    The Mind-Body Connection

    There is scientific proof that that the mind and the body need to work together in order function at our best and that’s what I want to share with you today, The Mind-Body Connection. Your mind is constantly taking in information all day long and processing it, but what about your body? Your body doesn’t have thoughts, and it can’t process outside information.

Tune in to learn what exactly is the Mind-Body Connection and why it’s important, and two ways we miss use and interrupt this connection…

    The 50/50 Rule

    Feelings are part of the human experience. We are supposed to have a contrast of both positive and negative feelings. This is what makes all emotions possible. If we experienced only positive emotion, we wouldn’t know it was positive because we had nothing to compare it with.

But the truth is, it…

Usually after we eat, we end up feeling worse – guilty, ashamed, and out of control around food. God created us to “feel all the feels”. We need to experience the bad so we can know the good. When we take a moment to stop…
