According to research with 7-8 year olds, children form relationships with all pets, but the most significant relationships are with cats and dogs.

Cats usually provide comfort if a child is ill in bed. Dogs usually support the child in frightening situations and act as playmates and confidantes for special secrets. Children consider some pet relationships more significant than relationships with aunts, uncles, and grandparents ….  :)

All change begins with awareness. Stress resiliency and stress hardiness can be learned, even in adult age. Stress hardiness is a combination of courage and coping strategies that take stressful life situations and turn them into opportunities for personal growth. Courage grows out of fear and is considered to be a natural part of mature adult development, together with humility, acceptance of surprise, and self-exploration.

There will always be uncertainty in life, and coping and  personal growth require future oriented decision making ability, hopefulness, and commitment to fulfillment, purpose, and meaning. This can be learned, and the uncertainty can evolve from being a source of stress to becoming a source of genuine excitement, depending on the degree of awareness and desire for continuous growth, willingness to take risks, and ability to handle success. Yes, success!

If the old and outdated patterns of thinking, feeling, and reacting weigh you down and you are genuinely interested and ready to make a positive change, I would love to help you. Together we design your individual path to well-being, drawing upon your own source of wisdom, purpose, and meaning. Take the first step…

Commit to your well-being.

How many people did you hear today complain about being stressed out, feeling overwhelmed, under pressure, unable to cope, anxious, unable to sleep, tense, scattered, tired, forgetful, and unable to concentrate? These are all symptoms of unmanaged stress.

The good news is that our bodies have an incredible capacity for self-defense and self-healing. To ensure survival, the body has developed a system of hormonal defense against stressors. However, without proactive management and some form of natural coping strategy, the persistent stress and severe and traumatic life events put too much strain on the system and the inner defense mechanisms begin to break down, causing physical, psychological, and physiological imbalance. If other risk factors are in place, the body and mind begin to develop an illness. Stress and anxiety have been linked to cardiovascular disease, cancer, and infectious diseases.
