#StressManagement #SelfCare #SelfNurturing #Wellness #WellnessDimensions #WellnessWheel #PhysicalWellness #GiveMe30 #Fitness Forgive me for this blasphemous statement I am about to make. However, sometimes I wish there was a P.E. class for adults. Like one we had to go to just like back in grade school. Maybe this is just the ramblings of the mind of a person who overindulged a little too much over the last two days. But looking back on my youth, I can see how much of a safeg

#StressManagement #SelfCare #SelfNurturing #Wellness #EmotionalWellness #WellnessDimensions #Mindfulness #STOPMethod #StressPause We all have life stresses. School. Work. Children. Spouses. Bosses. Money. In-laws. Bills. Repairs. The list goes on and on. Overtime, the accumulation of these unchecked stresses can lead to a sense of inner emptiness. We may find ourselves disappointed with ourselves, with other people, or with the world in general. If we are not careful and thes

Laughter, Nature's Free Stress Relief Medicine

#StressManagement #SelfCare #SelfNurturing #Wellness #EmotionalWellness #Laughter #LaughALittle #BeSilly This past week has been no laughing matter for me. I swear my car hates me. She is down for the count, again. This time they are only asking for a kidney in repair costs. I had a brief shining moment of a speaking engagement that I felt went decently well. Only to end the week with symptoms of strep throat (yet no official diagnosis). Mentally and emotionally drained with

7 Sleepy Time Foods to Increase Melatonin

#StressManagement #SelfCare #SelfNurturing #Wellness #PhysicalWellness #EmotionalWellness #Sleep #Melatonin #MelatoninFoods One of the number one complaint I receive as a therapist, coach, and friend is about sleep. In our fast-paced, hustle mentality society the consensus seems to be that we aren't progressing if we aren't busy. And we are always busy. When it comes to sacrifices to be made in order for us to get more done, sleep is one of the first things out the window. Th

Dialing Down the Volume in a Noise Polluted World

#StressManagement #SelfCare #SelfNurturing #Wellness #EnvironmentalWellness #EmotionalWellness #Nature As a therapist and coach, I have seen first-hand the uncomfortableness of silence. When we think of it, we are surrounded by noise pollution. The beeping and buzzing of our phones and tablets. The humming of copy machines and computers. The vibrations and hums from the air-conditioning and heating units. The roar of garbage trucks and 18 wheelers. The rumble and swoosh of ve

Media such as movies, TV, and even books has popularized the idea of comfort food during times of stress or heartbreak. When I examine my own life, I can admit to a pattern of eating more French fries, chips, cookies, or ice-cream when I am stre

How Much Sleep Debt Do You Own?

#StressManagement #SelfCare #SelfNurturing #Wellness #PhysicalWellness #EmotionalWellness #Sleep #SleepDeprivation #SleepDebt Being in debt can be stressful to your overall health. Stresses over finances can make it more difficult for you to save or budget. When we are in a financial struggle, it puts a cognitive tax on us. We hyperfocus on the problem until we can find a solution; however, when our debt problem doesn't end, our mind continues to churn away at the problem thu

#StressManagement #SelfCare #SelfNurturing #Wellness #EmotionalWellness #SelfTalk #Reframing Our minds create connections between things and it's constantly trying to figure out the world around us and how it works. For things it isn't sure of, our mind makes its best guess. However, often times to us, it doesn't feel like a guess. It feels like truth. Our assumptions, or stories create our reality. Our unconscious interpretations of situations create how we consistently feel

My morning hygiene routine was, let's just say, embarrassingly lacklu

7 Tweaks to Your Habits for Better Sleep

I find myself uttering this phrase throughout my workday more than any other phrase; however, I do believe, "I don't get paid enough," is a close second. I admit that like most other people, I sometimes fall victim to the demands of society's fast paced, do more, mentality. My sleep schedule is often one of the first things to go.
