K, I know that I said this was a "psychology" blog, but I have decided (since I have too many other applications/blogspots, and I would like to simplify things), that I am going to end up using this blog to discuss and post things about physical issues and solutions as well as mental and emotional. And besides, what does it hurt? You've heard that the 3 sides of the triangle tie into each other in so many ways that you can't really separate them too much besides defining the regions in categories. (I am specifically referring to the scientific community's "Genetics X Environment (GxE)" movement as opposed to the fast-flying-out-the-door G+E.) By the way there is a book (that I really like) I read pieces from once that goes over that movement and its concepts quite well, but for the life of me can't remember the name of it. I will mention it in the next blog though (once I've found the book again). It's a fantastic read.
Anyhows, I found this really cool article of fun interest on http://www.prevention.com/health/. I am going to put it in here, as well as my (fun & silly), but very well-working code word set that helps me remember all the tips. It is a dental health article:

Think Positive
Most Important things:
Think Positive
Let Everything You Let In Today Be Healthy
Choose words that are creative, or building, of you, your surroundings, and other living creatures
If you aren't able to think positive about a certain person, group, idea, or thing,
I won't ask you to "avoid" it,
but DO ask you to do your best,
to fill your mind with things that ARE positive
so that there is "only" more room for things that are positive
Refer back to the second Important thing,
Let Everything You Let In Today be Healthy
Sometimes avoidance can actually cause more stress on a person,
so basically don't think of it today as avoiding -
just think about only positive things today -
without necessarily "avoiding"
Rather lets make it Replacing
Sometimes also, if you know you are a thinker (constant-can't-stop-it kind of thinker),
you will notice that trying to replace that thought that is influencing toward unhealthiness
may only lead you to another thought you may have thought positive,
until memory pops up that connects this new positive thought with the old unhealthy one
So go straight to the pure source,
rather than thinking of the positive thing,
expose yourself to it.
Smell that jar of mint, eat that raspberry, take that hike to YOUR favorite place,
and if it helps, imagine nature's ability to cleanse things and apply that -
thinking that nature "cleans the slate"
inbetween each person that has been there in the past, and you.
Then you will better be able
to have the nature and you be one.
