Recently, our family had the opportunity to care for sisters' children for a couple days, when she and her husband traveled to a bed and breakfast for some much need rest and relaxation. They don't have a chance to get away that often, so I was more than happy to help them out for this little getaway. And, well, I would hope that she would do the same thing for me.

Once I agreed to taking care of her children, reality set in. My sister has six children, and while the youngest wouldn't be staying with me, all the others would be. Add those five children to my three, you have eight, and add that to my small apartment and you have enough to drive any mom up a wall! How would I keep eight children occupied in my small home, without spending a lot of money?

One of the first activities we played was Twister. Twister was a gift for Christmas, so it was a game the children were still learning. As I watched them play, my I started thinking about the games my siblings and I played as children -- those easy games that usually required no extra supplies. There were six of us, and I can remember keeping ourselves occupied with old favorites such as "Mother May I?" and "Old Maid". After reminiscing, I decided that I would take this opportunity to teach them these favorite games.

I am not sure who had more fun with it, but I taught them several of the games I played as a young child, and everyone had the greatest time. I taught them "Red Light, Green Light" and "Red Rover", among others. Even the older children had fun playing "London Bridge" for the sake of the little ones. Want to know the best part? It has been over a week since I taught the kids these games, and on several occasions, I have caught them playing them on their own. Now, what could be better than that?

I encourage you to think back to some of your favorite childhood games. Did you love to play "Simon Says"? When was the last time you built a hopscotch? Do your children even know that there is actually a way to play marbles? Think of your favorites, and start teaching them to your children. Not only do most of these games require very little supplies, if any, but they show your children that there are fun activities that don't have to be plugged in.

If you need some inspiration, the following websites offer instructions on many popular childhood games:

How would you like to learn two simple techniques that can vastly improve your life?

If I told you that it is possible to significantly relieve yourself of anxiety, worry and stress as well as bad habits in a very short time, would you take the time to learn these two simple procedures?

You may be more interested if I told you it had help me personally and I have witnessed the proof. I was taking 5 blood pressure pills daily. Anxiety and stress were an everyday battle. There seemed to be no hope.

Well now I take only one BP pill daily. I am feeling so much better both physically, mentally and emotionally. I have been utilizing these two tools about 7 months now.

The first technique that I studied after doing much research is called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). All the relevant information you need to understand EFT is free. There are some improvement eBooks that you can purchase if you desire but this is not required.

So what is EFT?

EFT is a psychological version of acupuncture that is so simple to do that you can learn to do it in less than 30 minutes. Emotional Freedom Technique is not painful at all. There are no needles incorporated. You basically tap with your fingers on key meridian points while saying some simple phrases.

EFT is based on traditional Chinese medicine's energy system, the same system which acupuncture is based. When you tap on the meridian points you are unblocking energy fields throughout your body. These barriers could have been causing health issues for some time.

The powerful effectiveness of EFT depends on the problem involved and the number of difficulties you are dealing with. The more complex issues may eventually need repeated sessions. Believe me it is well worth the minor amount of time for a constant relief of these significant problems.

Here are some examples of how you can benefit from EFT.

· Anxiety · Stress · Bad habits · Fears · Physical pain · Cravings · Depression · Anger · High blood pressure · Panic attacks

You can include just about anything else to this list. EFT is so simple to utilize yet can return tremendous results.

The second procedure is called Z-Point.

Z-point is also a very simple process which in addition can give great results.

With Z-point you merely say phrases out loud or to yourself. Z-point will help you release negative emotions and make improvements to you with positive affirmations.

Like EFT with Z-point you can start off simple and add to the process as you learn. In fact Z-point one-page instruction sheet will adequately guide you though the one time installation process and shows you the daily phrases to read each day.

You will clear all the negative ways, patterns and emotions that have piled up throughout the years. I'm convinced that you will see results if you continue to utilize these tools.

So don't put it off. Start today! Put these two fantastic tools to work for you right now. Just think you won't have to invest anything to learn how to improve yourself except a little time.
