Self-Compassion in Action
Mental health is a topic we frequently hear about in the news and in social and professional circles, but mental health is rarely well-defined. Understanding what healthy emotional functioning is, what causes mental health problems and what to do about them includes many factors, but it starts and ends with self-compassion. A focus on self-compassion addresses the most important relationship you will ever have in life - the relationship you have with yourself. This is usually the relationship we pay the least attention to even though it has the biggest impact on our experience of life. Do you find yourself mostly focused on others? Would you like to include yourself among the people in your scope of focus? Begin today taking actions toward your own healthy emotional functioning, putting self-compassion into action.

Calming Anxiety
Anxiety is a widely experienced and largely misunderstood problem. You know it when you have it but understanding where it comes from and what to do about it is a bit less clear for most people. Many folks don’t realize that anxiety is the driving force in addictions and other troubling behaviors that perpetuate the experience of anxiety. Anxiety is often considered a thought like “what if… “ or a behavior as in worrying or biting your nails, but anxiety is actually an unconscious bodily reaction that gives you an action urge inside of you. Since this action urge is occurring outside of your awareness, you don’t notice it and you may wonder why you take the actions that you take when you know they are not going to be good for you. Attend Calming Anxiety to get clear for yourself about what anxiety actually is, how you personally experience it, what specifically causes it in you, and how you can calm and ultimately eliminate the painful distress and discomfort of unregulated anxiety.
