In this episode learn one of the most important things you can do for your brain to  help prevent dementia or slow down its progression if you or someone you love already has a diagnosis. 

Onset of  dementia and Alzheimer's can start as early as 20 to 30 years before most people are diagnosed so it is never too early to consider taking care of your brain health.❤️

Having  the genetic markers for dementia or Alzheimer's does not mean someone will develop the disease and there are things that can be done to make it less likely to get dementia or any genetic disease. 

In this episode I share with you one of the preventative actions you can take that are showing big promise in Alzheimer's research when it comes to strengthening the areas of the brain that are damaged most in dementia patients.

Are you listening?  Your body is talking to you, and what it is saying can be the key to having the confidence to clear your calendar once and for all of anything that is not aligned with the life you want to create. 

This episode first talks about how the body is speaking to you and how you can use the signals it is giving you to learn what you need to be  doing less of and more of throughout your day, week or month.

The second part of the episode is a simple guided meditation that can be used to strengthen your ability to cue into what the body is telling you. With practice you can learn to use your body as a guide for decisions big  and small, helping you have clarity around what you do with your time and schedule.

If you struggle with anxiety, constant worry or have many regrets that seem to weigh you down, this meditation is for you. 

This "Dropping the Suitcase of Worry and Regret" meditation takes you through a visualization of putting down two suitcases, one full of your worries and the other your regrets.  Releasing your worries and regrets with can help you to reduce anxiety that you may be carrying.

If you are not a visual person, you can still benefit from this meditation. Most of my clients who say they struggle with visualization can still feel or get a sense on a body or energetic level and that works just as well as actually visualizing.

If you have a moment to join me for this guided meditation, I highly recommend you give it a try. If you enjoy it, consider setting a reminder to do it more than once.  We didn’t pick up all our anxiety and regrets in a day so it often takes more than one time to let them go.  Most of the time our body and brain needs repetition and time to slowly release whatever it has been holding onto for the last week, month or even years.

If you have ever said to yourself, “I can’t stop my thoughts, therefore I cannot meditate” then this episode is for you.

In this episode, I share five ways to deal with those pesky little thoughts that often come up during a meditation practice or when we are trying to fall asleep.

There are many more than five, but the ones I share in this episode are:

1. Visualize that your thoughts are passing by like a news ticker, ticker tape or crawler does on the bottom of a tv screen.
2. Visualize “swiping” away your thoughts like you would delete emails, or close tabs and screens on your phone.
3. Visualize filling a balloon with the thoughts and then they float away.
4. Pretend that any distracting thoughts are like unwanted guests at a dinner party. You don’t let them in or simply ignore them.
5. If there are thoughts you want to hold onto, like creative ideas or solutions to a problem you have been struggling with practice being flexible with your meditation practice. Give yourself permission to pause and write the ideas down or set an intention at the beginning of the meditation to remember any ideas or thoughts that are important to you then practice trusting you can do just that.
