I used to think of exercise as something I did primarily to safeguard my health. The busier I get in my business, though, the more I've come to realize that exercise is KEY to being productive in my business as well. Without it, my energy level, mental alertness, and ability to handle problems plummets. I now schedule exercise into my workday on a daily basis.

Tip: If you're anxious or worried about an upcoming task, expressing your feelings about it in writing may help you perform better at that task.

While previous research has shown that expressive writing can help individuals process past traumas or stressful events, the current study suggests the same technique can help people -- especially worriers -- prepare for stressful tasks in the future.

Today as Hurricane Irma heads toward my brother in FL, I am leaning hard on my Reiki practice and one of its core principles, "Just for today, do not worry." Thinking of everyone affected and holding space for safe outcomes.

My purpose in life orbits around helping others stand resilient in the face of stress and find balance in their lives. I realized this year that there are lots of ways I can accomplish this mission. I’m excited to announce Footbridge Wellness has expanded services to include helping overwhelmed wellness entrepreneurs find balance in their professional and personal lives through virtual assistance support. To be honest, I didn’t really seek this expansion. Really it found me as colleagues asked me to help them with their business tasks after noticing that my inner program director and copyeditor never really turns off and comes uniquely packaged with a sense of positivity, evenness, and grounding stemming from my wellness work. One client shared that it’s healing to have me as an assistant as my energy alone keeps her less stressed. Cool! So here we go…if you know of an overworked, overwhelmed wellness entrepreneur (life coach, healer, fitness buff, etc.) that’s looking for someone who can not only take tasks off their plate but who understands their field and can help them be their best, send them my way. And don't worry, I’m still providing flower essences, Reiki, and energy healing to wellness care clients as well.

Been procrastinating on a task or project you've got to get done? Flower essences to the rescue. Blackberry can help you put your ideas into action. If you're having trouble translating your vision into something concrete, try blackberry. Feeling sluggish, lethargic, or indecisive about taking action? Then try Tansy to get past sluggishness and get going at last.
