Self-discipline, Stock, free and other

There is a research about stock saying that those who lost less in the market are the ones who are self-discipline. That is, they have a profit target and stoploss point. When the price rises above that target they sell decisively; when the price gets down below that point they also decisively abandon.

One of Chinese wisdom is "square outside while circle inside" when doing things, which means you should set up a principle first, within that principle you are free to do anything.

For example, if you are a potato chips lover, you should set up a principle, like one bag each week. Then you can eat potato chips every day, but totally not more than one bag each week, or finish a bag at weekend, but cannot eat in other days. If you don't set up any rule you'll eat as much as you want till you have terribly big belly. At that moment all diseases will come to you and your doctor will warn you 'never eat potato chips!" Then you cannot enjoy your favorite food any more.:(

Thus, you should have some rules to have a healthy life. Let's start from today. For instance, exercise at least one hour each day, 6 days for a week. Leave one day to be a lazy guy. Cooking at least three days a week to eat healthy food. Bonus yourself a meal for chocolate cake, chocolate or other cookies and dessert in a month while only have a bite size once a week if you want to eat.

When you setup some rules and abide by it, you'll become used to it. That's the way to form a good habit.

Sincerely

Anna.

1.Causes of disease: Pathogenic factors in TCM 6 evils - cold(IV)

In the past, cold disease always happened in winter. But today because of the air-conditioners it happens in all seasons. Besides these, drench, walking in water and exposure to wind in sweating may also cause cold disease.

When you eat cold/raw food or drink cold/iced beverage you are easy to be attacked by cold diseases, especially in cold environment.

Cold is Yin evil, so it hurts Yang Qi, tends to coagulate and contract.

When Yang Qi is impaired, it cannot warm and transform Qi. Many cold syndromes are caused by cold evil such as cold-pain in stomach and abdomen, vomiting, diarrhea, aversion to cold, cold hands and feet, profuse and clear urine, etc.

When cold evil attacks superficies it'll lead to aversion to cold, light fever, headache and body pain; when cold evil invades stomach it blocks digestion and the transformation of food, and the stomach feels full or pain; when cold evil attacks muscles and joints it'll cause pain in muscles and joints; when cold invades the limbs and joints, the tendons and vessels will become contracted, bring on stomach pain , headache and spasm of the limbs.

4. How to prevent cold and flu in this season

It's the burst season of cold and flu in Spring. By having a good lifestyle and right diet we can prevent or kill them at very early age.

Everything is reviving and generating in spring. We should disperse toxic heat stored inside our body. Go to the suburb or go for some sport activities to sweat toxin out.

Don't eat greasy, heavy flavor food. Eat fresh leafy vegetables, bean sprout and light flavor foods. These food help you promote Yang QI and generate healthy Qi.

In case you are attacked by cold or cold-wind. Try all the ways to sweat the cold out at the beginning. At that moment it just attacks your skin surface. Otherwise the cold-wind will go into your internal organs, attacking your lung, your stomach or spleen, etc. It will be very hard to get it out then. And it may cause very serious fever.

Some recipes for removing cold-wind.

a. Ginger and Brown Sugar Tea.

2 or 3 ginger flakes, 2 tablespoon brown sugar.

Place the above two material in a boiling water, boil for 10mins.

Drink one or two cups hot tea till perspiration.

When it almost done add in ginger strips, radish strips and scallion white strips.

Continue to cook additional 15mins.

Please note, when you began to perspire hide yourself in a quilt and have a good rest. Don't expose you to the wind and the cold.
