A Good Stress Reducer Game Can Cause So Much Healing, Do You Remember How To Play?

stress reducer game

Holidays are a great excuse to spend quality time with the people you love!

Yesterday’s Independence Day celebration was no exception.

Everywhere I went I saw families laughing, eating and playing together.  There is nothing like a good stress reducer game to take your mind off your worries.

Does your inner child remember how to play?

My family started the day in Volcano Village at the parade and festivities as usual.  The parade was soggy, but we are a never say die community, so there has never been a Fourth of July parade that was canceled because of rain!

There was a very small crowd in attendance.

The folks who usually head up the hill to catch the traditional Volcano parade must have stayed down the mountain where it was warm and far less rainy.

We highlanders are a hearty bunch!  The rain just made the party far more intimate.

There were familiar friendly faces everywhere enjoying the local entertainment and food, and browsing the beautiful craft booths.  My what a talented little village Volcano is!

My daughters sang with their friends from the Summer Musical cast of Peter Pan.  That was really fun!  Most of the community will be there Friday for opening night as well!

Community theater gets much love and support from the Volcano community!  They seem to grow talent up there!

The talented cast members were followed up by super talented kids who wowed the crowd, a very interesting middle eastern dance display, and then the UPS guy rocked the place with his band.  Heck, I didn’t know the UPS guy was even in a band!

My teenagers were longing to hook up with friends to continue the party down the hill at the fireworks celebration, but everyone had family plans.

I was happy to accommodate so we headed to Queen Liliuokalani Park, where several of their friends’ families were headed.

As a single mom, living far from any family ties, I’m used to my kids craving family.  It used to make me sad that I couldn’t fill that void for them.  Over the years, I have seen them embrace the community as their extended family.  I feel such a healing from watching them create such a firm bond with so many people.

What a diverse group of people our family has become!

We got to the park shortly before the fireworks started.  My basket was heavy and I was worn out from the day, so I headed to the water and parked myself on a grassy patch under charming palm trees.

It was dark and smoky but my teenagers found friends easily before the fireworks got under way.  The technology age sure has created resourceful kids.  I had to laugh as I eaves dropped on their conversations to pin point each other.

They were a bit miffed that I wasn’t up for traipsing around the park to find their friends.  I knew where they were headed and I wasn’t worried about their safety, so I was happy to kick back and relax for a while.

My five year old would much rather have been with his sisters, but he snuggled down on our blanket and watched the fireworks all around us.

“Why are the fireworks not up in the sky, mom?”  He kept asking.  Though each time he said it, I assured him the big fireworks in the sky would start soon.

Once the fireworks display began he wasn’t disappointed!

I have never seen a fireworks show quite like that one.  I loved it, and I usually associate fireworks to pollution and waste!  Shoot, anything that scared my beloved dog was an evil thing in my book when I was 20 something.

Last night I opened up to the experience because my kids were excited about it.

Since the Queen’s Park is so close to Coconut Island, where the fireworks were being launched, the show was directly over head and the noise could be felt as well as heard.

My little guy was blown away by the awesome display!

Nick couldn’t even sit down by the end of it.  It was just too exciting!  The whole park exploded in loud cheering from the crowd following the grand finale.  It was so much fun.

The quiet following the fireworks show was a wonderful contrast.  I stretched out on the blanket and looked up at the sky.  The star filled night sky seemed to hold three clouds perfectly still over the palm trees above me.  It was like time stopped.

Through the smoky haze I could see families on a slow migration back to their cars, but every time I looked back up at the sky, time stopped again.  The feeling was so wonderful it gave me goose bumps.

Nick was really enjoying the whole experience.  I could hear his chatter about the colors of the fireworks, and the water lapping the shore, and the stars, and on and on …

Briana and Makayla returned and dug into the picnic basket, busy with laughter and reminiscing.

The timeless night sky kept me captivated while their happiness wrapped me in Joy and Appreciation.

You know, I wish I could say, click on the link below and download some of the joy that I felt in that moment.

If I could I would.  Since I can’t do that, I told you my story instead.  It brought me Joy to share it with you, and I hope it brought you Joy to read it.

You can’t create magic moments at will, but you CAN “Tune Your Heart to Joy in a Moment” at will!

COPD- Lung Disease |

How Soon Will COPD Stages Damage Your Quality of Life?

How Soon Will COPD Stages Cause Harm

If you know what COPD stands for, you probably heard it from your doctor, or someone you know who has COPD.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or COPD, is code word for “can’t exhale”.

If you can’t get the stale air out, you can’t reload with fresh air.

Lung disease is progressive.  It sneaks up on ya.

COPD stages happen a little at a time.
Pam called me when she came home from her doctors office with a “mild copd” diagnosis.

“How can I have copd?” she asked.

“I don’t smoke.”

“They said it might be all the years I lived with a wood stove as my heat source.”

I told Pam that I could hear her upset, and just wanted to encourage her to make the most of her lung health.

“After all, mild copd means that you have time to optimize your lung function and minimize damage.”

“How in the world do I do that?” she asked. Continue reading article →

What Can Emotional Exercise Benefits Do For You?

What Can Emotional Exercise Benefits Do For You?

When you feel down, do you think,

“I should get up and take a walk?”

Probably not … but you should!

Get moving and your mood will improve!

Do you believe that you can choose to be happier?

Emotional Exercise Benefits Can Help

  • more energy
  • regular dose of endorphines

(pleasure chemicals generated by your body during exercise)

  • regular doses of serotonin and tryptophan

(mood regulating chemicals that are produced during exercise)

  • fights depression with increased endorphines, serotonin, and tryptophan
  • improves self esteem
  • stress management
  • improves sleep resulting in better mood and improved ability to cope with stress

(just don’t exercise right before bed)

  • reduces PMS symptoms
  • improves mental agility
  • enhances creativity and imagination
  • reduces anxiety and stress

Can you see how regular exercise enables you to choose a better mood?

Considering the physical benefits of exercise will make you smile too!

Do you know what the physical benefits of exercise are?

  • increased metabolism makes weight loss easier
  • reduces total body fat
  • lowers total cholesterol, especially bad cholesterol
  • increases good cholesterol, giving you more energy
  • improves immune system
  • improves insulin sensitivity
  • lowers risk of bone and joint disease

Sugar highs cause sugar lows!  When you choose chemicalized foods and stimulants you affect your mood far more than you think!  Fresh food feels really good.

 

Pretty good news, wouldn’t you say?

Maybe exercise isn’t a dirty word after all!

Can you think of any other way to gain all those benefits?

The time you spend exercising is time well spent!

 

Once you get moving avoid sabotaging your emotional exercise benefits!

Many choices you make everyday cause a shift in the wrong direction.  Be good to you!

Life with more endorphines, serotonin and tryptophan is a bright and shiny place.  You don’t want to rain on your own parade!

Do You Know Which Heart Disease Symptom Could Kill You?

Do You Know Which Heart Disease Symptom Could Kill You?

Heart disease is the number one killer in the US.

When you worry about heart disease you are probably thinking of a heart attack.

Getting help before it’s too late is key to your survival.

However, there is another symptom of heart disease that can sneak up on you, deteriorating your quality of life without you being aware that anything is wrong.

This very same heart disease symptom can also kill you instantly!

Do You Want To Know Which Heart Disease Symptom … OTHER than a heart attack …

Is Surrendering To the Now of Mindfulness Meditation Really Possible?

Is Surrendering To the Now of Mindfulness Meditation Really Possible?

Mindfulness Meditation is a type of meditation that essentially involves focusing your mind on the present in a way that allows you to witness your thoughts and actions without judging yourself.

Is there a secret to allowing what is?

If there is a secret to Mindfulness Meditation, it is creating a still space that will serve as your doorway to Now.

Can you be still?

Does the constant conversation in your head ever stop?

A friend of mine had a particularly hard time with never stopping thought.  I’ll call her Pamela.

Pamela was a very together lady.

She ran a day care out of her home, and you never saw a place so clean, tidy and on schedule!

The woman appeared to have calm and serene down to a science.  When she picked up a bell and rang it, the toddlers buzzing about her feet jumped up and began singing “clean up clean up everybody everywhere, clean up clean up, everybody do your share”.

They all did their share and the room was clean in a flash.  It was an amazing sight to see.  I thought that only happened on television.

A super hero disguised as a little old lady!

I felt like I should ask for her autograph.  The woman had everything under control!

She became a good friend to me, and “Auntie Pam” to my young daughters.

When the two of us decided to take a meditation class together, I saw a side of Auntie Pam that shocked me. Continue reading article →

Are You Too Proud To Heal From Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome?

Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome

When you think of “shell shock” what comes to mind?

During World War One Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome was a huge problem. Doctors believed that the tell tale “thousand yard stare” was a sign that the close proximity of exploding shells had caused trauma to the brain.

If you take that reasoning into consideration, it is troublesome to discover that it was common practice for Doctors to prescribe rest away from the front for Officers, while enlisted men were often accused of being cowards and sent right back out to the battlefield.

Some were shot for cowardice, or punished in a variety of creative ways.  Though enlisted men would be more likely to have been in close proximity of exploding shells than Officers, wouldn’t they?

If you are likely to be shot on the spot or court martialed you aren’t very likely to seek help when you need it most.

It seems that the history of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome is one of shame and persecution.

With soldier suicides being such a huge issue in today’s world, you hear a lot about what they are doing to identify those who need help in an effort to control the climbing death toll.

The struggle today is to get soldiers to admit that they need help before it’s too late.  They aren’t facing a firing squad, but they feel like they are letting their unit down.  They aren’t keeping up their end.

Admitting that you need help with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome feels like admitting a weakness.

When you think of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome you might think of soldiers at war.  However, emergency response workers are on the front lines of daily life.

Identifying those who need help among emergency response workers can be very difficult as well.  Admitting you need help might endanger your job and your livelihood.

Family caregivers are at risk as well.  Continue reading article →
