See “SPARE TIME” below for tip on making the best of time!
See “Customized Instruction” below for an easy way to begin to actualize you. 

NOTE FROM THE COACH:

All healing is from the inside out.  While massage, herbs, vitamins, homeopathy, and/or prescriptions from the doctor, etc.,  can give us relief and comfort from symptoms and sometimes arrest a problem for a while, if the emotional or mental is not also cared for, we will keep triggering the hormones and chemicals that created dis-ease and dis-comfort in the first place. 

In the spirit of facilitating the WILL TO BE WELL, I coach using techniques based on some of the same tools that are used during my massages to release physical blockages of vital energy, blood and lymph -- kinesiology, acupressure and chakras, as well as cognitive techniques -- for accessing the wisdom and intuition of the heart and engaging the positive power of the mind.

If you are interested in simple and powerful tools to enable your body to heal from the inside out, and to empower yourself to actualize your highest potential, please contact me. 
Coaching is done nationwide by telephone in 30- or 60-minute sessions at a pace that is comfortable for you, decided upon at the time of the free initial consultation.   Please call me at 317-865-8179; or e-mail me at mtcoach@comcast.net; or write to me:

Spare Time

In most of the workshops I teach, I ask for everyone's typical stresses. Even when in Guadalajara, Mexico, I was not surprised to see at the top of the list, No bastante tiempo. People everywhere experience what experts tell us is one of the major sources of stress: The perception we don't have enough time.

Whether real or imagined, maybe the true culprit is how we're spending what little time we think we have.

Case in point: Make a list of the conversations, events, and situations that caused you to feel stressed the last 3 or 4 days. Go beyond the obvious stuff and consider the little things: The long line at the grocery store; that email from your boss; the argument with your spouse; the extra inning game your team lost, etc. Estimate how much time you spent worrying, fretting, reacting or getting irritated or annoyed over each of these events. (Are you still feeling guilty about that argument?) Add it all up.

Now revisit the same 3 or 4 days, and consider all the events, conversations, etc. you enjoyed. Feel better? How much time did you spend paying attention to this list? If you're like most people, you focus more on the negative events. Yet every time you do, you recreate the stressful feelings and rarely resolve anything. Talk about a waste of time!

So until someone figures out a way to add more hours to the day why not make the most of the time you do have?

• 1. Pay attention to and appreciate the positive situations, events, relationships, thoughts and emotions in your life. Each time you do you'll reduce your stress and feel better.
• 2. Become more aware of the situations, events, relationships, thoughts and emotions that are negative. Ignoring them creates the constant level of stress most people have grown accustomed to. Then stop the stressful feeling by repeating #1.

The best part is this takes no longer than saying, "I don't have enough time for this!"
