Valuing Yourself
At the core of many of our problems is a simple lack of self worth. Think about it. If something is not working in your life, what is really at the core of it? Many of us do not value ourselves. We may or may not see the good in ourselves. We may judge ourselves for the parts we deem as less valuable or desirable. We can even project our lack of self-worth on to others and negatively judge them. If, something or someone (a relationship) is not working the way you want it to, it’s possible that this is a reflection of how you feel about yourself. How…

What is it You Most Desire?
It is the New Year – Happy 2012 to you! It is customary to reflect back on our lives while creating resolutions, intentions, or goals for ourselves, to make our lives better in the new year. What is it You Most Desire? Do you want to improve your physique? Do you want to have better relationships? Do you want a more satisfying job? Many of us will set goals of what it is we think we want in our lives. Some of them realistic, and some perhaps more challenging to attain. I believe we all want to be free from suffering.

Preparing for the Holidays
We have enjoyed a warmer than usual Fall Season here in Minnesota. The garden is mostly put to bed for the winter, but there are still some carrots, beets, chard, and kale awaiting picking, and a few snap dragons sharing their delight. Daylight savings and the calendar on the wall tell me that Thanksgiving is coming up quickly and Christmas is just around the corner. So, we need to plan the meals, decide who’s coming and going where… and then there are the gifts. Do I make them, buy them, or offer a talent or service? I have started making my husband a scarf. I’m still finishing a blanket…

In All Seriousness…
Lately I’ve been noticing how serious the world has become, how serious I have become. There are serious issues to pay attention to. Aren’t there? There is famine, earthquakes, hurricanes, depletion of the environment – the world, not to mention what’s happening to my friends, my family, to me. So, I practice my Yoga. Yoga is serious business. We must do the postures, breathe properly… and get off our butts initially to do it. We must brush our teeth, the dishes need to be washed, children to be taken care of, our inner child needs attention, our parents need our love. We must be nice to ourselves and to…

What is Holistic Occupational Therapy?
First, Occupational Therapy is a form of therapy that helps people with what ‘occupies’ their time. This covers every aspect of a person’s life, from the cradle to the grave. It includes activities of daily living such as sleeping, eating, cooking, working, playing, relationships, and spirituality.
