I just presented an interactive seminar on stress relief for life and work for a professional business organization so it's front and center for me.
Before thinking about stress relief, ask yourself what stresses you out. Maybe your response to stress needs an adjustment.
When I'm stressed, I go to a relaxing place in my mind. With my background in hypnosis, I've put together a CD with guided meditations. The CD called "Restore" will be out real soon and can help you de-stress and balance.
Try crunching and munching on some almonds, dark chocolate, oatmeal and tuna fish. The vitamins in them can help you relax and create a better mood. Who ever said, chocolate was forbidden? In moderation, it's loaded with antioxidants that can help you fight off the negative effects of stress.

Stress Busting
All the knowledge we have about stress releasing techniques won't change a fast-paced holiday, or an overwhelmed frame of mind unless we use them. That's the challenge, because so often I have to remind myself and others to breathe more deeply, exercise and play soothing music that slows down a racing pulse.
Our lament is where's the time to fit in those so-called extras or perks? We need to etch out time for relaxation and unwinding; schedule it along with our other important responsibilities. Not because it's a chore. Think of the time as a necessary health and life enrichment activity. Your mindset about it makes a big difference.
I don't know what works for you to release tension. Now, there are so many kinds of stress busters available. When choosing one or two, pick the ones that give you the most satisfaction and release. Find an activity that meets your needs and time constraints. Participating in a yoga or salsa class is not supposed to add to your mounting stress.
Make it work, make it fun and make it often. It's a powerful way to balance your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. After all, aren't we worth it?

Change Your Mind, Change Your World
Change Your Mind, Change Your World
I haven’t always known how powerful my thoughts and emotions can be but I have learned their value. And now, I can’t deny their force and potency in influencing my life and my future.
Recently, I came across a quote by renowned author and clergyman, Norman Vincent Peale who said “Change your thoughts, change your world.”
Those words struck me because of all the unrest and conflict that is in our world right now. And because of how 'thought power' has worked in my own life and in the lives of my clients, students and friends, I believe it can affect how things are today.
Is it possible that my thoughts can not only alter my life but the world? And that your thoughts have the same power to bring about change. I find that not only encouraging but really exciting! And I belive in its potentiality!
I’ve asked myself how we can get together in thought to create changes that I think we consider important such as peace and prosperity. And I’m thinking that we can band together in group thought, no matter where we are on the planet, and consistently think of peace and well-being for all.
That means we need to be attentive to our thoughts and make sure they’re on track with what we’d like to happen in our lives and in our world. If not, we have to change our thoughts to be consistent with what we’d like to create personally and collectively.
I’m excited because I know that this is possible and I believe that thinking together will gather momentum. I've also experienced group thought firsthand and it is powerful!
First we need to be on the same page and we need to believe and trust in the strength of our thoughts and in their capacity to bring about change.

Innovate Yourself
Innovate Yourself
I do a lot of seminars for companies and businesses about how to innovate for more success. There is also a personal side to innovation. Innovation is all about adding value in new ways. How can we add value to our personal and relationship living?
In relationships, innovation can be about changing the routine. When that happens, you add new dimension and beef up the relationship excitement. The same old-same old can get pretty dreary and dull if we let it. And, we can find ourselves in a rut.
Make subtle and upbeat changes for the relationship. Do different activities instead of always opting for the same ones. Do something out-of-character for you with your partner. Just make sure it's a positive and supportive shift and not a harmful one.
Personally, get out of the rut of habitual thinking and behavior. Change something in your appearance to accent a side of you usually played down or ignored. Take up a new hobby or learn something different to expand your mind and your possibilities.

Relationships and Breakups
Relationships are a wonderful gift in this life. The people close to us give us joy and make the moments we spend memorable and love-filled. That is when the relationships are working successfully for all concerned.
And not every moment in a relationship is perfect; that's unrealistic.
But more often than not our relationships enrich us and we give back to the people who matter to us.
Sometimes relationships fail despite what we try to do to salvage them.
We all know it's not easy to let go and can lead to alot of upset and confusion.
That's why I wrote these two E-Books to help people make sense of a breakup, heal and get back their lives.
These new E-Books on: Breaking Up: Letting Go with Grace & Surviving a Breakup: Your Guide to Recovery have the answers.
What do you think are the ingredients that hold relationships together?
Is it possible to make even the most difficult marriage or partnership work?
When do you think it's time to throw in the towel?
Stay tuned to the third relationship book I'm busy writing that will tell the secrets to staying together and keeping a relationship vibrantly alive.
As always I value your comments and love hearing from you.
