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. πŸ™‚

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! πŸ™‚

The Power of Emotional Support β€” MaggieHolbik.com

Maggie Holbik, CLC, CHN, NNCP

It has come to me lately, that there are 3 kinds of exhaustion we experience. One is physical, one is mental, and the third is emotional, which to me is the most draining of the three. Emotions can also be defined as energy-in-motion. Sometimes we have all three of these types of exhaustion happening atΒ [Read More in Blue Link to Full Article…]

A Mountain Ash Tree Loaded with Luscious Berries – Beautiful Red Color

I snapped this picture the other day with my phone. I thought it was a nice one. This is the City of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, in the background.

These berries look so beautiful. I did a little Googling about the mountain ash tree. I never realized the amazing health benefits of the berries. Here is a link to more info: https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-571/mountain-ash but in a nutshell:

Mountain AshΒ is a plant. People use theΒ berriesΒ to make medicine. The berriesΒ may be used fresh, dried, or cooked and then dried. People takeΒ mountain ashΒ for treating kidney disease, diabetes, arthritis, low levels of vitamin C (vitamin C deficiency), diarrhea, and menstrual problems.

I for one am going to get me some of these berries. The birds know how good these are.

I hope you enJOYed my picture today and also learning, if you did not know, how amazing mountain ash berries are!

Dreams, Happiness, Manifesting, Visualizing, Your Amazing Life

Using Dreams as a Tool for Manifesting Your Life’s Dreams!

Maggie Holbik, CLC, CHN, NNCP

Early this morning I had a bad dream… one of those really bad dreams. I won’t go into details but it was ‘so real’. In my dream my husband had died in a fire in a big building and I thought my daughter had too but she came out. Anyhow while telling my daughter and hubby about the dream, I wept and wept because it was ‘so real’.

My daughter then shared with me about a dream that she had that she will never forget and that had scared her because it was ‘so real’. She started to weep too!

I shared with her an exercise that I use with my coaching clients about using that same emotional power from a dream that seems ‘so real’ for manifesting what we want in life.

For manifesting, we(man) are the main component in creating the manifestation or what we want to create. We need to first visualize/see what we want to happen, or to achieve, or to acquire in our life and then we need to FEEL as though we are already there experiencing that which we wish to create.

It’s just like the dream! The dream ‘feels real’ because you are FEELING the feelings of this event actually occurring. This is a huge big deal. Really think on this. A dream IS real as it is a manifestation of a concept. The key to future manifesting is to first dream up the concept, SEE it, and put the feeling behind it as though it were already real and than detach from the HOW’s of how it will happen and then let the invisible forces go to work to create your manifestation.

This stuff really works. I have seen it happen over and over again in my life and it always seems like a delightful surprise but I know that I created it! And I am getting really really good at this. This works like magic folks. πŸ™‚

I believe in this so much, today I am sharing this same blog post on all of my blogs! πŸ™‚

Have a great day everyone!

Love – A Prescription for Healing

Maggie Holbik, CLC, CHN, NNCP

Love is the medicine for the sickness of the world; a prescription often given too rarely taken.

dr. karl menninger

One of the most healing and supportive therapies for anyone or for any condition is LOVE! And it works any way you use it… giving or receiving it. πŸ™‚ It’s a beautiful thing really.

Try to actively add more LOVE into your life. You can love up your kids, your pets, your spouse or even a stranger. Show kindness, smile often and just … give LOVE….

Color Therapy, Pink, Your Amazing Life

Pink for Transformation & JOY!

Maggie Holbik, CLC, CHN, NNCP

Our reactions toΒ colors are often deeply rooted and can be significant when we are intuitively connected to how colors makes us ‘feel’.

A certainΒ color has the ability to ease your frazzled nerves, motivate and empower you to take action, and also to bringΒ healing and soothingΒ energy when you need it.

Pink is my favorite color. Well at least it was for most of my life. Now I am enJOYing purple a lot more. Many years ago I tapped into the power of color and how it made me feel. I am quite in sync with using colors in my life to lift my spirits and to shift my frequency and to also heal areas that need healing.

Today is about pink though. They say pink is the color of JOY and universal mother love and I believe this to be true. When you need more JOY in your life or you are trying to transform a negative situation to one that is more loving, try adding pink into your life. I recently went to a friend’s birthday party and they had pink cups, plates, decorations, etc. and my heart lifted and smiled as soon as I arrived and saw them.

Pink is a gentle and JOYous color. Pink is also a transformational color. It can transmute dark and heavy vibrations and feelings,and provide a motherly, soothing, energy to a situation.

I have many ways that I use color in my life and work. Here is one example. As I write this blog post, here are today’s tools ….my pens. Today there are pink and purple pens. Some days there are silver, turquoise or lavender or all of the above. πŸ™‚ My pens and their colors help me to create. They are a part of the artist in me and I see them as magical enhancements to my life’s work. πŸ™‚

I hope you look at colors in a whole new light and that you use them to bring you JOY, to transform, to heal, and to create beauty in your life.
