Transformational Counseling Services for Individuals, Groups and Couples

In journeying on the path to higher consciousness, and creating more honesty and compassion within ourselves and with others, we can begin to see everything that is placed at our doorstep as an opportunity to grow and evolve. Holistic counseling services or psychotherapy does just that.

Counseling helps us to find the important lessons within each experience. Depression, addiction, loss, illnesses, pain, anger, fears, anxiety, inner wounds and traumas provides us with rich gifts as long as we are willing to be life’s students.

Life Is A Practice

I asked a friend what sort of changes she is feeling in herself as she reaches a more mature age.  She sent me the following:

1. After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children and my friends, I have now started loving myself.
2. I have realized that I am not “Atlas”.  The world does not rest on my shoulders.
3. I have stopped bargaining with vegetables and fruit vendors.  A few pennies more is not going to break me, but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees.
4. I leave my waitress a big tip.  The extra money might bring a smile to her face.  She is toiling much harder for a living than I am.
5. I stopped telling the elderly that they’ve already narrated that story many times.  The story makes them walk down memory lane and relive their past.
6. I have learned not to correct people even when I know they are wrong.  The onus of making everyone perfect is not on me.  Peace is more precious than perfection.
7. I give compliments freely and generously.  Compliments are a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me.  And a small tip for the recipient of a compliment, never, NEVER turn it down, just say “Thank You.”
8. I have learned not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt.  Personality speaks louder than appearances.
9. I walk away from people who don’t value me.  They might not know my worth, but I do.
10. I remain cool when someone plays dirty to outrun me in the rat race.  I am not a rat and neither am I in any race.
11. I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions.  It’s my emotions that make me human.
12. I have learned that it’s better to drop the ego than to break a relationship.  My ego will keep me aloof, whereas with relationships, I will never be alone.
13. I have learned to live each day as if it’s the last.  After all, it might be the last.
14. I am doing what makes me happy.  I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to myself.  Happiness is a choice.  You can be happy at any time, just choose to be!

Wise words to practice at any age.  Life is a practice!
