Once Upon a Time...
Don’t you just love a good story?
The best teachers teach with stories and we vibe with someone only once we know what their story is.
Regardless of what is happening around us, the story we tell ourselves about our circumstances is of our own creation and shapes our reality.
When we begin to tell ourselves better stories, live a better life.
If you’re ready to begin living in your hero's journey then let's start building writing a better story for you...

You need to buy a weighted blanket,” he said.
“What's a weighted blanket?” I asked.
“It's a heavy blanket that you curl up under and it makes you feel safe and secure,” he replied.
So I bought a weighted blanket — and I love it.
For some reason, having weight spread out over our bodies makes us feel comforted like we are being hugged by the universe.
Similarly, we can have an emotional weighted blanket - a way of handling stressful situations so we end up feeling warm and supported rather than anxious and threatened.
In this JumpStart, I give you techniques for creating your own emotional weighted blanket…

Training your mind is like training a dog.
The most important thing is to teach both the dog and the mind to first “sit” and then stay.
When we get the mind to sit it is anchored in the present moment.
The challenge is then to get the mind to stay because it wants to run around like a little puppy.
This is where a mantra comes in handy.
The mantra is like giving the dog a stick to chew on.
The mind has something to come back to and to focus on during mantra meditation.
If you are ready to embrace the simplicity (and the challenge), let's explore Mantra Meditation…

Here's a question for you…
Which is more difficult, meditating with your eyes open or with your eyes closed?
The answer may surprise you...
It is actually more difficult to meditate with your eyes closed because in your field of vision there are a limited number of distractions whereas in your mind, as we all know, there are limitless things to try and garner your attention.
So, if you're looking for a powerful introduction into mindfulness that is also not as difficult, then try sitting or walking zen.
In this JumpStart, I teach you how to get started plus how to add this mindfulness exercise without requiring any additional time out of your day…

Here's a trivia question for you:
What do America's favorite vacation destinations and America's favorite thrill rides both have in common?
Answer: water.
People are drawn to water for vacation. They go to Lakes, the beach, the river--anywhere there is water people are drawn like moths to a light bulb.
The same is true for thrill rides that plunge people down with a big splash or sprinkle them with water to make things seem more real--people love an element of water in their thrill rides.
Perhaps it's because our bodies, our planet, and ideally our diet are comprised of 72% water.
One of the best mindfulness exercises I have found to have drop stress and gain Focus is the Skipping Stone Meditation.
Learn how to relax your mind and connect with water that is around you in the very air that you breathe and the body you are starting now...

Do you remember this old joke that people would post at work? (I've always thought this was funny and a good commentary on life.)
“I am currently out of my office. I have gone to look for myself. If I find myself I will be right back. Otherwise, please wait.”
Few of us are present in our own lives.
We dwell in the past or fantasize about the future.
And, stress is always about focusing on the past or the future.
One of the best ways to ground yourself in the present is to describe what is happening as it is occurring.
Let me teach you this technique as well as an advanced method for grounding yourself instantly in the present moment...
