“A belief is not an idea held by the mind, it is an idea that holds the mind.” Elly Roselle

Food and Stress

From the Women's Health Network Website:

"Many of us turn to food when we're stressed, but did you know timing your meals and snacks can also help limit stress?

When you let yourself get too hungry, you can experience low blood sugar levels.

This puts additional stress on your body and makes your adrenal glands work even harder -- which may lead to an adrenal imbalance with symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and irritability.

We recommend the following schedule to help lessen your adrenal burden:

• If possible, eat breakfast by 8:00 AM or within an hour of getting up.

• Try to eat lunch between 11:00 AM and noon.

• Eat a nutritious snack between 2:00 and 3:00 PM to get you through the natural energy dip around 3:00 or 4:00 PM.

• Make an effort to eat dinner around 5:00 or 6:00 PM.

The signs of an adrenal problem include: fatigue, weight gain, bouts of acne, sugar cravings, and intolerance to cold.

People who are chronically stressed may have adrenals that are producing higher levels of cortisol and adrenaline than they can sustain, and eventually become worn down, even exhausted. Without properly functioning adrenals, the body loses its ability to settle down, relax, sleep, and rejuvenate.

Adaptisol and Serinisol

" Adaptisol™ is formulated to address the most common symptoms of overworked adrenals, and using the latest research on phytotherapy to reduce the negative side effects of stress. Adaptisol is a natural, holistic adrenal-support supplement, containing:

Astragalus Root — used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years to support the immune system and help protect the body from physical, mental, or emotional stress.

Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) — prized for its ability to reduce fatigue, increase energy, and enhance mental clarity. Also widely used to boost the immune system and immune system response.

Rhodiola — a medicinal plant used for centuries in Russia and Scandinavia to improve response to physical stress, enhance immune function, and reduce fatigue.

Cordyceps — an East Asian extract used since antiquity to promote overall good health and, more specifically, to replenish immune system function. It also appears to act as an antioxidant in the body, protecting it from free-radical damage.


Adaptisol™ provides an increase in energy levels and endurance, bolsters the immune system, helps the body’s natural ability to adapt to stress, and enhances mental clarity."

Serinisol™ contains phosphatydlserine which helps to support reduction of cortisol (stress hormone) levels to improve sleep, reduce anxious feelings, enhance mental clarity, and improve your mood."

Here's an exercise to try:

From: Christie Marie Sheldon

1. Grab a piece of paper and confess to yourself in writing the factors that keep you afraid of change. For example jealousy, lack, loneliness or failure.

2. Close your eyes and imagine a bright, powerful light engulfing you, lifting all your worries away and clearing your mind of all fear. Feel the warmth of the light surge through you, penetrating every part of your body.

3. Bask in this light for a while, feeling it in every part of your body. Radiate it, expand it out 10, 50, 100 feet around you until it grows bigger than your home, city, state, country and eventually even bigger than the planet.

4. Now recall the thoughts, beliefs and feelings that lead you to a place where you are fearful of change. Let the light overpower and banish all these unwanted elements. Do this as many times as you
need to clear a particular block related to fear of change.

Let's start 2012 with a playful spirit, intention and focus.

From my hypnosis colleague, Wendi Friesen:

"What would you like to wake up to every day?

What is the best feeling you will have when you choose your 2012 accomplishments?

What is the one thing you want to add to all the experiences in your life?"

Take your imagination into the future and visualize your life when 5 years has passed and everything has gone as well as it possible could.

Begin today, let the doubts and fears arise, interupt negative memories, thoughts, feelings and behaviors, adjust your course as you go, continue to return to your dream, one step at a time you can create the life you desire.

Focus and create.

A life well lived is based on loving and serving yourself and others.

Hypnosis changes peoples lives for the better.
