The Master in the Art of Living makes little distinction between his work and 
his play,
his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his 
recreation,
his love and his intellectual passions.  He hardly knows which is which.
He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does,
leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing.
To him - he is always doing both.

Hypnotist warms up workers


A cobbler who won't buy heaters for his freezing staff has had them hypnotised 
into thinking they're warm.

Martin Connellan bought coats for the lads in his workshop after temperatures 
plunged to -13°C, reports The Sun.

But with doors left constantly open to clear solvent fumes, the workers were 
still left shivering in the snow.

But after a five-minute session with hypnotist James Kerwin they have 
reportedly been stripping down to shorts and T-shirts.

Worker Adam Hood, 27, said: "I definitely feel much hotter than I was. All my 
life I've had cold hands and that's even gone now. It's crazy how you can go 
from one extreme to the other like that."

Mr Connellan, who runs the workshop in Bromsgrove, Worcs, said: "The lads were 
all complaining because I like to keep the doors open.

"I bought them all jackets but they were still moaning so this was the last 
resort.

"I am a very sceptical person so I didn't think it would work - but soon they 
were complaining about how hot they were."

Mr Kerwin, of Studley, Warwicks, said: "It's all about mind over matter. It's a 
case of reprogramming people like you would a computer.

"You can retrain people into thinking differently about how they feel. It seems 
to have done the trick."
