Bluebirds symbolize wealth and prosperity and are also seen as spiritual messengers that herald joy and prosperity. If a bluebird appears in your life, it is believed that you will be successful, happy, and your family will enjoy good health. In North America, due in part to increasing nesting competition from other species, these little birds declined in population between the 1950s and 1970s. Fortunately, there have been some people who worked tirelessly to help bluebird populations recover. In southwest Idaho, United States, lives 96-years-young A Larson, lovingly known as the “Bluebird Man.” Al was one of the first citizen scientists to dedicate time and effort to preserving these precious birds. He now travels more than 5,000 miles each summer to monitor bluebird nest boxes he built and installed across five counties in the state. Here is our Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai’s response upon learning of his amazing life-work. “From Supreme Master Ching Hai for Al Larson. Bluebird Protector, Wildlife Photographer. In Recognition of Life dedicated to the Protection and Conservation of Bluebirds, Inspiring Kindness, Nobility, and Nurturing the Community Spirit. With Compliments and Gratitude for Your Compassionate and Benevolent Commitment to Saving Precious Animal Lives.” She cheerfully presents Al Larson with the “Shining World Compassion Award” as we mentioned, plus US$15,000 for his love filled noble work in God's mercy. “I just want to thank the Supreme Master for the attention that She has given to my endeavors. " " I guess all I can say is thank you, again! It’s something that I had never ever dreamed of."
藍鴝鳥象徵財富與繁榮,也被視為靈性使者,預示喜悅與繁榮的來臨。如果一隻藍鴝鳥出現在您的生活中,據信您將成功、快樂,且您的家人將享有健康。在北美洲,一部分是因為和其他物種的築巢競爭加劇,在一九五○年代至一九七○年代間這些小鳥的數量減少。幸運的是,有些人孜孜不倦地幫助藍鴝鳥族群恢復數量。在美國愛達荷州西南部,住著一位九十六歲的阿爾‧拉森,他被親切地稱為「藍鴝鳥人」。阿爾是最早投入時間與精力保護這些珍貴鳥類的公民科學家之一。現在他每年夏天要旅行五千多英里,觀測他在該州五個縣建造和安置的藍鴝鳥巢箱。以下是我們摯愛的清海無上師得知他美好的畢生志業後所做的回應。「清海無上師頒贈此獎給阿爾‧拉森先生,藍鴝鳥保護者、野生動物攝影師,表彰其終身致力於保護與保育藍鴝鳥,鼓舞人心的慈愛與高貴及社區精神的培育。我們頌讚與感激您拯救珍貴動物生命,愛心與仁慈的奉獻。」她欣喜地��

Stress is a part of life. If you feel that you are troubled by chronic stress, there are several strategies to help you reduce and manage stress. Removing the root cause is a straightforward strategy to manage stress. If the news regarding an election makes you nervous and uptight, limit your time spent watching related news; if moving is the origin of the stress, comprehensively evaluate your situation again to see whether moving is really necessary.
Negative thoughts could intensify the stress and make things worse. Cognitive reframing is a powerful psychological technique that helps people to relieve pressure by changing their mindset to look at the bright side in a stressful situation. If you feel like others are asking too much of you or are exhausted by excessive obligations, perhaps it’s time to set boundaries with others to remove some sources of stress.
When you are dealing with prolonged stress, self-health management is vital. Here are some self-care tips that can assist you in managing stress:
Exercise is a very effective stress reliever as it has a wide range of health benefits. Any type or duration of exercise is helpful. Adequate sleep also contributes to keeping your stress at bay. In addition, it makes you less sensitive to stress-triggering catalysts.
A healthy vegan diet also lowers your stress level. When we are stressed, our bodies produce higher levels of cortisol – the primary stress hormone. A single meal containing animal products may double the cortisol level in your blood. By contrast, a vegan diet helps keep cortisol levels down.
Connecting with people in person is an excellent stressbuster. Hugging and holding hands releases oxytocin in our brains, which lowers cortisol levels and promotes feelings of bonding, empathy, and trust. Hence, we feel less stressed.
Finally, laughter can cool down your stress response, ease your stress symptoms by enhancing circulation and relaxing muscles, and improve your mood to deal with tough and stressful situations.
壓力是生活的一部分。若覺得自己苦於慢性壓力,有些方法可以幫您抒解並管理壓力。消除根本原因是管理壓力最直接的策略。如果有關選舉的新聞會使您緊張不安,那就限制看相關新聞的時間;如果搬家是壓力的根源,那就再次全面評估您的情況是否真有必要搬家。
消極的想法可能會加劇壓力使情況惡化。「認知重組」是一種強大的心理技術,可以幫人們在壓力大的情況下改變心態,看光明面而緩解壓力。如果您覺得別人對您的要求太高,或者因為義務過多而感到筋疲力竭,也許您該開始與別人劃定界線以消除一些壓力來源。
面對長期的壓力時,自我健康管理至關重要。以下幾項自
