How to Invest in your Emotional Healing
Emotional Healing? What does Emotional healing mean to you? To me, emotional healing means overcoming or accepting a hurtful event to a point where my thoughts do not haunt me anymore. Now, emotional problems may come from a number of factors such as recent loss (of a job, opportunity, loved one), fear, feelings of unworthiness, stress, abuse, changes, health conditions and many other events. In order to heal emotionally I believe that we must invest in that healing. This means that we must do things for the healing to take place.

Many have thought of coloring only as an activity for children however research has shown that this activity can provide tremendous benefits for adults. Adults who suffer from anxiety or depression have much to gain from investing in a coloring book. Here is a story: I was out shopping for puzzles with hubby and I said I want to get a coloring book.

Powerful Mantra for a Successful Year
A powerful mantra is a word or phrase that is said or thought about in an effort to intentionally sow the seed you want to be planted. In other words, you are speaking something into existence. This mantra doesn’t need to be meditated on or connected to any specific practice or religion, it’s just a way of setting your mind on what you want for yourself. Similar to positive affirmations.

Gratitude will Change Your Life.
We all know gratitude to be an emotion in which we express appreciation for the things we have. When you are showing or expressing gratitude you ignore the ‘i wish I had’ thoughts and thank god for what you do have. But, how many of us practice gratitude on a daily basis? The sad truth is, not many people give thanks for what they have without thinking of what they do not have. This practice has also been enhanced with the social media era which often causes people to be in constant comparison. (I wish I had a house like that. I wish I looked like him/her). I wish, I…
