Every hormone in your brain has a specific mission. 

The mixture of hormones creates different effects in our brain and body. For example, oxytocin is a hormone that plays a role in social bonding, sexual reproduction, and during and after childbirth. Dopamine is a hormone that keeps you focused on a task. Serotonin is the hormone that makes you feel happy. When we put them together...voila!

We climax during sex.

Hormones are chemicals that once they are in balance make our body function like a Swiss watch—perfectly in rhythm with our emotions, our mind and our physical condition. 

When the balance is broken, it usually occurs  in the form of a mental, emotional or physical breakdown. For example, anxiety can come from a release of unbalanced hormones. 

Depression comes from an umbrella of unbalanced hormones. If outside chemicals are added to the mix, it completely alters the chemistry of our body and brain, causing unnatural...

How can we best feed our brain to get the most out of it? The answer is by eating sufficient fats, protein, antioxidants, carbs, minerals, and vitamins. But how much of each? Our brain is 90% fat. Therefore, our consumption of fat is crucial to a healthy brain and is what allows our brain to stay fresh, soft, and happy. 

When you think of fat, what food did you picture in your mind? 

I want to encourage you to think about good plant-based fats such as:

* Coconut oil 

* Olive oil.

* Avocado.

* Flaxseed oil.

These are the fats your brain thrives off of. 

There is only one animal fat that does make the list of good fats, can you guess what it is?

The animal fat we’re looking for is cold-pressed cod liver oil. 

Protein.

 To our brain and body, protein is protein. What matters really is the amount we have in every meal. A good amount of protein would be the size of the palm of your hand, a larger hand, a larger amount of...

While you are not careful in choosing the people you mingle with, they are busy keeping you where they feel comfortable, which might not be what you desire.  

I see my friend, ask how it’s going. What is the tone of their response?

“I’m so tired..”  “My life is so ____________.” (Insert negative comment here.)Hard, stressful, boring, busy, f***ed up.

Let’s face it, we all talk like this at times in our life, maybe now more frequently.

So, what makes up what we are and what we say? 

The answer is Spirit.

Spirit is all we are, not just your physical self. Spirit is your thoughts.  What happens when we think repeatedly negative things? We attract problems or bad attitudes. If we can attract problems by thinking negatively, why don’t we reverse it?  Why don’t we spend more time thinking of what we want and attract those things?  

This law applies to...

How many times have you used the words ‘exactly' or ‘perfect’ in a conversation?  

What about the word ‘ideal’? 

Usually, the ideal is used to describe the best result.

The use in this case is incorrect. The real meaning of “ideal” is the moment we really fall in love with an idea. For instance, it might have been the first time an idea enters your mind. 

You created the idea out of nothing, it happened spontaneously and brought joy to you just by being in your thoughts. 

This is the correct definition of the ideal, and here’s why it’s so important.  Why would I tell you this? Because I want you to know that everything is created twice.

At first, it exists as a thought and stays in this state until you manifest it as a physical thing. 

First is created in your mind and when you take action is created physically. I created my ideal the day I adopted my...

Your intuition is your guidance.

 You are much more than what you can see. The more aware you are of your inner strengths, the more you use them correctly.   Nothing can go wrong. 

In the movie, Fried Green Tomatoes, Evelyn Couch (Kathy Bates), went about her daily life, taking care of everyone else she could on a daily basis.  She was living her life through other people.    Evelyn knew what she wanted to have in her life, but she kept it in the background of her mind, not the foreground.  Feelings kept creeping up, yet she pushed them back down because society told her how to live her life.  

This led to a feeling of dissatisfaction.  Why did this happen?  Because Evelyn didn’t know how to do it any differently.  She never asked for help, but she knew deep down that she deserved better.  

What are your inner strengths?   

• Intuition

• Will

• Perception

• Imagination

• ...

Millions of people around the world have found the secret to a happy and successful life.  Why not you?

Abundance, it’s what we’re all searching for, but what is it? 

Abundance is found in giving more than receiving.  Picture this, you enter a room full of people.  

Colleagues, friends, and clients you meet are left with a profound feeling. You are adding value to their lives. 

Not necessarily monetary value, but the overall feeling of increase.  It is commonly experienced simply as the desire for a more abundant life, more experiences, and richer ones, at that. 

Transfer to others the impression of going forward with everything you do.  All people receive the idea that you are a successful person.  Give people you meet the message of increase by embodying the spirit of success. 

Do everything with the firm belief that you are an advancing being, and that you carry with you the...

March 2020 was a turning point.

“Stay at home, and only leave the house for essentials. No visitation of family or friends, and work from home if you can.” 

Millions were fired or furloughed all over the world, millions of square feet of rental space were made vacant. Children were homeschooled, teachers began to teach from home. Therapists, coaches, and group sessions all went virtual.

Surgeries…better not need any serious medical treatment, as COVID-19 consumed the resources in hospitals.

Millions of people struggled to feed their families or keep their homes. 

We all adapted to the environment with more or less ease.

Some people have had a harder time adjusting because they don’t know how to create a new environment for themselves. Many of us have built up some level of fear depending on our circumstances. One thing is for sure, all of us have developed some level of “hypervigilance” during this time, depending on the...
