An Apple a Day...

If you are what you eat, does what you eat also effect your mood and energy? Does eating influence anxiety and depression. Do we sometimes get angry at our spouse because we haven't eaten all day?

You Bet!

By paying attention to eating well and in a timely manner we can make huge changes in how we feel each day.

Where to Find Love on Valentines Day

"To love oneself is the beginning of a life long affair" Oscar Wilde.

And no truer words could be spoken on Valentines Day where there is so much pressure to prove one's love to others and the world. Do we have it wrong trying to make love an external process rather than focusing on the inner process of self love?

When we put love into a bigger picture the one person that will be with you your entire life is, well, you. While other types of love, family, friends, partners, spouses, may come and go, finding a deep internal sense of loving oneself can create peace in our thoughts and emotions.

Being willing to let go of the negative voices that dominate many of our thoughts and instead focusing on our strengths and good qualities can bring a truer sense of self into the picture and allow us to be comfotable with our own company.

And the amazing bonus of this way of being is that the more we are able to love ourselves the more love we have to share with the world.

So for this Valentines Day, change your priorities; be loving and kind to yourself and notice how much more beautiful the world becomes.

Valentines Day, A Different Look

That magic day is here when chocolates are sent, flowers delivered, and cards filled with poems of love and longing are shared.

But there is another way to find love and that is to follow the path of nurturing yourself.

Normal is Soooo 1980's

It's never easy being different.  A lot of people say they just want to be normal. I say no.

Normal is beige.

Normal is boring.

Normal is fitting in with what everybody else is doing.

What about instead being okay with different, embracing it, and letting go of the fear to state who you are in the world.

Maybe not everybody is ready to take this step, maybe not all people are ready to see it, but somehow eventually we need to become comfortable with who we are and find the willingness to live in that space.

Share a little bit more of who you are today with someone you trust and see how it goes. Little steps to start can make big change.
