[VIP Insider]   Happy Friday, Friend!  Thought: “How you do anything is how you do everything.”  Tip: You don’t have to be perfect, which is great news because none of us is. Rather, making some effort -- however imperfect -- can make you feel better about how your body looks, feels and moves. In other words, “always something” beats the pants off “all-or-nothing”. And each action you take only creates more action. So, whether you’re putting in 40%, 60% or 80%, your best really is good enough!  Impact: Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds. Will you grow flowers, or will you grow weeds?   1.

Most Popular Blog Article This Week In his book 12 Rules for Life, Clinical Psychologist Jordan Peterson stresses the importance of routines, particularly as it relates to sleep, and more specifically, a consistent wake-up time. In fact, the first thing Peterson asks clients is if they wake up in the morning at approximately the time the typical person wakes up and at the same time every day. If the answer is no, fixing that is the first thing he recommends, as, in his view, waking up at a consistent hour is a necessity for overall wellness and well-being.

Make A Wish® [Make A Wish®] Wish mom Lamelle Ryman reflects on the healing impact of her daughter's wish.   My daughter Neshama had 18 cycles of chemotherapy and 28 days of radiation therapy. But chemo and radiation are only part of the picture when it comes to healing. There is a dimension to healing that goes far beyond medical treatment, and yet, is equally powerful and necessary. That is the emotional wellbeing – the mindset – of the person who is healing, and the people surrounding her.  And that’s where Make-A-Wish comes in.  Make-A-Wish was something I’d heard about my entire life and admired from afar. I never expected to have a personal connection with Make-A-Wish. But then, who does?  In the haze of the first few weeks following her diagnosis, when I learned that Neshama was eligible to make a wish, even though we were in the middle of what felt like a black hole, I felt a surge of happiness. “She gets to make a WISH?”  By providing a light in the darkness, Make-A-Wish helped us build our approach to the challenge of cancer. It showed us that even amid crisis, there can be moments of joy and hope. This became our family's paradigm for fighting cancer.  Just simply the experience of brainstorming with Neshama about her wish, saying, “You can make a wish to do anything that you want to do in the whole world, and there are people who are going to try and help make it come true” took her focus to a place of joy and hope. One moment she was contemplating wishing for a trip to Australia, India or Japan and the next moment she was imagining having tea with Emma Watson, JK Rowling, and Queen Elizabeth. Her imagination seemed endless.  Eventually, she honed-in on a wish that would combine two of her great loves — art and movies. Neshama’s wish was to make an animated short film. And, after an amazing collaborative process spanning several months, with the partnership between Make-A-Wish and Peter Reynolds and Tone Thyne of FableVision Studios, Neshama directed a four-minute animated short film entitled, “The Klumz.” The Klumzes are a bunch of mythical furry creatures that our family blames for everything, from a spilled glass of milk to toys blanketing the living room floor. In Neshama’s film, the Klumzes delight in making messes because they find them beautiful.  A wish brings hope back into a child’s life. And for a child fighting cancer, hope is essential. These children need us, and thanks to you and your support, we’ve donated over $2,000,000 to Make-A-Wish, helping grant more than 216 wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions.   8. Deal of the Week You likely already know that many health experts now agree that supplementing with turmeric is as crucial as it gets to providing revitalizing support for how you look and feel..  And here in modern times, over 3,000 peer-reviewed scientific articles have confirmed just how effective turmeric really is!  Here's the BIG PROBLEM though...  So many of the turmeric/curcumin supplements in stores and online potentially provide very little benefit to your body, if any at all.  Because the big issue research has revealed is that the curcumin found in most supplements today has extremely poor “absorbability” in your body.  Well, there’s a recently-discovered natural enhancement technology that has been shown to:  1) Dramatically enhance curcumin absorption in the body 2) Keep levels of curcumin elevated in the body longer  It’s called CurcuWIN® featuring the UltraSOL Nutrient Delivery System.  CurcuWIN® is winning the bioavailability battle, and what that means to you is FAR better, longer lasting curcumin action.  And you finally CAN get the highly absorbable form of turmeric – CurcuWIN – in one clean, powerful formula that’s independently tested to be pure, potent and safe!  It's called Ageless Turmeric™…  Ageless Turmeric provides you a full 250 mg per serving of CurcuWIN, the highly bioavailable, clinically-researched and patented turmeric utilizing the UltraSOL Nutrient Delivery System that provides up to 46 TIMES MORE curcumin absorption in your body.  ==> [Get Ageless Turmeric for up to 71% Off with Your FREE eBook and FREE Shipping](    If you have feedback or questions on your journey to better health and wellness, I’d love for you to find us on social media and join our [VIP]([Community](.  Here to help,  Coach Tim [Meet Coach Tim]     [company name](#)  [Customer Support](    Follow us  [Facebook]( [Instagram]( [Twitter]( [LinkedIn](    Shop Now  [Proteins]( [Collagen Protein]( [Immune Support]( [Healthy Living]( [Digestive Health]( [Anti-Aging](   #biotrust  [Recipes]( [Nutrition]( [Fitness]( [Lifestyle]( [Videos]( [Podcasts](  [Update Email Address]( | [Manage Email Preferences]( | [Unsubscribe]( | [View in Browser]( BioTRUST Nutrition, LLC, 4100 Spring Valley Road, Suite 325, Farmers Branch, TX 75244 This email was sent to {EMAIL} by support@biotrustnews.com
