Mark your calendar for Aug. 23rd for a unique wellness expo to learn how to help your body holistically!! So many offerings from a myriad of vendors... and if you want to just chill and read a book from the extensive library, there's time and space for that. ❤️📚

Love & connection are needed! We are so excited to connect with friends & our extended holistic fun family at this years annual Holistic Health Fair. Please stop by our tent to Create Art, Experience Coherent Sound, and just hang out! My honey will have honey! You may want to bring a lawn chair, a gift to share, and an open & curious mind. Bring your heart & your presence.

Science has already proven how powerful our mind can be.

Sometimes, when I'm feeling my mood take a turn, I notice a lot of negatives start popping up everywhere I look. 👀

One thing that really helps (and actually works faster than most tools I've tried!), is to re-frame the negative thought/situation/conversation so it has a positive spin.

🚗That traffic delay could prevent a close call down the road.

🍵The broken dish created space in the cupboard and I rarely used it anyways.

🦹‍♂️That small-talk conversation with a stranger made me late, but really got my wheels turning.

The most common re-frame I find myself making is to see a potentially negative situation as an opportunity to learn. That jaw-clenching experience may have just put me on a new, unexpected path ...and it may end up leading me right where I needed to be.

Next time you find yourself thinking darker-than-light thoughts, try to see it from another perspective...what is the universe teaching you this time? 💫

Every scenario can be an experience with the potential to change our track...that day or week or year.... but if we allow ourselves to get stuck in that cycle of our own negativity, we just might miss that ride.

If you've never tried meditation because you're intimidated by it, or think it doesn't work (there's tons of research on its health benefits!), or don't think you can do it...

Try adding an affirmation. It's just a little something you say in your mind (or out loud) to keep your brain focused. Keeping the brain focused on one thing is all you need to do. Well, that and breathe. Take those big, deep, belly breaths.

You can stare at the flicker of a candle, watch a leaf move with the wind, or close your eyes and repeat your affirmation.

Your affirmation phrase should be positive, encouraging, and/or motivating. It could also be something you need to be reminded of, such as you are loved, safe, or have good health or a home. The simpler, the better, especially when you are just starting out. Below are more ideas to get you started.

Don't feel like you have to meditate for 10 minutes. Try for 5, or 3. Maybe it brings up anxiety. So maybe just try for 1 full minute.

Give yourself some grace. Every little bit counts, and every effort of meditation will change your brain. Try again tomorrow, for another session of the same length. Building the time will come naturally. You just need to start.
