Greatest Secret in the world

okay so I have been reading this fantastic book, and loving it!!  I am following the recommended reading program so I am only on the II Scroll, and will be for the next 4 weeks.  It is a great book for anyone looking for the secret to success.  I have loved it so far, and have a feeling that I will love the entire thing!  Just wanted to share.

Who are you?

After a really fun weekend with some friends I didn't know as well as I thought, I had some deep stuff to ponder upon my arrival home.  One of the friends mentioned that she learned a lot about me and that I am a totally different person when I really let loose.  This got me thinking about the all consuming question "Who am I?"  In our early 20's we are so set on finding who we truly are, and I honestly think most of us think we have that figured out.  I know at the ripe old age of 21, 22 I really thought I knew.  But as I have gotten older it has changed which has me wondering do we really truly know who we are, and are we adapting to our changing life, and are we loosing our true self in our husbands, children, family, job, and community obligations?  How is it in life we can keep track and keep balance of our true nature?  I think that good family and  friends that helps us to remember who we are is key.  Those people in your life that don't let you loose yourself in a title or an obligation are the ones you want by your side.  I also think that keeping a journal of your life experiences and deepest feelings helps as well.  Somehow getting it all down on paper or out in the open is such a freeing experience.  I hope that I can always keep in check who I really am and remember to keep on searching, because the more we search the more we learn that there is much about our true nature that we did not know before.

More on Stress

Fight stress with exercise!!

 

Stress seems to be a central part of all of our lives, there is no way to escape it. Or so it seems.  

 

We are so lucky to live in a time when we have so many luxuries.  But these luxuries have created a sedentary lifestyle for many of us.  Our body systems need to interact efficiently with each other to do their jobs.  Sitting behind a desk all day, or living a sedentary lifestyle without exercise our body does not seem to communicate as efficiently as it should.  Well exercise can help that, it will help your body systems practice interacting with each other in a healthy way, and thus reduce some stress.  

 

Do you suffer from depression?  I believe that stress is related to depression.  A lot of people suffer from this, and one way that you can help is to get up an move.  There has been much research dedicated to the connection between endorphins and exercise.  As you exercise your body releases these chemicals/hormones into the body and gives you a happy feeling.  Thus helping with that stressed out feeling.  

 

When we are under stress our body was designed to fight or flight, well in today's world we don't do either.  When faced with a stressful situation we end up producing that adrenaline that our body needs to fight or flight and then we continue to sit behind our desk.  The rush of hormones/chemicals can be harmful to the body if it just remains.  So when faced with a stressful situation we should do some type of exercise to help release these chemicals.  

 

Exercise can also help you to clear your mind.  This is a very great reason to begin an exercise program.  A clear mind will always help to reduce stress.  

 

Exercise will typically lead to better sleep at night, and will help you to develop a better sleep cycle, giving you more energy during your day to be more productive.  It will also help to lessen your stress and anxiety during the day as you will be full charged.

Some exercises to try for help in beating stress:

• Interval exercises will be the most effective when dealing with stress.  Try a short jog followed by some sit-ups, then another short jog followed by some push-ups and a final jog followed by some lunges.
•  If you feel out of control try rythmic exercises - as these types of exercises tend to help you clear yourmind. Some of those might be running/swiming/cycling/elliptical training.
•  If you are wanting to focus and center yourself, try pilates, yoga, or stretching exercises.
• Angry or aggressive personalities should try beating out that aggression by some boxing, kick boxing, martial arts, a great self defense class or other combat type exercises.

Now that you understand the fantastic ways that exercise will help to fight stress try it out.  See if a little exercise makes a difference for you, there is nothing to lose.  Except maybe a few pounds, but who wouldn't want that anyway!!  As with any exercise, consult your physician before beginning, and remember to listen to your body.

Foot Zoning

I get the question a lot "how does foot zone therapy work?"  well it works with the body's meridian and nervous system.  All the nerve endings and meridian lines end in the feet.  So by massaging the feet in the manner of the zone you will open up blockages in the meridian lines and also stimulate the nerve endings.  Through this method we help stimulate the body to heal itself.  So really the zoning is not what does the healing, it is the body, the
zoning is just the tool to helpyou heal naturally without the side effects of drugs. 

Things that I notice after a zone:

• Better sleep
• more energy
• It has helped me with my own fertility
• It has helped me clear a cold/sinus infection
• It has helped me to loose weight
• It has helped me clear some emotions that were weighing me down
• It has helped me clear headaches

I know there are others who have had other results with zoning, but I thought I would share what I personally have experienced.  I hope you can all have the opportunity to get a zone and help your body heal or build up your immune system so that illness and disease don't find you, and if they do they are easier to heal from.

Stress and Essential oils.

Here are some recommendations from doTERRA's Dr. Hill -

Stress is a daily exercise for nearly all of us.  Diffusing or wearing citrus essential oils like wild orange or citrus bliss can greatly reduce your own personal stress levels.  I recommend a daily approach to stress reduction using your favorite essential oil. Mixing Balance and Wild Orange is refreshing. Adding a drop of Peppermint creates the perfect balance between stress reduction and improved mood.

 

I love mixing my wild orange and peppermint, they are a fantastic combo.  And I have actually seen myself be more productive and happy when I use the citrus bliss blend.  LOVE IT!
