I just returned from attending the Holistic Treatment Conference in Las Vegas, April 28-30th. The focus was on changing the way we look at recovery and healing the body, mind and spirit. WOW! There are so many exciting things happening and it is about time. What we have been doing has been okay, but there is so much more to aid long term recovery and success. There was a major emphasis on the effects of food and nutrients on correcting brain function. Many centers are now using IV neurotransmitter replacement and oral nutrient therapy to speed detoxification and healing of the brain. Other holistic therapies as regular Exercise, Massage, Yoga, Tai Chi, Acupuncture, Chiropractic, etc., are becoming regular aspects of treatment offered at many inpatient facilities. Many are treating Dual Diagnosis as well as addiction with this holistic approach. My dream is to be able to have such a Wellness Center, both inpatient and outpatient. Now to find the funding to get going. If you know of anyone who is interested in fighting this battle of addiction and can help with monies to the non-profit foundation, please contact TurningLeaf at http//TurningLeafWellnessCenter.com.

Helping Your Child Through Rebellion
05/03/10
When asked, How can I change the course of a child that's heading on a self-destructive path, my response is, "Kids can't compass off the clouds." Our first instinct when a child rebels is to adjust what we are doing to lure them back or we metaphorically chase the child. We try heavy consequences or we make concessions, even enabling to bring them back to our way of thinking or behaving. This is due to how we personalize the rebellion rather than understanding it, rebellion is a time when we have the most influence based on how we respond to the rebellion. We can change our response to a healthier one, that will change the patterns and opens the door to communication.
Our response is critical, yet can be clear with help. If you need more info and help on this, Please contact me.

Silent Little Miracles
For Christmas, I was given a book entitled "When God Winks at You - How God speaks directly to you through the power of Coincidence" by Squire Rushnell. He is a former television president and CEO. He was an executive with ABC for over 20 years. He shares real-life stories of others, famous and not so well known, of "silent little miracles in their lives which he calls godwinks. These are messages of assurance that no matter what is happening in your life or how uncertain things may seem at the moment, God is with you and will help you move toward certainty. Stories are broken into chapter headings that indicate that Godwinks are personal, offer hope and reassurance, helps us through changes/transitions, and may include answered and unanswered prayers. The stories are a quick easy read and can uplift you if you are down. In recovery there several books, that are inspirational thoughts for the day. Here is another possibility and you can read one story each day.

Plan To Be Surprised!
This weekend I watched the movie "Dan in Real Life" that came out a couple of years ago. At the end of the movie. Dan who is a "Dear Abby" type newspaper columnist states something like: Instead of asking your children about their life plans, perhaps it is better to tell them to Plan to be Surprised! I thought about the wisdom in that statement. I am learning to enjoy being surprised by life and to be more willing to be more flexible and "go with the flow." Often we can be black and white in our thoughts and actions. Sometimes, it may help to ask myself the question, would I rather be right than be happy? This may also lead to wanting to control others, situations, events, etc. If I let go of the outcome, and be open to life's surprises, it may be even better than I could have imagined. Have you experienced this?

"If you want what you've never had, You must do what you've never done."
04/27/10
Living is not just going through the motions, on autopilot, and waking up finding that the days have slipped away. Living is slowing the pace and feeling each breath. We often speed through the day not realizing the cost. We slowly give away moments and fill our days with activities, then finally collapse with fatigue and frustration. The life we want is within our control, it is a choice, we can choose to slow the pace and relieve the pressure. Yet we feel we don't have control due to the outside pressures, relationships, obligations and commitments. This over connection is a burden and can cause resentment and pain. There is a balance that can be attained by anchoring to our core values and understanding the purpose of the roles we play. Our life is a gift, not only to ourselves, but to others. The amount of influence we have is based upon the relationship we have with ourselves. Living and breathing is the only thing we are required to do to experience this life.

Expressing Our Feelings
04/25/10
Freedom to express our feeling is a continual need and is an important part of growth. Our ability to express what we feel is a building block of any relationship. If this need is abandoned or neglected, we cut off a key part of moving forward. Most fear the repercussions or loss of people if feelings are openly shared, others are "brutally honest" and offend the listener, both are fear based and cause a lack of communication. There is a balance that can be achieved and is necessary in learning to be expressive. It is relevant and timely to learn the skills now to promote growth.

Seeing The Truth
04/23/10
Our emotional state affects how we perceive the world around us. We have the ability to feel how we want, therefore we can choose the way we see the world by controlling our emotions. The vision of our daily lives is like looking through a water bottle, no mater how we move the bottle it produces a different and distorted views. We never truly see fully or clearly what we are looking at, we my catch a glimpse of reality, but there will always be distortion. What is affecting our view and is controlling what we see is the ever present emotional state of our being, this state is driven by discipline or lack of disciplined of our thoughts. We have the ability to think, ponder, reason, and debate. We problem solve, internalize, visualize, and even dream, all with out much effort. How we discipline these process will impact how we feel and lead to our interpretation of our world. Seeing the truth is a challenge, but it is within our ability and reach. It just takes effort and discipline.
