Does "Change" Bring Up Resistance for You?

There are ways to make ourselves more receptive to our best lives.  Some techniques are physical and other techniques are mental.  When you are ready for change, choose the ways that you find easiest to begin your journey.

Hydration is key.  If you are not sure whether or not you are hydrated enough, you probably are not.   I use Ultima Replenisher to add an electrolyte boost to my water.  Can you switch that last cup of coffee to an herbal tea?  I use Tulsi jamsine tea instead of an afternoon cup of coffee.

Walking barefoot in the grass is a great way to connect with nature.  Getting some TLC from your pets (or your neighbors' pets) allows the feelings of unconditional love to be shared.  Have you tried a relaxing form of exercise if you are not an athlete?  Maybe a nice walk or a bike ride?  How about turning up the music and dancing a little?

Mentally, we can all benefit from just breathing in a relaxing way to reduce stress.  Dr. Andrew Weil has breathing exercises on his website.  Staring at the flame of a candle will calm you down.  I also relax into watching my ceiling fan rotating while laying on my bed.

The most important part is setting the intention to change, setting time aside to do it.  You will benefit from five or 10 minutes of releasing negative emotions.  Intention plus action will bring you positive results.  No one is perfect, expecting perfection is setting ourselves up to fail.  I used to be a "junk food junkie" while also buying the biggest diet soda possible every day.  Now, I eat healthy most of the time and that is good enough!

Obviously bigger changes create bigger results, but we all have point ourselves in the right direction and start with the mindset of change.  Mind-body works so much better than mind or body separately.  Please don't be your own worst enemy.  Please know that you can make changes.  You deserve a better life!

Have a great day!
