Seven Helpful tips for 2013

 Hana’s Seven Helpful tips for 2013
1.  Gratefulness – just be thankful of what you have
      Be you and be grateful when you wake up in the morning. Say,  “I am alive’ and  Thank you’.
2.   Hydrate your systems: Giving your systems a generous boast everyday. Drink water with gratitude.
      Drink A glass of warm water in the morning, more glasses of water, green tea , etc. during  the day.
3.  Smile
     It’s the magic of youthfulness  and sometimes a  smile can enhance joy to others or even can save someone else life.

4. Mind your mind power !

Create or Build an imaginary world of your choice and live there and have fun, laugh and be merry – it’s your own world!

‘When the individual mind touches the Universal mind, it receives all its power’ – the Secret

when encountering situations or any circumstances: –

Situations in life like – marital differences, family, career, health or financial instability — acknowledge it . Everybody shoulders baggage’s of problems but remember to get back into your own world – Your Castle in the air and rule with joy. Sooner or later, you will attract the right solutions to fix that problem.

!!! Compete against yourself…focus only on your dreams, your visions, and take all competitions out of the equation!

5. Eat

‘Eat your breakfast like a King, lunch like a Prince and dinner like a Pauper’

Include  fruits and Vegetables in your diet. Eating fruits and greens every day helps us stay healthy. It plays a role in the prevention of diseases. Fruits and vegetables have micronutirients and phytonutrients which are not found in animal food.

According to one my doctor’s advice ‘Supplements can not replace nutrients from whole foods’.

6. Exercise –

     Force yourself to do some fat burning  exercise  or any exercise to give your body a curve or a six pack to feel good. When you feel          good you feel happy and when you are happy you can do wonderful things.

7. Sleep well and be appreciative of what you have!

Thank you,

Dark Chocolate Drink with dried salted orange peel

Chocolate is divine for me. Everyday, I nourish  a ‘Bounty pack’ after breakfast or lunch… it makes me feel good…

IMG_20130624_084744

 

Sometimes, making a chocolate drink pops up into mind so I tried this recipe which is well-balanced to my own preference: sweet, sour and salty.

When we were in Mallorca, Spain on November 2012, we tasted the best chocolate drink according to our tour guide. I enjoyed slurping and savoring the cup of chocolate. The weather’s chilly and cold that sipping a hot drink enlivens  my bones and muscles…

Here at home… I have thought of this wonderful mixture (:)

Dark Chocolate Drink with preserved dried salted orange fruit peel

You may not like the image but when you feel like trying, let me share you the recipe and how it looks.

or … try this combinations Dark Chocolate Drink with lemon fruit zest and fresh lemon juice

 

IMG_20130629_145321

Slice part of the fresh lemon fruit and squeeze into the chocolate drink. Stir and savor!

 

Before you prepare your chocolate drink, you need hot water. Place some chocolate blocks or chocolate powder into your cup and pour some hot water. Stir until the chocolate is perfectly mixed smoothly together.

then add into your chocolate mixtures —

1)   2 or 3 small pieces of  the preserved dried orange peel into the chocolate

or

2)  fill your chocolate drink with some fresh lemon zest and squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice .

Let stand for at least few minutes.

Sip and savor the chocolate drink. Feel; experience the difference 🙂

Have a great tea time (:) with thanks.
