y of us are very diligent about getting that yearly doctor's checkup Wholesale Todd Gurley II Jersey , that mammogram, that pap smear, the dental appointment; but when it comes to how one is really doing inside, halting to tune in and listen to our inner selves, we'd rather not. In this technological age with barely enough time to breathe, inner health falls dead last in priorities. Volcanoes are brewing within and we do just enough to keep them at bay. But, ultimately it manifests by taking it out on our children Wholesale John Kelly Jersey , our mates, co-workers, employees, friends, strangers and ourselves. Checking in can seem self-indulgent, and it is. To realize one's true self is to delve into Self. Ask questions, take inventory Wholesale John Franklin-Myers Jersey , take responsibility and make changes if you don't like what you see. And while you cannot change the past, we have the power to change our attitude about it, hence how it ultimately affects us. Claiming, facing and letting go of anger releases its hold on us allowing the god-self to shine. The self that attracts kindness, joy, and peace. Though it doesn't release us from our lessons, feeling better about the journey of life makes it worth living-and enjoying.
The tragic events of September 11th are a prime manifestation of rage coupled with hatred and the choice made in expressing it. Making others the object of one's displeasure causes immense pain and torment and when the smoke clears Wholesale Brian Allen Jersey , what was accomplished? Nothing. Just pain and destruction and life continues. Of course 9-11 was a much more complex situation, and I mean in no way to over-simplify that catastrophic event, but if we pause and realize what happens when rage isn't dealt with the consequences are endless, sometimes startling sometimes tragic. Visualize everyone taking responsibility for our selves and treating others with compassion. It would change the world.
Feeling stressed? Who isn't!! In today's society, feeling "stressed out," overwhelmed and exhausted is the norm. However, moderate day-to-day stress takes its toll on our minds and bodies. Our constant doing Wholesale Joseph Noteboom Jersey , over-working, running errands, rushing here and there, and care-taking can lead to anxiety, depression, sleep disordersinsomnia, high blood pressure and diabetes.
There is good news ? reducing stress is in your control. According to Yoga Journal you can ?change your situation Wholesale Greg Gaines Jersey , change your attitude, and take good care of yourself.? Let's explore these options.
First, you can change your situation by taking action to:
*improve your jobcareer
*cut back on activities and obligations
*improve your relationships
*lose the weight you've been wanting to
*bring balance into your life
Life Coaching is one powerful avenue that produces action and results in your life. Through Life Coaching, you are able to identify and achieve your personal and professional goals, thus, enhancing the fulfillment, balance and happiness in your life.
Another way to take action Wholesale Bobby Evans Jersey , is to begin to journal. Journal about how you want to handle your situation, what the ideal outcome is for you, and what your desired goal is. Next, list all the steps that you need to take in order to reach your goal. You can't change things unless you put your plans into action. Therefore, decide what 2 steps you will commit to taking in the next week. To give you extra motivation and accountability, tell 2 people about the 2 steps you plan to achieve.
Second, you can change your attitude beginning in this very moment:
*look at your challenge from the perspective of someone you admire(a teacher Wholesale David Long Jersey , mentor, best friend, Lassie). How would they handle it?
*choose to let go of "perfection" today! Ask your spouse for help with the laundry or with the grocery shopping, invite your children to help with house cleaning or weeding the gardens. These activities may not be completed "perfectly," but the benefits to you will be significant. Let go of the need to "do it all" this week.
*create and recite positive affirmations that begin to fill your mind, body and spirit with positive words and intentions (read Louise Hay's book "You can Heal your Life" to learn about positive affirmations).
*focus on what's right in your life and express gratitude for all of the beauty and abundance in your life. Start a "Gratitude Journal" and write a list of things you're grateful for each day.
Finally, you can take good care of yourself: meditating Wholesale Darrell Henderson Jersey , exercising, breathing, practicing Tai Chi or Qi Gong, laughing, painting, dancing, singing or gardening. In this precious moment you can choose to ease the stressful symptoms in your body and mind simply by committing to spending 15-30 minutes a day engaging in these nurturing activities. You are worth it!!
By changing your situation and attitude Wholesale Taylor Rapp Jersey , and taking care of yourself on a regular basis, you will improve your mental and physical health, your relationships at work and home, and your ability to navigate through life's challenges with grace and ease.
