Grassy green Olive oil

Do we like olive oil? 

Of course, we love olive oil! 

Olive oil is a fat liquid obtained from olives /fruit of Olea europaea/ a traditional tree of the Mediterranean. 

The oil is produced by pressing whole olives. It is commonly used in cooking, whether for salad dressing or frying. It is also used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, soaps… There is limited evidence of its possible health benefits. 

The olive is one of three core food plants in Mediterranean cuisine. Olive trees have been grown around the Mediterranean since the 8th millennium BC. The largest producer of olive oil is Spain, followed by Greece and Italy. 

However, per capita national consumption of Olive Oil is highest in Greece ;

If we ever asked “Who is this “Alexa” anyway?” we are about to find out. Experts guess that more than 12 million Alexa smart home devices are in just US households.

Both, Google Home and Amazon Echo are part of the "internet of things - IoT", which is a term that refers to everyday things that have internet capabilities and sensors.
The internet of things includes smart devices or household appliances that work with Google Home or Amazon Echo which can function without direct human intervention or; those blinds and lights, that can be adjusted using our smartphone, the thermostat that we operate remotely through its own app, or even the coffee maker that is activated by the alarm clock are all realities.

We have two smart home voice; Google Home and Amazon Alexa /which includes Echo Dot, Amazon Echo and Amazon Tap/.

If you’re thinking of hack and turning your house into a smart home, you need to determine which the best choice is for you - Google Home or Amazon Echo.

Mindfulness - deeper awareness

Life can quickly pass us by if we are not focused on what matters. 

We have a bad habit of overlooking the positive and emphasizing the negative. Being mindful can help.

Mindfulness is a state of open, active attention on the present. If we are mindful, we carefully observe our feelings and thoughts without judging them as good or bad. Mindfulness can also be a healthy way to manage and identify hidden emotions that may be causing problems in our personal or professional relationships. It means awakening to our current experience and living in the moment, rather than dwelling on the past or anticipating the future. Mindfulness is frequently used in meditation and certain kinds of therapy. It has many positive benefits, including reducing harmful ruminating, lowering stress levels, improving our overall health, protecting against anxiety and depression. There is even research suggesting that mindfulness can help people cope better with social isolation and rejection.

How to Lead a Mindful Life, what is Mindfulness hacks? Ours experience of time tends to be subjective and is heavily influenced by our emotional state. Fears and insecurities about the past and the future can make it difficult to fully enjoy the present. The key is learning how to focus on the now and here and pay attention. Mindfulness is a tool that allows people to be more aware of their emotional and physical conditions without getting bogged down in self-criticism and judgment. Mindfulness done well allows one to regain control over destructive feelings and even to capture positive memories that can be savored at a later date.  

Intention is fundamental to any project, journey or endeavor. Related to intention is the concept of mindfulness; the awareness that arises through intentionally attending to others and oneself in a caring, open and nonjudgmental way.

In The Art and Science of Mindfulness authors Shapiro and Carlson are working on: 

Integrating Mindfulness into Psychology and the Helping Professions draw from Eastern wisdom and practices as well as Western psychological science and theory to explore why mindful awareness is integral to the therapeutic healing process and to show clinicians how to connect with this deeper awareness. This second edition is an accessible discussion of the fundamentals and also contains new sections describing the latest research on the neuroscience of mindfulness and mechanisms of change. Integrating the art and science of mindfulness to inspire greater well being in both clinicians and their patients, this volume bridges a gap between therapist and patient, reminding us that we are all human beings wanting happiness, health and freedom from suffering.
