How Can You Keep Positive When You Don't Feel It...

Tips for Keeping Positive for Your Health

We've been told that our being idle or depressed puts us in the vicious cycle of sickness (emotional and physical). Some day, weeks or months can be tougher than others can even be an understatement. Sometimes we are jammed and have to "wait out the storm", it may be out of our hands. Here are a few tips to keep you feeling better and moving in a positive direction. Take some time to write down things you've always wanted to do but didn't have the time. For me, it's studying, building new things (see the gong in the photo, I built the stand for that-instead of doing my tax papers), working out, and traveling. But I still have issues getting motivated. I write the things that motivate me on a mirror in the bathroom with a dry-erase marker if I am slacking on getting started. Where are you likely to see your reminders?

I'm a travel agent and I constantly study about health to improve with my profession, so I am always daydreaming of our next vacation and trying to add a class into that location. I am really unmotivated when it comes to financial paperwork, by the way, that's where the idea for this blog came from. I'm having trouble getting started today. Thanks for allowing me to write to get motivated. My reward is usually any of the above to stay focused on a daunting task or having my head spinning with issues that are out of my control for now.

A little about me,

I’m an Elite Brain Health Specialist Clinician , working as a Certified CranioSacral Therapist with Michael Morgan of Upledger Institute with Alzheimer's research and Menopause related brain health. I have 5 children, homeschooled two of them while I was a fire fighter in Baltimore City before suffering a career ending injury and meeting my husband. I was told to have a surgery or become a quadriplegic within 3 years and that was 20 years ago. I began doing major research on my own and have healed my scoliosis, herniated discs, concussions and more through the many disciplines that I bring to your sessions. My mission is to assist others through CranioSacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation and other disciplines while educating others to become their own advocates, feel into their body and lifestyle and create health and lifestyle plans that work best for them and take them from “I’m exhausted & I’ve TRIED EVERYTHING” to living their best lives!
