Creating Vibrant Health and Overcoming Fatigue: The Importance of Letting Go

I received an email recently reminding me of a poem that was on my website years ago when I first put up the site.  With all the restructure over the years, somehow the page became unlinked and unformatted!  This poem was described as “a help to those in pain and suffering loss or other trauma; and it brings a spiritual aspect into the grief process.”  As a result, I decided that it needed to be shared.  Thanks CG!

In the process of healing, recovering your health, moving from where you are towards vibrant health and vitality, letting go is often required.  Letting go of old beliefs is often vital to the healing process.  Letting go of controlling the outcome, the rate of recovery and the stages you go through is important too.  I believe you’ll enjoy this as CG did and I encourage you to share it with your loved ones.

Letting Go

• To let go does not mean to stop caring, it means I can’t do it for someone else.
• To let go is not to cut myself off, it is the realization that I cannot control another.
• To let go is not to do for others, but to allow learning from natural consequences.
• To let go is to admit some powerlessness and to recognize that the outcome is not in my hands alone.
• To let go is not to try to change or blame another, it is to make the most of myself.
• To let go is not to care for, but to care about.
• To let go is not to fix but to be supportive.
• To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to effect their own destinies.
• To let go is not to be protective, it is to permit another to face reality.
• To let go is not to deny, but to accept.
• To let go is not to nag, scold, or argue, but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.
• To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes, and cherish myself in it.
• To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future.
• To let go is to fear less and love more.

Stress Management for Adrenal Fatigue and Hormone Imbalance

Do you have techniques in place for management of chronic stress, or does your stress manage you?

Are you like I used to be…a stress bunny…always feeling overwhelmed and worrying about this or that?

I have an active mind and I’m always juggling many projects along with my own health rituals.  I learned over 2 decades ago how food adds to the stress burden and I healed myself from chronic fatigue, digestive disorders, chronic sinusitis and debilitating headaches by conquering my stress demons.  My personal demons were related to food and attitude.  Do you know what yours are?

Adopting a plant based mostly raw high green diet, regular detoxification and learning the the attitude of gratitude allowed me to escape the grip of my stress demons and become the healthy, vibrant, energetic and happy person I am today.

Just last week, I was interviewed for the telesummit, “20 Fun, Easy & Effective Ways to Reduce & Manage Stress” and I shared my strategies for transforming stress using cleansing, detoxification and the art of appreciation.  It will be aired on Sunday July 25,  I’m sharing the stage with 19 other top self help professionals, including Dr. Bernie Siegel, best selling author of “Love, Medicine and Miracles”.

I’m really excited about it because all of the life changing talks are at NO COST to you.  Take a look at the lineup and I’m sure you’ll agree that it’s worth the time investment.  You can pick and choose the events you’d like to hear.  Each day between today and next Monday, there will be 3 talks aired and you’ll have 24 hours to listen for free.

There are 3 fabulous meditation digital audios  given away as free bonuses when you signup for the free Stress Reduction Summit. You can play these  in the background while you work to reduce stress.  It’s a great way to reduce adrenal fatigue.

It’s amazzing how quickly you can restore your energy by addressing your own stress demons.  I am so excited to be part of the Premier Stress Summit and the gifted authors and healers who are donating their time to sharing their strategies.My interview was filled with valuable tips and I know the others will be too. Conquering the stress demons is a critical part of getting your hormones and neurotransmitters balanced so you can live your life joyfully, youthfully and full of energy.

Love, Health and Joy to you,
