Anxiety: Take Back Control

with Tim JP Collins

Hello my friends!

Thanks for the love about little Grace our new pup. I’ve received some lovely emails from you welcoming Grace. I just love you guys you are so kind and I love the emails I receive from you all, whether you are asking a question or just letting me know how this show has changed you or even to just say hi! I welcome it all. Thank you.

So, next week I’m off to Ireland. Unfortunately my grandparents are not in the best of health, so I’ll be heading off to Tullamore to visit with them and spend some time with them. They were such a big part of my childhood growing up, I just feel I’ll regret it if I don’t spend some time with them now while they are still here. I’ll be sure to tell you all about my travels in an upcoming episode.

This got me thinking about the people in our lives and regrets. Is there someone in your life that maybe you haven’t seen in a while, that you have lost touch with. Maybe you are being stubborn with someone and are waiting for them to contact you first.

Contact them. Just do it. Living with regrets is horrible. Reach out, make that connection. It will have great impact on your life and theirs for the better. I’m sure of it. Life is too short and too precious.

Hormones: Are they Driving you Crazy?

with Robyn Srigley

Here in Canada we have had our first week of fall. Although it doesn’t really feel like it yet. The nights have been a little cool but the days are still sunny and warm. However, I do see some trees starting to turn beautiful reds and yellows. And pumpkins and apples are in season. What are you favourite things about fall? For me,  I love the food. I just posted an awesome warming soup of butternut squash, sweet potato and carrot, with just a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. It will warm the cockles of your heart. It’s so good.

Boost your Immunity and Prevent Disease

Hello and Happy September! How’s this for a mind fuck…there’s just over 3 months left in 2015. Can you believe that? My mind is blown. Christmas is here in 107 days. Yes. Crazy right. I’ve already seen christmas stuff in stores. Which I think is absolutely ridiculous, let us get back to school, how about Halloween, and if you’re in Canada or the US how about Thanksgiving. Can we do that first please. It seems like we are always in a rush to get to the next thing instead of being in the moment and enjoying what’s in front of us. I don’t even think about Christmas until December, so feck off!! LOL

But I just want to go back to that thought for a second, living in the moment. We hear it all the time, but we don’t really take it to heart and because of that we let moments pass us by. And therefore we regret. And regrets are the worse thing to live with. Do you have regrets? Many of do. If you were to look back at those regrets, what would you do differently? You would probably, take a chance, seize a moment, you’d LIVE life. Right!  Well, because you’re alive right now, and I know you are because you’re listening to me. So, you can’t get out of this one! haha. This week you’re going to do something for yourself. You are going to take the moments to live life when they are right there in front of you. I want you to dive right in, seize the moment, take a chance, LIVE life. Whatever it is, whether it’s finally putting on those running shoes you’ve been staring at all summer and getting off your arse and going for a run, or finally asking him or her on a date, or telling someone you love them, or saying no to something or someone. DO IT. Invest in your moment this week. You’re worth it.
