How to Beat the 3 PM Slump

http://goodmenproject.com/health/how-to-beat-the-3-pm-slump/

“Coffee and tea are great in moderation, but overuse of them when we’re tired can backfire. I know I often hit that three p.m. wall of tired and it would be easy to grab a cup of yerba mate. Relying on caffeine to pick you up sets you up for interrupted sleep and higher levels of stress hormones like cortisol. If you’ve heard of cortisol in passing, you may have heard that it’s a stress hormone.  It’s helpful when we are in a crisis and need to get things done in a hurry. It hurts when we are secreting it all the time; our bodies are in permanent panic mode—who wants to live like that!”

“Instead: Have a glass of water, eat an apple, grab a few mints, go for a walk, laugh, have some protein, nap.”

11th Solistice in Times Square

solstice-yoga-yogis-500x281

A bit late, but nice to document.

Last week there was a yoga event in Times Square, “The 11th Solistice in Times Square.”

Event organizers drew over 15,000 yogis for the 5 yoga classes that took place in the middle of Broadway between 43rd and 48th streets. The heavily sponsored spectacle likely lured in about 10,000 more spectators throughout the day.

The Bible Miniseries

bible

I spent the last few nights watching the miniseries The Bible. Throughout the ten episodes you will learn a lot and experience many different epics of The Holy Bible. It is a wonderful testament to the enduring power of the incredible text. I highly recommend watching it.

Check out the video below for the scene depicting David, the shepherd from Bethlehem, taking down Goliath, the giant Philistine warrior.
