Accepting Change

When you think about it, your life is like a tapestry with many colors, directions, good and not so good living.

Finding your way may be difficult at times because you want so many things in life. You may want to fill your time with meaningful living but you  seem trapped in what you have to do to survive.Nature gives us many lessons on staying power. Standing strong like a tree you can find your way through life’s struggles.It may seem like a long time waiting for things to change for you.You may think that they are just trees, but they are living nature, swaying and moving with time.If you find that you are impatient about where your life is going, try some exercises that help with staying power.

Meditation is a good place to start. Begin with a deep, cleansing breath, and then silence, concentrating only on your breathing. When a thought comes to mind, bring yourself back to the breath.

Meditate every day for at least 15 minutes and you will find out that you are calmer, balanced and grounded to the Earth just like a tree.

how to use your mind, body and soul to free yourself from pain and illnesse

                                           ''stress is harmful''

You would think that by now we would take that advice and find ways to decrease the stress in our lives.

My favorite way of decreasing my stress is using my creativity.

It seems that when I increase the time I spend creating something, I am at peace with myself. Creating makes the time pass, and at the end, I usually have something beautiful. Not everything that I create turns to gold!!

Sometimes I struggle, but when I do, I usually put things to the side for a moment.

And say to myself, ” This is supposed to be my peaceful time.” You may have to remind yourself of creating peaceful times and how to stay in them.

Healing and Wellness!

Do you have something that really helps you to focus on healing and wellness?

If not you should begin to find some healing ways.

Each person has their own specific way to heal themselves. And to make a full transformation to wellness and health, you may have to develop yourself by finding personal meaning and love in the things that you do in life.

Mood Healing red rose!

Red is a very powerful color that can help you in many ways. Just looking at a rose brings a smile to my face.

The color red is the color of loving moments with that special person. Red roses signify love and giving.

But red also goes deeper into your subconscious, bringing some strength to your internal being. When I wear red, I can feel its power and strength.

Red and oranges are my power colors when I want to bring some strength into my life.

Mood and Movement Healing!

Find ways to move. Dancing and walking can help with your mood.  Change your ways to a more positive you by free spirit dancing. Just move around in random movements. I do this in my yoga class. I have students get into the flow of movement.

Walking also  helps me with my mood.

When I move my body, It instantly changes my mood to a better one.

Stressors!

"We know we can’t always avoid stressors in our life, but one thing we can do to prepare for that is to have healthy food choices in our refrigerators and cabinets so that when those stressors come up, we can reach for something healthy rather than going to a very convenient but high-fat choice,

Junk food is obviously bad and can lead to weight gain.

Biological Psychiatry shows that stress experienced prior to eating a high-fat meal lowers your rate of metabolism, making it even harder to keep the pounds off.

We know,  it is possible to change your habits.
