3. When you receive your monthly salary, let it stay overnight in your home without spending any of it, if you want to attract more money. And don`t count them!

4. One should not put/keep empty bottles, keys and hats on a table. This way the good fortune will run away from your home.

How to bring more positive energy into your life

 Tired of your boring life and routine job? Had enough stress as it is? Wanting to escape? These feelings are pretty common and nothing to be ashamed of. But how can you fight them successfully?
 There are a few ways you can start improving your life.

1. Learn to de-stress. Do something that relaxes you. For instance, make time for a hot bath. I`m sure you won`t regret it. Turn the TV off. Read a good book. Reading before bedtime improves the quality of your sleep significantly. Get some alone time if you are an introvert. 

2. Do something new and exciting you haven`t done but wanted to for a long time. This thing for me was bungee jumping. However be sure that you are ready for what you choose to do and everything that comes after it.

3. Add more light and fresh air into your home. Open those dusty windows. Prepare to open up the curtains. And when you do that, you`ll feel the energy moving faster around you. 

4. Walks. Walks. And more walks. Sometimes you`ll probably feel like it is too much you can`t handle at home. But whatever the reason is, my advice to you is to take a walk. Sometimes a 30-50 minute walk can do miracles to your wellbeing. It is therapeutic and can clear your head right away. 

5. Connect with people. Don`t wait around for people to call you - call them instead. Your friends and family will appreciate the gesture and your communication with them are adamant nonetheless.

6. Clean your home and fix or throw away broken things. According to the philosophy of Feng Shui, clutter and unclean spaces can attract negativity and can make the quality of your life worse. That`s why it is extremely important that you follow this advice. Fixing broken things is a very DIY activity so it can be helpful in learning how to do more things by yourself. 

Food you should stop eating

 Today I embarked on a very hard task. I am changing what I eat drastically. I believe the unhealthy food I`ve been eating so far has made my body very sick. I won`t get into much detail about that but I want to show you why you may feel sick as well. This article is dedicated to all the food which is extremely unhealthy and you should stop eating right away.

 1. Processed meat. All kinds of meat. 

 I`m not saying you should become a vegetarian overnight. But meat nowadays is full of all kinds of antibiotics which cause very unpleasant problems for the human body. You may experience antibiotic resistance as well later on. My bet is that the meat you buy from the store is what causes your health issues. If you don`t own a farm and you have no idea what the cows or the pork you`re eating have eaten before that, you better not taste it at all. This is why I decided to become a vegetarian. 

2. White bread!!!

 I probably can`t stress this enough, but white bread is bad not only for people with diabetes. It is hardly such a portion of food with which you can fully satisfy your hunger. Why? Because it fastly rises your blood sugar levels and then they drop again very fast which makes it impossible for you to feel really full. It also contains gluten which is yet another unpleasant thing. Gluten sticks in your stomach and stays there for longer than you would prefer. 

3. Coffee!?

 If you want your health back, stop drinking coffee! If you are taking any kind of medication and drinking coffee at the same time, it`s almost like you haven`t taken any medication. It negates all the positives of the other things you`re eating and drinking too. It uses up your vitamin C and other minerals in your system. Being addicted to caffeine is not a joke and you should consider quitting on time.

4. Sugar and sweets.

 While dark chocolate with a high amount of cocoa in it is considered somewhat healthy, all other types of sweets are not. Again, it is especially bad for people with diabetes, and also for anyone else. Drink your tea without sugar. Use honey instead. 

5. All types of sauces. Ketchup, mayo, etc. 

 They contain chemicals. Enough said. If you want to spice your food up, use natural spices and prepare what you think your food is missing by yourself. It is a great bonus that nothing beats the taste of a homemade sauce. 

6. Carbonated drinks.

 I don`t even feel the need to explain myself to that obvious point. I haven`t been drinking such drinks for years and I feel a lot better without them. 

Лоши навици, от които да се откажете през новата година

1. Пиенето на алкохол без повод.

2. Да се успивате.

3. Да нямате списък със задачи.

4. Да прокрастинирате. Както се казва - залудо работи, залудо не стой.

5. Забравяте да се обаждате на близките си по празниците.

Why don`t diets work?

 Most people who try all kinds of diets for losing weight, gain kilos again. But the worst is that way a person remains an eternal hostage of one of the biggest industries in our modernity, taking advantage of people`s weaknesses. If you are suffering from being overweight, this article will help you make your choice in order to get rid of this problem.

 So, you`ve decided to finally shed those unwanted pounds. This is wonderful. But even in the beginning prepare to face the accompanying phenomena: restricting freedom, constant hunger, compulsive calculation of each gram and each calorie. And also you`ll regularly have to spend a lot of energy and means. Quite obvious are the facts for the industry of the diets: the sum of 10 billion dollars and the sad 2 to 5 percent efficiency for their clients.

 Do you want to know why don`t diets work? It is very simple. The body is successfully fighting the loss of weight and fastly recovers it the first chance it gets. Think about it. You, a.k.a., your brain, armed with the limited life experience, is fighting against one beastly machine - your body, having millions of years successful fight for survival. Diets provoke great losses in your body and they are interpreted by it as a threat by death by hunger - very stressful conditions.

 Shortage of food leads to "saving mode":

1. The exchange processes slow down.

2. The brain reduces the production of endorphins - the most important neurotransmitters.

3. All the incoming food is stored in stock in the form of fat disposition - just in case it gets worse! Diets make the body store at every cost.

 So eat healthy food. You know what this means. Eat little and regularly. Instead of missing the breakfast and compensate it during lunch, eat more times a day. When the food is portioned, it gets assimilated more completely and effectively and it doesn`t load you with unwanted calories. Good luck!

Gifts you shouldn`t give EVER

 Many of us find it really hard to select a proper gift for friends and family when we have to give something. But there are gifts which you BY ANY MEANS MUST NOT give if you don`t want to insult people and ruin your relationship with them. 


 1. Second-hand clothes. That`s downright insulting and unhygienic on so many levels. If you`re going to give such a gift, better not give anything AT ALL. 

 2. Old and cheap perfumes. It makes it even worse if you`ve used the perfume. 

3.  Sharp objects such as knives. It screams basic and unimaginative. It insults the housewife of every home by implementing she doesn`t have the basic instruments for cooking.

4. Toiletries. Again, it is worse if they`ve already been used and it is catastrophic if they are passed their expiration date. After giving such a gift, be thankful if the person you`ve given this to speaks to you at all after that.
