🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- THE FIRST 30 MINUTES AFTER YOU WAKE UP PROGRAM YOUR BRAIN FOR THE ENTIRE DAY. ...Here are 7 morning habits neuroscience says work: Most people sabotage their mornings without realizing it. The way you begin your day quietly shapes your mood, focus, stress levels, energy, and mental state for hours afterward. 1. DON’T TOUCH YOUR PHONE IMMEDIATELY 📱 Your brain wakes up in a highly impressionable state. The moment you scroll social media, messages, bad news, or stress, your nervous system becomes reactive instead of calm and intentional. Protect your mind before the world enters it. 2. GET MORNING SUNLIGHT ☀️ Natural sunlight in the morning helps regulate your body clock, improve mood, boost serotonin, and support deeper sleep later at night. Even a few minutes outside can reset your nervous system. 3. DRINK WATER FIRST 💧 After hours of sleep, your body wakes up dehydrated. Water improves energy, focus, circulation, and mental clarity faster than most people realize. 4. MOVE YOUR BODY 🚶‍♂️ You do not need an intense workout immediately. Stretching, walking, breathing deeply, or light movement signals to your brain and body that it is time to wake up fully. Movement creates momentum. 5. SET ONE CLEAR INTENTION 🌸 Your mind focuses on what you repeatedly give attention to. Choose one intention for the day: peace, discipline, gratitude, patience, focus, healing, or growth. A focused mind wastes less energy. 6. AVOID NEGATIVE INPUT EARLY ⚠️ Arguments, stressful content, negativity, and emotional chaos affect the nervous system deeply in the morning. Protect your peace before exposing yourself to noise. 7. COMPLETE ONE SMALL WIN ✅ Make your bed. Meditate for two minutes. Write one journal entry. Finish one simple task. Small wins build dopamine, confidence, momentum, and emotional stability. The Buddha taught that the mind becomes what it repeatedly consumes. A peaceful morning often creates a calmer day. And a chaotic morning often creates a restless mind. Start your mornings slowly. Protect your energy carefully. And remember: The way you begin your day quietly shapes the way you experience your life. #morningroutine #buddhism #science "Pure signal, no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- 🚨 Seven powerful earthquakes rattled the planet in just one day. The deadliest disaster struck Venezuela, where two major earthquakes hit within minutes of each other on June 24. The powerful tremors devastated communities near Caracas, collapsing buildings, damaging infrastructure, and leaving hundreds dead or injured as rescue crews continue searching through the rubble. Only hours later, a magnitude 6.9 earthquake shook the waters off northern Japan near Iwate Prefecture. The quake was felt as far away as Tokyo, but fortunately caused little damage and did not generate a tsunami. Meanwhile, in Northern California, a magnitude 5.6 earthquake struck Mendocino County, rattling homes, knocking items from shelves, and briefly disrupting power. It was one of the region’s strongest earthquakes in decades. So why are so many earthquakes happening within such a short time? The answer lies beneath our feet. Earth’s crust is divided into massive tectonic plates that are constantly moving. They collide, separate, and slide past one another, slowly building enormous amounts of stress. When that stress is suddenly released, the ground shakes. Venezuela sits along the boundary between the Caribbean and South American plates. Japan lies on one of the most seismically active regions on Earth, where several tectonic plates converge. Northern California is dominated by the complex interaction between the Pacific and North American plates. Although these earthquakes happened within hours of one another, scientists say they were not part of one global chain reaction. Large earthquakes can occasionally trigger nearby faults that are already under stress, but events separated by thousands of kilometers are usually independent. Sometimes, multiple major earthquakes occurring close together in time are simply a remarkable coincidence. The Earth is always moving. Sometimes, we just happen to notice it all at once.

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- Auguries of Innocence By William Blake To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour. A Robin Red breast in a Cage Puts all Heaven in a Rage. A Dove house filld with Doves & Pigeons Shudders Hell thro' all its regions. A dog starvd at his Master's Gate Predicts the ruin of the State. A Horse misusd upon the Road Calls to Heaven for Human blood. Each outcry of the hunted Hare A fibre from the Brain does tear. A Skylark wounded in the wing, A Cherubim does cease to sing. The Game Cock clipd & armd for fight Does the Rising Sun affright. Every Wolfs & Lions howl Raises from Hell a Human Soul. The wild deer wandering here & there Keeps the Human Soul from Care. The Lamb misusd breeds Public Strife And yet forgives the Butchers knife. The Bat that flits at close of Eve Has left the Brain that wont Believe. The Owl that calls upon the Night Speaks the Unbelievers fright. He who shall hurt the little Wren Shall never be belovd by Men. He who the Ox to wrath has movd Shall never be by Woman lovd. The wanton Boy that kills the Fly Shall feel the Spiders enmity. He who torments the Chafers Sprite Weaves a Bower in endless Night. The Catterpiller on the Leaf Repeats to thee thy Mothers grief. Kill not the Moth nor Butterfly For the Last Judgment draweth nigh. He who shall train the Horse to War Shall never pass the Polar Bar. The Beggars Dog & Widows Cat Feed them & thou wilt grow fat. The Gnat that sings his Summers Song Poison gets from Slanders tongue. The Poison of the Snake & Newt Is the sweat of Envys Foot. The Poison of the Honey Bee Is the Artists Jealousy. The Princes Robes & Beggars Rags Are Toadstools on the Misers Bags. A Truth thats told with bad intent Beats all the Lies you can invent. It is right it should be so Man was made for Joy & Woe And when this we rightly know Thro the World we safely go. Joy & Woe are woven fine A Clothing for the soul divine Under every grief & pine Runs a joy with silken twine. The Babe is more than swadling Bands Throughout all these Human Lands. Tools were made & Born were hands Every Farmer Understands. Every Tear from Every Eye Becomes a Babe in Eternity. This is caught by Females bright And returnd to its own delight. The Bleat the Bark Bellow & Roar Are Waves that Beat on Heavens Shore. The Babe that weeps the Rod beneath Writes Revenge in realms of Death. The Beggars Rags fluttering in Air Does to Rags the Heavens tear. The Soldier armd with Sword & Gun Palsied strikes the Summers Sun. The Poor Mans Farthing is worth more Than all the Gold on Afric's Shore. One Mite wrung from the Labrers hands Shall buy & sell the Misers Lands. Or if protected from on high Does that whole Nation sell & buy. He who mocks the Infants Faith Shall be mockd in Age & Death. He who shall teach the Child to Doubt The rotting Grave shall neer get out. He who respects the Infants faith Triumphs over Hell & Death. The Childs Toys and the Old Mans Reasons Are the Fruits of the Two seasons. The Questioner who sits so sly Shall never know how to Reply. He who replies to words of Doubt Doth put the Light of Knowledge out. The Strongest Poison ever known Came from Caesars Laurel Crown. Nought can Deform the Human Race Like to the Armours iron brace. When Gold & Gems adorn the Plow To peaceful Arts shall Envy Bow. A Riddle or the Crickets Cry Is to Doubt a fit Reply. The Emmets Inch & Eagles Mile Make Lame Philosophy to smile. He who Doubts from what he sees Will neer Believe do what you Please. If the Sun & Moon should Doubt Theyd immediately Go out. To be in a Passion you Good may Do But no Good if a Passion is in you. The Whore & Gambler by the State Licensed build that Nations Fate. The Harlots cry from Street to Street Shall weave Old Englands winding Sheet. The Winners Shout the Losers Curse Dance before dead Englands Hearse. Every Night & every Morn Some to Misery are Born. Every Morn and every Night Some are Born to sweet delight. Some are Born to sweet delight Some are Born to Endless Night. We are led to Believe a Lie When we see not Thro the Eye Which was Born in a Night to perish in a Night When the Soul Slept in Beams of Light. God Appears & God is Light To those poor Souls who dwell in Night But does a Human Form Display To those who Dwell in Realms of day.

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- On this day in 1977, the Eagles single “Life in the Fast Lane” peaked at #11 on the US Billboard Hot 100 (June 25) Joe Walsh had replaced original Eagle Bernie Leadon, and the band heard him mucking around with the riff. It was a riff Walsh used to warm up his fingers up. Walsh recalled Glenn Frey saying “What the hell’s that?”, to which Walsh replied “I don’t know, I just do it to get ready to play…” Frey said: “Keep that; that’s an Eagles song!” Don Henley recalled saying “We've got to figure out to make a song out of that." Henley and Frey helped Walsh flesh out the riff into a song, and came up with the lyrics. In a 1981 interview with the BBC, Frey explained: "Life In The Fast Lane' kind of expressed the stereotyped LA 'run around in your Porsche' 24 hour boogie mode that unfortunately is too true for a lot of people. It wasn't really a statement about the guys in the band, or about anybody in particular – just it's kind of disturbing to see the extremes that the bourgeois jet set will involve themselves in. For instance, disco almost turned into a lifestyle, and it's such a non-meaningful thing on which to base one's life." Frey revealed that the title came to him one day when he was riding on the freeway with a drug dealer known as "The Count". He asked the dealer to slow down and the response was, "What do you mean? It's life in the fast lane!" Sung by Henley, the song from their mega-successful “Hotel California” LP went on to peak at #11 in the US, #12 in Canada, and #96 in Australia. It became a signature song for Joe Walsh, and the term “life in the fast lane” became a commonly used term in society to describe living life to excess on the edge. #eagles, #lifeinthefastlane, #JoeWalsh, #glennfrey, #donhenley, #70smusic, "Pure signal, no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️
