In addition to developing a more organized life to enhance your emotional and physical well-being.

__________________________________________

Balancing/Strengthening a Healthy LifeStyle ... Find Your Path to Health and Resilience: Acceptance of self -- just as you are, does not mean that you have to like it -- the acknowledgement and acceptance of the here and now. At the same time, changing and developing whom you want to become.

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. ~Maria Robinson

__________________________________________

Reflections of the Soul ... Exploring Life Lessons and Spiritual Journey. Faith in yourself and your path will bring illumination to the darkness of fears, doubts and uncertainties.

As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit.
~Emmanuel Teney

Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into. ~ Mahatma Gandhi

___________________________________________

frog2Do you remember the story about the princess kissing a frog to find her prince? What a wonderful reminder for us to be nonjudgmental towards others in our lives, for we never really know what gifts and blessings they have to offer us.

A frog represents the simplicity of life ... but more importantly the frog is a reminder to be nonjudgmental and compassionate ... to yourself -- be mindful of your self-messages ... and in your reactions to others.

In Japanese symbolism the frog represents energy, perseverance, determination, and resolve.

THOUGHT TO PONDER

Without continual growth and
progress, such words as
improvement, achievement, and
success have no meaning.

DBT Assumptions
About Therapy

The most caring thing I can do is
to challenge you to be open to
choices that bring you closer to
your own ultimate goals and
life purpose.
Clarity, precision, and compassion
are of the utmost importance.

Our therapeutic relationship is a real
relationships between equals.
Principles of behavior are universal
effecting me no less than you.
It is not my intent, but I am
human and I can fail.
The therapeutic process can fail
even when I cannot.

Wise Mind Connection

Man is made by his belief
As he believes, so he is.
