Springtime — Timely Re-juvenation!

Filed Under Emotional Healing, Life Coaching, Spiritual Healing

The Spring Season is the time for New Life and New Growth!
Red Easter eggs and yellow and white daffodils in green grass, with the words May the JOY of Easter be Yours!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is an excerpt from Pippa Passes, a poem by Robert Browning:

The year’s at the spring
And day’s at the morn;
Morning’s at seven;
The hillside’s dew-pearled;
The lark’s on the wing;
The snail’s on the thorn;
God’s in His heaven –
All’s right with the world!

I love the way this poem encapsulates the pure joy and life-enhancing vibrancy of Springtime!

During this marvelous season, I urge you to get outside and enjoy the sunshine (after you apply ample sunscreen, of course!) as often as you can.  The Vitamin D in sunshine is a necessary body nutrient for
* Strong bones
* T-cell function
* Eye health

In addition to boosting your body’s level of Vitamin D, the sun has amazingly beneficial effects on enhancing mood and emotional well-being.  So, if you are looking forward to Read more

Filed Under Emotional Healing, Life Coaching, Mental Healing, Physical Healing

You may have felt worried or stressed lately. This is a common feeling. Almost everyone experiences anxiety every now and then. Some people experience anxiety with great frequency! Mindfulness: Be Mindful with The Life Coach Dr., Marlene Shiple, Ph.D.!

TIP! If you’re in a stressful situation, before you doing anything rash, stop and count to ten. This will give you amoment to relax and cool down.

There are numerous methods to handle stress and strain. This post has a collection of some the finest stress management pointers offered. I urge you to use them to reduce your degree of tension, and bring serenity into your life.

1. Minimize Caffeine: A great technique to reduce the tension that you experience is to lower your caffeine intake. Cortisol is the anxiety bodily hormone in your body that helps to moderate many aspects of stress response — for example, weight gain, mood swings, heart disease, and diabetic issues.

TIP! A great tip that can help you fight stress is to make sure you’re not spending more money than you have. There’s nothing more stressful than being in debt and having to repay a lot of money.

2. Aromatherapy: When you take a bath in the evening, add some aromatherapy beads. This will certainly assist to open your pores. The largest of all of our organs is the skin. Maintaining open pores helps to clean your body from the inside, out. The scents released from the beads will provide a way to soothe your anxiousness and stress. Looking after your body is essential in helping to lower stress values.

3. Reading: Engage in reading a publication — e.g., a book or magazine or newspaper — to reduce some of your pent-up stress. While reading, you will find yourself able to be mindful of the story Read more

Mindfulness: The Importance of Mindfulness

Filed Under Emotional Healing, Life Coaching, Spiritual Healing

Why all the fuss about being Mindful?

The importance of remaining Mindful rests in the fact that what occurs in our lives happens in this present moment.  The only way to affect our lives centers on what we can do right here, right now.LIVING Mindfulness -- Relaxation in Nature!elaxation in Nature

The past is out of our reach.  It is over.  We cannot change the events — the details of those events — our actions in those events — the outcomes of those events — that have occurred in the past.

The future is not yet here.  We cannot change the events — the details of those events — our actions in those events — the outcomes of those events — that have yet to occur.

What we CAN do is be fully aware of this moment, right now.

Here is the miracle!:  By paying close and particular attention to what is occurring right now — by noticing carefully happens within us and around us — we CAN CHANGE our experience of this moment.

* By staying aware of it, we can change how we look at this moment.
* By staying aware of it, we can choose how we want to feel in this moment.
* By staying aware of it, we can actively select the words we use to communicate in this moment.
* By staying aware of it, we can write a positive script about N-O-W … then, proceed — in this moment — to put that script into action!

Such is the absolute magic of NOW!

This also applies if you have tried to make changes in your life and just cannot reach your goals, Success to Achieve Your Goals & Resolutions!seeking advice could be a positive solution.

Another pitfall of New Year’s Resolutions is that they can allow you to become extremely self-critical.
