Improve Your Mental News Feed With Positive Self-Talk

Improve Your Mental News Feed With Positive Self-Talk

The constant mental chatter going on in your head is a lot like a social media news feed. Some of it funny, some sad, some inspirational and some negative – what you read depends on what your friends post – in the case of your mind, the ‘friends’ are your beliefs. The mental chatter goes on all day long, partly within your awareness, but mostly automatic and if it’s negative, it leads to undesirable results. If you want to change …

Kundalini is a Sanskrit word that means, “coiled like a serpent.” This extremely potent energy is concentrated at the base of the spine, where it remains coiled and dormant until activated. When the energy is activated it uncoils, …

You’ve heard the serenity prayer, right? “God grant me the serenity to accept the …

How to Start Exercising for a Healthy, Happy You

You know the benefits of exercise. It’s good for you on so many levels. So… why is it so hard to get started? Learning how to start exercising begins somewhere unexpected: in your mind. Even though 50% of people who start an exercise program quit within 6 months, that doesn’t need to apply to you if you make exercise a habit.

Accepting Yourself: See Yourself as Your Best Friends Do!

Accepting Yourself: See Yourself as Your Best Friends Do!

It’s hard sometimes, isn’t it to accept yourself. It’s all too easy to focus on… never getting good at what you want to be good at… never finishing a project… never finding that “thing” that you are meant to do… never losing that last 10 pounds… never finding or staying in a happy, healthy relationship… never bla, bla, bla… right? But accepting yourself is important if you’re going to be happy. Accepting yourself does not mean being okay with poor …
