- Breathing is a simple but effective technique when you feel stress, sadness, anxiety, or frustration. Remember to intentionally Breath Slow Deep breaths, a minimum of 3 in sequence. This helps to relax muscles, provides oxygen to the brain, reduces stress quickly, and assists is calming to your mind. This helps equip you to make the decisions that serve you best.
- As you may or may not be aware, I have great deal of training in NLP and the importance of language in our relationships (see professional counselling background). Pay attention to the words you speak, your thoughts and thinking. Are you speaking and thinking about what you want or what you do not want? As you focus on and understand what you want, the way you would like things to be, sound, look and feel, you start a process of direction and attraction. This will help you to become happier, more content, more successful and achieve a better life.
- Remember that the past is the past and it is truly only useful to plan for how you want things to be. All of your life exists in the future. As you focus on where you are going or how you would like it to be, your odds of achieving it increase in a huge way!
- Every successful person utilizes counsellors, therapists and coaches. Often a number of them in different areas of expertise. That is how life progresses, and how freedom and success occur more rapidly. We all need help at some point, especially if we want to achieve great things. Who are your resources?
- Ensure you have a consistent water intake. This assists in all physical and mental functions. Providing proper levels of water to the brain will assist in all brain functions, as well, therefore assisting in clearer thoughts and actions. Plus higher levels of wellness and abilities to be “adaptive” to life situations. You can get some free information by request by contacting us.
- Study, read and/or listen to “positive”, uplifting, and insightful information every day. Even a short paragraph will assist you in achieving greater calmness, joy, fun, health and well being. Again, email for some suggestions. It may sound simple, but positivity can spread throughout all aspects of your life.
