It's Week 8 in my 8 Week Series ~ Stress Less, Meditate More! The Holiday Edition

Peace may not seem like a choice, especially this time of year but it IS a choice! Today we will meditate and learn just how to choose peace instead of the chaos and bring some calm to the hustle and bustle that surrounds us this time of year.

This is Week 7 in my 8 Week Series ~ Stress Less, Meditate More: The Holiday Edition

A Meditation on Faith and Trust...does the universe actually work FOR us? How can we guide our brains in a physiological way to bring us what we want and how can we possibly count on this??
This is week 6 of my 8 Week Series ~ Stress Less, Meditate More: The Holiday Edition

A Mediation on Balance during the holidays: Understanding Motivation, Inspiration and Willpower in creating a daily meditation practice and other healthy habits.
A balanced life is a healthy life, but how to achieve balance can be tricky and may surprisingly involve some flexibility. Sometimes we think we are stuck because of "who" we are, but it's important that we don't confuse "normal" with "familiar." We can all change and using inspiration, motivation and willpower strategically can be just the thing.
Understanding how your brain works when it is faced with a new healthy behavior that isn't habitual yet is the first step in understanding healthy habit creation and how this can contribute to balance your life. The difference between motivation and inspiration are covered and how to create motivation all on your own.
The Stress Tip today uses psychoeducation and knowing "who" is talking to you when you are having those private battles in your head help assure that you always come out as the winner. We use what we have learned from Judson Brewer Bessel van der Kolk and Kelly McGonigal to stay on course and resist persistent unhealthy behaviors and cravings that get in the way of our successes.
The meditation today will be different than what we've been doing...it's the "Saw" meditation and I learned it from one of my very favorite people on this Earth.
This is week 5 in my 8 Week Series ~Stress Less, Meditate More...The Holiday Edition~

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all! Today, it’s all about Gratitude, baby! Let’s luxuriate in our own abundance by giving thanks like a BOSS. A "Get Better At Stress" tip is a bit of a new take on being grateful using mindfulness and keeps the vibe on point.
This is week 4 in my 8 Week Series: Stress Less, Meditate MORE! The Holiday Edition. A Gratitude Meditation.

Today we explore Generosity and it's myriad definitions. If we can only give what we got, then how can we fill ourselves up? Plus, a "Get Better at Stress" tip sets this meditation off just right.
This is Week 3 in my 8 Week Series: Stress Less, Meditate MORE! The Holiday Edition. Meditation on Generosity.

Meditation on Forgiveness: Stress Less Meditate MORE! The Holiday Edition: 8 Week Series...Week 2: Exploring Forgiveness
Forgiveness is a biggie AND a toughie. What's cool is, if we do the work, we free ourselves. Forgiveness doesn't excuse someone else's behavior or diminish how we have been wronged. We forgive to make ourselves better, lighter, healthier and happier. And let's be real...it's probably fair to say that we all have someone that we need to forgive...and sometimes that very someone may be our own self.

Stress Less, Meditate MORE! Holiday Edition: An 8 week series: Week 1: ~ Exploring My Purpose
Being in alignment with your purpose sounds lovely, but how to get there may seem tough. Today, we get a stress tip as well as meditate on the exploration of Purpose in the 1st week of my series of 8 ~ Stress Less, Meditate More the Holiday Edition.

A meditation practice is more consistent and beneficial when it actually means something to you. Today we explore don Miguel Ruiz's book, "The Four Agreements" in a lovely guided meditation aimed at honing our day to day thoughts and behaviors and aligning them with our sacred values.

We think that there is only one of us, but there are definitely TWO of us...don't believe me? Every been sick of yourself? Or, have you ever had an argument with yourself?? Yeah. Must be two of you, right? There's you...and then there's this voice in your head that never seems to stop commenting on every...single...thing! How do you quiet this "roommate" that lives in your and never gives you any peace?! When you're trying to find a little stillness, don't give up! I'll show you just how using a mantra can help!
