TLC Life Management

Contemplating what else I need to MANAGE my life??!!

Its been my goal for some time to get back to the me I envisioned for myself in my youth. Artistic, a writer, singer, actor, funny, peaceful, and inspiring. I have given my all to most things in my life, although altered by distracted misthought judgements and actions, and I do feel I did my best. As a parent (which was and IS my #1). As a caring giving person. As a daughter and sibling. But my whole life I have felt a closeness and a longing for God. He is my #1 goal. Fort...unately keeping Him 1st allows for family, caring, giving, peace, creativity, humor, inspiration. He is the ONE who made it all. I have identified triggers that formed my lifelong struggle with depression and anxiety. Abuse and forms of abandonment that forced my coping skills to protect me, yet slowly drip like a leaky faucet a poison into my being that would be seen by some as a slow suicide. I have also reconnected with those visions I saw for myself in my youth. I have known they were there...my desires to create..to write..to connect..inspire..laugh...breathe in crisp fresh air and feel it infiltrate and nourish my being.. Therefore, I am sharing my latest creation. As a preview of what is to come. I have already received a few orders. Paintings of pets, wild animals, or scenes of how we envision to live... Well...i will have to edit to add photo.

Did you know our health involves more than our physical body? Our health is dependent on 3 intertwined parts: physical, spiritual, and mental/emotional. Tell me an example from your life.. Mine in comments. ... I will have an online class showing you how to identify sources and how to find balance..

My nightly routine includes a swipe of this across back of my shoulders and neck. Some like to put on neck where carotid arteries are.

Anything that costs you your peace of mind is too expensive! Thoughts?Anything that costs you your peace of mind is too expensive! Thoughts?

WHAT IS WITH ALL THIS INFUSION?? Can't come to you live. My throat and vocal "box" have been attacked by a virus. Right when I have been super busy and was sporadic in supporting my body systems. SMH! And all my forgetfulness. Quiz... Which body system/s should I focus on supporting right NOW? All, yes...but lets be specific for the hints I gave... Green tea, with Ningxia Red plus thieves, lemon, and citrus fresh (I just grabbed the bottles handy for photo, I use our vitality line for ingestion). Hot cereal with thieves. Both have plenty of honey!! Just like Pooh would like...

Let's talk STRESS...AWAY!! The name may seem like it says it all. But it is just tippy tippy tip. Did you know stress comes in all sizes, shapes, and flavors? I...t's true. In behavioral health, when doing initial assessment, there are questionnaires to help identify if someone needs assistance dealing with their life--handling their stressors. Let's try a sample... In the past 12 months, have you experienced any of the following? *Job changes (change of position, raise or decrease in wage, promotion, more or less responsibility, change in location, new boss, different coworkers) *Family changes (death in immediate family, birth in immediate family, pregnancy, miscarriage, new school for any member, new job for any member, moved-bought new home, relocated for school or work, evicted, better rental, cheaper rent) *Ilnesses (new diagnosis, chronic disease, chronic pain, new health routines, new exercise routine, less exercise or more, new diet, terminal illness, change in health for better, new or change in medications) *Relationships( wedding, divorce, change of custody, split custody, teenagers, toddlers, infant, friendships--new, strained, loss, betrayal, marriage issues--cheated on or the cheater, communication changes, change in jobs or moved, change in rolls ie: one works more or one has to get kids or watch them more, busy routine ie:kids activities, school, work, no activity ie: boredom, looking for trouble, etc) In scoring, you get same amount for a birth as you do a death. Processing the STRESS is much different, and emotions involved are much different. But STRESS IS STRESS! DEFINITION: force applied to something causing a reaction. A rigid or brittle branch on a tree has a much easier breaking point than a green flexible branch. The latter is bendable and can handle the force applied. In either case, the force applied has an effect. In physical, emotional/mental, or spiritual HEALTH (which are connected-even interlinked), stress is no different. Good things effect us as much as negative. Our flexibility can determine or influence the outcomes on any or all of those areas in our lives. Stress Away... Its green. It keeps me flexible. On my toes. Relaxed, you could say.... It is supportive to all 3 areas (physical, emotional/mental, and spiritual)... AND ALL OUR BODY SYSTEMS!
