Hi Everyone!
Here is a quote from Louise Hay's book "You can Heal Your Life"
"How do you begin your day?
What is the first thing you say in the morning when you wake up? We all have something we say almost every day. Is it positive or negative? I can remember when I used to awaken in the morning and say with a groan, "Oh God, another day." And that is exactly the sort of day I would have, one thing after another going wrong. Now when I awaken and before I even open my eyes, I thank the bed for a good night's sleep. After all, we have spend the whole night together in comfort. Then with my eyes still closed, I spend about ten minutes just being thankful for all the good in my life."
How do you begin each day? Are you inclined to looking forward to another day filled with bliss, or are you already focusing on where you are hurt, or how you are dreading to go into the kitchen, because you are on another one of those diets?
Please begin your day from now on, with a more gentle approach. This kindness you are showing toward yourself and toward your surroundings will carry throughout your day, and enhance your experiences more then you might imagine at the moment.
Have a wonderful day!

Does Rushing Serve You?
Hi Everyone!
What does rushing around create for you?
Think about it for a second:
Has rushing around ever made you feel good?
Did it get you anywhere earlier then you thought you should be?
Did you get more done, by cramming more things into a tight schedule, half of it filled with things, you really did not want to do in the first place?
Rushing creates stress, tension, bad mood, and potential for dangerous situations. Therefore we can all agree, that rushing around does not really benefit us, or the people who we are in contact with. The effects on our body and health are obvious, as rushing does not give us a chance to savor our foods, and instead brings us through the drive-through lane of the nearest fast food restaurant.
So what should be do about rushing? Aren't we designed to do so many things in this fast paced society, that we have to rush?
No you do not. I am here to challenge your thinking today about rushing.
Actually you do not get more done, by doing more and faster, because the quality of your work suffers tremendously.
Adding things to your schedule, that you really do not want to do, also does not benefit you.
Here are a few questions I want you to ask yourself before you set your intent for today:
1. Which items on your to-do-list can you get rid off right now, because they are only there to please someone else, and have nothing to do with your purpose or agenda?
2. Do you really get any help from people, when you are rushing them, right along with you?
3. Are your kids more cooperative, if you spent some quality time with them, before you asks them to look after their chores?
4. Can you let go off perfect somewhere in your schedule?
5. Have you thought about what you want to do, really thought about it?
Think about these questions over the next few hours. Over the course of this week, I will be talking more about scheduling, and reduction of rushing, and the effects that relaxing can have not only on your health, but all areas of your life
Have a wonderful day!

Benefits of Taking Yoga Classes
I have been practicing Yoga now for almost a year, and I have to say, that it has benefited me tremendously.
Recommending the practice of Yoga to my clients, and friends is easy, as the benefits are many.
1. Better Breathing:
Practicing slower, and deeper breaths during the Yoga practice helps to improve lung function and aids relaxation.
2. Increased Flexibility:
Through the increased challenges, Yoga poses improve mobility and extend your range of motion.
3. Cardiovascular Health:
Yoga lowers the resting heart rate, increasing your endurance.
4. Focusing on Now:
Yoga focuses you on the moment, and helps you become more aware of your body.
5. Pain relief:
Some poses (guided by a professional) have been known to reduce pain of chronic conditions.
6. Increased strength:
The slow movements of Yoga are a subtle but effective strength training.
7. Improved circulation:
The variety of the poses help to improve the oxygenated blood flow, and help the circulation to work more efficiently.
Find an accredited Yoga instructor in your area, get familiar with his/her practice and have fun! Keep in mind, that Yoga is beneficial for children as well. My daughter has been practicing with me now for the last 6 months, and she is usually the one now that asks for our daily practice!
Have a wonderful day!
