The Incongruency of Mind, Heart, and Body: Understanding the Brain-Heart-Body Connection

Today, we dive deep into the fascinating world of the brain-heart-body connection. Have you ever wondered why people often say one thing but do something completely different? Join us as we explore the intricacies of the three-brain system that governs our thoughts, emotions, and actions. The Conscious, Subconscious and Unconscious Mind At the core of our being, we possess three interconnected yet distinct aspects of the mind: the conscious, subconscious and the unconscious. The conscious mind represents our rational thinking, decision-making, and logical reasoning. It is the part of our brain that is responsible for all our executive functions that we can actively control. On the other hand, the subconscious mind operates beneath our conscious awareness as a barrier between the conscious and unconscious. It helps us remember mundane things: how to speak and act automatically, such as waking up, going to the bathroom and saying good morning. Then there is the unconscious part of the mi...

Riding the Waves of Change: Embracing Challenges for Personal Growth

Life and changes go hand in hand; they are inevitable parts of this journey, and many challenges,  ups and downs, and twists and turns  come with them. But, while challenges may initially seem daunting, they hold within them the potential for our personal growth, resilience, positive transformation and ultimate success and happiness.

Here are some ways I personally do just that: Embracing Challenges as Catalysts for Growth: Challenges are not obstacles to be avoided but opportunities for growth and learning.

Credit Secrets You Should Know

Did you Know,  35% of your FICO score is based on your payment history?  Fair Isaac Corporation (abbreviation FICO) provides "software for calculating a person's credit score" (Dictionary). It  is the largest and best-known of several credit- socing companies located in the USA. Building or repairing your credit can take years. Consistently making late payments can severely damage your credit score, so make sure you make every payment before the due date.

What Does Financial Freedom Mean For You?

Financial freedom is different for everyone based on their desires, lifestyle and life experiences.  For some people, it means having a financial cushion: savings, investments, a nest egg and enough cash (on hand) to afford their lifestyle and pursue their dreams. We all want to live a comfortable debt-free life, and financial freedom will allow us to make choices without financial limitations to meet our needs and pursue our goals without worrying about money.   It incorporates the five pillars of financial planning: income, investments, insurance, tax and estate planning—3ITEp.  Achieving financial freedom requires a careful life assessment: lifestyle, budgeting, investing, borrowing, and simplifying your means. It requires you to ask yourself three simple questions: What does financial freedom look like? What does financial freedom feel like? What does financial freedom sound like? It would help if you had a clear picture of what it means and looks like to you to know ...

The Truth About Mindfulness: 5 Practical Tips That Will Make Us More Mindful Everyday

The Truth About Mindfulness: 5 Practical Tips That Will Make Us More Mindful Everyday  As we head into the new week and month, may I remind you to stay mindful. Mindfulness doesn't require us to pray, meditate or carry out any rituals; mindfulness merely asks us to pay attention to our surroundings, how we feel inside and how we make people feel while in our presence. It is intentionally being present in each moment of our experiences without evaluating it as good or bad.  So when I speak of mindfulness, I do not speak in the Eastern sense or spiritual realm of emptying the mind of thoughts or watching our breath. For me, mindfulness invites us to WATCH: Watch our  W ords.  Watch our  A ctions. Watch our  T houghts. Watch our  C ompanions. Watch our  H abits. Watch our Words This tip reminds us to be mindful of the words we choose to use, as they can have a powerful impact on others. It encourages us to choose kind, inclusive, and respectful words...
