Tips & Suggestions

Here are some tips and suggestions to help prepare you for your journey. You are free to take what applies and ignore the rest. This is important since I don't personally know you, your experiences, beliefs, and your ultimate path.

• Resist the temptation to fix everything at once. Experience demonstrates that usually nothing gets done.
• Come from a place of loving yourself and wanting to improve aspects of your life rather from negativity. Resist statements such as, "I hate myself because I am (fill in the blank) and changing that will solve all my problems". Usually other issues surface that also need your attention and this cycle starts again.
• Realize that personal healing & growth occur at several different levels. These levels are physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Allow yourself the flexibility to address healing and personal growth issues at all the levels.
• Your body is the temple for your spirit. Look for ways to help nurture your physical body (nutrition, food choices, exercise, etc.).
• Practice appreciation for all you DO HAVE rather than dwelling on what you don't have. Express this to the higher power of your choice.
• Whatever you decide to change, start slowly. Too much (too fast) of a "good thing" may cause havoc on your system. Are you interested in a quick fix that may not last or a more permanent solution? The person that builds up endurance and moves at a comfortable pace will usually reach their goals (hare & the tortoise).
• Beware of the "Guru" trap. Following someone blindly takes away your personal power. We all have our teachers, but we still need to be able to sense, feel, and think independently for the best learning.
• If you have questions, look inside yourself first for the answers. You have a wealth of resources available to you. Looking outside ourselves needs to be a last resort.
• Avoid comparing yourself to others. No two people can have exactly the same genetics, experiences, etc. This makes comparisons meaningless and they may be destructive to your being.
