These rules may seem simple, but they are not always simple especially when we feel triggered or when we are not feeling well or when we feel attacked. If we can stay centered and breathe into the feelings we are having, and just sit with that feeling, it will pass. You may remember a childhood experience where you felt the same way. Maybe you can forgive the other person for hurting you. Maybe you can forgive yourself for not being able to speak up for yourself back then. You didn’t know you could or how to most likely. Maybe you can renounce the lie you learned about yourself, and give it all to jesus and God to do with it what they need. Then uncover the truth about what happened. I do this in my Be whole sessions, as these triggers are what can cause you to eat cookies, donuts, candy or other comfort foods that make you feel better temporarily. Then guilt and self-loathing and more lies you tell yourself about who you are. You are a precious child of God. You have emotions that need healing. You can make peace with your past so you can love your body, your food and you life….and find these rules easy to do 🙂 Do you get triggered near holidays, like now? What does it make you crave? how do you react ? How hard is it to try these rules from 1-10 and why that number ?

Are you tollarant or patient? What’s the difference? Seems same isn’t it ? Closing the weekend with lovely vacation memories, good food, and wonderful companionship. Returning home to find Coco patiently waiting by the door feels like pure bliss. Coco remains consistently patient, never displaying anger or agitated An attribute we humans could learn from 🐕. Although we humans often demonstrate tolerance in different situations and understand the need for waiting for a change, but the attitude we adopt while awaiting the change makes the difference . Tolerance builds anxiety, It originates from an discomfort to accepting the waiting time, but due to a lack of choice, we swallow it Patience emerges from a stem of faith. It's harbours in the belief that things require time. Tolerance frequently gives rise to impatience. Our discontent with a situation is often short-lived, leading to outbursts. Conversely, patience fosters affection—a willingness to provide others with time and space as an expression of care, understanding the necessity of patient waiting. When life challenges you the next time, consider which attitude you prefer during the wait time tolerance or patience. Your choice can make all the difference on you ☕️☕️ Thanks for being patient, so share your weekend memories worth sharing. If you want to pick up a 📱 and give me a call..

The winter break, whatever your religion, isn't fun for everyone, and can be a very difficult or stressful time for many people. Expectations on feelings, routines or behaviours, overstimulation, heightened feelings of loss of loved ones. This is a reminder to gift yourself what you and your family needs. Open presents early if waiting causes anxiety, open presents alone if other people's reactions or expectations stress you. Choose your favourite foods, not what you think you ought to eat. Get rid of the sparkly lights if they overload your senses. Remove the hype, if hype isn't your thing. Don't feel obliged to accept invitations that make you feel not good. Be alone, be with friends, go for a walk, choose your family - make choices so that you will feel relaxed. This is your time. You are allowed to create new traditions or activities that work for you. You don't have to recreate someone else's blueprint if it doesn't make you happy. Find your happy this holiday. Please note: unless pre-arranged and already in the diary, I will not be working from Wednesday 20 December 2023 until Tuesday 9 January 2024. Please, take care of lovely you, and I'll see you in 2024! #christmas #wintersolstice #winterbreak #happyholidays

Christmas can be a difficult time. Here are some helpful hints on how to survive the Christmas period https://lnkd.in/gwKyR8e

Some simple thoughts as we head into the weekend... Press pause. Give yourself a time out. Take a break. A breather. Remove yourself from the busy-ness of life. Especially when you feel you have no time to do so. For that is when you need it the most. Step away from the chaos that surrounds you. Separate yourself from all the noise and nonsense. Beat a hasty retreat from the racket and wild rumpus. Clear the incessant commotion inside your head that’s tearing your fragile spirit to shreds. And wreaking havoc with your overloaded senses. Stop the madness. Check out of Hotel Crazy. Find your place of refuge. We all have a sacred space, a thinking spot, and a place where peace is waiting. Go there. If you don’t have one, find one or create one. It’s that important. And once there, take the time you need to revive, rejuvenate and refresh. Breathe new life into your weary bones. Resist the urge to overthink or complicate things. Finding a place to rest and recover can be as easy as drawing a hot bath (or an ice-cold one), locking the door to the outside world, pouring a beverage that nurtures your spirit, and closing your eyes as you sink into the sweet soothing serenity of silence. Then just let it all go. Let it go. #relaxation #weekendvibes #stressrelief

Why do we feel warm and marshmallowy on the inside during the Holiday Season? Here’s why… Winter is about quiet time. That nourish-your-soul-and-recharge kind of tranquility you can’t find just anywhere. Winter is a time to catch your breath, to relax the mind, to renew your focus.

Christmas can be a tricky time of year for many of us for many reasons. If your kids are challenging you and your ‘perfect’ holiday time is messy, listen to this. I give you one simple suggestion to guide you in reducing overwhelm.

The holiday season is upon us again, and with it comes holiday sweaters, holiday sweets, and…holiday stress. Don’t get me wrong: I love the holidays. But I’ve had my share of holiday family drama, and I’ve coached clients through scenarios that would make Santa himself start drinking gin straight out of Rudolph’s trough. I’ve learned that the key to staying sane when you're spending time with your family is to tune in to the same magic that makes meditation so powerful. We need to keep ourselves from going into a fight/flight/freeze/fawn brain state, and we do that by accessing our inner observer—that part of our awareness that simply watches everything. Now, you may be able to simply stay in your witnessing self as your mother drops passive-aggressive comments about your kids (or lack thereof), or your brother decides to set up his new 10-person camping tent in the middle of the living room. I myself require stronger medicine: specifically, laughter. And thus it is that each year, I direct my clients and loved ones to Dysfunctional Family Bingo.
