\"Love<\/a><\/p>\n

The human immune system is a fast responder. \u00a0It knows immediately when\/if we are having emotional or spiritual problems. \u00a0And, of course, this response affects our health.<\/p>\n

If wellness is important to you…and I think it is because you’re a reflexologist, then one of the best things you can do is pamper your immune system. \u00a0This works for your client partners also. \u00a0No one is exempt on this.<\/p>\n

This we know: \u00a0there is a direct correlation between negative emotions, disease, and accelerated aging. \u00a0Appreciation, sympathy, understanding are important to all of us.<\/p>\n

Inner peace is important to being well – being grounded.<\/p>\n

One thing in life which promotes inner peace and groundedness is an appreciation for nature and seeing the connection that all living beings share.<\/p>\n

There are several ways to promote this connectedness:<\/p>\n

WALK IN THE PARK. \u00a0 Actually, a “walk in the park” is the generic term for any activity which gets you positively involved with nature \u00a0That can include biking, hiking, museum going, or anything else which makes you aware of how connected we all are.<\/p>\n

GET A PET. \u00a0 This is a biggie if you can do it. \u00a0Not everyone lives where pets are allowed. \u00a0But, if you can…a dog or cat is awesome. \u00a0Pets offer something which humans seem to be unable to offer: \u00a0unconditional love.<\/p>\n

A pet will:<\/p>\n

improve your immune system function,<\/p>\n

give you a more positive outlook on life,<\/p>\n

lower your blood pressure<\/p>\n

love you unconditionally.<\/p>\n

What more can you ask for?<\/p>\n

KEEP A JOURNAL. \u00a0 \u00a0For some this can be a challenge. \u00a0But, this journal is not for anyone but yourself. \u00a0So, don’t worry about the spelling, punctuation, paragraphs, etc.<\/p>\n

The purpose of your \u00a0journal is to make a note of special moments which sustain you when you’re feeling low. \u00a0Such moments include:<\/p>\n

a cat’s purr<\/p>\n

a baby’s smile<\/p>\n

a smell of a flower<\/p>\n

a compliment<\/p>\n

a smile from a stranger<\/p>\n

When you record them, you may notice that these special moments occur more often than you thought.<\/p>\n

BREATHE. \u00a0This is a biggie. \u00a0Breathe in while while mentally repeating a positive phrase such as “I bring positive energy into my life.” \u00a0Hold your breath for a moment and then exhale as you repeat “I radiate positive energy.” \u00a0Consciously breathing for a couple of minutes each day can have a profound impact on your life.<\/p>\n

Many people go through their whole lives not even thinking about how they breathe or what their breath does for them. \u00a0Honor your breath.<\/p>\n

INCORPORATE SURPRISE. \u00a0Try to do something unexpected every day. \u00a0Compliment a total stranger on a haircut or a jacket or something. \u00a0It doesn’t matter what, really. \u00a0Just say something complimentary to someone who is totally not expecting anything.<\/p>\n

Leave a small token for someone who is not expecting anything…and keep it a secret if you can.<\/p>\n

Offer to walk someone’s dog.<\/p>\n

Say “Thank you.”<\/p>\n

GET INVOLVED. \u00a0This can mean walking a dog at the local pound or hosting a food drive for your local food pantry. \u00a0There are many, many groups out there where people are working to make life better for us all. \u00a0Volunteering is an extremely positive way to go through life.<\/p>\n
