Chill Out Revolution

Stretch Out Your Body 3x Daily

Do you ever find yourself stiff as a board after sitting for a long time or getting up from bed? Well, have you tried stretching out 3x daily? Stretch out in the morning, afternoon, and evening. It doesn’t have to be yoga or anything fancy. Just take one minute to safely stretch out your back, legs, arms, and fingers. Find good neck stretches, too. You don’t have to feel OLD, just remember to keep your body moving daily.

Have a great day! The Chill Out Guru™ – Hajii Otto, MS, CHT

My mom passed away exactly one year ago. I’ve grown and healed so much: I laugh more from the heart, I cry more when I’m happy, I see more, I feel more, I celebrate more…I still miss her everyday, but I now have a better understanding of all her lessons she taught me. She showed me by example – “Unconditional Love.” I hope to share all those lessons with people in my life. Emotional healing is a constant process, so it’s ok to take time to reflect and learn.

My loving mother. Thank you for all your wonderful love! Hajii Otto

Beautiful Road Trip

How many times have you driven down the road and saw something beautiful?  I like to take Road Trips, and stop by beautiful or interesting places.  I remember the times I wished I took a picture of a beautiful scenery which I saw driving down the road. I now take those opportunities and snap a quick photo. Those photos turn out to be my little jewels of memories.  Life is way too short to wish you took an opportunity that you had in life.  If you feel like opportunity is knocking on your door, don’t be afraid to see what’s behind the door, at least look through the peep hole.  You might find something new and exciting.  Be FREE to Wonder again…

Find time to laugh with friends and family often

How many times a day do you laugh with people that you love?  It’s funny to think that most people don’t laugh with the ones they love the most.  We get stuck with the day-by-day rituals and seeing each other becomes a normal habitual pattern.  How often do you emotionally fill the needs of friends and family?  Do you daily say, “I love you”?  Do you tell those folks that you care about them? Do you verbally say how much you appreciate them?

Don’t take it for granted that people know you love them.  It’s comforting to the heart and soul to hear those words.  Pay attention next time you find yourself laughing with loved ones, and just enjoy the moment.  Express the positive words that come to your mind and don’t hold back.  Laugh more, Love more!

Have fun with family and friends often_Hajii Otto

Find reasons to celebrate life daily with friends and family

Share more happy moments with your friends and family

How often do you try to spend quality time with friends and family throughout the year?  I know, we all get mega busy with our schedules and forget to reconnect with people that we love.  Find time to gather as friends and family by doing simple events.  It doesn’t have to be expensive.  My mother always tried to take us to the beach or fishing.  She would invite the rest of the family and friends.  If they could make it, then we would have an instant fun social gathering.  I learned if you give people an opportunity to socially gather, then you find more opportunities to connect even with busy schedules.

Call up folks you care about and chat for a bit. Have a quick luncheon with old friends.  Go fishing with your kids without worrying about catching anything.  Bake cupcakes with your loved ones.  Have a cookout just to have one.  Remember, texting is not connecting because talking is more soothing to the heart.

Have a great day!  Celebrate life daily with friends and family.

How often do you smile in life?  Find reasons to smile daily, and share that joy with other people via email, Facebook, phone, or in person.  Share a smile and see what happens with your daily life.  Take care, from the heart, Hajii Otto, The Chill Out Guru™

Smile daily and share that joy with others

My Ohana family is wonderful. I love how everyone is free to be silly and goofy.  We seem to always come up with ways to start playing, dancing, laughing, eating, etc.  Our jokes are stupid, but who cares, we laugh anyway.  One good chuckle leads to a series of non-stop laughter in the house.  All the walls go down when we’re in that hyper zone of fun.

Chill Out Tip:  Be willing to act silly and goofy in life.  Smile often!

Calming the mind and body can trigger new ideas

I get a big rush speaking on stage, and I love performing in front of an active audience.  You can feel the surge of excitement when you know you’re touching the hearts and minds of people just by watching their eyes and smiles.  The more they get excited, the more I get excited.  Therefore, I try to refuel my energy by doing ritual visualization and relaxation techniques. However, today was one of those crazy motivating moments of EXCITEMENT during my “Self Quality Time. ” I was trying to solve a problem to a particular workshop program, and I was  zapped with so many  ideas.  I had to finally get up and write down all those concepts.  You got’ta love it when you finally silence the mind and the heart hears the message.  I was super hyped-up with excitement, and I was able to complete my workshop project.

Chill Out Tip: Refuel your energy often, and you’ll be able to perform at a higher level.

I hope you’re having a great NEW YEAR 2011…

Take care, and have a great day. Hajii Otto, MS, CHT, The Chill Out Guru™  More Power to YOU!

I know it might seem strange to hear that hula is awesome especially as a guy, but it’s one of my passions in life.  We do both traditional Hawaiian hula and Tahitian hula.  It’s actually more difficult than it looks, and you can seriously get your cardio exercise completed especially if you dance back to back for a performance. After each show, I feel this major rush of excitement, because we all get crazy dancing with sweat.  It’s also a way of expressing ourselves in a physical, creative way.

What’s your passion in life?  Explore what creates happiness in your life and start doing it more often.  Forget about what others may think of you and just do what makes you happy. Get all excited again about something.  Make it simple and make it happen.  Stress less and take care… Hajii Otto, The Chill Out Guru™

Family Quality Time: Hula

Sometimes the hardest thing to remember is to stop and take a break from all the hustle and bustle of life.

If you’re like me, I love being on the move with different tasks and projects.  I truly enjoy multi-tasking.  However, I find myself getting lost in my busy schedule and my back starts to hurt.  My neck locks up in stiffness and my shoulders are lifted to my ears from all typing and reading.  Yes, I even get stressed out, because that’s part of life.  You have to remember to stop what you’re doing and do something to make you HAPPY.  It doesn’t have to be a big deal, just give yourself a few minutes to chill out.  Spend time calling up a friend or family member that you’ve been meaning to call for sometime. Get outside for ten minutes and observe what’s happening around you.  Play a quick video game or solitaire on your computer.  You get the point.  Take time to enjoy life daily.  Take care and chill out more…… Hajii Otto, the Chill Out Guru™
