Along with bathing and eating your veggies, releasing emotions needs to become part of our daily routines.

Making sweeping statements such as 'no sweets ever again' has never worked before, and it's not going to work now. You'll get quickly overwhelmed and punt on any positive momentum you created.

Being alone in nature is another way to feel the joy of beauty - and oneness with a greater whole.

We have a choice at every moment. We can engage in sadness, anger or fear or we can choose joy, love, and peace.

Whenever we criticize ourselves, we compound the issue.

Your goal should be something that feels really right, not forced. Make sure your goal resonates with what’s true for you.

Releasing the emotional energy and focusing on acceptance dissipates anger and restores balance.
