Weather and feelings work hand in hand, being afraid, ashamed of, or embarrassed by your feelings is like being afraid of the weather, because feelings (tears, panic attacks, angry outbursts, withdrawal, depression, elation, lust, romantic excitement, euphoria) are the weather conditions of the inner self. Certainly there are weather conditions that are fearsome, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, exploding volcanoes and fierce fires, and we need to control these if we can, and protect ourselves from them. But, like the weather, most climate conditions are pretty mild.  My clients have found it very helpful to use the metaphors of weather to understand how natural and normal  all  feelings are. Here are my thoughts on how the weather affects our feelings, feel free to share your opinion Sunshine Y our smile lights up your face the way the sun lights our day. Smiles, too can come from behind clouds or after emotional storms. The smile signals that all is well, pressur

Joel Osteen once said "when we complain, we remain and when we praise, we will be raised". We should always learn to be grateful for the blessings we have and be thankful for expected blessings. A lot of us miss our blessings when we concentrate on complaining and worrying over the things we do not have yet or the blessings we are yet to see. A lady kept asking God when the promise of a life partner would come, in fact that became her national anthem whenever she prayed. She would say "God, my mates are married, why me?", this went on for years and her mates kept getting married but she remained single. She pondered for a long time if God was not listening to her. The day she decided to change her prayer point, her life changed forever, she is happily married today with grown up kids, in fact this was her testimony. If only we understand the concept of time and season, we would seize complaining and envying others and praise God for the capacity of blessings

Have you been diagnosed with high blood pressure? According to recent statistics, about 77.9 million (1 out of every 3) adults have high blood pressure in the United States. If you’re one of those people, you might be concerned about using medication to bring it down. It’s important to remember that lifestyle plays a significant part in controlling your blood pressure. Here are 10 lifestyle changes you can make to lower your pressure and keep it down. 1) Watch your waistline According to research, blood pressure tends to increase as weight increases. Weight loss is seen as one of the most effective changes for controlling your blood pressure. According to national guidelines, for every 20 pounds you lose, you can drop systolic pressure 5-20 points. To put that in perspective, guidelines suggest that systolic numbers above 140 and diastolic numbers (the bottom number) above 90 are considered high. 2) Exercise regularly Don’t worry, you don’t have to run a marathon

What is the secret to raising good kids? It’s not an easy question to answer. You probably know a number of good parents that are able to raise all their kids in the same, strategic manner. So, how do they do it? Do they know some hidden techniques that you don’t? Well, actually, yes they do! There are a few rules that good parents make use of for raising their children. What are these rules? We have listed them out below: 1) Spend Quality Time With Them: This is perhaps the most important part of raising a child. Spend quality time with your kids, regularly, no matter how busy your schedule might be. Ask them questions about themselves, ask them about their perception of the world and how they see it, and always remember to actively listen to what they have to say. A study from the University of Warwick found that children who spend more time with their parents tend to perform better academically. This plays a key role in the personal development of any childre

Some of you will be happily relieved to read this, while others, I suspect new couples may be cringing a bit. Turn that cringe into a smile because not only can you let that built up gas you’ve been holding in all night long free, it will also boost your intimacy with your partner (ironic, I know). So what’s the deal? In her book Naked Parenting, Leah Decesare goes on to discuss the topic and it’s benefits. 1. Sincerity and trust is formed by being 100% naturally you And by being 100% naturally you, this means farting as well. We all do it and by allowing your partner to hear a “ sneaky one” or a “toot” they’ll automatically feel special, as if you’ve let them in on a secret nobody else shares with you. 2. You’re giving others the green light to be themselves Most men are delighted once the relationship gets to this stage. It means they also, can feel free to be themselves and just let em’ rip. 3. Good relationships are built on honesty and trust This means free f
