Welcome to my blog

My room is a place where you will learn to build better relationships, change habits and get rid of anxiety. So much of how we manage our lives is based on habits. Habits of thought turn into habits of action and behaviour.

Chances are you came to my site because you are not happy with a thought pattern that you have developed. The thought pattern could be making you feel insecure and insecurity fuels negative patterns of thought. Thus it becomes a loop that is incredibly difficult to stop.

I can help you change the communication to develop better habits of thought. This will change all aspects of your life.

With a background in communication disorders, functional medicine, and psychology, I see myself approaching mental health as a system (mind and body). Consider me a ‘Project Manager’ for your life. That is because we are not created in parts; humans are created as a whole.

There are five lifestyle areas that I feel are important to keep in check at all times.

  • Relationships/Community
  • Rest/Sleep
  • Nutrition
  • Exercise/Movement
  • Spirituality

I purposely do not list Stress as a category – because if you don’t take care of these 5 areas, you will have stress in your life.

When you come to see me, you will leave with a lifestyle prescription.

I look forward to working with you.

What to expect out of this blog:

I will only embed links that might be necessary to take you back to an earlier blog post of mine (not to say that I don’t feel it is important to use other sources of information) but more so because it takes you away from staying on this specific topic and engaging in the flow of information.

I would suggest reading the rest of my post, then going to the link, because if you haven’t already read that post, it may help you to understand the current post more. Make sense?

All my posts will provide you with:

  • The Problem (you are currently experiencing in your life)
  • The Action Step (necessary to rid the problem from reoccurring)
  • Method (how to take this action step)
  • Analogy (I personally understand best from analogies, and I hope you might too)

Enjoy!

I Start to Spiral

I Start to Spiral

I hear the following often: ‘ and then I start to spiral’.

In summary, women are telling me that they find themselves in a helpless and uncontrollable position. They tell me their mind takes over and thus so do their behaviours. The behaviours that follow are not favoured. Examples may be texting a person you do not want to text, yelling at your children, or emotional eating – just to name a few.

The cause of this ‘lack of control’ is simple. They have created a thought loop that stems from the subconscious.

I am not going to go deep into the psychology of the minds (conscious, subconscious, and superconscious) but just know that there are many stored memories in the subconscious, likely from childhood.

In step 1 of my transformational program, we look at these stored thoughts that continually cycle through the mind, which then become beliefs. We must realize that the more awareness we place on the thought, the more we believe it is true and the more it manifests into our reality.

In step 2 of the program, we train our mind to focus our awareness on other areas of the mind that contain a higher frequency of happiness, peace, and joy. By focusing on these energies more often, we begin to rewire the mind and our behaviour changes.

I can think of a few women in my program who, while in a new relationship, spoke of how they ‘spiralled down’ quickly because of their partner’s behaviour and their patterned thoughts related to low self-worth. We used the power of awareness (being conscious of the thoughts and beliefs about themselves in the moment of hurt) and thus quickly shifted their awareness to the higher energies in their minds. After weeks and months of practising this, they realized that it is indeed possible to re-engineer their thought patterns. Soon they did not allow their energy to drop suddenly based on a simple comment or behaviour from someone near to them. They realize they can preserve and covet their happiness at any given moment IF they became aware in the moment.

Step 3 of the program is focused on repetition. When we notice that our awareness is shifting to old patterns of thoughts and emotions that carry low energies (frustration, guilt, shame, jealousy, or self-judgement) we shift our awareness to thoughts of higher frequency energy (joy, love, harmony, peace, divinity) and our energy and behaviours consequently shift. We essentially are rebirthed and transformed. This transformational process becomes life-changing for these women.

The next time you find yourself ‘spiralling’ please refer to this post. If I can help you to free yourself from unwanted behaviours or break free from an unhappy relationship into a relationship that celebrates you and your authenticity, feel free to contact me.
