Are Anxiety, Fear and Restlessness Harming Your Relationships And Your Health?

Do you “hermit” away from the world when you are run down and tired?

Well I do.  It is a hard habit to break.

If I don’t take care of myself, I disconnect from friends and family that I treasure, because I don’t have the energy to nurture those important relationships.

I disconnect from the world and attempt to nurture myself by hiding.  (I tell myself it’s resting and reorganizing.)

Some folks recharge by spending time with friends.

How do you recharge?

If you are a care giver, odds are you don’t devote ANY time to recharging.

You just trudge through your life, dragging yourself from one task to the next.

The problem is, IF not taking care of yourself is a habit, then the symptoms of feeling run down and all around lousy start to feel normal.

Everything is relative right?

When you are at the end of your rope, anxiety, fear and restlessness keep you from slowing down enough to refuel.

Ignoring self care results in symptoms of disease!

Do you FEEL:

• tired
• foggy (hard to focus)
• heavy
• irritable
• addicted to caffeine
• fearful and anxious
• moody
• restless despite your fatigue

Seriously …. take a hard look at it.

Do you feel cranky by the end of the day?

Do you have a tough time sleeping?

It’s not just a normal part of the aging process, your personality, or anything you have to live with!

You CAN Feel Better

You Owe It To Yourself to Find Out How!

Any chronic health issues start with the basics.

Feeling better is about getting back to the basics.

It’s really just that simple.

Urgent Critical Advice

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

If you have water collecting around your ankles to the point that you can’t see your ankle bone, you are also suffering from incredible exhaustion, confusion, and depression.

Water retention is a huge hazard to your health because it interferes with the absorption of vital nutrients.

When it advances to the point that your ankle bone is no longer visable, you have a serious health concern.

When fluid begins to collect in your lungs, it will rob you of life giving oxygen.

You are running out of time!

Seek information and counsel on your water retention issues and get the care you need right away!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

==========================================

Start Where You Are!

There are many simple things that you can do every day to FEEL better!

Step 1

Witness your feelings!

Journal your feelings.  Physical and emotional feelings are the sign posts to living better and feeling better.

If you are numb and in denial, you are stuck.

Ask yourself…

How am I feeling in my body, mind and soul?

Step 2

Release!

What you resist persists, allow whatever you see.

Accept your feelings.

Step 3

Notice.

Are there patterns in your life that repeat themselves in all the various aspects of work and personal relationships?

Is your focus on you or someone else?

You can only fix you.  Make sure you stay out of other people’s feelings.  You can support them, but you have no business fixing anybody but you.

What might your feelings be trying to tell you?

Don’t over analyze.

Maybe your feelings stem from being tired and depleted.

Step 4

Respond.

Choose to respond to your feelings instead of react to the external forces that you feel throughout your day.

Nutrition can really play a part here, as can rest and relaxation.

If you are stretched beyond your coping limits, you do not have access to a controlled response.

Take a breath and make some space for stillness.

You will find your inner guidance and peace.

Your response will be much better when you come from your heart.

Step 5

Evaluate

You can’t build on your progress until you acknowledge it.

Record your progress if possible, so that you can literally measure your growth.

Step 6

Love Yourself

All love starts with self love.

If you can’t love yourself, you can’t give or receive love from anyone else.

Step 7

Nurture Yourself

The “Urgent Critical Advice” above concerning water retention is nothing to take lightly.  Water retention can stem from poor nutrition and lack of sleep among many other things.

When you get still, you will know what you need.

Be open to healing whether it comes from a medical doctor, or an unfamiliar “alternative” healer.

Nutritionists can save your life, and much healing is accomplished during a single massage.

Pure water, whole foods and sunshine are a good start to meeting your needs so that you can settle down and rest.

Your relationships are only as healthy as you are!

Chronic anxiety, fear and restlessness are symptoms of disease, and are remedied by meeting your needs!

When the student is ready ….. the teacher appears.

I am a very caring teacher.

Are you ready?

Learning what to do is only half the battle.

You have to care about yourself enough to make good choices for yourself.

Take care of yourself, so you can do the good work you came here to do.

The world needs purposeful people.

Nurture yourself so that your purpose nurtures the world.

Many blessings,

Carrie

Heart Math = Enough Love To Go Around!

Water Retention: Is That Bloated and Puffy Feeling Anything To Worry About?

“Everyone gets a little bloated and puffy feeling, right?  It’s a bit annoying to get up and use the toilet all night long, but no worries…..right?”

If your doctor isn’t concerned, why should you be?

It’s just a little water retention.

There Are Reasons YOU Should Be Concerned About Excess Fluid:

1. Your body becomes completely out of balance when it holds on to fluid in an effort to protect you.
2. Any excess fluid interferes with absorption of OXYGEN and NUTRITION!
3. The sooner you achieve a healthy fluid balance, the less damage will be caused to your kidneys, heart and other vital organs.
4. Rapid accumulation of fluids can be life threatening.
5. Not using water effectively stresses your body.
6. If you use water more effectively you will use oxygen, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients more effectively.

Creating a healthy fluid balance may be as simple as reducing your exposure to toxins, making better food choices, or supplementation with the right amount of the right nutrient.

Feeling better may be within your grasp.

Water, Precious Water!

Your body needs water!  It is an important component of every one of the trillions of cells that makes up your body.

As well as carrying nutrients and oxygen to the cells, water eliminates waste products from your body.

When your body loses the ability to maintain your fluid balance, you are on a slippery slope of deterioration.

• At first you may notice it in your skin and hair
• Then you will start noticing it in your energy level
• Your mental clarity and attitude will suffer as well

The most likely cause of early water retention is foods you eat frequently.

When your daily favorites start to cause an allergy or sensitivity related histamine release, you will retain water.

Do you eat out frequently?

How Do You Easily Relieve That Bone Tired Feeling From Post Holiday Fatigue?

Before you reach for a bottle of pills or alcohol, think of simple and wholesome ways to relieve that deep down tired feeling.

The woman of the house is the most prone to suffer post holiday fatigue.  Please, if you don’t need a bit of nurturing today, then find someone near and dear to you who is, and make sure she takes care of herself.

Ten years ago, when I first began my struggle with auto immune disease, I was forever looking for pain relief that was natural and wouldn’t knock me out.

I was taking a class on the weekends with a group of women from my daughters’ school.  The subject of pain relief came up and one of the ladies suggested I try a hot bath with plenty of Epsom Salt.

It seemed a bit too simplistic to possibly help with the extreme pain that I had been coping with, but hey, I would have tried anything at that point.

You would not believe the amount of pain that you can soak away in 20 minutes!

What Foods Help Get Rid of Fluid Retention?

One of my clients asked me what they could eat to get rid of fluid retention today.

It isn’t an easy question to answer because there are many causes of fluid retention that will not be healed by eating foods that make you pee.

Some foods can make you retain fluid by slowing down your kidneys, while others can help your kidneys work better.

Some other causes of fluid retention include anemia, protein deficiency, and an abnormally high need for one or more vitamins or minerals.

Keep in mind that fluid retention is NOT  simple to treat, and if you don’t get GREAT results on your own, FIND the help you need.

Cover the simple stuff first

• drink plenty of water everyday even when you are bloated (unless you doctor advises you not to because of kidney failure)
• have your hormones checked

If increasing your water intake doesn’t help, and your hormone levels are normal, experiment with the following tips:

Fluid Retention Steals Your Health, Want To Stop It?

Fluid retention is such a big problem because the extra water in your system is in the way!  Oxygen and vital nutrients can’t get where they need to go!

When oxygen and other vital nutrients cant’ get where they need to go, you deteriorate!

If you don’t want your health to fade, watch for signs that you may be retaining water:

• When you press your fingernail firmly into your thumb-pad, does it stay deeply dented for more than a second or two?
• When you press the tip of your finger into the inside of your shinbone, does your nail make a dent?
• Do your ankles ever swell?
• Does your shoe size increase as you get older?
• Do your rings sometimes not fit?
• Is your tummy ever tight and swollen?
• For women, do you suffer from breast tenderness?
• Does your weight fluctuate by several pound within the space of only twenty-four hours?

You should be concerned if you recognize water retention symptoms, even if your doctor isn’t!

If your symptoms are mild, make sure you pay close attention to: Read more
