"Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass...it's about learning how to dance in the rain."

We've had plenty of rain this month - is anyone dancing? or are you hibernating? Are you putting your goals on hold? Using the weather as an excuse?

This quote came to me in an email this week and I decided to share it with you.

Many of us wait for the perfect time to make lifestyle changes and the fact is there is no time like the present. If the thought is in your head that you want to make changes, yet your body is not taking the action to so, this creates a dis-ease between mind and body. I've said it before, this dis-ease over time may lead to disease and compromised health.

Think about this: When things connect there is usually a spark. Whether it be your electrical outlet, your car battery or when a couple meets for the first time.

The body has an electrical charge. That charge - that spark is responsible for nerve communication - without which your body's systems would not function (ie: your digestive system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, etc..)

What interfers with the electrical charge of our body?

For one heavy metals - here are a few examples. Aluminum can be found in many antiperspirants, in commercial baking powders and mercury can be found in seafood.

Electromagnetic fields can also disrupt the charge of your body. They are present in microwaves, computers, cell phones, to name a few.

But the one I want to focus on today are thoughts.

Our thoughts have a charge - that's why they call them positive and negative thoughts. Did you know that positive thoughts can improve health and negative ones can compromise it. You have the power to change those thoughts. Only you. When you realize that the negative thoughts are hurting you and no one else you may be more apt to "dance in the rain" as stated so beautifully in the poem above.

Start with simple practices as found in my S.E.L.F. Nourishment Program.

Learn the benefits of
S ilence
E xercise
L aughter and a lighter attitude
F ood!

These are the key ingredients to restore health, decrease cravings, improve energy and experience an overall satisfaction with life.

Learning to dance in the rain starts with a single step - Let's Dance!

Stay well,
