鬆肩法
1預備式：坐在椅子上或放松站立均可，兩手交叉抱胸。
2 搖肩：左右轉圈搖擺，肘尖的軌跡呈“∞”字形，大約100次。
3 轉肩：兩手自然下垂，手指自然伸直，肩膀用力由後向前轉圈（後—上—前—下—後）；之後由前向後轉圈，各100次。要領：動作緩慢柔和，手臂放松，垂直下墜，好像掛在肩膀上的鐘擺一樣，絲毫不著力。
4 開肩：本動作是在走路過程中完成的，走路時雙手隨步伐前後擺動，像解放軍叔叔的“齊步走”。手的擺動的水平高度在肚臍和胸之間，大約在中脘、上脘的位置。要領：步伐不要太快，要像散步一樣放松，手臂像鐘擺一樣擺動，手指自然伸直，全身放松。
以上動作1、2、3可連續做，每次大約半小時，適合於辦公室工作人員疲勞時緩解壓力，放松身心。動作4可在上下班走路時做，每次最好持續半小時。
鍛煉一般在10分鐘後就會感覺肩關節周圍發熱，30分鐘後會感到整個背部包括頸椎，都會有溫熱的感覺，說明通過運動陽經氣血通暢，頸椎、肩周、失眠、頭痛等疾病會得到緩解。在做動作半小時後，手指會有溫暖而柔軟的感覺，說明手三陰經逐漸通暢，心、肺、腦血管疾病都會有所減輕。
鬆肩法療效：
本方法簡單，但是功效卓著，長期鍛煉可以增進食欲，健壯脾胃，增強體格。我們看看為什麼參過軍的人體質都比一般人要好？他們面色紅潤、聲音洪亮、精神面貌和體力都是非常棒！其中一個重要的原因，那就是天天齊步走，暗合妙道，松開雙肩，脾胃之氣調暢，中焦脾胃是後天之本，它一旦強壯，自然有病祛病無病強身了。暈車本是脾胃病，用這種方法治療自然會收到良好的效果。
長生樹養生網溫馨提示：辦公室工作人員，精神壓力比較大，工作長時期不活動，難免心情郁悶，進而影響脾胃功能，食欲不振，消化不良，面色萎黃，睡眠不香。遇到這種情況，您可以在飯前飯後、睡覺之前花十分鐘做一下松肩，使氣血運行通暢，如果持之以恆，食欲逐漸就會旺盛，睡眠自然就會香甜。

5 Tips to Practising Persistence for Success
-------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.abundancetapestry.com/5-tips-to-practising-persistence-for-success/
There is a Buddhist saying that underscores the importance of
persistence, “In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the
stream always wins – not through strength, but through persistence.” I
like that it draws on nature to explain a fundamental idea on success.
(From my art journal: On practicing persistence)
Notwithstanding, if you have been reading personal development books, you will realize that persistence is an important key to a winning mindset. Repeatedly, you have been advised to follow up on your dream until you have attained success.
So you have been working on your dream for some time. However, somehow success is not in sight yet. Beginning to lose faith, you feel as if you are losing steam. It is not as if you have not summoned the courage to start on a new adventure. You have. Problem is that you have not anticipated the number of challenges that came along. It appears to be taking a long time. And now, you are tempted to give up.
The above scenario is a very common one. Many of us usually start with plenty of enthusiasm. In a rush of energy, we believe that we can conquer the world. However, as the everyday grind of working on our dream sets in, we find the ice-cream soda starting to lose its fizz, the ball its bounce and the perfume its fragrance. It can get weary sometimes. I can safely attest to that. Long hours at the laptop and at times, having to give up on social outings.
You already know that success does not always belong to the most intelligent, the most educated or the one with the most money. In fact, it belongs to those who come up tops in persistence. They show the most tenacity, strength and resilience. Persistence is dogged-determination. It is power. Persistence is the will to succeed, come what may. It is what separates the minority who eventually do succeed from the 90% majority who give up their dreams prematurely.
Three Feet from the Gold Ore
One of my favorite stories comes from Think and Grow Rich By Napolean Hill. In the story, a man was caught by the “gold rush” idea and went west to dig. After weeks of labor, he was rewarded by the discovery of the shining ore. However he needed machinery to bring the ore to the surface. So together with some friends and relatives, he raised enough money to buy the machinery.
The first car of ore brought the group some money. But he needed a few more cars of ore in order to clear his debts and to make a killing in profits. So they continued drilling. But to their dismay, they could not find any more ore. Finally, after trying very hard, they decided to quit. They sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars.
The junk man called in a mining engineer to do a review. The engineer’s calculations showed that the vein of ore could be found just three feet from where the group had stopped drilling. And that was exactly where it was found! The junk man became a millionaire overnight, because he did not give up and was wise enough to seek expert counsel.
5 Tips to Practice Persistence
1. Be inspired by role models. Get inspired by reading stories of people who have succeeded at all odds. Anytime when you feel like giving up, pick up a book on success principles from the bookstore or the library. Don’t stop reading.
2. Get a supportive group of friends. Having a group of friends who are also working on their dreams can be helpful. You can encourage each other, exchange ideas, brainstorm and share resources.
3. Get a mentor. If you already know of someone who can be a good mentor, do not be afraid to ask. Choose someone with a proven track record and who is willing to share and listen.
If you have to, hire a coach to pace you while you are working on your dream. Hiring the right coach is money well spent. Work with your motivational coach to identify your obstacles and find creative ways round them.
4. Practice visioning. Visioning is keeping your mind focused on the desired dream or future. It is not a weekend exercise but one that you should constantly practice everyday. You keep yourself reminded in various ways: visualization, vision board, using positive affirmations, subliminal messaging and so on.
5. Connect with a higher purpose. You are likely to have greater perseverance if your vision is one that serves and elevates humanity. Because it is a worthy cause, your dream becomes a meaningful one. Thus, you are likely to discover that instead of feeling lethargic, you feel energized and ready to go at the start of each day. A vision that is connected with a higher purpose garners universal support. You will be amazed with the level of help that you receive.
What It Says on my Creative Art Journal
One of the pages on my art journal that I have done is a reminder about practicing persistence. On it, I have written three of my favorite sayings. They are…
“70% of success in life is showing up”.
“Before you give up, ask yourself: can you already be three feet from the gold from where you are?”
“Energy is the essence of life. Everyday, you decide how you’re going to use it by knowing what you want and what it takes to reach the goal, and by maintaining focus.” – Oprah Winfrey
Be The Stream
Drawing on what Buddha has said, be like the stream. The stream always flows, never stopping until it wins over the rock.
There is only one thing that can happen when you follow up on your dream. Your mindset is a positive one. Your determination to succeed is strong. You simply refuse to quit. Every day, you put your mind to doing what is needed for your dream; no matter how repetitive, routine and mundane the task appears to be. Persistence pays!
