I'm sure you've noticed that when you are in a bad mood, somehow things get worse. You know how it is: Your husband comes home and suddenly he’s in a bad mood as well, your kids start acting out and not cooperating, the tasks you take on don’t go as you had hoped, and everything just feels miserable. I don’t want to be the barer of bad news, but when that happens, it is probably because you brought it on yourself. Energy is all around us and the energy that you put out changes the energy of your household (or any...

We all have those days when we don't feel quite right. Maybe we just don’t feel like dealing with the day ahead or we fear it is going to be a bad day. Maybe we are sick of doing the work we have to do. Or maybe we just woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Whatever it is, we can choose to let it take over our body and ruin our day. Or we can choose to take an action step to create change. The smallest of steps can lead you out of the doldrums and onto a path...

When a room is dark, we turn on a light so we can see. When we need to drive somewhere at night, we turn on our headlights to light our way. Darkness exists in many other aspects of life as well. There is darkness in the body when it is sick or when we have emotional blockages holding us back. There is darkness in our society when people are out for themselves instead of helping each other. There is darkness in our busy lives when we don't take the time to bring lightness inward so we can shine it outward. Darkness and...

Love is always on our minds in February, is it not? Valentine’s Day can make those who are in love feel it even stronger, and it can make those who aren’t in a relationship yearn for it even more. But love isn’t just about whether or not we are in a relationship. It’s not about what present we get on Valentine’s Day. What is love really? Love is… happiness! If you were to study people who have found true happiness in their lives, one thing you would notice is their ability to give love. These people have found the key to...

“Are you being too uptight?” I have to ask this question of myself sometimes in order to loosen myself up. What happens is that life can beat us up and it can stress us out Then, it creates a cycle of being stressed which leads to feeling like you need to be uptight in order to survive, which only leads to more stress, and so it goes around and around. I get stuck in that cycle from time to time even though I fully believe in and want flow in my life. Flow is beautiful. It is a peaceful feeling that...

We all start out with the best intentions in mind when the excitement of the New Year comes. After all, a new year should mean a new start right? We want things to be different in our lives so we set those resolutions so we can make them happen.The problem is that life gets in the way. You want to lose weight but you can never seem to find the time to work out and eat healthy. You want to start that new side business you dream about, but it feels too overwhelming. You want to spend more quality time with...

Life is full of imperfection. I'm sure you experience it everyday, whether it be in your work, your body, your material objects, your relationships and even your thoughts and actions. What is the point of beating yourself up over imperfection when in reality, nothing is perfect!? Learning to embrace imperfection is the key and here are a few helpful strategies: Notice the beauty in imperfection. An easy way to explain this is with the example of "weathered" furniture, because it is purposefully imperfect. It is more beautiful because of its all of its nicks, scrapes, and discolorations. Start to look at...

Our bodies are exposed to a multitude of toxins everyday, and we feel their impact in the ailments and symptoms we experience. Our environment is unfortunately full of such toxins including: pollutants, chemicals in the air we breathe and in products we use, and pesticides on the food we eat. Another huge contributor that many people overlook, however, is our thoughts. If you know any quantum physics, you know that thoughts are a form of energy, and our bodies respond to energy with feelings. For example, when our bodies take on negative energy, they will respond by feeling bad. Then our...

If you are like most people, you are probably tired of reading the same information about goal planning over and over again and still never getting results. So what is the missing link?The answer is spirituality. “Goal planning with spirit,” as I put it. I am not talking religion here. I am talking about the universal elements that make up our lives and affect us whether we are aware of it or not.Bringing spirituality into your goal planning can create lightness and joy, and it allows you to flow with your goal achievement rather than struggling uphill to reach a difficult...

I'm guessing you haven't fulfilled all of your dreams. But I'm also guessing you have probably let go of several dreams. Dreams can feel impossible, but I'd like to request that you never stop believing in your dreams. With the death of your dreams comes a fading of your inner light. Not to mention that giving up on your dreams is nothing more than an excuse to take the easy road (even if it comes at the cost of a less fulfilled life). No one can say, "It could never happen for me," because that has been proven wrong over...
