Achieving Health & Balance in Body, Mind & Spirit (or at least working on it!)
I had an interesting lesson on Friday. One of my dear friends from hypnotherapy school was in town for a seminar and we decided to get together for dinner. I was excited to see her as it probably has been over a year. Our plan was to get together for a quick [...]
It is spring cleaning time. Seems like everywhere I look there is someplace that I could clean or de-clutter. Funny how something happens when the weather turns warmer. Even in California, where the weather is pretty great all year round there is a shift in weather that for me signifies time to clean! For me, [...]
Since the end of January, I have been following a low glycemic index food program and after the first week or so I found that I was no longer craving sugar. This week the sugar monster was back and initially I couldn’t figure out why I was craving ice cream and chocolate when I hadn’t [...]
I need more stillness in my life. It seems like the simple thing that I need the most, time just being, is the thing I have the hardest time giving to myself. I think my ego pulls me away from meditation or simple awareness time and says, “That’s a waste of time. You should be [...]
Karen and I had breakfast yesterday and had time just to catch up and do a little strategy planning. The cool thing was we went over the lists we had made at one of our previous sessions and we found that we had indeed made progress in several of the items we had put on [...]
I’m had this darn flu bug now for over 3 weeks, and I just can’t seem to kick it. I still have a cough that sounds like I’m trying to bring up a lung. This past week I added pink eye to the mix. Yesterday I finally went to the doctor for [...]
I’m dealing with laundry that has been in a pile–clean clothes that I intended to iron but didn’t and I realized that many of the clothes in this pile are now too big for me! So here’s the decision–give them away or alter them? Alter them now so that I have clothes to wear that [...]
Aren’t we all always in one or another. Today I’m updating on the Transitions program Cari and I have been doing. Last week we had our 3 week weigh/measure check in. Lo and behold! Cari lost about 7 pounds and 6 inches, and I lost nearly 5 and about the same on inches.
“How weird [...]
Today I was blessed to go to a bridal shower for my friend, Anna. Anna is one of those women who radiates light and love. I am so happy that she has found a man to share her life with and today was a wonderful celebration of that with her woman friends. The shower today [...]
Today is a better day. I’ve regained some perspective and don’t feel so dramatic. Sometimes all you need is to let yourself feel what you are feeling and not fight it. Those feelings seem to pass faster that way. We can waste a lot of energy trying to tell ourselves I shouldn’t feel this way. Rather than [...]
