<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Money stressing you out these days?<br />
</em></span></h2>
<h2>Find yourself obsessing about getting more of it, since there’s never enough?</h2>
<h2>Want the next era of your life to be a time of increasing financial health and abundance?</h2>
<p>Money is a touchy subject.</p>
<p>Entrepreneurs, and especially holistic healers, get massively triggered by the topic of money, value and receiving support.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch this week’s 14-minute Love Letter, the first in our 4-week series, to discover why your financial healing matters now more than ever.<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-4449"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"<strong><span class="s1">I would not talk about money.</span></strong>"</b></span></em></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This month, I'm so excited to talk to you about something that spirit has put on my heart very intensely, very intensely. It's been coming up with my clients and students, here at the dojo, right? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">It's been a commons source of conversation and focus in workshops and retreats that I've done over the last, we're going on 6 years in business. </span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">It's amazing to say that out loud, by the way. This is a very sensitive topic, some of the most intense healing that I've done myself, as well as held space for others here at the dojo, and in her other incarnations, whether online or in former locations, or over the phone, etc.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1"> This topic is heavy duty stuff. We are going to do a four week deep dive into, drum roll please, financial healing, financial healing. </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">At the filming of this love letter, it is currently the beginning of December. In the US, most of the US, we regard this as the beginning of the end of the year, and we're ramping up to a new year, right? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">We're getting ready for ... I'm here in New Jersey, so we watch the ball drop in New York City, and the fireworks, and so on and so forth. It's our arbitrary, let's get in alignment time. Tie up all your loose ends because we're going into a brand new epoch, a brand new year.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Regardless of the time that you're actually watching this love letter, I want you to invoke that same sense of ... I am now 4 weeks away from an entirely new era in my life, right? I am only 4 weeks away, right now, from entering an entirely new era in my life. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You get the chills? I'm getting them. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>This is powerful. I desire for you to enter, the next era of your life is a financial healing, and being a financial healer. Not just for yourself, of course for yourself first, but for your family, your community, your team, your state, your country, right?</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Your hemisphere, your world. This is really powerful. If we heal our relationship with our finances, what we're really doing is healing the sense of safety on Earth.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Now, I know that was like a big statement. Dial it back, in our four week deep dives, if you've been following them now, you understand that our first week, right? Week one, is all about why?</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"> You know I'm a Simonite, I love Simon Sinek. We start with why. </span></strong><span class="s1"><strong>If you don't know why you're doing what you're doing, or why we're talking about what we're talking, or why we're doing financial healing, you're not going to have the juice necessary to carry it through.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Be kind to yourself, if you're someone who ... Money and finances is a very touchy subject, right? And you'd rather be listening to more spiritually stuff, or something other than money, don't talk to me about money, because you have strong triggers around that.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong><span style="color: #800080;"> This is actually for you, especially, for you especially. Because, if you have funky reactions around financial energy, that means that funkiness or that disgust, or frustration, or anger, or triggeredness, that means it's time for some healing work, right?</span> </strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Your discomfort is a growth edge. That's a writer downer, or a Tweetable. To my team who's watching this, put that in for the Tweetable of the week. Your discomfort Is a growth edge.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"> Let's talk about why it's so important for us to walk into the discomfort around finances, so that we can create financial healing. </span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">First in our own lives, and then for our community and world at large. That's our intention. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-2049 size-full" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png" alt="TWEETOFTHEWEEK" width="462" height="86" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png 462w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-300x56.png 300w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-460x86.png 460w" sizes="(max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px" /></p>
<h2 class="p1"><a href="https://ctt.ec/OZl6f" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Know this: Your discomfort is a growth edge. #entrepreneur #healing @SenseiWhitfield</a></h2>
<h2 class="p1"><a href="https://ctt.ec/OZl6f"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2243" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/tweetbutton-300x129.gif" alt="tweetbutton" width="150" height="64" /></a></h2>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> The reason was, when it comes to finances and abundance, it's not about the money. It's not about the money. What's underneath financial healing, is healing safety. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">Healing our relationship with feeling safe and trusting that we are going to be safe moving forward, think about it. Think about it. </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Think about someone in particular, maybe it's not you, right? We love to take examples from outside of ourselves, because it's easier, yes. With love, mwah, if that's you. Sending you big hearts. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"> Think of someone who you know, who has maybe a money addiction, or has a hard time keeping money, or can't seem to increase their sales, or make and sales in the first place.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> I cannot tell you how many healers I have met over my few years in business. </span><span class="s1">I can't say I have all the answers and I've met everybody on the planet, but I have been on a national tour, and I have been on a world tour, and I have treated hundreds of people, who most of which are healers. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">If you're watching this, chances are you're a healer or you're an entrepreneur, because we resonate, yes, yes.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Healers in particular, when it comes to financial energy, maybe it's not you, right? We're thinking of another healer who...</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong>They don't wanna do sales, they don't wanna look at the finances, it's gross, it's creepy, it's scary, it's hard, it's hard work.</strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">No, I wanna communicate with the guides and fly with the platypus in mid air while I'm meditating, all the good things, yes, yes. It's gorgeous, right? </span><span class="s1">I wanna feel the energy, and the white light, and the Reiki ... I'm saying this as a Reiki Master and all of that. I say this with big love, but I'm calling you out. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> Healers need the most healing around financial energy, and the relationship with finances, because we need you feeling safe and strong so that you can get out there and heal more people, because our world needs you. If you don't know whether or not you're a healer, yet.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If you don't know if you're a healer just yet, chances are you serve others, right? You support people in your community, you support your team at work, you support your family, we need you to feel safe and grounded, confident in your relationship with wealth and abundance, so that you can continue to serve and uplift the community with all of that love and brilliance that you bring, I know you do, I know you do. This one is for you, this is your month.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> Why are we going in for a financial healing, four week deep dive into it? Because you've got work to do, and it's not just about the money, this is not, we're not gonna be talking, I'm not an accountant, I'm not an accountant, right?</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">We may talk about ways for you to receive for money, and we also may talk about ways for you to give more money, as well as save more money, and to honor your finances, and to really clear out your energy. Sure, but what we're really looking at, is your relationship to safety. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>Now, I'm hearing the Oracle cards calling in the energy, and we're gonna be with this deck all month. Angels of Abundance, by the way, came from my financial healer, Julie Shopa at clarityfinances.com. Thank you for this gift, mwah, one of the over 20 decks now and counting at the dojo to play with.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Most of which are donations, just like coming from Julie, so thank you for your love my dear friend, all your support of me and our tribe.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> Let's see here, come on out. Okay. Angels of Abundance, Angels of Abundance, what do we need to know right now about beginning a four week deep dive? This is very intense energy, four week deep dive into financial healing. All right now, this is interesting.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Now, regardless of whether your New Years starts in January, or February, or September, right? Regardless of what you're looking at, as far as religious beliefs, or beliefs about the calendar and dating. Not like relationship dating, but as in dates on the calendar. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>It's interesting, but this guy's coming up, Santa Claus here. In America, we're a predominantly Christina country, although it is different from time to time, so different Muslim beliefs, Jewish, etc. But, it's interesting that we're got winter scenes, and animals, and presents and things.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The angels are seeing exactly where we are at in time and space and honoring that. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> Windfall of abundance.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">An increase in abundance is arriving in many different forms, some of them unexpected. Be open to receiving, and know that this abundance comes to you to support your life purpose, health, and charitable work. Check this out. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>What we're going to be looking at, is being open to receiving, right? In the next four weeks. For support of your life purpose, health, and charitable work. There's your why. Why you need financial healing, right?</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">We need to turn up the volume on your life purpose, turn up the volume on your level of help, and health ... I love that, I said help instead of health, so good. And turn up the volume on your charitable work, right? This makes it a lot more specific, but I think it's hilarious that it's Santa Clause, what in the world?</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> So good. Is this resonating for you? Send me an email back, comment below, by the way text me, who do you think just walked in the door back there?</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">I'm curious to see, we're about to have a group meeting here at the dojo, we're a community here. Take a guess, I'd be curious to hear who you think just popped in back there, if you caught that Easter egg. But, send me an email back, is this resonating for you? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>What in your life do you feel, and your financial, is ready for healing? Is this timely? Tell me, tell me.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Make sure you subscribe on Youtube, so that you get these love letters first every week, and get ready for it, mwah. I'll see you next week, let's do this. Bye.</span></p>

<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Are you stressing yourself sick?</em></span></h2>
<h2><em>Never-ending to do list got you feeling overwhelmed?</em></h2>
<h2><em>Feeling like you've always got a million things going on, no matter how much you get done?</em></h2>
<p>Being productive can be very fulfilling to the inner Achiever in all of us.</p>
<p>But what do we do when we are so busy that there's not enough "me" to go around?</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch this week's 8-minute love letter to learn how to start slowing down now!</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-3636"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"I've been having trouble sleeping lately."</b></span></em></p>
<p class="p1">This week in particular, Source wants you to know that you have got to slow down. Slow down.</p>
<p class="p1">Perhaps lately you've been going at pedal to the metal type pace. Perhaps it's really been the time of the year or things going on with your family or for yourself and your own personal development, but for some reason Source wants you to know that this week in particular you have got to slow down.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>You don't have to go pedal to the metal all the time. Slowing down is less of a matter of speed and more a matter of mindfulness.</strong></p>
<p class="p1"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-2049 size-full" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png" alt="TWEETOFTHEWEEK" width="462" height="86" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png 462w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-300x56.png 300w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-460x86.png 460w" sizes="(max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px" /></p>
<h2 class="p1"><a href="http://ctt.ec/VZidY"><strong><span class="s1">Know this: Slowing down is less about speed than it is about mindfulness. #selfcare @SenseiWhitfield</span></strong></a></h2>
<p><a href="http://ctt.ec/VZidY"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2243" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/tweetbutton-300x129.gif" alt="tweetbutton" width="150" height="64" /></a></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">One of the things I could tell you that you're going too fast, the Guides are saying are the signs of your body. When you're going too fast, your health may creep up, give you a cold or give you more aches and tension in your body or you may have trouble sleeping. These are physical signs, aches and pains in your body that you may be going too fast.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>Other signs that you are going too fast could manifest emotionally, so where something that you thought would not be a problem and you're so used to doing this all the time, or <em>"Yeah sure, come on over. I'd love to meet a new person"</em> or something like that.</strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You go into it thinking that this would be perfectly fine and in the moment there's more emotion than you were expecting coming out of you. That is an emotional red flag to say, <em>"Hey, you are going way too fast. It's faster than you thought you could go."</em></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Lastly there are spiritual signs that you are going too fast and those are more issues of values coming up where you're doing things that are out of alignment perhaps for somebody else's vision to help move their business forward or to help move their agenda forward or to help heal their lives, where you're not feeling your own alignment.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">You're sacrificing your own alignment for that of others. Other spiritual issues that you're going too fast may be an experience that scares you, like above and beyond your comfort zone coming through.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Now this is not to say that if you're doing something that scares you, you're out of alignment but you know, you know more than anybody else what crossing your lines looks like. Here's the thing:</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>A sign that you're going too fast is that you don't know your own boundaries, and I'm hearing the Oracle Cards coming up starting to speak, but briefly boundaries are structure, the structure that provides our safety and foundation in life as individuals.</strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This is not lines that keep people out per se, it can, but that's not the intention. This is meant to support and be the foundation of health, safety and well-being in our own lives.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>This is going to be a boundaries week. Be kind to yourself.</strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">(By the way, Oracle Cards, we have some new decks in the Dojo. Archangel Raphael Healing cards from Doreen Virtue. This is one of now 19 decks and counting of Oracle Cards that you can come and play with here at the Dojo, and if you ever want to donate anybody, we're always receiving donations, absolutely.)</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>Let's ask Archangel Raphael, <em>"What do we need to know right now about slowing down?"</em></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Two cards have come up. I don't normally flip over two at once. That was unexpected.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Relationship and second opinion.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">First off, the relationship card says, <em>"Dear Archangel Raphael, thank you for healing and guiding all of my relationships upon the path of love."</em></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">The Guides and the Angels are saying where you're going to need to slow down and be more mindful this week in your relationships.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Now it might be your personal relationships or your professional relationships, but this basically means that there are other people involved, but underneath all our relationships is our relationship with ourselves, right, who you decide to be as you show up with others.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Guides and the Angels are saying that there are other people involved in why you need to slow down this week, hence boundaries, right?</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Then here we are. The other card, second opinion. <em>"Dear God and Archangel Raphael, guide me to the best health care professionals for this situation."</em></span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">In your relationships and in your week, this week in particular, you're going to want to seek out guidance and input from third parties. Now Archangel Raphael is the Angel in charge of physical healing and medical health, medical intuition, etc.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>This is saying other health care providers, but it's not just physical health care, medical health care. It may be for your mental health, so seek a third party.</strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If you are the best brain surgeon on the planet and you needed something removed from your brain, you go get the other best or the second best brain surgeon. You don't do that on yourself, you don't do brain surgery on yourself.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This is also a week of reaching out specifically to a third party. This is someone who's removed from the situation.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">I'm always here and I'd be happy to support you in any way. Also if you're looking for someone in particular, I have a very large network of referrals and people I can refer you to. Send me an email back at senseivictoriawhitfield@gmail.com.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>With your situation, if you'd like to reach out and receive help or book a session together so that we're able to work through and get that third party opinion to help you find your center again and help you slow down.</strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get your love letters every week, and I'll see you next time. Bye.</span></p>

<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Are you stressing yourself sick?</em></span></h2>
<h2><em>Never-ending to do list got you feeling overwhelmed?</em></h2>
<h2><em>Feeling like you've always got a million things going on, no matter how much you get done?</em></h2>
<p>Being productive can be very fulfilling to the inner Achiever in all of us.</p>
<p>But what do we do when we are so busy that there's not enough "me" to go around?</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch this week's 8-minute love letter to learn how to start slowing down now!<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-3018"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"I've been having trouble sleeping lately."</b></span></em></p>
<p class="p1">This week in particular, Source wants you to know that you have got to slow down. Slow down.</p>
<p class="p1">Perhaps lately you've been going at pedal to the metal type pace. Perhaps it's really been the time of the year or things going on with your family or for yourself and your own personal development, but for some reason Source wants you to know that this week in particular you have got to slow down.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>You don't have to go pedal to the metal all the time. Slowing down is less of a matter of speed and more a matter of mindfulness.</strong></p>
<p class="p1"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-2049 size-full" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png" alt="TWEETOFTHEWEEK" width="462" height="86" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png 462w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-300x56.png 300w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-460x86.png 460w" sizes="(max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px" /></p>
<h2 class="p1"><a href="http://ctt.ec/84seZ"><strong><span class="s1">Know this: Slowing down is less about speed than it is about mindfulness. #selfcare @SenseiWhitfield</span></strong></a></h2>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> One of the things I could tell you that you're going too fast, the Guides are saying are the signs of your body. When you're going too fast, your health may creep up, give you a cold or give you more aches and tension in your body or you may have trouble sleeping. These are physical signs, aches and pains in your body that you may be going too fast. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>Other signs that you are going too fast could manifest emotionally, so where something that you thought would not be a problem and you're so used to doing this all the time, or <em>"Yeah sure, come on over. I'd love to meet a new person"</em> or something like that.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You go into it thinking that this would be perfectly fine and in the moment there's more emotion than you were expecting coming out of you. That is an emotional red flag to say, <em>"Hey, you are going way too fast. It's faster than you thought you could go."</em></span></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #003300;"><em>This time of year<br />
always feels like you.<br />
My warm winter jacket.</p>
<p>Thank you for your Love.</em></span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #003300;"><em><span id="more-1060"></span><br />
Your memory<br />
is a sweet fragrance<br />
that follows me.</p>
<p>Thank you for your Love.</p>
<p>I give recklessly<br />
Because you did.<br />
I have your hands, they say.</p>
<p>Thank you for your Love.</p>
<p>I hide your smile<br />
in my left breast pocket.<br />
My protector. Always.</p>
<p>Thank you for your Love.</p>
<p>Words fail.<br />
But if I tilt my head<br />
And close my eyes,</p>
<p>I can still smell your shoulder.<br />
I can hear your laugh.</p>
<p>Wandering by<br />
On a midwinter breeze.</p>
<p>Thank you for your Love.</p>
<p>Memories splinter, dashed<br />
Like broken china<br />
On the kitchen floor -</p>
<p>You'll pick them up<br />
and make their glitter<br />
turn to stars tonight.</p>
<p>Just like you always do</p>
<p>I love you,<br />
See you at dinner.</p>
<p>- SVW</em></span></h2>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was watching a recorded discussion of <a href="http://live.huffingtonpost.com/r/segment/holiday-stress-management/50ce34a378c90a45c1000144" target="_blank">"Forced Merriment" on the Huffington Post Live</a> today and thought of you. (Full video embedded below.) Are you genuinely happy during the holidays? For some it can feel like we are embarking on The Most *Difficult* Time of the Year.</p>
<p>The holidays are fast approaching and now's the time to be proactive about building up your mental and spiritual health in preparation for them. Don't wait until you're having a panic attack - turkey baster in hand - to consider starting some anti-stress habits and exercises.</p>
<p>Here are a 3 tips to get you started building your anti-stress habits for the holidays:</p>
<p><span id="more-168"></span></p>
<h3>Anti-Stress Habits for the Holidays:</h3>
<p><strong>1.</strong> <strong>Be Kind to Yourself, First.</strong> What does this mean? I know I say this all the time in class and in sessions, but it essentially boils down to this: Practice Non-Judgement - Refuse to be Perfect, Choose to be Honest. Somewhere along the line <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/merissa-bury/perfectionism_b_2457599.html" target="_blank">we have adopted this crazy notion that being perfect is an acceptable and attainable goal</a>, and that once we achieve perfection, we can finally be happy and it will make everyone finally approve of and respect us. Well I hate to be the one to tell you this, but you'll never be perfect. Instead, be Honest about how you feel and what you care about, no matter how messy or awkward it gets, and no matter who is visiting for dinner. Honesty and Authenticity command respect naturally, and if you've decided that you're here to live your most authentic life - in order to do that to the fullest - you'll have to actively practice Honesty. So start now.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> <strong>Meditate.</strong> The <a href="http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052748704896104575140011148266470" target="_blank">AMA recommends a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise a day</a> to maintain your <em>physical</em> health, however what are you doing daily to fortify your <em>mental</em> health? A healthy, nonreactive mindset raises your quality of life dramatically, but it can only be cultivated over time - similar to effective weight loss and maintenance: as you consistently exercise each day the big results begin to show and stick. Regular meditation builds a relaxation reflex that keeps you calm and less emotionally reactive throughout each day, which can prove invaluable when your overbearing sister-in-law starts getting on your nerves over Thanksgiving Dinner. <a href="http://www.victoriawhitfield.com/?page_id=6" target="_blank"><em>Can't seem to meditate? I have live individual and group meditation options for you, as well as recorded meditations that you can enjoy on your own time.</em></a></p>
<p><strong>3. Make Yourself Laugh, Often.</strong> They say <a href="http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/curiosity/topics/10-reasons-why-laughing-good-for-you.htm" target="_blank">laughter is good for your health</a>, but why wait for something funny to happen to laugh? If you tend to have road rage while traveling or find yourself making yourself more and more anxious when you even think about seeing the family over Christmas / Hanukkah vacation, chances are you are missing out on a good laugh. Whenever you feel pissed or anxious, try to remember one of the funniest things that ever happened to you, or one of the funniest comedy routines or movies you ever saw, and begin to relive it. Allow yourself some time to laugh like a total idiot - don't worry about what others think; this one's for you and only you. Laugh when people cut you off in traffic, and think of something funny when you feel anxious - but never laugh to belittle yourself. Humor should raise your vibration and genuinely elevate you out of a rotten mood, rather than glaze over or hide your problems.</p>
