Are You Ready to Access Your Inner Strength and Get True Fulfillment?
Sometimes trying to stay ahead in the world today is like competing in a 10K with a bum leg. Often what gets left behind is time to take care of ourselves. You may consider yourself lucky if you have time to get a manicure every other month, or go to the gym once a week. Sadly, what should be our first priority has become our last. If you want to be younger you simply must change your daily to-do list. And then make sure you actually do what is on the list.
The end of Winter is not the only time to think about Spring Cleaning. Whether it’s your house, your mind, or your fountain—find the time to get rid of “old stuff” that no longer serves you. Living consciously is more about getting rid of things rather than accumulating them....
Imagine a world free of worries--a place to explore with no designated trails, and no signs prohibiting access. Your only purpose is for you to find ways to enliven your spirit. The words of the Dalai Lama whisper softly in your ear, "The purpose of our lives is to be happy." Your body is immune to stress, your mind free from the chatter of mundane concerns. The world that is before you is not some alien nation; it is right where you live and breathe in this very moment. Being here makes you feel young again, only better.
Are You Burying Your Head in the Sand? Wake Up & Take Charge of Your Health! Funny, how ironic life can sometimes be. There I was sitting in the waiting room of my friendly neighborhood holistic dentist, waiting to get my mercury fillings removed. On a mission to eliminate my exposure to as many of the harmful toxins that I had learned about as I could, I was now down to the last few items on my hit list. While waiting my turn for the chair, I picked up a popular Women's magazine. Always on the lookout for new and useful information, I attempted to do a little multi-tasking while waiting.
Do you find yourself feeling envious of comedians like Chris Rock or Robin Williams; they have such a gift, to be able to make people laugh. You might find yourself thinking, “It must be so wonderful to have the ability to have that talent. I wish I was able to have access to that part of myself.” The truth is, you can. It is a common misconception that there are the creative or right-brain people, and then there are the logical, or left-brain people. The truth is we all have a left side of the brain, and a right side of the brain. Therefore, we are all capable of accessing either side. So, if you have thought being a creative genius is out of your reach, think again.
If you are one of those enlightened people who have discovered the secret of living a happy life all the time, this article is not for you. If you are like me, sometimes you wake up in a great mood, ready to face the day. And then, on other days, it’s all you can do to peel back the covers, and force yourself to get out of bed. We are human, and sometimes we allow ourselves to feel sorry for ourselves for no particular reason. Maybe we ate one too many chocolate chip cookies the night before, or maybe your faithful companion (your dog, not your spouse) pooped on your carpet, and you are expecting a visitor tomorrow morning. Whatever the reason, these helpful tips are meant to take you from functionally anxious to pretty darn happy:

Life can be compared to an enormous multileveled structure - a school-house filled with countless classrooms. Each classroom represents an intention - either acted upon or not acted upon. Some of the life lessons taught, and often re-taught, are mind-numbingly repetitive in nature. It seems we are slow to catch on to the lesson at hand.
Men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after, Henry David Thoreau. Many of you are looking for what you call happiness. When I ask my clients or people in general to define what would make them happy they give me a list of things. Not just material items but many other 'things' like love, family, peace etc..In all cases there is something to attain."
