The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams… Eleanor Roosevelt
When was the last time you thought about your dreams. When was the last time you thought your dreams could come true.

This economy has affected so many people. Are you someone who worked “hard”. Lived and invested for the future and it is now gone or eroded to the point of you doubting your future?

Would you like to take what you have learned and use it to benefit not only yourself but others. I can help.

Here is a poem by an unknown author that conveys my wish for your New Year…

A new year is beginning to peak through
softly beautiful and different like new falling snow,
each day unique and shaped just for you.
Your life adding something as each day does grow.
My wish for your new year is beauty
and softness with surprises thrown in for delight.
Love for each day bringing happiness to you,
making your life a scene of sparkle and shining sunlight.

Here’s a special gift from 12 year Emmanuelle Lo. She is an amazing young woman who wrote this when she was 11 and just recently recorded this music video.  Merry Christmas!

Living in today’s world stress has become a given.  How you handle stress affects every aspect of your life.  Your personal relationships, job performance as well as your health.  Here are a few ideas to eliminate or at least lower your stress level.

1. Pause for a few minutes through out the day.  Clear your mind.  Spend 1 minute thinking of things you are grateful for.  At first for some this will be a challenge in and of its self but as the days pass you will have a hard time holding your self to 1 minute.

2.  Take time to call a friend. Just knowing someone is there for you can lower stress.

3.  Listen to some music. Taking a break and listening to relaxing music.  Playing calm music has a positive effect on the brain and body.

4. Eat the right food. Stress levels and proper diet are closely related.  We tend to eating sugary, fatty snack foods as “comfort”foods when we are the most stressed.   Try eating more fruits and vegetables as well as taking a high quality multivitamin with krill oil.

5. Take time to breath.  Take a deep breath in and hold it for a second or two.  Then exhale  completely. This will help center your body, and clears your mind.

6.  LAUGH  Laugh about anything… a funny experience you recently had…something you did that was totally out of character….Anything just laugh

7.  EXERCISE.  Get your body moving.  With movement you will feel relief quickly.

8.  Make sure you get enough sleep.  Take a few minutes each night to let your mind know that you are getting ready to sleep.  Turn off the TV, read a book and just as you are dozing off reflect on things you are grateful for.  Taking this time will help you awaken in a better state of mind the next day.
