Breaking News! About Breaking News!

Maggie Holbik, CLC, CHN, NNCP

Breaking News!

How many times in a day do we hear this? Breaking News…?

Do you know what ‘breaking news’ does to you? It breaks you. It breaks us!

One of the things that we can do for our health and for our peace of mind is to stop watching ‘Breaking News’!

I look at the time I have left on earth as a bank of time with deficits and deposits. When I watch or witness something that produces fear or anxiety in me, it is a deficit. And as with all time deficits, I can never get the time back. So not only do I lose precious time by watching fearful things, I take away from my time bank a time that could have been filled with JOY or healing or anything positive that would enhance my life!

For me personally, I have become very selective in where and with whom I spend my time. In each and every moment of my life, I want to ensure that I am adding to and enhancing to the gift of my life.

Once you start to become more conscious of your decisions moment by moment, it becomes easier and more clear to you what is important to YOU!

I hope that you too get selective as to what you use your time bank to focus on and that you also get crystal clear on what is important to you for your peace of mind and well-being.

Have a great day everyone and Happy Easter to those reading this right about now. 🙂

Stress, Trust, Your Amazing Life

And So It Is…. Handling Dilemmas

Maggie Holbik, CLC, CHN, NNCP

“When faced with a dilemma, take a moment to sit with the issue. Don’t rush to decide what to do. Intend to let Divine inspiration flow to you, and it will be so.”

Christiane Northrup, M.D.

We All Face Challenges & Dilemmas

Let’s face it, we all have to face challenges and dilemmas in our lives.

I have learned that the less that I ‘push through’ but more so that I allow things to flow toward a solution, the easier I handle dilemmas. Just like a river flows over and around debris and obstacles, so it is for us in the earthly world as spiritual beings.

Trust is one of my favorite words and forces. I trust that things will work out and that solutions to dilemmas will present themselves. And when I trust and I believe this to be true, it happens. 🙂

I use TRUST as a verb and I expect good outcomes. This is what creates the natural flow to solutions.

So the magic formula is to drop resistance or another way to say this is to stop arguing with what is.

Next is to use trust as a verb and trust that things will work out and that solutions will present themselves.

And lastly, believe. Believe that things are always working out for your highest good because when you believe it, it is true for you. Very simple.

And never forget that life really is this:

“It’s all make- believe“

So with that said, I for one, make-believe in my story that things work out for me. I use MAKE-BELIEVE as a verb also. 🙂 Something to think about.

Have a great day everyone!

Your Amazing Life

Take Time For Coziness

Maggie Holbik, CLC, CHN, NNCP

Cozy = giving a feeling of comfort, warmth, and relaxation

Sounds good doesn’t it?

Taking time to be cozy is more than just enJOYable, it is very good for your health.

Anytime that you can calm the mind and rest the body, you are doing wonders for your health.

Being cozy helps to soothe the soul, ease the stress on the adrenal glands (fight or flight is turned off), calms the mind, lets the body rest, and so much more.

But do we really need an excuse to be cozy? No!

I hope that you take time to make coziness a priority.

Ideas For Coziness

. use a heating pad anytime of the day (I have one on my body right now)

. a hot cup of tea or cocoa

. a soft comfy blanket

. a fire or even a video of a crackling fire

. candles

. beautiful smells like cinnamon and spices that warm the heart and soul (make sure these are not toxic scents but natural)

. a good book

. a nap

. a kiss on the cheek

. what are your favorite cozy ideas?

I’d love to hear them! And I hope you have many cozy moments in your life my friends… many … many…. with more to come.

Your Amazing Life

Say YES. It’s Good For Your Health

Maggie Holbik, CLC, CHN, NNCP

The word yes written in the sand.

Most people are so busy with their everyday life that they don’t make time to get out of their comfort zone and do something different.

When was the last time you tried something new or challenging?

Be open to new experiences, start saying yes to yourself, and choose to do things that feel good.

Say Yes to Life. Say Yes to Love. Say Yes to Adventure. Say Yes to YOU!

Aloe Vera, Your Amazing Life

Aloe Vera – Amazing For Summer!

Maggie Holbik, CLC, CHN, NNCP
My huge Aloe Vera Plant

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is an amazing plant for healing and nutrition. I am grateful to have this huge aloe vera plant that has recently given me 4 babies or pups as they are called. The babies are bigger than most aloe plants that I have seen in the past lol. You can see the one pup that I have left in the pot with its Mom.

Aloe is good for both internal use and external and you can find a lot of information on the internet about it and ways to use it.

With summer here in these parts of the world, if you don’t have an aloe plant handy for using you might want an alternative. I love this aloe vera gel for having on hand for things like sunburns, fly bites and even swimmer’s itch, which we get sometimes here in my neck of the woods.

Here is the link for the gel and if you are interested in getting some for your summer tool kit, I would love to give you a discount. Use 15OFFMA and you will get 15% off.

I hope you are as excited about the summer coming soon as I am. EnJOY!

Anxiety, Health TidBits, Life Coaching, Your Amazing Life

A Simple Exercise to Help With Anxiety

Maggie Holbik, CLC, CHN, NNCP

“Compassion for myself is the most powerful healer of them all.”

Theodore Isaac Rubin

We are in a time of transition. I believe it can be a positive transition and I believe we will be in a better place when we arrive at the other side of this trying time. But some of us might need some help to bridge this transition. Compassion can help when fears are high and anxiety runs wild.

Can you maybe find one aspect or one area of your life that you can feel compassion for yourself? Perhaps you are having more anxiety than normal right now. Can you talk to yourself with compassion and reassure the vulnerable you that things will be okay?

Having compassion for yourself, especially at this time, is hugely powerful. Even if you can only muster up a small amount, it will do great amounts of good.

Talk to Your Inner Child

Sometimes it is helpful to talk to yourself as though you are 5 or 10 years old. For example you could say something like “Suzy, I know you are scared, but I am here looking out for you and we will get through this.” Or “Joe, we’ve been through a lot but we have always survived and become better because of it, and this is no different. I’ve got your back Buddy”.

Remember to have compassion for yourself and even if you think this exercise is goofy, just try it. I promise it will make you smile and help you. 🙂

I am sending Love and Compassion to all of you who are reading this right now. And I am also thinking of doing some Zoom Video Sessions to help people with using this transition time to actually find JOY in their life and to lighten their loads when it comes to fear and anxiety. I will keep everyone posted on those, but in the meantime more compassion is in order! 🙂
