SAMPLE NEWSLETTERS:

2/3 Greetings Snow Angels,

So, not only are many of you encountering challenges with your careers, savings accounts, etc we are also experiencing the snowiest and coldest winter in recent history. What are we to do?

It's time to go to the 'F' word.  No, not the one you are thinking, the other one, F-A-I-T-H.  Faith is getting up in the morning and seeing the sun sparkle between the ice-covered branches.  Faith is looking through the bloated and gathering clouds to their silver lining.  Faith is trusting that you will be taken care of, one way or another.  Faith is knowing you can find the solution.

Think about all of the times you came up with solutions to your problems.  You've made it this far solving problems.  Now, to put a more positive spin on the situation, perhaps you can change your job title to 'solution finder' instead of 'problem solver'? Try it on.  If it works, keep it.  If not, know you will find the way-your way.  I have Faith in YOU!

10/16 Glued to the news?  Ripping open your retirement statements in a panic?  Blaming a spouse for a bad investment? Are you taking your worries out on anyone (this includes yourself)?

Okay, maybe we all need to stomp our feet a few times and scream "It's not fair!"  Then what?Are we going to let this economic tremor ruin our entire lives?  NO!  The way around all of this, is to go through it with grace and a smile.  Not a PollyAnna smile, a Mona Lisa smile. The smile of someone who knows a thing or two.  We know what is going on but choose to enjoy our day anyway.  Choose to enjoy the stunning folliage - go ahead- look out your window.  Choose to enjoy a delicious slice of apple pie or just an apple picked in-season.  Enjoy your children, your partners, your pets. Enjoy this bit of beautiful sunshine. 

Find the blessings in changes.  Make cookies with your kids instead of buying them.  I have found out recently that many healthier foods are actually cheaper.  If you are keeping your thermostat down a few degrees take the opportunity to snuggle with someone you love. Do not let the market or the fear of others shrink who you are.  You are an incredible human being with untapped resources.  Find the wellspring of new thought, new inspiration and new
life which flows deep within you.  Choosing to be optimistic at a time like this is the quickest way to feeling back in control of your own life.  Not only that, realistic optimism leads to grounded solutions.

Can't wait to see those Mona Lisa smiles...

9/30 Floods, Banking Crisis, Oil Prices.  Oh my.... We certainly aren't in Kansas any more.  Fear. Doubt. Uncertainty.  The analogy of the yellow brick road in the movie Wizard of Oz is perfectly applicable during times such as these.  Like the Lion we could all benefit from shifting our focus from fear to courage; like the Scarecrow we all need to trust that we have the mind to take us through this adventure; and, it our hearts which will lead us to a better feeling solution.  If we allow our hearts to freeze up with fear and doubt,  anxiety will motivate our choices and we will only be chasing our tails.

Anxiety is often the result of amped up energy.  The good news is, this energy is harnessable.  You do not need to tread water waiting for waves to crash into you time and time again.  Instead grab your boogie board or surf board and ride those waves.  The idea is to get on top of the energy and use it to make those leaps of faith you've been desiring. 'How can I do that?'  The answer is to simply allow the anxiety to flow through your body.  Close your eyes and bring your attention to your spine at the place where you feel the anxiety.  Now visualize opening your spine and letting the energy out.  Relax, breathe and let it flow.

Utilize this energy to facilitate change in any area of your life, relationships, career...  

Our upcoming workshops EFT and Freedom from the Bonds of Thinking will help you to shift the fear to freedom, guaranteed!

The concept of total wellness recognizes that our every thought, word, and behavior affects our greater health and well-being. And we, in turn, are affected not only emotionally but also physically and spiritually."
