Happy New Year, 2023  

The new year is often a time to reflect on the past year and think about what we want to do, be or have in the year ahead. It inspires us to consider new prospects and an opportunity to begin again, such as the feeling one gets when one opens a new journal or on the first day of a school year. It evokes anticipation of possibilities and a determination to align with more of what delights and inspires us. Many set intentions, make resolutions, and even create vision boards. We want aspects of our lives to be different. We may want to improve our health, increase our finances, enjoy more loving relationships, etc.  

For the past few years, my husband and I have enjoyed a releasing ceremony, where we write down all that we want to let go of and burn it. After some prayer and letting go, we write our intentions for the new year. This writing we keep. I like to post it to see it as a reminder of what I’m inspired to call into my life in...

The holiday season is upon us once again!

Although it is often a joyous time of the year filled with friends, family, and giving, it can also be a period of excess stress resulting in emotional highs and lows, loneliness, anxiety, unhappiness, and sadness.

In addition, holiday triggers can incite challenges. Doing too much or too little and being separated from loved ones at this particular time can lead to many unresolved feelings, stress, and sadness.

It is no wonder many people end up abandoning their health and wellness goals.

The Science Behind Food Cravings

There is no doubt that certain foods have physically addictive qualities that can sabotage our best efforts to make healthy food choices and eat mindfully.

The food industry creates hyper-palatable foods – super sugary, salty, and fatty foods designed to addict our brains. Foods are carefully researched to pinpoint the exact "bliss point" for taste (e.g., making sure it's really sweet, but not too sweet) and "mouth feels" for texture (e.g., just the just-right level of smoothness), maximizing not only tastiness but also things that food marketing experts call "cravability," "snackability" and "moreishness."

As a result, these foods create powerful addiction pathways in our brains; they can disrupt our natural ability to listen to our bodies and eat mindfully. They make it difficult, if not impossible, to make sound, intentional food choices.

Processed junk foods have a powerful effect on the brain's reward centers. Brain neurotransmitters like...

Are you in the habit of turning to food when you are not hungry? Is too much between-meal snacking expanding your waistline? Enjoying a snack between meals can often make us feel good, boost our mood, and even improve our productivity at work. However, mindless snacking can lead to binge eating, unnecessary calories, and other associated complications. 

This video offers some perspective and guide you in a tapping sequence to be more mindful when feeding yourself.

As you prepare for the New Year you may be evaluating your health and fitness goals. Do you want to release some excess weight, get more fit and feel healthier this New Year?

Establishing and committing to healthy eating and exercise is the foundation of self-respect and self-confidence. How you treat yourself and your body dramatically influences how you feel about yourself and how others see and treat you.

The state of your mind is more important to reaching your health and fitness goals than diet and exercise. Your conscious and subconscious mind working together will enable you to release excess weight, get fit and sustain it.

If you have been unable to sustain healthy habits in the past, feel discouraged and maybe even consider abandoning your goals, I encourage you to take another approach. There is a solution!

I know firsthand. I remember what it’s like to feel discouraged and disgusted with myself due to countless vain attempts to sustain a lifestyle that...

"Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy."

~  Robert Tew 

The more you practice establishing healthy boundaries, the more people will treat you as a worthy, self-respecting individual, and the stronger your self-esteem will become, all to the long-term benefit of yourself and others. The healthier the self-esteem, the healthier the boundaries you can implement.

Overcome Food Cravings with EFT Tapping

Food cravings occur for various reasons. They may occur because we are not getting the nutrients we need, our blood sugar may be imbalanced due to skipping meals or not getting enough protein, food allergies, too much stress in our lives (both internal and external stress), or underlying issues and beliefs may be driving us to crave certain...

Join me in applying EFT Tapping to self-regulate.

This tapping sequence is an essential practice to set you on the path of transformation.

As human beings, we are constantly striving to change, whether to change our self-concept and be more open and accepting of our life circumstances or setting intentions and reaching goals.

However, when we strive to make changes in our lives, a part of us often resists, even if they are positive changes. We are moving out of the familiar, and this triggers a stress response.

As you calm the brain and body, you can ease into change more effectively.

This video will support your transformation process.

Enjoy!
