Tell me about your thoughts……
When you get a call from school…..do you think the worst?

Did you ever stop and wonder why you think what you think? Why do we think the worst case scenario? Why do we replay negative thoughts over and over again??

I have had the amazing opportunity of studying the brain and human behavior. It is fascinating!!! Did you know we think far more negative thoughts than positive? L80-90% of our thoughts are negative unless we have retrained our brains. Want some help rewiring your brain so you can decrease the negativity and start filling it with more sunshine and rainbows?? Who doesn’t need a little more of that right now?? ☀️🌈

I can see and feel people all around us are struggling with a lot of stress and worry. I feel you, you are not alone!💝⭐️💝

Sometimes when I am just having a rough day or week, I have to stop, think, let go of my worries for a moment and think about someone else. There is usually always someone that may be struggling more than me that I can reach out to and help. Every single time I do this, it always puts a smile on my face and helps me keep perspective. I love lifting others!!

Now, if you are struggling and can't imagine helping someone else right now, you need to reach out to another person to ask for help. There is no reason to go it alone-there are so many people walking this Earth that truly love helping others!! Don't be afraid to ask. 💝⭐️💝

Why do you always why do we always put ourselves last?

Why do we suffer silently?

What happens when we put ourselves first?

Can you think about the last time you did something nice for yourself how you felt?

And how did others around you feel because your bucket was full?

So my question to you is : why do you always put yourself last?

Have you ever looked back and noticed how many problems you have resolved and the resolution turned out better than you expected?

Did you know that 80-90% of the time we assume the resolution to our problem will turn out negatively? This is called NEGATIVE AUTOMATIC THINKING. We all do it and it truly is automatic unless we practice something else. PRACTICE WHAT?

When we really look at our problems and think about them from a distance we can see more clearly. This is called METACOGNITION. Metacognition takes some practice but it is a beautiful tool that helps us seek solutions to our problems that are not so negative or catastrophic. This kind of thinking gets us out of a lot of trouble and eases our worries and fears.

I love in class when I get to teach NEGATIVE AUTOMATIC THINKING and people start laughing because they realize how often they think this way. Want to learn more, PM me or sign up for a class! See the testimonials and see what people love about the classes I offer. 💝

HAPPY MONDAY FRIENDS!!💝🌈

Let's talk about stress for a minute. We all have it, we all know what it is but where do you feel it in your body? How does stress impact your life and your decisions?

Do you take time to address your STRESS or do you let it take over you? What if 5-20 minutes a day was all you needed to start getting stress out of the driver's seat? Would that be worth the investment of your time?

What if those few minutes a day helped you better help your kids? Helped you get into less battles with them? Helped you feel more patient? Helped you navigate the challenges of today's world with more ease. Would it be worth it? 💝🌈

Embrace the beautifully broad spectrum of the human experience ✨ With resiliency we can get through anything. We are strong human beings!

Resilience: (noun) the ability to recover, or adapt, from difficulties, adversity, etc.

This is such an important skill to have. As you accept that life is full of good and bad, happiness and difficulties, and as you learn to cope with that, life gets a whole lot better 💜

Happiness is an accumulation of positive habits practiced daily.
For most of us, happiness doesn't just happen every day by luck. 🍀
It is a state of mind but also a practice. So what does your practice look like? Do you have one? Do you want to learn HOW to be and feel happier? Do you wonder WHY some people are so happy?

Let's be honest here, happiness doesn't mean you are skipping around all day singing like Snow White. What it does mean is that the world looks brighter, after sadness you know you will feel happiness again, and you can laugh with ease.

If you are looking to find more happiness in your life, JOIN me this month for THE HAPPINESS PROJECT. Check out the website in the comments for details!!

How I unlearned my old self.....

I have had my share of bumps and bruises in life like everyone else has. I like to think of each experience as a lesson that prepares me for the next phase of my life. I have often had people ask me why I am so optimistic- I am not always this way but I totally prefer to be-it feels so much better than living the negative Nelly way. Being optimistic is a choice in my control and the key to my happiness. Lots of things are not in our control but the things that are.....I am going to definitely take full advantage of them!!! The other things that are in my control are my reactions to the curve balls life throws at me! Oh yes, I have learned to rewire my brain and can respond to difficult people with grace and poise....not every time but more often than not!! I am a work in progress. I wake up each day and ask myself “what is the best version of myself I can be today?” I have sat in meditation unlearning the old self and rewiring the new self. I have decided I am worth giving myself the time of meditation. Heck, I work out my body most every day, what about my mind!!??? What would I do without my mind?? Don’t I want a healthy mind too?? You bet I do!! Meditation and a positive attitude have helped me through so many many difficult situations. I would love to teach you how. It really isn’t complicated. It is a choice to make time for yourself, I am talking like 20 minutes a day!!!

I would like to share with the world my love of positivity and how you really can live a life feeling zen, joyful, and more positive.

I teach this approach by using the 9 week PART program designed by the Benson-Henry Institute of Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. The PART program is derived from the SMART program and is backed by pure science.

I’m certified by the Benson-Henry Institute (BHI) of Mind Body Medicine at MA General Hospital to teach their PART Program (Positivity and Relaxation Training). Dr. Herbert Benson can be largely credited for demystifying meditation and helping to bring it into the mainstream by renaming meditation the “Relaxation Response”. His studies in the 1960’s and 1970’s were able to show that meditation promotes better health, especially in individuals with hypertension. People who meditate regularly enjoy lower stress levels, increased wellbeing and even were able to reduce their blood pressure levels and resting heart rate. The Relaxation Response is essentially the opposite reaction to the “fight or flight” response. According to Dr. Benson, one of the most valuable things we can do in life is to learn deep relaxation- making an effort to spend some time every day quieting our minds in order to create inner peace and better health.
