A TOUGH LESSON

ACCEPTANCE

Sometimes we may have to walk away from situations or toxic people, we may try our best to work at a situation, to listen and support others but sometimes we get no where. 

There is a saying sometimes we have friends for a reason and others for a season and sometimes for a lifetime and the earth keeps turning and nothing stands still for it can't be stormy forever it does come to an end. For only when you have gone through tough times, you can look back and understand why those circumstances came about and why this had to be. 

No matter what, genuine friends stick with you and accept we all have a right to our own opinions and these might not be compatible with one another however the thread of unconditional love never breaks no matter what. 

For those we have walk away from and for those who have walked away from us accept it, they have their own life path to follow we've done our interaction with them let them go now. We cannot interfere in others’ destiny we are not allowed to, for if we are not meant to we will be taken away from them one way or another. Only if we are meant to be will we be there. The fly in this ointment is free will nobody or nothing can make us do anything but we can make the right choices by listening to our hearts for our heart is the the seat of our soul and it knows the truth and the path we need take. One of the hardest if not the most so lessons in life is 'Acceptance ' but when you do ‘accept’ a block will lift from your life you will feel better......until the next life lesson comes along 

"Acceptance"

"See yourself and others through the eyes of the angels, with unconditional love and acceptance. In this way, you inspire and lift everyone to their highest potential."

I often write during the night as I do automatic writing and channel  philosophy from Spirit and last night this message came through. I had been seeking the answers to a question I had asked and this was my answer.

"It's necessary as we grow more spiritual to undertake challenges, this happens not just in our present lifetime but in ALL our lifetimes, to undertake all kinds of pain. Of all those emotional is the hardest of all for in emotional pain the message and lesson within touches the soul. Physical pain only affects the earthly body and can be solved, there are many advances in medicine to deal with this. Only a kindred soul who has gone through and felt  emotional pain has the skills and experience to empathise and can truly unburden others. 

As you develop spiritually you will do more good by allowing others unburden their emotional pain onto you for you are the key to their release. This undertaking is tough but necessary your time just now is making keys of which there are many. One day you will have a full set. See yourself as a seeker of knowledge. 

The day will come when you are akin to a sponge when you cannot take in anymore, it is then you will have achieved full spiritual growth. Do not fight this. Your lesson is acceptance, know this is so, remember one cancels out the other."

It's a very true saying no one can ever understand unless they have walked a mile in another’s shoes.

Remember too, "Compensation and Retribution for all souls" you will never go unrewarded for those you help

RESEARCH HAS SHOWN ENERGY DRINKS ARE NO MORE EFFECTIVE THAN A CUP OF COFFEE

These high energy drinks should never be given to children, for one they contain a lot of sugar and have high acidity levels so bad for their teeth but it's bad enough making children hyper with sugar they do not need stimulants. Research is now showing the stimulant qualities of these drinks is down to the high amounts of caffeine.

Article from the Daily Mail below.

Forget energy drinks - they're no more effective than a cup of coffee

• 'Overwhelming lack of evidence' that ingredients such as guaranaenhance physical or cognitive performance
• New research suggests only useful ingredient is a generous dose of caffeine

New research suggests it is simply caffeine, rather than added ingredients such as guarana or taurine, that make energy drinks effective

With buzz-word ingredients such as guarana and ginseng, energy drinks have been heralded for their mind and body-boosting qualities.
But according to new research, the only useful ingredient in beverages such as Redbull is caffeine.
The study, published in the Nutrition Reviews journal, found that while energy drinks often contain ingredients such as taurine, guarana and ginseng, there is an ‘overwhelming lack of evidence to substantiate claims that these ingredients boost performance’.
It has been suggested that these drinks enhance physical and cognitive performance.
But the new research casts doubt over this, suggesting the main benefit is probably down to a generous dose of caffeine.
Energy drinks often contain taurine, guarana, ginseng, glucuronolactone, B-vitamins, and other compounds.
The researchers went through dozens of articles that examined the effects of energy ingredients alone and/or in combination with caffeine.

With the exception of some weak evidence for glucose and guarana extract, there was little evidence substantiating claims that components of energy drinks, other than caffeine, contribute to the enhancement of physical or cognitive performance.

Earlier this year, a study found that energy drinks have up to 14 times more caffeine than other soft drinks.
Furthermore, doctors warned that children given energy drinks could pile on the pounds because they are not active enough to burn off the extra calories.

Research published earlier this year warned children should never be given energy drinks, only fruit juice, milk and water

They say energy drinks – which contain between 10 and 270 calories a serving – should never be given to children.

Instead they should be offered water to quench their thirst, and drink the recommended daily amount of fruit juice and low-fat milk with meals.
A hidden problem with energy drinks is caffeine, which can reach toxic levels up to 14 times greater than in other soft drinks. The stimulant has been linked to seizures, diabetes, heart problems and behavioural disorders.
Children’s doctors renewed warnings about energy drinks, and the potential harm from sports drinks, following an expert report by members of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Committee on Nutrition.
Dr Holly Benjamin, a lead author of the report, and a doctor at the Comer Children’s Hospital, part of the University of Chicago, said: ‘For most children engaging in routine physical activity, plain water is best.’
MailOnline has approached Red Bull for comment.

WHY YOU SHOULD FORGIVE AND FORGET

I find this amazing it's taken Joe Public to realise this and to even conduct a study on this. In my religion in Spiritualism we've always taught this and in Christianity also, it's good to forgive for holding on to past hurts only harms your own soul and I always believe you should be the bigger person and forgive. No war, dispute or argument can never be solved without dialogue and each life on earth is much to short to waste it with simmering anger and hurt underneath. So below in this article by the Daily Mail, is further proof to forgive and forget.

ACCEPTANCE

Acceptance 

In your heart sometimes

We have to accept

We cannot change things

Like 'Sorry'

'Acceptance'

Is a tough word to admit

This does not mean

You are beaten

It takes courage

To admit you were wrong

And courage 

To 'Accept' what is right

But if you truly believe

In your heart

What you feel instinctively is right

And if it feels true

Follow your goals

And realise your dreams

Why you SHOULD forgive and forget - it's good for your heart

• Those who thought about a hurtful event in a forgiving way were protected from spikes in blood pressure
• Hypertension increases the risk of heart attack and stroke

They say to err is human, to forgive divine. But new research has revealed that excusing people who have hurt you can actually boost your health.

Researchers from the University of California, San Diego, found those people who let go of their anger were less likely to see spikes in blood pressure.

They asked just over 200 volunteers to think about a time when a friend had offended them. Half of the group were told to think about how it had angered them while the other half were encouraged to consider it in a more forgiving way.

Forgive and forget? Those who do could be protecting their heart

The particpants were then all distracted for five minutes after which they were told to think about the event again in any way they chose.

The participants were wired  up to monitors, which took blood pressure and heart rate readings.

The team, led by Dr Britta Larsen, found the angry group saw the greatest increase in blood pressure compared to the forgiving group after the first ruminating session. The effect was seen later on despite having the brief timeout period to calm down. However, there was no differences in heart rate.

The authors said that although it was small study, their research - published in the Journal of Biobehavioural Medicines - suggested forgiveness could 'lower reactivity' to stressful events and even offer 'sustained protection' from the physical impact.

Short-term rises in blood pressure are not known to be harmful. However, over a longer period high blood pressure - or hypertension - increases the risk of heart attack or stroke.

Around 30 per cent of adults in the UK have hypertension although many are unaware of it as there aren't obvious symptoms. Those most at risk are overweight, are of African or Caribbean descent, consume a lot of salt, don't exercise much, drink large amounts of coffee and are aged over 65.

The NHS recommends that all adults have their blood pressure checked every five years.
