  Hello Natural Health Family. We have faced a lot of colder weather recently. I hope everyone is able to stay warm and know that spring is coming. Today we will talk about the subtle difference between being for something rather than being against it and why it is important.  When is the last time you wanted to change something in your life but always found yourself thinking about what you don’t want. We have been thinking in a mode of survival for thousands of years. This mode of thinking would be to prepare for the worst incase something bad or unfortunate were to happen. This makes sense when people were needing to prepare for long winters, to protect themselves from other predators, gather as much food as possible, etc. That is how we have thought for long periods of time. However, our environment is not like that anymore. Now it is more involved with finances, rent, how people think of us, what to say to others, etc. This can create the same response in our bodies.

  Good day Natural Health Family! I imagine everyone is still hanging in there with everything happening. Today I wanted to give some motivation and to put some things into perspective so you know that you are not alone in all of this. Today’s blog is about striving forward and not giving up.  The world may appear to be a bit chaotic right now.

This was important because we needed to protect ourselves from threat outside of us. So when things appear in our lives that seem out of sorts or not familiar, we may find the small details that are out of place. We continually do this all the time even without us realizing. T...

Hello Natural Health Family! I hope you had an amazing weekend and spent quality time with friends and family. In this post I wanted to discuss the negativity happening in the world and my view on what we need to do to change the way we respond to activities in our lives.      Throughout the years we have seen or experienced what seem to be unfortunate events in this country and in the world. Recently, there have been many protests that have unfortunately turned into chaos and rioting. Many people are losing their houses and businesses due to irrational people and people who maybe want revenge for something that happened. (There also may be other powers at play but that is for another topic of discussion.) These are difficult times for many people and this can cause many people to react negatively in many different situations. And just when it seems like we are getting back to more of a peaceful state, another event appears in our world which causes more chaos a...
