                 Happy April Everyone!  


Hi EAP Community!


Thank-you for all the opportunities to present trainings on your behalf. You'll see what I'm doing for some of you under my 'Corporate Training' sidebar.  I'm looking forward to a busy spring for all of us!

I thought you might enjoy receiving a copy of the newsletter I send to my online community.  Let me know if you'd like to receive my weekly 'M&M's' as well and I'll add you to my Heart-Centered Programs mailing list.

Enjoy!

============================================

Spring is Here!  And in So. California the flowers and trees are blooming!  How about you?  Are you blooming?  Are the goals you set in January coming up?  Have you been watering and tending to them?  Goals (and you) need attention, focus and loving care!

This month is all about 'Springing Forward' and cleaning and clearing out anything that is no longer supporting you. So whatever obstacles that are in your way, hindering your from achieving your goals, this is the time to 'root' them out and pull them up!  Make a space and room for all your dreams to flower and flourish!

And, I want to hear from you too!  Tweet me at @heartcenteredpg and let me know how you're doing!

NEXT MONTH:
May is about 'Community and Support-Systems'

Here's to living a Heart-Centered Life filled with Joy, Love, and Happiness!

warmly,

5 Steps to Clear Mental Clutter


Clutter is anything that gets in the way of what matters most to you. It can certainly be material—unwanted trinkets and clothes that no longer fit—but clutter also can be spiritual, emotional, and psychological.

Maybe you’ve found yourself unable to meditate or pray because you can’t stop thinking about an insensitive remark your coworker made. Or you’ve filled hours of your life with worry and irritation about something you can’t control. Perhaps you’re still mad at a college roommate who has owed you rent money for decades, or the memory of an embarrassing moment in your past sometimes creeps into your thoughts and leaves you cringing and mortified for hours.

These aggravations and other negative thoughts about people and situations can get in the way of an intentional life focused on the things you actually value. Regrets, anger, frustrations, anxieties, envy, and other nonproductive emotions may be depleting your limited energy. And, unfortunately, mental clutter doesn’t magically disappear; the only way to alleviate mental clutter is to deal with it.

'Heart-Centered' Balance Tips April

Spring Forward

SPECIFIC TIPS

1.  Where do you want to Go: The truth is many of us don't really have an answer to this question.  We may just know we want something different, bigger, better, simpler, kinder, easier, etc.  But, you do need to decide to make a change and then commit to the steps that will allow you to move forward.


2.  Clean:  Spring Cleaning - it's not just about having a cleaner home.  Clean out everything getting in the way of your springing forward in your life. Clean out the junk taking up space in your home in the form of negative and useless thoughts, clutter, unfinished projects, uncompleted goals.  You must first clean and complete to open up a space for something new.

3.  Refresh:  Take yourself on a retreat to refresh your mind, body and spirit.  Get back in touch with your senses and reconnect with nature.  Allow yourself to feel your emotions and focus on the sensations of your body.  Listen to what it's telling you.  The answer you're seeking is always found within.
      
  4. Enjoy:  The moment - enjoy the day. - Enjoy the Journey.  Too many of us are waiting to be happy for when we get there - that place in our lives when everything is exactly as we want it to be.  Spring Forward to something different or better is a great goal - but if we don't enjoy the ride - we'll never get on it! Embrace & Enjoy it All!
