Well-Being

A comfort zone is a familiar psychological state where people are at ease and (perceive they are) in control of their environment, experiencing low levels of anxiety and stress.

In mental health terms, a trigger refers to something that affects your emotional state, often significantly, by causing extreme overwhelm or distress. A trigger affects your ability to remain present in the moment.

Time is not an unlimited resource.

Moving Toward Balance

I’ve been thinking a lot about aging lately. It’s no wonder, I turn 63 in a few months. As I look in the mirror each morning and night, I think oh boy, yup aging.

Spring is a time of rebirth that you can sense all around you. The birds are chirping, the sun is feeling warmer, and the trees are budding.

Isn’t it interesting to notice our propensity to judge other people’s lives? As if we know what’s better for them than they do.

As we celebrate the start of a new year it’s no surprise what’s been on my mind lately — New Beginnings. The nature of entering into a new calendar year offers a chance to reflect, be present and focus forward.

Attitude, and how we look at something, will either shrink or expand us for sure.

I’ve been in reflection mode.  Can you relate?  My thoughts reflect my wellness journey through relationships - with myself and loved ones, including those now gone.  I’ve cried, smiled, and pondered in stillness. 

Transformation is a mind, body, heart, and spirit experience.

I’ve been thinking a lot about energy this past month; how we cultivate, clear, and contain energy.

It’s common to resist a transition leading to stagnation or suffering. On the other hand a transition can be an opportunity for self-discovery.

We are all wired differently. For me the magic is everywhere. Reminding me that we are one with nature.

Sometimes in life we think we know what we want and need. We search and take action in the direction of a want.
