Dealing with Change!

Today’s a day like any other. If you think about it, the way you greet each day truly sets you up for the experience you will have living it. Your expectations revolve around what you’ve experienced so far, and what you expect about what’s to come. If you stay true to your history and your expectations, you may not adapt well if the reality changes. In other words, when you are open to whatever the day brings, whether positive or negative, you receive the benefits of “going with the flow”.

You allow the events, subsequently your feelings, personal interpretations, projections and life lessons to naturally appear to you as they unfold. It is up to you and your perspective alone to recognize it’s magic. You wave the wand (more…)

The Path of Peace!

When you think of conflicts in your life, particularly the interpersonal kind a good rule of thumb is to be aware. Conflicts are designed to alert people to an issue, difference or area that needs resolution or improvement. A conflict signals many things; sometimes one basic sticking point, other times many tendrils that make up the hardship.

Often times, its far easier to identify the conflict or the source of the disagreement than it is to reach for a solution. This is especially true (more…)

De-Stress Your Holidays with Nina!

How are you feeling as you experience this holiday season? It’s perfectly normal to experience stress, overwhelm, social pressure, some emotional up’s and down’s, decreased productivity, burn-out and the “holiday blues” during this time.

Stress in itself comes from a variety of stressors, big life events or a series of smaller events and issues calling for your attention. Typically, stress comes from outside sources beyond your control. Your reaction to stress is largely (more…)

Find Light in the Darkness!

The day’s murky grey color and softened quasi-rainy dampness makes me think of how you can see and work with dreary relationships and still find a place of comfort and peace. Depending on your point of view you can learn to manage a difficult relative, boss, co-worker, ex and other difficult people in your life and still enjoy the day! It really depends upon your point of view. Essentially it comes down to what you focus on, what you resonate with and what direction you choose to go.

You go through the reality of the day and what appears before you, it may feel dark and chilly at first. You then realize that (more…)

Living with Gratitude!

Ever wondered what you are here for, what you have in your life now that teaches you, you are truly thankful for and is there to help you grow? Take moments to ponder your existence, your life, your relationships, your work, your very reason for being here? Of course, you have. If you want to re-visit or begin anew, take the trip, it’s worth traveling! In finding out who you are, you respect and cherish what you feel and need, create a great future. There is so much to be thankful for every day, every phase and stage.

Relationships Change!

You know how you feel when life is good, when you’re secure with the people in your life. You feel good when you know who your friends are, who you’re related to, dating, in love with, married to; who you think or hope is “the one”. The feeling of emotional security captures your heart, erases the need to question, fear, worry, may or may not minimize any tendencies to self-delude.

What happens when your ideal picture changes, the glass of friendship or love slightly cracks or more significantly shatters? How do you respond to the inevitable choice to feel what is real, possibly let go of what has become increasingly unreal? Where do your good feelings go when you face change, break-up or lose a relationship?

A good rule of thumb is to be aware of yourself, your feelings, and the lessons that appear to you in each of your relationships. Be vigilantly aware of what’s going on in the moment, how you feel with that person, and feelings triggered by your association with them. As you get familiar with what exists between and (more…)
