Live The Life You Desire?

You can’t imagine how excited I was recently when one of my clients shared  she was living a happier and healthier life. I asked if I could share a bit of her story to encourage you.

So, here’s a glimpse……

Sally (name changed) is married to a business owner who works many hours with limited time to spend with family. Together they have 3 children. The oldest is in college. The middle child just graduated from high school and has no concrete  plans for the future and he is struggling with self destructive behaviors. The youngest child is in middle school and doing well. Along with her children, Sally also cares for her aging parents who want to live independently in their own home for as long as possible.

Scientific Findings:

Begin your day with just 3 minutes of negative news and it’s likely you will report having a negative day 6 to 7 hours later.

Happiness raises your daily productivity, triples your creativity, and increases your cognition/intellect.

30% of those practicing optimistic daily habits are more likely to live to be 94 years old.

Let’s face it… life is complicated.  The stress and energy needed to keep up with and care for family, home, and work can be overwhelming. On top of this, throw in the long term effects and  worry of the last two years or the poor choices a loved one continues to  make.

With all this, how can the focus be on Self-Care?

The reality is, if we do not take time to fill ourselves with needed care,
