Synchronicity in your work and life

 Carl G. Jung defines synchronicity as the conceptual relationship of minds, intricately structured in their own logical way which gives rise to that which is not causal in nature. 

I truly believe that life is an expression of a deeper order, and that a person is embedded in this. 

I believe you can dramatically change your life by being more creative in the things you strive for, thinking outside of the box and making firm decisions about what you want out of life.

I help myself, and others realize their greater wholeness and how this can bring them to their happiest and perfect space internally, but also as a reflection on the outside in their lives and business.

Learning to talk to yourself: Your internal dialogs

It's not easy, but possible to speak internally to another person as if you have direct access to each other's thoughts. You can be fueled by the language that speaks to you inside your mind. This dialog can be a way for you to make things right simply within your mind with certain people.

Listen to the story you have to tell. You can read it, listen to it, and live in it as you would your favorite book.

A stress free life

Do you wake in the morning and tell yourself that today will be the day that you will really take your health to another level? One idea to ponder is why you would wait. Any moment can be a time to set your intention. You might wait because you are too stressed at the idea of changing. 

A healthy life makes you feel great but activities that drive our personalities can interfere with health, some of which feed addictive behaviors, stress, overindulgence or even laziness. Although we all mean well and fully intend to do what our heart tells us to do, is following every inclination at every moment actually following your heart and acting with your best health in mind?

There are many different facets included in health.
