Why Do People Act Like That?

Jennifred Jones

Mom told me sometimes kids acted out or didn’t have any strength because they hadn’t been eating their vegetables…(essentially malnourished)

I think sometimes people just don’t feel good. They might not even realize it, they’ve lived that way so long, and their unwellness causes them to act the way they do.

Countless YouTube videos share real life-changing stories of a person’s quest for and recovery of their health – even though told by others it could not happen. They took up a better way of eating and noticed reversal of problems they didn’t recognize before.

Maybe all they had to do was start walking daily.

This is proof to me we were meant to be healthy and strong. If we take care of our bodies, they will serve us well.

I was one of the ‘walkers’. After 8 years at a sit-down job, I ached everywhere. Even the bottom of my feet hurt when I walked. One day contemplating my physical status, I thought, there’s nothing wrong with me. I’m not sick…and realized there was no muscle on the bottom of my feet from lack of walking…basically was walking on ‘my bones’. No wonder they hurt! I started walking one mile a day using a Leslie Sansone in-home walk video I’d found at the library and in two weeks all the aches and pains went away! Still was more work to do on my body, but that was a big start. I walked my way down one dress size and into my daughter’s ‘mother-of-the-bride’ new dress.

Next, I’d had lots of chronic skin issues that never went away. Still on my quest for health, I gave up the candies and Krispy Kremes everyone brought in to work. They’d try and share with me, but I said no thanks. I was keeping my goal. Went down another dress size and much improvement to my skin.

I believe our bodies have been designed to be well and get well when sick. We were not designed to be chronically sick and in pain and when we are, we need to reconsider aspects of our lifestyle.

My health is a journey, but I feel so much better.

Are you on some kind of health journey too? Keep on it. You will find your answers, and you will be changed.

Good and Counterfeit Money

Jennifred Jones

Back in the day when only cash was used…

Bank tellers were trained in a very simple manner – learn what the real money looks, feels, and smells like and you’ll recognize counterfeit immediately.

This simple method works in many other areas.

Take a bite and chew the sweetness of an organic apple. Yum! Bite into a pesticide sprayed apple and experience the bitter taste on the skin. You’ll see.

Eat a slice of homemade cake using your own flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. True flavor! Premade and box mixes have the customary smell and bitter flavor of the BHA and BHTs added for preservation.

Real vanilla extract does not smell or taste like imitation vanilla flavoring.

Tempered solid steel tools, nuts, bolts and screws won’t break into pieces or lose their shape when the craftsman uses them. Imitation metals will and can be dangerous to use.

Even ideologies, philosophies, religions need to come under the counterfeit test…the test of histories past, civilizations won and lost, good and bad outcomes.

We are responsible to train ourselves to recognize right vs wrong, good vs. bad, healthy vs unhealthy. This comes through reading and learning from the past, studying and observation of events and peoples today, and thinking through what the future might look like depending on which is chosen.

We have been given a good brain. Let’s train it, use it, keep it sharp!

Decide not to let others do your thinking. Teach yourself. Learn. With practice, we will come to recognize good intentions and bad intentions even within ourselves.

Grow and see how much good you really do have to offer.

It’s there!

Thoughts

Jennifred Jones

Could my thoughts help your thoughts?

Could what I think about be translated into something beneficial to you?

That’s all an idea is. It is a thought. It grows a tiny bit, and an idea begins to emerge. Then more thoughts come and are added to the original thought. Sometimes others will add their thoughts to your thoughts and make a powerful idea!

Observe your thoughts. Develop the good ones. See where these thoughts might take you.

Don’t be afraid to think differently. How many great inventions came because someone thought differently? The sewing machine, the horseless carriage, the telephone, electricity, the light bulb, batteries, bridges…computers, YouTube, Instagram, Venmo, PayPal…   These are things we use every day! (They’re almost a requirement for living in most of the world and we are thankful for them).

Where might your next thought lead you…Where might it lead someone else?

Share your good thoughts!
