Stress affects people physically, mentally and emotionally. According to the American Institute of Stress, up to 90% of all health problems are related to stress. Too much stress can contribute to and agitate many health problems, including heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, depression and sleep disorders. How stressed are you? Everyone responds to stress differently. Take this quick test to see if you are experiencing stress. The items you check will reveal how much stress is affecting your life.
❏ I feel overly tired or fatigued.
❏ I often am nervous, anxious or depressed.
❏ I have sleep problems.
❏ I have repeated headaches or minor aches and pains.
❏ I worry about my job, finances, relationships.

Emotions, or feelings have a powerful impact on the human body. Positive emotions like appreciation, care and love not only feel good, they are good for you. They help your body’s systems synchronize and work better, as a well-tuned car. Research at the Institute of HeartMath has shown that when you intentionally shift to a positive emotion, heart rhythms immediately change. This shift in heart rhythms creates a favorable cascade of neural, hormonal and biochemical events that benefit the entire body. The effects are both immediate and long lasting.

I will be hosting a 4 session Heart Math class on Tuesdays from 12:00 - 1:30 pm for the month of May. Learn tools to alleviate your stress, and increase your coherence.

When you’re stressed, your body is out of sync. Negative/depleting emotions we feel when stressed such as anger, frustration, anxiety and worry lead to increased disorder in heart rhythms and the nervous system. In contrast, positive/renewing emotions like joy, appreciation, care and kindness create harmony in heart rhythms and the nervous system. Other bodily systems sync up to this rhythm, a process scientists call coherence. Because coherence leads to more mental clarity, creativity and better problem-solving abilities, it’s easier to find solutions and better ways of handling stressful situations.

I will be hosting a Heart Math class in-person in May to teach four Heart Math techniques which is evidence-based to increase HRV and improve nervous system function and improve connection to self and others.

Trauma is a highly activated incomplete biological response to threat, frozen in time. For example, when we prepare to fight or to flee, muscles throughout our entire body are tensed in specific patterns of high energy readiness.

When we are unable to complete the appropriate actions, we fail to discharge the tremendous energy generated by our survival preparations. This energy becomes fixed in specific patterns of neuromuscular readiness. The person then stays in a state of acute and then chronic arousal and dysfunction in the central nervous system.

Traumatized people are not suffering from a disease in the normal sense of the word- they have become stuck in an aroused state. It is difficult if not impossible to function normally under these circumstances.

“With the right person it will always be easy”

“Be with someone who makes life a fairytale”

“I promise to make you happy...forever”

The romanticized version of love has us believing that love will always feel good. Which just isn’t true. I think it’s also important to understand that even in safe relationships there will be conflict, defensiveness, disagreement, and hurt feelings.

Authentic love is an action. It involves meeting vulnerable, fragile, wounded parts of yourself and another person. It takes conscious work and conscious commitment. It also takes self compassion and lots of forgiveness.

We all flawed humans doing the best we can, learning as we go

I tweeted this and the first reply was: “Yes this is true, 60 years later! Such a waste.”

I cannot tell you how many times (literally thousands) I’ve read this response from people’s experiences of growing up this way. The impact is deep. It can last a lifetime. Many people silently suffer or wonder: “what’s wrong with me.” And the wonder is nothing: the body is trying to keep us safe.

Doing my best to bring awareness to this to change future generations and create and emotionally healthy society.

The body remembers, even if the mind can’t recall

Good advice….

‘My Mom once told me that she walked into a room where a couple of friends were discussing her, they didn’t know she was there. She shook her head, smiled and walked away. 🕊
My Mom also told me that she had a friend who talked bad about her, she never knew that Mom found out, Mom never mentioned it. She smiled and walked away from this friendship. 🕊
She told me she had family who chose to shift her out of their life because she stood up for herself for a change. And because she stopped crossing oceans for them when they would not even help her cross a bridge. She smiled, shook her head and walked away. 🕊
So I asked her how she could just walk away from people that betrayed her while pretending to be her friends or family? 🕊
She answered that every time she came to a crossroad like that, she had to decide who will be going forward on her journey with her. This showed her who she cannot take along with her. 🕊
So she explained to me that you should never get mad at a person who betrays you, even in the name of friendship or family. Just gracefully bow out and enjoy your journey with all the new people God puts in their place. 🕊’
