In the past I would vacillate between religion/spirituality and psychology/therapeutic counseling. Rarely would I draw parallels or similarities between the two, thus tying them together to gain a better sense of who I am and my place/purpose in this world. My pendulum would swing one way or the other, resting very briefly, or not at all, in the middle as I attempted to find balance in my life. I know that in this life I will continue to swing to and fro, but with the swinging being based solely on center I achieve the balance that I strive for in life.

Reminding myself of my change is a daily thing. It is not as easy to keep the affected change – especially positive – without practice moment by moment. The same challenges that you had before the change are still there. Having accountability, whether it is a coach or a friend that you talk to multiple times during the week is helpful. Most importantly, being totally honest with yourself and whomever you have decided to be accountable to will be the most valuable thing you can to do. Read more…

We never really think about our breathing. It is an involuntary function and until something goes wrong, we don’t give it a second thought. The two most important times, in most of our lives, regarding breathing is birth and death. At birth we stand in anticipation holding our breath as we wait for that child to take that first gasp of air and let out that first cry. At death, if we have the experience of being with a loved one or someone else at their last moments, we, again, wait in anticipation. “Is that the last one?”
Those two moments are considered the most sacred ones of our lives. The first and the last breath. The vast multitude of moments in between are not as important unless something happens that brings us full circle to what could possibly be the last but then becomes the first all over again.
