POSITIVITY

Smile. Say a kind word. Believe in the goodness of strangers. Think positively. Trust that better times are ahead. Do something nice for yourself. Empower others to live more boldly. Small shifts in positivity make for much more sustainable long-term happiness.

Be Present

There are few things as precious as being present in this moment. So pay close attention to the subtleties of what surrounds you, and experience the majesty of living in the present moment. Move more slowly. Witness the subtle smile. Breathe in the scent of the flowers. Hear the laughter.

Smile Before You Feel Happy

Smiling actually makes you happier-seriously.

Our brains are hardwired to understand that we smile when we encounter something positive. The brain releases endorphins and lowers our stress levels. By smiling during situations that are less exciting, we trick our brains into believing that we are experiencing something more desirable. That, in turn, makes us feel happier.

Try smiling in situations that seem monotonous, boring, or even difficult.

Love Is Friendship That Has Caught Fire

"Love is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows, one day at a time. Love is quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection...Love never steers you in the wrong direction. Love is elevating. It lifts you up. It makes you look up. It makes you better than you were before."

-Ann Landers
Chicago Tribune, April 18, 1998

How To Get Started

Doing anything of significance takes time, but you do have to start somewhere. Less talking, more doing. Take one small step and then another. If getting started means setting a simple intention, begin there. From intention comes action.

Whatever the first step is, don't wait. Get started.

"Acupuncture eases anxiety by regulating the nervous system, specifically by bringing the branches of the autonomic nervous system back into balance...Acupuncture treatment helps shift the body back into a relaxed state where the sympathetic system is more balanced and no longer dominating,"

When you're anxious, your sympathetic nervous system—the one that controls your "fight or flight" system—takes over, Flores explained, whereas your parasympathetic ("rest and digest" system) is stifled. This explains why your heart hammers in your chest, and you can feel short of breath as anxiety manifests.

Much of the evidence on acupuncture focuses on the benefits for chronic pain. But now there's some research on acupuncture for anxiety. Here's what to know.

The Truth About Love

"While infused with love you see fewer distinctions between you and others. Indeed, your ability to see others-really see them, wholeheartedly-springs open."

Embrace The Eccentricities

Embrace the quirks, the incongruities, and the inner wild that makes you, you.
Embody your truth: own it. Your weirdness is filled with wonder. Love all of who you are. In doing so, you offer yourself the one thing that no one else can give you: the beauty of true acceptance.

Back Home

You went left instead of right, your world shifted, and you lost touch with yourself. That's okay. You can always find your way back to the path of your heart by first accepting that you've gone astray. Patiently, graciously, and with all the love you gather, gently realign your actions with your heart to find your way back home.

Simple and effective.

Wanna teach yourselves how to quickly calm your nervous system?

Get into this position. Turn off any music or other distractions.

Set a timer for 5 minutes.

In that small amount of time, ligaments in the spine and pelvis will relax, tension in your neck and back will melt away, and your nervous system will calm dramatically (i.e. rectifying your Qi).

I use this when I travel for seminars.

I’ve had times when I simply can’t fall asleep. And it’s midnight. And I have to lecture for the next 2-3 days.

5 minutes like this and I sleep like a baby.

It’s also helped me with low back pain.

And headaches.

And neck and upper back stiffness and pain.

Seriously. Super simple ”exercise” that’s worth its weight in gold!

Let me know how you get on.
