The rays of the sun are "vita-rays," which heat and charge the cells with vitamins. These vitamins are loaded with en- ergy, and the body absorbs this energy from the sun just as a blotter absorbs ink. Therefore, by all means train yourself to walk in the sun. It invigorates the body, stimulates the flow of blood, and provokes many brilliant ideas. Try it. Here is another suggestion that will accelerate your en- ergy. It is stretching. Most animals follow their natural in- stincts and stretch as means of taking their "daily dozen." Stretching is nothing more than conscious tension. It is tensing the muscles of the body by an act of thought. When the cells are crying for blood, the body feels tired; by stretch- ing at intervals, you furnish the cells with nutrition, and this replaces tiredness with energy. You will have more ca- pacity to do things. In brief, stretching gives the body a blood bath. If you make it a practice to stretch consciously for 10 to 20 seconds, you will increase your energy and pep. Make it a habit to stretch your arm muscles, leg muscles, back muscles, abdominal muscles, hand muscles, neck mus- cles, and shoulder muscles. Try stretching every muscle in your body from head to toe. Let common sense tell you when you have stretched enough. There is no particular way to stretch. Each individual can work this out to suit his own disposition, time, and conven- ience. The main thing is to do it. This is the way I do it. I GET CHARGED UP AND GO AHEAD 167 take a deep gulp of air—all my lungs can hold. I tense the body, stretch all parts, raise the diaphragm, and press down. This draws blood to my head, face, shoulders, back, legs, abdomen, and neck. Then I exhale through the nose. This takes 15 seconds, and does it relax and revitalize me! You try it. Disobey a natural law and you pay a penalty. Obey it, and you receive a blessing. All these suggestions are based on natural laws. Practice these principles every day reli- giously; they will increase your energy, give you more power to act, and help you to make more sales. Now that you have your house in order, turn your atten- tion to the mental faculties and the spiritual attributes that have their home in the house. |
