How to Detox Your Mind

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

A beautiful Fall season is a perfect time to find balance in our lifestyle and our body after stressful summer routine as well as to celebrate harmony and harvesting.  It is also the right time to detox our mind.

1. Try to take care of different areas of your life.

Because we, ladies, are full of emotions, stress is always in the air for us. So we have to think and maybe rethink / take care of our relationship issues, career choices, physical activities levels, spirituality.

The answer to the following questions will help you focus on what you need the most right now to eliminate some unnecessary stress:

Which area of your life (relationship, career, finances, physical activities, spirituality, education, health, social life, home environment) you think needs the most attention right now and why is that?

Which area of your life you think keep you in balance? (try these quizzes )

Where do you think you may need to spend more time and energy to create balance?

How satisfied we are in each areas of our life is very important for our overall balance. To find it, we have to start listening to our bodies and paying attention to areas we are dissatisfied the most.

2. Try Yoga class or Tai Chi class.

Yoga poses reduce stress levels, boost mood, and improve overall health. Studies show that your level of the stress hormone cortisol stay

s low even while you’re doing basic beginner yoga.

Tai chi -moving meditation – consists of slow, focused, deliberate moves that awaken your chi and allows it to flow unblocked throughout your body, improving your healthy well-being.

3. Try to meditate.

There are a lot of variations of basic meditation. One of them suggests sitting for a couple of minutes doing nothing but being aware of our breathing. Just sit still for a moment inhaling slowly through your nose, then exhaling long through your mouth.

What about you? What are your ideas of helping your mind be happier?

If you feel you might need help with one of my Holistic Health and Nutrition Programs for Women, let me know, and let us talk…

Breathe, smile and be happy.

Are you asking the right question ?

Thursday, October 16th, 2008
Conversations Silhouettes by Kirsty Pargeter

At the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, I’ve learned how important it is to ask people the right questions. And I think”What is new and good? ” is the best question ever. People always start talking about bad things that happened to them after confirming that they are doing just fine. And after you refocus them on positive thinking, they realize that their life is not that bad and stressful as they thought it was. Next time you meet your friend or call her/him on the phone, try this trick: ask what new and good is going and wait. It is always fun to watch how people react. And if your friend cannot come up with anything new and good, encourage her/him to think harder and wait again.

Sometimes it takes time for us to realize that everything in our life is better than we imagine or assume. So if we ask ourselves every morning what new and good happened the day before, we do come up with some things we never even thought of. And as a matter of fact it is a very good stress relief technique. It always helps to:

breathe, smile and be happy.

P.S.

If you are really busy and don’t have enough time to take care of your skin, try this home-made facial for busy women: cut open one or two grapes and rub the juicy part of them on your face and neck. Don’t forget to rinse it off in 10 – 15 minutes. You can do it in the morning while you have breakfast or in the evening after work.
