By Peggy LindseyWe are physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual beings. That may seem a foreign concept to some, but if we take a moment to look, we can see clearly how our human experience is made of each of these aspects. What kind of relationship do you have with these parts of yourself? Are they in parity with one another? Maybe you live at the gym every day . .
By Peggy Lindsey Beliefs . . . we all have them! Normally we don’t give them a second thought, but when we consciously work with them, they have the power to change the course of life’s trajectory. Most of us are ruled by our thoughts, and if we’re honest, they don’t serve us very well much of the time. Stuck in our heads, we overthink everything. It’s exhausting. We’re bombarded with
By Peggy LindseyComfort zones . . . we love them! They feel so good and safe, and we relax easily in their embrace. Just as with your favorite pair of slippers, you eventually have to step into something new. Lately, we are all getting pushed out of comfort zones, and quite rapidly I might add! Changes are happening so fast it makes our heads spin. Perhaps we could all use
By Peggy LindseyInstead of the usual New Year’s resolutions, I invite you to consider a fresh approach in 2025. It’s a bold move . . . and perhaps a bit unfamiliar, but it’s a game changer. Living from the heart . . . That’s it? It sounds simple enough. But, can we do it? It’s not just about doing nice things for people. It’s about getting out of our thinking
By Peggy Linsdey The holidays are filled with gatherings with those we hold dear, yet this can feel profoundly different after the loss of a loved one. Instead of joy, the season can bring a sense of absence, longing, and sorrow. Yet, even amidst grief, it is possible to find true moments of light, connection, and meaning. Honor your emotions. You can’t shut down your grief, but you can make room
By Peggy Lindsey In this age of fitness centers, dietary supplements, and various ways to stay healthy, a diagnosis of terminal illness seems so unreal. Yet, it is estimated that 1.5 million people in the U.S. are struggling with such diseases at any given time. Caregivers and relatives ride the emotional rollercoaster every day . . . handling discussions with the medical team, worrying about finances, feeling both inadequate and on
By Peggy LindseyWe all have experienced the ending of a relationship. Saying farewell to those we are closely connected with is a deeply human experience that often comes with pain and difficulty. The emotional aftermath is different for everyone, but almost all of us face feelings of loss, confusion, and grief. Sometimes these changes in relationships are not caused by anything bad, but simply from circumstances of growth. Yet the
By Peggy LindseyLife is not a bed of roses . . . nor is it a bed of thorns. Life is a combination of the wonderful and the awful with everything in between! Our past with all of its ups and downs plays a major part in who we are. That’s a fact. The circumstances we survived will always be with us. Beautiful memories rest sweetly in our hearts, bringing
By Peggy LindseyIt’s best to just call it as it really is. What we refer to as sadness can actually be grief, and grief is an experience none of us can escape. What do I mean by this? Most of us hold the misconception that grief is only a result of bearing the death of a loved one. In reality, however, grief hits whenever we encounter any kind of loss
By Peggy LindseyYou know the moment . . . when time stands still . . . the phone call comes, and everything else seems unimportant as you face what’s in front of you. There’s no warning. The shock freezes you or puts you in overdrive. It all feels so surreal. In moments of crisis, the importance of self-care cannot be overstated. Maintaining your mental, emotional, and physical health is crucial!
By Peggy Lindsey We all desire to be loved, accepted, and included so we don’t have to be alone. Yet, in so doing, we smother our own uniqueness as we surrender to uniformity. We don our pretend faces just to be liked. It looks something like this . . . Be outgoing, but not popular. Be well-spoken, but not overly intelligent. Be vulnerable, but hide your tears. Act perfectly, but make
By Peggy LindseyMay brings the beautiful celebration honoring our mothers. We ponder the nurturing given to us as a child and revere the woman who offered them to us. These early gifts helped us grow in healthy ways! Was that true for you? There are many among us who did not receive what they needed . . . the love, understanding, safety, and joy required to evolve and flourish into
