Have you ever been out walking and noticed how the sunlight is warming your face or is beautifully lighting up the trees? You notice that you’re feeling good. You many even pause for a moment, in gratitude. If you’ve had this type of experience or sensation, you’ve most likely felt a “glimmer.”
There is a newer concept of glimmer…………
Read MoreIn this post, let’s find out what emotional dysregulation is and what we can do to learn how to regulate, so we can live a healthy life, emotionally, mentally, physically and even, spiritually.
Unpleasant and intense emotions are a natural part of life. You may feel anger, sadness, anxiety and these emotions are a universal part of the human experience. These emotions are not good or bad; they just are.
What happens if these feelings come too much, too quickly and just feel too difficult to manage?
Many of us experience emotional dysregulation. If you have real trouble regulating your emotions and getting back to ‘baseline’ after getting really anxious or angry, you may have emotional dysregulation.
Read MoreWe know that emotions are a regular part of daily life. It’s holiday time and we may feel happy (and anxious) to see friends and loved ones and we may feel sad when we miss loved ones or angry when someone lets us down.
While we, consciously, know and expect to feel these emotions, some of us may experience emotions that are more volatile, with higher highs and lower lows. These ups and downs can impact your life and your relationships.
No matter what the reason is for intense emotional changes, we can learn better self-regulation and strategies to manage and control our emotions.
Read MoreWe start out in life as who we are; open, curious, innocent….
As we grow, we add layers to our experience and of how people think we should be and the ‘rules’ of our particular community and society. These get repeated and replayed and we may find our real selves disappearing, little by little. We often conform in order to feel safe and when we don’t, we may believe there is something wrong with us.
Read MoreWant to give yourself the greatest gift?……………Accept the Authentic YOU!
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” -------Ralph Waldo Emerson
It’s holiday season and many are thinking about gifts to give to those we love.
Do you think of giving the most important person in your life……….YOU……..a gift?
Read MoreEach of us is a unique & beautiful being and we are meant to live our life aligned with who we really are (authentic).
Whether you choose to be single or to be in a relationship, these are both valid options for living your life…and one is not better than the other.
Read MoreAt one point or another in life, most of us want to find our life purpose. Purpose is your WHY.
This is an essential endeavor for living a long, happy and healthy life but, it can also be challenging……..
Read MoreYou like your lifestyle, your job, where you live but…………..it’s not exciting you anymore. Your life looks great and successful on the outside, but inside, you feel like something is missing.
The truth is we can follow what society, our families and our communities tell us to do but, in the end we’re all trying to figure out why we’re here, on this Earth.
As many other cultures know, without a sense of your life purpose, you’ll continue feeling stuck or like you’re spinning around in circles.
Read MoreAnxious? Have you felt like you’re in a highly anxious state (body & mind) and you feel like there’s no way out?
I have and it feels really uncomfortable, all-consuming and that it can’t be controlled. Right? But it can be……….
Let’s talk about anxiety and some easy ways to soothe it….and your nervous system. You can do it!
Read MoreWhen you look at nature and the flow of the seasons, it becomes clear that autumn is a spiritually unique season. Autumn is all about endings, a very natural thing.
In life, each journey finds its end and fall (look at the name) is a seasonal reminder of this natural process.As humans, we tend to hold on to what and who we know and sometimes, we cling when we’re better off letting go. We like safety, familiarity and certainty and we may not realize that there’s something better out there for us. We just have to let go and wait.
Read MoreIn Part 1, we went over some of the differences between introverts and extroverts and that most of us are ambiverts, sitting somewhere in the middle of this spectrum or continuum of PERSONALITY TYPES.
In Part 2, we’ll continue to look at the different personality types, and where they get their ENERGY from.
Enjoy the list of famous INTROVERTS and their successes! It may surprise you ……
Read MoreHave you noticed that people often use the terms ‘introvert’ and ‘extrovert’ to imply shyness and nerdiness for introverts and loud and aggressive for extroverts? Neither of these is entirely true, so let’s get to the real definitions and understanding of what this personality spectrum or continuum of:
Introvert…….Ambivert…….Extrovert, really is.
Read MoreYes; you’re seeing that right………..there are many BENEFITS of being alone!
I know that in our society, we’re not encouraged to be alone………for silence, introspection, to hear your intuitive inner voice, to unwind, and be creative.
Learning and adopting some habits and self-care practices can help you to learn and enjoy being happy while on your own. This can include improving your coping skills, discovering what gives you joy, or maybe finding a creative outlet…….
Read for more TIPS!
Read MoreLoneliness is NOT the same as being alone. You can be surrounded by people and feel lonely. You can be alone and feel free….and great. As a matter of fact, it’s said that if you can go to a movie or show alone or sit in a café/restaurant by yourself and feel comfortable, then you’ve learned to love yourself.
Congratulations! There’s nothing more important than this…….and knowing that you’ll be in great company every day of your life………………….with YOU!
Read MoreWe all know what negative thought patterns and beliefs are because, to a greater or lesser extent, we humans all experience them, some people more than others.
It’s vital to our emotional, mental, physical and even, spiritual health, to understand why we have them………
Read MoreIn Part 1, we discussed ANT’s or automatic negative thoughts. We call these negative thoughts automatic or default because our neural pathways have been carved out to hold these thoughts, often over years. There is a biological basis to these negative thoughts: safety and survival. These ANTs kept and keep us alert and hypervigilant to danger.
So, we can thank them for protecting us but still learn how to deal with them, so they don’t control or overwhelm our thinking and our lives…..(refer to the previous blog post: part 1).
Let’s go over how to deal with negative thoughts (ANTs) and Cognitive Distortions (CD), so that they don’t affect your mood, relationships and life in a negative way…….
Read MoreWe’ll often return to the subject of trauma in these blog posts; most of us have or will experience it in one way or another. For now, though, this will be the last in this series about: Intergenerational (transgenerational, generational. historic) trauma. There is a lot of research being done in this field….
It helps to look closely and see if you have signs and symptoms of intergenerational trauma. It also helps to get help, when it comes to working through and healing trauma.
Read MoreThis is the second part of a series discussing Intergenerational (transgenerational) trauma. We’ll go over what it is, how it may show up in people’s lives, its effects and how to start the healing process and journey, so that the chain of intergenerational trauma, extending through generations, can be healed and broken.
Read More……Even with intergenerational trauma, there is good. You, usually, become more compassionate and understanding of the suffering of other people and, you may also develop more resilience, a good and helpful quality for life. You can have the most important role of all……to break the chain of this trauma. Emotional healing is possible…and, though it can follow a ‘rollercoaster ride’ path (lots of ups and downs), it can shift your way of thinking and subsequently, your behaviors, actions…..and your destiny.
Read MoreLet’s continue this subject and start with the positive effects of the experience of trauma; we tend to become more compassionate and understanding of others.
Many people who have gone through trauma tend not to speak of it, but speaking about it would help others….to understand. In our society, we don’t always know what to say or how to help. Often, it’s just basic; ask someone to tell you about their trauma, pain, etc. It’s better to ask and listen than to ignore. Just asking if there’s something you could do for them.
