 Tart
cherries contain anthocyanins and anthocyanidins,
health-promoting plant pigments (phytochemicals) that
have strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
properties. Consuming tart cherries daily for 90 days
reduces both systemic and local inflammation, according
to research from the University of Michigan. Meanwhile,
a study at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore found
that consumption of the anthocyanins extracted from tart
cherries reduced inflammation and pain behavior in rats.
Top your whole-grain cereal with tart cherries or add
them to a spinach salad.

Drop the doubt
 With
no physical form, doubt can restrain you more surely
than the strongest steel chain. Yet doubt is nothing but
a thought, and has no power other than the power you
give to it.
Although doubt can stubbornly hold you back, you can do
something even more powerful. You can let go of it
entirely.
Doubt is nothing more than a thought. Any doubt, with a
mere fraction of an effort, can be forever gone the
moment you decide to remove it.
If you fight against your doubt it grows stronger and
more resilient. Yet when you simply release it and empty
it from your mind, doubt falls away from you and quickly
withers into nothing. There is not one single doubt that
is permanently attached to you. Any doubt you have is
yours by choice.
Let each of your doubts fall quickly and easily away. In
the place where they once lived, choose instead to hold
and nurture thoughts of positive, empowering confidence.

 "Your
work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the
only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe
is great work. And the only way to do great work is to
love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep
looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart,
you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great
relationship, it just gets better and better as the
years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t
settle."
