In the whirlwind of the first chapter of the new year, we can easily feel fragmented—our thoughts can scatter, our plans don't seem to land as intended, and our actions seem disconnected from our true desires. But what if there was an easy way to bring thoughts, words, and actions back to harmony? 
​
In essence—when our inner and outer worlds 'sync-up' with our authentic desires, we experience a state of coherence. This state fosters clarity, inner peace, authenticity, and awareness, enriching every aspect of life. 

Be authentic
People are drawn to individuals that exhibit balance in thoughts, words, and actions. They have achieved balance in their internal landscape, along with their external expression that is seen in the world. In other words, they are authentic. True to their personality, values, and spirit, regardless of pressures to act otherwise. They are consistent in thoughts, words, and actions, and assume responsibility for their mistakes. 

Authenticity is a hallmark of personal growth and maturity, indicating that we are living with intention by honoring our core principles. Being authentic sets a positive example, and inspires others to pursue greater self-awareness and authenticity in their own lives. In this state of alignment, we can navigate obstacles with greater ease. And as our inner harmony expands, we experience deep and enriching relationships and interactions

Live in a state of flow
When our thoughts, words, and actions are aligned, we experience an undeniable ease and flow. Life becomes fulfilling and meaningful.  As we honor our core values, we live life with intention, our actions become purposeful, and life flows with greater ease.

As life rapidly changes around us, have you ever wondered how WiFi affects our health? As we adapt, we can take steps to preserve our health and vitality. Summer is an ideal opportunity to rebalance with self-care and time in nature.

Boost your health with four simple practices.

1) Earthing 

Back in 1998, Clint Ober found success when he developed effective grounding systems for the cable television industry. He soon pioneered the Earthing movement, after learning the potential of grounding to improve human health. Learn more about Clint Ober at https://www.earthing.com/.

"Earthing (also known as grounding) refers to the discovery that bodily contact with the Earth's natural electric charge stabilizes the physiology at the deepest levels, reduces inflammation, pain, and stress, improves blood flow, energy, and sleep, and generates greater well-being." ScienceDirect.com

If asked, "Are you taking care of your health?" You may pause to think for a minute. Most people associate exercise, a balanced diet, hydration, and mental health with overall general health. And they would be correct in the most general sense. However, a component of human health must be considered—our exposure to technology.

In 1984 the term technostress was introduced.
Four decades later, many of us can relate to both the positive and negative influence of technology, including wifi, computers, cell phones, and social media. These technological advances add efficiency and convenience to life. Yet, at the same time, they also add stress. Everyone who sends a message expects a response. We feel the need to keep a presence online and in social circles. And in the workplace, our reputation depends on a speedy, accurate, and thoughtful response. 

With constant wifi connectivity, technostress threatens our health and lifestyle with complexity and information overload. There is a sub-current of uncertainty and angst as we face our ever-changing world of technology. In many ways, through the use of technology, we have become less connected to friends and business associates.

A few months ago, I happened on the book The Stress Prescription by Elissa Epel, PhD, the co-author of The Telomere Effect, a New York Times best-seller that discovers how stress influences our clock-on-aging. With a generous 4.7 Amazon review, I found The Stress Prescription to be a worthwhile read. 

Here's a brief overview:
The Stress Prescription: Seven Days to More Joy and Ease, by Elissa Epel, PhD
Professor, Psychiatry, UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences, School of Medicine
Reading this book, I found it remarkably user-friendly, and learned new insights on stress. Open the book to almost any page and indulge in bits of wisdom. The point made most helpful, was learning that traumatic life experiences create a new stress threshold or baseline; this threshold dictates how well or how poorly we cope with stress. ​

With a new year just around the corner, it's the perfect opportunity for a fresh start. There are many beneficial practices that can be incorporated into your routine, to improve your overall health and wellness. We've included a wish list of suggested practices to begin your journey for optimal health, higher awareness, and a more joy-filled life.

Evaluate, Rethink, Evolve in 2024
Shift your focus away from the holiday 'busyness' toward simplicity, peace, awareness, and wellness. The magic of the new year is about to begin, and this is the opportune time to plan a monumental shift in your health and well-being. ​

Do you feel in sync with the perfect life path or journey? If the answer is yes, you will feel it at your core. And if you are unsure, take steps to bring stillness and balance back into your life. It will offer clarity and direction.

Sometimes we need to stop thinking about what we want—to find exactly what we need.

If you easily fall asleep without effort, your sleep is deep, and you wake up feeling rested and ready to embrace your day, consider yourself lucky.

The quality of our sleep is a direct reflection of our health and wellness.
​
When life gets complex, we tend to ignore self-care, and our sleep quality suffers. Stress causes inflammation, body aches, and physical or emotional pain. Other top stressors include finances, work deadlines, and complicated relationships. Any one of these factors can diminish sleep quality.

The purpose of sleep is to soothe and rejuvenate the body, mind, and spirit. During sleep, both the brain and body eliminate toxins. Quality sleep offers energy for daily performance, and while it enhances our mindset, quality sleep can also elevate our mood.

In the past months, we've posted a progression of three related articles:

Fall is a majestic season and a perfect time for self-reflection. Much like the trees that shed their autumn leaves, we can release the patterns that hold us back by embracing a fresh beginning. 

Recently, we covered the Law of Attraction, followed by the Law of Vibration. This month, we shine the spotlight on three deserving topics.

In our quest to understand ourselves and the world around us, we often come across the terms awareness, intuition, and higher knowing. While these concepts may seem similar, there are fundamental differences. Here's a brief comparison.
