this, but research now suggests that all colors of fruits and vegetables indicate a special characteristic of the food that is great for the body to ingest.

For the science minded: the phytochemicals that sustain the plant’s health (and our health too, when we eat the plant) are the source of a plant’s unique colors. Remember how in school we were told that chlorophyll causes ‘greenness’ in plants?

Now, to answer the question, “How do you make sure you are getting a wide variety of these healthy, life supporting fruits and vegetables?” Think of the colors of the rainbow when you shop the produce aisle and when you prepare a meal. Choose fruit or vegetables that are different in color, whenever possible.

For example, red tomatoes, orange carrots, yellow peppers, green salad fixings and blueberries and so on…

What about indigo and violet? Red cabbage is more violet than blue. And don’t forget about eggplants and delicious dark grapes. Try following the rainbow when you shop locally today and do not forget the value of white food, the mixture of all colours think of garlic, white onions and potatoes.

If you like the ease and simplicity of this tip to help you shop more stress free and eat better you will want to check out my inexpensive e-workbook Simplify Healthy Eating Habits.

Best of Health to you,

I guess my mind has been a bit over occupied (illness in the family etc) and I misplaced the drive (at least I thought I did) at the printers I use but when I phoned the printers the owner said he has lots of drives that were left behind but not one that matched my description.

So I had to come to terms mentally and emotionally with the loss of the drive. This was easier to do since I have an easy to use Seagate 500 GB Portable Hard Drive I back the USB up into the portable drive usually on a weekly basis.

To avoid the same stressful experience I took a new kingston USB drive and I did something very simple to help me make sure that if I misplace my drive again the print shop owner or anyone else who finds it can contact me. I put some masking tape on the drive and added my Name and Phone number.

Maybe, this may not work but it gives me a better chance in the future of someone being able to contact me.

Of course, another even better solution would be for me to buy a flash drive that looks like a real house or office key (like this model) and put it on my key chain. This I think will be my next step.

Please share this simple stress management solution. It could save someone a lot of anxiety. Someone like me if I read it in the past

Best Wishes,

David
