Over analyzing and ruminating thoughts may create overwhelm and create emotional imbalances. When most of our time connecting to ourselves is on our thoughts, we disconnect from the body and become unaware of the feedback below the neck. Attuning or the awareness of how the body responds to perceptions, ideas and thoughts may cultivate a lifestyle of calm.

In this episode we explore this topic and identify practical resources to aid this awareness. Thank you for the attention you give, until next time.

In contrast to the National Football League (NFL), every relationship has a framework that has been unintentionally or intentionally created. Both or all parties hold a pivotal role to the success or downfall of the connection. Join me here to identify if your connections have an "offensive" player, or a "defensive" player. Ask yourself, "who is the coach and who is the quarterback in the connections I cultivate? I look forward to the future new perspectives and growth. See you soon and thank you for your time and attention.

Both people within a partnership take many "positions" to effectively co-exist. Consider the NFL positions, offense and defense and the "plays" they both make. If you were asked, "are you playing both sides simultaneously" what reply would you offer? This episode brings a new perspective to the "game" of love.

"Mean making" or the attempt to understand life, lived experiences can be challenging. With great effort, understanding life and the world we live in is a normal and practical desire. What happens when these efforts are unsuccessful? Let's explore this universal phenomenon.

Create space to create a new life that serves you in the manner desired and deserved.
