Do you find yourself helping God with his job as Judge?
I met JoAnn about 10 years ago, after I answered an ad she had placed in the paper. We hit it off right away and have been close friends ever since.
She is almost 40 years my senior, but we seem to speak the same language. We both value spiritual growth and often talk about tolerance and God’s unconditional Love.
Is Your Spouse Too Needy? Looking For Relationship Problem Advice?
Is your spouse or maybe another close relation driving you nuts with their neediness?
You love them, but you don’t love being sucked dry?
Even healthy relationships have their challenges.
The relationship problem advice you are seeking might give you as much insight into your own neediness as your spouse’s.
The source of neediness within a relationship lies with the “inner-child” needs and issues of both parties.
Both your inner child and their’s need to be considered to discover creative ways to nurture your relationship and satisfy that needy feeling.
In case you don’t know this about me, I’m a parenting instructor as well as a health coach. When I get the chance, I teach Redirecting Children’s Behavior.
Whether I teach it in a classroom or over the fence to the neighbor, I’ve seen this powerful information change lives!
Understanding why your children do what they do is empowering all by itself. Teaching them to meet their own needs empowers them and satisfies that needy feeling.
Redirecting Behavior starts with nurturing yourself and making sure your “bank” is full. Then it is important to nurture all the important relationships in your life by making deposits in the “bank” of the one you love, more often than you withdraw from it!
When dealing with adults it is easy to see how nurturing their inner child will get you a whole lot further than arguing with them.
In the case of self sabotage, the answers lie within. The answers lie with YOUR inner child.
Want to understand the inner child that’s driving you nuts?
If you are self sabotaging, or your needy spouse is mis-behaving you need to understand what might be the underlying goal of the behavior.
The first sign that this is an issue is probably going to be your irritation with yourself and/or others.
High fiber foods can help you to lose weight, prevent constipation, diabetes, and heart disease, help reduce your risk of high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, obesity, hemorrhoids, some cancers, high blood sugar, and it keeps your digestive system working properly.
Awesome foods, wouldn’t you say?
All plant foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seeds and beans, have fiber. But all fiber is not the same. Fiber can be divided into two categories and they have different effects on your body.
Soluble fiber is found in dried beans, peas, oats and oat bran, flaxseed and psyllium husks. It’s also found in fruits such as oranges and apples and vegetables like carrots.
Soluble fiber binds with fatty acids in your stomach and prolongs digestion time, helping to regulate blood sugar.
Studies also show that soluble fiber can help reduce your overall cholesterol count. But what’s even more important, soluble fiber lowers your LDL, which is considered to be bad cholesterol.
Insoluble fiber is found in whole wheat, wheat bran, vegetables such as cauliflower and green beans and the skins of fruits and root vegetables.
Insoluble fiber helps remove toxins from your colon and balance intestinal acidity. It also helps move waste through your bowel.
The recommended total daily fiber intake for adults is 30 to 40 grams. But most Americans get only about 10 grams of fiber a day.

What the heck do either of them have to do with heart failure?
Asthma is considered to be a disease that inflames and narrows the airways. When your airways are inflamed and narrow, you usually wheeze.
However, it is good to know that some people don’t really “wheeze”, they just stop moving air through their lungs.
When your health care provider listens to your lungs they may assume that your lungs are “clear” (or “good to go”), when in fact they are hearing an absence of air flow.
