Love Living Life with PTSD, Anxiety, or ADHD
Are you trying to Live after Trauma?
Or are you living with someone suffering after Trauma?
I have been there, doing that!
Life is a challenging difficult journey, with lots of emotions for everyone to deal with along the way. I continued to have faith that we will survive & thrive, dealing with life's daily events, through the downs and ups, and come to a happy, healthy, and loving place.
Things to do for you
1. Take care of yourself, No matter what!
2. Take care of your basic health by doing the simplest things like brushing your teeth, washing your face...
3. Exercise or movement
4. Spend time with yourself-self love
5. Acknowledge your thoughts - is it true or
has it just always been like that, Is it from society, parents, or school?
Or an idea you began to believe because of life events, look at it, is it really true?
Question - Does this thought serve your best interests? Does it match your inner being? Emotions are the result of conflict with your inner being.
6. Use Calming techniques; breathing, triple warmer smoothie, inhaling or applying a pure essential oil, having a raindrop massage, tracing infinity 8's, running your meridians
Your thoughts matter!

STEPS TO Happiness
1. Whether we realize it or not, our thoughts have a powerful influence on our lives. While I understand that you didn't plan for any trauma, accident, or disease to occur, it's important to recognize that sometimes things happen that are beyond our control. However, what truly matters is how we choose to respond to these circumstances and what we choose to think about them.
I want to emphasize that it's not always an easy process, but it's worth it. It requires a level of awareness and effort to evaluate our thoughts. Sometimes, the thoughts we hold onto may not even be true, but we continue to believe them. It's up to us to challenge these beliefs and determine whether they align with our purpose and values.
You have the power to decide whether to continue entertaining negative thoughts or to replace them with something that uplifts you and aligns with the real you. Every small step towards positive thinking has the potential to create a profound impact on your overall well-being.
2. List, discover, and think about … all the things that put a smile on your face! Write them down, have pictures, do it, and see it in your mind's eye.
3. Surround yourself with things that make you smile. Each person's list is unique to them and do not listen to or hear others' judgment.
4. Become aware of your words and thoughts - ditch & switch

Benefits of a massage
Massage is my first go-to when emotions or pain are a problem. The energy in your hands is magical, then add oil, and love amazing things will happen. I have seen it happen often. You can experience it too!
An amazingly gratifying experience!
Couples massage
Facial massage
Head massage
Ear massage
Foot massage
Hand massage
There are so many ways to give or receive a massage. Start with what you have and know.
You always have your hands, so start there.
I am a believer in essential oils, they have healing properties that benefit the body. They come from plants and work well in all body systems. They are especially helpful with emotions as by simply smelling an aroma, the molecules go directly through your olfactory system ( smelling) to your limbic system which controls emotions. When applied to your skin, the oils are absorbed and distributed through your body in moments, being utilized where needed. So cool! Remember the same is true about synthetic and fragranced produces, their harm quietly spreads quickly too.
