Be gentle with yourself & others so help can be received if & when needed to be able to happily hop along... 🐸 Scroll below for a little story.

The other day this little frog hopped onto my pant leg & listened while I gently talked to it, observing aloud what I noticed about it (it's colors, the racing stripes along its sides, the way it breathed), all while using a caring, present tone (this also works with squirrels, lizards, birds, & people, of course).

Others with whom I was with tried to get it to hop onto them, but it turned away, not quite convinced it was a good idea. It had a tiny piece of mulch on its face and with reassurance, I asked it permission to allow me to help remove this & it let me. Would the mulch have gone away on its own? Yes, the next time it hopped in the little lake there, but that's not the point here.

The energy we bring when dealing with others big or small lets others know we care and that it's safe to trust us with helping them when needed.

The more we have done our work to be truly at peace, the more those around us sense this safety and allow us to help them to be at peace too.

If you or someone you know could use a little or a lot of help, feel free to reach out or share with someone to let them know you care. Text @ 352-284-5591 to schedule a complimentary 15 minute consult or reach out via email at nicolenstern@gmail.com & please include a quick text to let me know you reached out. Ribbit!! 🐸

From the mountains, I write you this reflection: Know that regardless of your situation, when there is something causing internal distress due to a persistent problem, something needs to change. The sooner you choose to get help when you're not sure how to solve it yourself, the better.

Life is to be enjoyed with people that bring you peace and joy. If that's not happening, something needs to change.

Feel free to share this with Florida friends & family.

I help people ages 1.5 & up in English & Spanish to achieve their ultimate outcomes & find relief from PTSD, anxiety, & depression via telehealth or in person.

🟩 I recommend this video & more from the same creator for it's clarity on what to be looking for in a partership when in one or considering one. This could save you from unnecessary confusion & open you up to other, more balanced possibilities filled with mutual respect, growth, empathy, & love. You're worth the time & effort to hear & value.

Cultivate yourself into the ultimate you. Nourish yourself with kindness and surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you, love, & appreciate you to become the best version of yourself. If there are weeds in your life, taking your light and nutrients, try to respectfully distance or set boundaries, and if needed move your garden to one where there is peace. What flower are you most represented by & in what ways? 🪷🏵🌹🥀⚘️🪻🌷🌼🌻🌺

✨️Here's to your joy!! By doing more of what makes you happy and being with people who are good for your soul, you win. Be selective.

Lead with your breath when you work (mentally, physically, or emotionally), in through the nose, nice, & slow, & deep... out through the mouth & repeat. Using this as your engine or motor helps you have enough calm to make the best choice of what to say or do resulting in the best outcome under the circumstance. By leading with your breath your body and mind are able to perceive more & choose the ultimate outcome.

When you are particular about your time and energy, you open doors and invite in more of what you want or choose to close doors to that which does not align with your mission or way. Every choice has a consequence, so be selective.

Create the life you want. Each day is a chance to choose solutions. If you need some help in reaching your life goals & are ready for real results, schedule your consult today! Spots open up and then fill up quick.

I work with all ages and their families, as needed.

With the major shifts and changes of the world, most of us are feeling overwhelmed. Through compassion, caring, and looking toward creating the reality you want to be living in, each of us can live our best life. What is one little thing you can do today that will help you go in that direction of your ultimate outcome?

Believe in yourself. I believe in you.

Lead with your breath... in through the nose... out through the mouth. Inhale nice and slow and deep into the tension, anger, fear, pain... mouth closed... exhale it away... sending it away through the breath... out the mouth and repeat. This will help you remain calm enough to make the best choice with your words or actions. Try it now... it's a great first little thing you can do that will help.

If you or anyone you know is ready for positive, notable life changes, I am here to help. Spots have opened up during school hours...

So often I have thoughts about content to create for folks with tips and ideas on things that can really make a difference in the lives of the people I work with and beyond... the thing I lack at the moment, like many of you, is extra time.

For now, I'll share the work of this (Australian?) therapist who shares some solid ideas and concepts on creating harmony within families and how to become more "differentiated," or emotionally mature. Until then... please check out his videos when looking for simple, fun ways of improving relationships.

I should soon have room in my schdule for those looking for help with their children, teens, & families looking for ulltimate outcomes.
