Reignite Your Spark: 3 Step Process

By Dr. Roxanne Daleo

1) MIND: Find a harmonic engagement with your environment.
When we look at our surroundings and we see beauty and order, something happens in our brains, it calms and brain wave patterns change to a slower frequency. Research in the field of neuro-aesthetics reveal powerful effects of beauty on our brains and nervous system. It gives reason to pick wild flowers, feathers, seashells or a circle of smooth stones and place them in your home where you can view them as a reminder of beauty\ and oder. Display a floral arrangement on your dining table or in your bedroom where you can feel the effects immediately.

2) BODY: Find a practice for inner balance that works for you.
Whether you are outdoors in nature or in your home, a daily relaxation practice is essential for all of us. Remember “nap time” as a child? Believe it or not, our bodies need rest everyday. And resting before we get exhausted is the best method for reigniting our spark. The conscious breathing technique has been associated with vitality and longevity. Did you know the longer and slower you can stretch out your breath, the longer your life? Yes! Scientific research on meditative practices proves, the results of elongating the breath is associated with longevity.

3) SPIRIT: Find a creative expression that brings you joy.
Keep a box of crayons, colored pencils or watercolor paints accessible so that you can craft calm at a moment’s notice. Simply doodling, coloring or writing affirmations can change your mood and inspire your creative impulse. Each day is filled with productive energy and your spirit is filled with the same potential. Use it and start to love yourself more and more.
