Getting to Okay
About a year ago I made the decision to go to therapy, it wasn’t my first time, but this time was different. I made sure it would be. The first time around, I had no idea what I was dealing with. I knew I had huge moments of panic where I couldn’t breathe or think. I knew I couldn’t get out of bed. I knew I wasn’t happy. The first time around was all about learning to manage. I talked about my life and the causes of my pain. I learned to forgive. I felt cured. I decided

How to Deal with Haters
I really don’t like the “haters” trend. While I understand that we shouldn’t allow people’s opinions and negativity get to us. I don’t want to have haters… I want to attract people that I can show love to. I know that’s it’s impossible to have everyone love you but we’re supposed to love each other, we’re supposed to love everybody. That includes people you like and people you don’t, and even people that don’t like you! Jesus says to love your enemies, so I have to love th

"The Truth about Health: Separating Fact from Fiction"
I have read a ton of books. I took four health classes plus food science before college, I then took biology courses. I also took nutrition courses online. I worked at Slimgenics where I was trained to help people through weight loss and was taught about supplements and nutrition, we reviewed the popular programs and the science behind them. We learned what worked and what didn’t and we were constantly testing each other to make sure we knew our stuff. I worked with nutrition

Why is Patience a Virtue
I’ve never had long hair. I’ve always wanted it but I’ve never had the patience! Simply, put I am incredibly impatient. I get bored easily and I like “new”. I’m the dog in Up. I have a tiny attention span. So I am frustrated and annoyed with my hair but I know that this is a lesson. I know that something I need to work on is patience. I know that I need to get through my anxiety and work through the frustrations. My hair is not the most important thing in the world. But th

God Laughs At Our Plans.
My chosen profession at 5 years old was Artist. I mastered the human body when my kindergarten teacher asked me to draw a person using only shapes. I was taught that most artists become famous only after death so I quickly thought of another profession where I could use my creativity and still make a living. I picked fashion designer! My mom helped me sew clothes for my brats dolls and I had a full portfolio by 5th grade. My librarian instilled a hope in me so strong I knew

Are You Bearing the Fruits of the Spirit in Your Life?
A couple of weeks ago I invited my brother and sister-in-law to come to my church. It was their first time in a christian church and my church is not like any other. I was happy that they made the decision to come with me and more importantly, I was happy that the message spoke to them. We learned about the type of fruit we are producing, good fruit (love, kindness, patience, etc.) or bad fruit (jealousy, hatred, rudeness etc). “What you say flows from what is in your heart.

How to create happiness
Are you a victim of manufacturing your own unhappiness? Sometimes we are so focused on how unhappy we are and how much is just not going the way we want that we just keep making ourselves more unhappy and in return… things keep going wrong! If you start your day thinking it will be a bad day…it most likely will. Even if it’s not, you’ll find a way to feel like it was. It’s a crushing cycle. It feels endless…. It doesn’t have to be. It can end. You do not have to live like t

How to Have Constant Energy
Often, I need to be reminded, that I can do this. Whatever it is, I forget to plug in to the source of energy that keeps me going. ” God is the source of all energy ” – Peale. “The body is designed to produce all needed energy over an amazingly long period of time. If the individual takes reasonable care of his body from the standpoint of proper diet, exercise, sleep, no physical abuse, the body will produce and maintain astonishing energy and sustain itself in good health.

How to be healthy
I took Health class all three years in middle school. For some reason it was my favorite class. It might have been that we had the nicest teacher or that I was looking to learn more. I remember a poster that was on the wall next to the door of the class. It said that well-being was comprised of four pieces. The pieces were physical well-being, mental-well-being, emotional well-being, and environmental well-being. An overall healthy and happy person had to have an overall hap

Are you in Pain?
“So if you are suffering in a manner that please God, Keep on doing what is right, and trust your lives to the God who created you, for he will never fail you.” 1 Peter 4:19 I came across a new concept this last month and I was reminded of it today by this verse. While reading The Tools by Phil Stutz and Barry Michaels, I learned about the tool called the Reversal of Desire. This is a tool that is used when a person is experiencing pain. This can mean any type of pain but

How to overcome Fear
There is so much to fear in this world. In 22 years of existence I have seen a lot of pain and tragedy. I know I am not alone in this. The world is a scary place. Fear is normal. But fear is also useless. I was a fearless child. At least that is how I felt. I climbed to the top of the jungle gym and walked on top of the monkey bars unafraid of the doom below. I loved feeling like I could do anything. Teachers told us that we could do anything, be anything. I believed it, wh

How to get out of your head
As a kid my father used to say I live”en las nubes” (in the clouds). Spacing out is common for me. I was that kid that could sit for hours quietly and I was also the kid that wouldn’t shut up. In both cases I was under the influence of my mind. I created worlds unknown to those around me and I lived happily in those worlds until somebody shook me out and I realized how much time had passed and how many people had been trying to speak to me. This happened many times in school
