Fresh Air
You spend most of your time indoors, breathing recycled air. You live and work in a hermetically sealed building, and you get around in sealed compartments like cars, buses and subways. In doing so, you deprive yourself of the revitalizing forces available to you in the earth’s atmosphere. A simple dose of fresh air can do wonders for your body and spirit! Hopefully, you can find some.
Stepping up to taking control

Touch
You are a social being. Like all humans, you require loving touch on a regular basis, and you will wither away inside when you are deprived of hugs, strokes and physical affection. Are you getting the touch you need to feel happy? Are your sexuality and sensuality being fully expressed? Are you GIVING enough touch to your loved ones?
Are you naturally a touchy-feely person? If so, you may use your body freely to communicate; and are uninhibited in physical expression.
On the other hand, you may be more reserved. You don’t often hug strangers or touch others during conversations, and you may find it hard to show physical affection, even if you are in a long-term committed relationship. And when you are upset, you will probably freeze from touch of any kind, which only further isolates you from your loved one.
Don’t judge your patterning surrounding the issue of touch. Merely observe it. Then ask whether your needs are being adequately met. Are you offending others because you violate their personal space with too much touching? Then consider toning it down. Or if you often feel lonely and unloved, you may want to open up a bit and give yourself more access to physical comfort and joy.

Colon Health
A clean colon can prevent a host of diseases. Look for ways to get and keep a healthy colon. The tips offered can be helpful. Following these detoxification suggestions may prolong your life.
Stepping up to take control
1.Eat fiber-rich foods, like raspberries, bananas, prunes, apples, oranges.
2.Eat vegetables, like broccoli, peas, celery and corn.
3.Eat grains, like brown rice, oatmeal, quinoa and whole wheat flour products.
4.Limit red meat consumption and steer clear of processed meats.
5.Hold the sugar.
6.Don’t hold it! If you feel a bowel movement coming, head for the bathroom and let it go. If you try to hold it in, built-up fecal matter can release toxins into your body, which has the potential to cause diverticulosis and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). Regular bowel movements are one of the ways your colon keeps itself clean and health.
7.Drink your eight glasses of water a day to cleanse your body. Inadequate hydration can lead to a build-up of toxins in the body. As those toxins accumulate, the risk for constipation, bloating, gas, IBS and fatigue increases.
8.Vitamin D is considered advantageous to maintaining a healthy colon. You can get Vitamin D from 15-20 minutes of daily exposure to the sun and foods like bread, fatty fish, milk and cereal.
9.To keep your colon healthy, exercise is a huge part of the equation. By increasing the blood flow and circulation, your colon will get more oxygen.
Energy
Do you feel tired much of the time and lack the enthusiasm you used to have? Do you suffer from allergies, headaches, low-grade fevers, sore throats that won’t go away, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), irregular sleep patterns or pain or weakness in your muscles and joints?
These are all possible symptoms of energy drain—a condition that is running rampant in today’s society. Our 24-hour society is incompatible with anyone’s inborn energy level. The end result is that many are suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, a psychosomatic illness, or just a persistent run-down feeling.
Each of you has an energy style. There are three energy styles. You use all of these on a regular basis: Initiator, Contributor and Follow-through. One of these styles is probably very compatible and feels comfortable, while the others may be stressful and draining for you.
Your Initiator energy is used when you take charge of a situation. These are situations where there is no taskmaster forcing you to do these things. Instead, you see a need or an opportunity, and you summon up your inner energy to make it happen.
The Contributor style is used when you are assisting others in getting a job done. You are a supporter and a contributor.
The Follow-through energy can be compared to a bulldozer
