This is a brief outline for my Online Course (available soon),  in Emotional Strength and Overcoming Stress and Trauma Symptoms.  Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and traumatized can be confusing. I want to make stress and trauma symptoms more simple to tackle. To help people get to a place of understanding and clarity, and to get to a balanced mental, emotional, and physically strong state.  

These 5 tips are what really helped me clear away confusion and become grounded in understanding and strength about who I am and what I want.  

1.What goes in must come out 

 2. Boundaries 

3. Completion of fight flight, coming our of freeze

I had the chance to sit down and have a heart-to-heart conversation about overcoming trauma and practicing self-love with my husband, Jason, who has proven to be a pillar of support and encouragement to me in so many ways. In this interview, his courage to share his vulnerable moments inspires me to continue the hard work of speaking truth to trauma.

Make it a ritual and make it fun. Meditation is about contemplation and focusing the mind on one thing. Learning to let the thoughts flow by without engaging with any one of them and come back to the present. You don't have to be in the Himalayas to meditate. Bringing your attention to your breath, your body, and devotion to something greater than yourself is a great way to practice.  Here are the three key areas I love to focus on when meditating:  --Think about 5 things that I am grateful for today.  --Set an intention for the day.  --Remind myself of what makes me excited about being alive, a goal and devotion to a Higher Power.  For more tips check out my book "Can you Please Talk to my Girlfriend" https://www.amazon.com/Can-You-Please-Talk-Girlfriend/dp/B08924HV6Y Self Realization Fellowship by Parmahansa Yogananda has great home study lessons and books on meditation and creating a deeper spiritual connection and so does Dr. Joe Dispenza.  https://www.yogananda-srf.org/ https://drjoedispenza.com/ https://karleeholden.com https://www.audible.com/pd/B0912TYH58/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-245111&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_245111_rh_us https://www.audible.com/pd/B0912KBSTT/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-245122&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_245122_rh_us https://www.amazon.com/Can-You-Please-Talk-Trauma/dp/B0912PC597/ref=sr_1_1?crid=SRXXZ2VMJFJG&dchild=1&keywords=can+you+please+talk+to+my+trauma&qid=1617516026&sprefix=can+you+please+tal%2Caps%2C221&sr=8-1 No Rules to Meditate: Keep it Simple and Just Start Going Within  #norulestomeditate #meditation #heartmeditation #SRF #drjoedispenza #selfrealizationfellwoship No Rules to Meditation: Focusing on Gratitude Love and Forgiveness,gratitude meditation,short meditation music relax mind body,intentional living 2021,guided meditation merging with your higher self,quick meditation for positive energy,No Rules to Meditation: Focusing on Gratitude,Love and Forgiveness,No Rules to Meditate  No Rules to Meditate: Keep it Simple and Just Start Going Within

It can be uncomfortable building our self worth to go for the things we want in life. Pushing through those fears and taking action anyways can transform the unpleasant to invigorating.   I hope to help support you in your journey in digging deep within and finding that courage. You are just as worthy as anyone else of the things you want in life. Don't let anyone or anything stop you from taking action toward your passions.

What do we do when we feel like we have lost something we love? What can we do when our hearts have been through love, pain, heart break, betrayal, etc.? How do we deal with feelings of incredible love then incredible loss to incredibly numb. Here are some exercises to do to start to mend and open a beating heart.   How to tap into the innate love that is in all our hearts and where love lives no matter what we have been through, even when we cannot feel it. Even though something we love may be gone, the love is not. How do we wrap our heads around that? We can physically and emotionally heal and expand the love in our hearts, and by uplifting ourselves, we uplift others.  Take a few minutes to connect with your heart.  Feeling love and gratitude is a skill and like any skill, it takes practice. In this episode I walk you through a guided heart meditation, and ways to practice feeling love. The more you focus on love the more you will remain present in you heart throughout your day. Love lives in the present. If it feels hard to get present and you are focused on your past, you may have some unresolved emotions to work through. That is ok and need to be done so that you can get back to the beautiful love in your heart now.

Family patterns shape us and they can be broken. This is how learn to have boundaries and understand why we haven't had them.

It can be difficult to change your emotional responses to triggers. Think of a person or situation that is in your life today that makes you uncomfortable, stressed, angry or sad. Just the thought of that person or moment can make your body feel as if it's right in front of you in the present moment. Those bodily reactions dictate your response and if just a thought causes you to feel these negative emotions, it means you are very well practiced at these responses. This is the pattern created by your nervous system.   The first step of changing these patterns and the ultimate goal of no longer having these triggers is becoming aware of what causes the triggers and catching your patterned responses. This is easier said than done. Think, you could have months, years or a life time of these patterned responses so breaking these habits may take time and lots of practice.    Remember, if a person affects you negatively don't try to change them,  you can only change yourself and how you respond. Resist the temptation of trying to convince someone to change.    Once you start catching these moments, your body's emotional responses will  change over time and that person or situation will no longer cause those feelings or bodily sensations.   This is where tests come in, once you've conquered the person or situations often times a new person or situation come in. This is your chance to prove that you've learned to change your response and it is that test that tells your nervous system that you are not going to let these people or moments affect you the same way they did before. You have established healthier responses.
