How Do You Support Mourners Through the Stages of Grief?

Stages of Grief

Grief just is.  There is no right and wrong to it.  It just is.

Though there are many flavors of grief.

You are touched by it when a member of your community is struck down unexpectedly.

When you experience personal loss grief can swallow you whole.

Grief can surprise you.  Sometimes your emotions are unavailable to you for a while.  You need time to heal a bit before you can open them up.

Other times your emotions spill out and you are shocked by their intensity.

Grief feels like suffering, it’s hard to see it as healthy in anyway.

You just want it to stop.

Would you choose to stop the grief if it meant that you couldn’t remember your loved one?

Even in the early stages of grief when it’s rough to even breathe, erasing your precious memories would be far too high a price to pay.

When your pain is so raw you think it will kill you, hold on to the fact that time will eventually heal you so that you can remember and smile.

Time is definitely a friend to the grieving.

When you can think of your lost loved one and laugh and enjoy the memory, you know that Time is doing its job.

The grieving process is a very individual thing, but understanding that there really are common aspects to it can help you feel less crazy or to worry less about others who grieve differently than you do.

Do you see yourself somewhere in the process? Continue reading article →

Weight Loss Tips: How Do You Lose Fat Around Your Mid Section?

 

Whether you have heard that you can’t target fat loss or not, you will be surprised at these weight loss tips.

Any kind of weight loss is great, but mid-section fat is a particularly big deal.

The fat you carry around your mid-section most closely correlates with heart disease, stroke, cardiovascular accidents, and diabetes.

If that doesn’t grab your attention it should.  The world is experiencing an epidemic of heart failure that is causing an incredible amount of suffering and loss, both human and financial.

If you lose your mid-section fat, you drastically reduce your risk for heart disease, stroke, cardiovascular accidents and diabetes.

Which means you also drastically reduce your risk for heart failure.

Do I have your attention?  This is a BIG deal!

Mid-section fat also closely correlates with high cortisol levels resulting from STRESS!  If you can reduce your stress you can lose fat around your mid-section, but that isn’t always possible.

When your health is crashing you may not have the luxury of removing all the stress from life, but you CAN take action to lose the fat anyway!

Target fat loss around your mid-section

  •  drastically reduce your risk of dire consequences
  •  AND enjoy the comfort of a loose fitting waist band!

“Tell Me More!”

 

Let’s burn belly fat!

If Heart Failure Is a Deadly Diagnosis, are There Really Solutions For An Epidemic of Heart Failure?

A Heart Failure Diagnosis is almost a death sentence.

If your doctor has given you the diagnosis, you are in big trouble.

Heart Failure is not a diagnosis that is typically even suggested until there are harsh signs of impending doom.

Within the medical community it seems like a heart failure diagnosis means admitting defeat.  That might be one reason why heart failure is SO commonly mis-diagnosed as asthma!

The point is that you NEED to make yourself AWARE of what causes contribute to Heart Failure as well as symptoms that precede it: Continue reading article →

Is Healthy Eating Enough To Keep You Healthy?

senior woman cook holding a bowl with salad against a pink backg

IF eating healthy is all you need to worry about in order to “be healthy”, then you just have to figure out what exactly “healthy eating” is.

I mean there is a lot of differing opinion out there.

Low fat, low carb, vegetarian … who are you to believe?

You won’t get any argument from me that you are what you eat.

Eating fresh vegetables and fruit everyday is definitely healthy eating.

The more you shop in the produce section the better off you are!

Chili fries probably won’t improve your your health or support your weight loss effort, but will they deteriorate your health as part of an “UN-healthy diet plan?  Are those fries killing you?  Or is it something else?

 

The question is … is good food the only thing you need to stay healthy?

1.  It is a valid argument that our soil is extremely depleted so supplementing is necessary to nourish yourself properly.

Even when you supplement your nutrition, you may have an unusually high need for a specific nutrient.  Until you meet ALL your needs, your health will suffer.

2.  If you don’t move … Sedentary Death Syndrome will do you in no matter what you eat. 

Be active!

You will die prematurely from absolutely every disease process if you are inactive.

Move it or lose it.

Healthy eating won’t save you from Sedentary Death Syndrome … period!

3.  If your environment is toxic, you are vulnerable to dis-ease.

Your environment is filled with noxious fumes that you inhale each and every breath.  If you think this doesn’t cause disease, think again.

4.  Toxic thoughts are deadly. 

Healthy eating is in vain if you poison yourself with your thoughts.

The nocebo effect can kill you the same way that the placebo effect can heal you.

Your mind is extremely powerful as your enemy AND your ally!

5.  You may be misinformed about what “healthy eating” actually IS!

If bread, cereal, and diet soda are on your healthy eating list, you are misinformed.

 

If healthy eating isn’t the answer to your suffering, what is?

Don’t get me wrong, your food choices are very important to your health and well being.

The point here is that if you are suffering, the most effective way to address your symptoms is with your breathing.

Dr. Majid Ali says:

“Limbic breathing can mean the difference between a heart attack and no heart attack”!

That is a huge claim wouldn’t you say?

Dr. Ali is a pathologist.  Pathology is all about data.

He can make huge claims because he has the data to back them up.

What does Dr. Ali say your secret weapon for better health is?

Healthy Breathing IS enough to keep you healthy!

Learn how your breathing is making you sick and what you can do about it.
