Today we had open DahnMuDo classes at the Sandy Springs center. It was so great to see people of all ages and physical conditions enjoying DahnMuDo. It is truly a martial art that brings people together instead of promoting combat. I hope everyone can make the DahnMuDo workshop this weekend!

5 steps to a healthier you
Getting healthy, physically and mentally, includes but is not limited to a healthy diet and exercise. Did you know that sleeping, challenging your brain and reducing stress are also necessary in building the healthiest you possible?
Together, they make up the five building blocks of a healthy you.
1.Healthy diet – Antioxidants, choline, omega 3 fatty acids, whole grains and plenty of water are all essential components in your daily meals. For the best mental results, start your day off with a balanced breakfast. Studies have shown that skipping this meal has a negative effect on your performance at school or work.
2.Sleep – Seven to eight hours of uninterrupted sleep each night is recommended. Less than this and your problem-solving, concentration, working memory and learning abilities are all diminshed
3.Exercise – Regular exercise for 30 minutes at least three times a week can increase your mental abilities as well as keep you physically fit. Studies show that when you exercise, new brain cells are created.
4.Challenge your brain – Give your brain a mental workout. Many studies have shown that reading, doing crossword puzzles, playing games and engaging in new activities develop neural pathways that make your brain more versatile, reducing your risk for dementia.
5.Reduce stress – Everyone experiences stress. When we are under stress, a hormone called cortisol is produced. Too much cortisol can wear down the hippocampus, which plays a role in our memory function. An easy way to reduce stress is exercise. Walking, meditation and yoga are low-impact, high results exercises you don’t need a gym membership to engage in.
Big changes are often the result of small actions. Do each of these things today. You’ll thank yourself tomorrow.

From Ilchi Lee (Excerpted from Principles of Brain Management)
You have probably been told at some time in your life to count your blessings. But have you considered that everything in your life is a blessing? Think of a difficult period in your life that has passed or a giant obstacle you have overcome. Consider how that event was a blessing to you.

From Principles of Brain Management by Ilchi Lee.
Are there conditions in you life that your don’t like but that never seem to change no matter how hard you try to make them change? Quit trying to make them change. Instead, see how you can change yourself in relation to the problem. Yes, there are some truly intolerable situations that are genuinely beyond repair. In this worst-case scenario, you can resolve within yourself to leave the situation entirely. But most human problems are not so absolute. More than likely, even small changes that come from within you will completely transform your situation. They can change the way you communicate with others and help you reformulate your methods of coping with problems.
