Balanced Life Counseling

I love the car commercials this time of year. The classic Christmas morning image of the loving spouse looking out the window to see a brand-new top-of-the-line luxury vehicle with a giant red bow on top parked in the drive way. Wouldn't that be awesome!! (I’m still waiting for mine Santa!!) Is it possible to create a legacy and foster lasting memories without a brand-new Mercedes? I suggest that it is. Here's some ideas for celebrating your relationship this time year.

Here the relaxation meditation I mentioned in the last Live video on Mindfulness and Meaning

Deeper Awareness: Mindfulness and Meaning Living in Southern California I'm surrounded by an obsession of fitness and health. Don't get me wrong I appreciate the fact that there is positive peer pressure for me to be cognizant of rocking my mid-forties dad-bod. Nonetheless, I suggest we look beyond the physical for overall health and well-being. I think it's reasonable to pause and and be mindful this time of year. (resources I mentioned AWARE by Daniel Siegel, MD & "O Holy Night" performed by Lauren Daigle, the app is called "Stop, Breathe, Think")

So good to hear Dr. Earl Henslin at OC MAAT this morning. I met and interviewed Dr. Henslin in 1999 for my Masters thesis. It was an honor to reconnect with him.

I love this app.... it’s a simple an easy way to start meditating. Enjoy.

Black Friday BOGO sale on therapy sessions!!! Why not get some therapy for your loved ones this year. It’s the gift that keeps on giving #balancedlife #gettherapy DM for details

Money Minded and Madness: It's that time of year again that time of year we all gather around YouTube and watch the videos of the crazy shoppers on Black Friday. I'm reminded of being a small child in the 80’s and curling up next to my parents as we watch the evening news of people being trampled in pursuit of a Cabbage Patch Doll.
