Healing from the Inside Out Series #2: Mastering Anger
Hi there!
Anger is a strong emotion and can prevent us from seeing ourselves and others clearly and life’s meaning and purpose. Anger can deter us from a life-giving path to a life-draining one.
But nothing masters us unless we allow it to do so. We can experience things without becoming the events in our lives. Daily, we must assess our garden and inner foundation for harmful thoughts (weeds such as anger) that can rob us of our spiritual fruit and an abundant harvest.
I started a new series, Healing from the Inside Out”¦.actually one week ago without knowing it, and I’m excited to share my thoughts on the opposite side of planting seeds. My Healing from the Inside Out series will address chronic emotions that can lead to chronic preventative health conditions. Mastering our emotions and feelings is part of achieving optimal health as we do our life’s work. We must face them and put them in a healthy perspective to have the freedom, joy, and peace we deserve.
As you know, research reveals that many people experience cardiac events on Mondays. We hold onto events and their residual emotions and feelings throughout the week and on weekends. We allow anger, anxiety, fear, guilt, shame, and the like to root themselves in us through our nervous system (our communication systems and the roots of our bodies), giving them full access to our cells. When we don’t feel good about ourselves or our lives, we extract joy from our heart, the center of our garden. In addition, our emotional state often leads to other unhealthy behaviors, putting us at risk for chronic preventative behaviors, including heart disease.
But we don’t have to struggle with our health. We can take a deep dive into our garden daily and assess and excavate anything that doesn’t belong. We can remove the hard objects that calcify our hearts and blood vessels. We can provide enough light, love, and other healthy nourishments. We can provide just enough water (truth) and replant our virtuous seeds through our actions and words.
We don’t have to live with consistent anger. We can be free of its grips, but first, we must believe that we deserve to be free from anger. Next, we must face the root of our anger, which often lies in the perception of events. For example, chronic anger may have its roots in unfulfilled expectations. We expect people to treat us a certain way, and when they don’t, we sometimes invite anger to come in and justify our emotional state. Finally, we must let go of the thoughts that keep anger in its place and choose a healthier way to see our experiences. My mother often told her children, “No one owes you anything.” She always encouraged us to pay more attention to actions instead of words, saying, “You are in control of yourself.”

The Seeds We Plant Series #31: Fuel for the Body.
Posted on February 28, 2024 Leave a Comment
Hi there!
Nourishment for the body comes in many forms, including food and drinks, meditation, quality sleep, prayer, physical activity, self-talk, and others. With so much to do, it’s so easy to feel like we don’t have enough time to care for our bodies (the vehicles for our divine message).
Regardless of what we believe about time, our bodies will let us know when rest is needed and when we need to choose better nourishment for our bodies. But we don’t have to wait for our vehicles to break down or receive a preventative health diagnosis. We can prioritize caring for ourselves and intentionally choose life-giving activities instead of life-draining ones.
Every day is a work in progress, and we must believe that the healthy seeds we sew today will bring a wonderful harvest. Some of the activities I intentionally do for my family and myself include:
- Developing a weekly or monthly meal plan. I have specific days for omega-3 foods, grains, no eggs, beans, and healthy substitutions. I include fruits and vegetables, especially green ones, for every meal and sometimes snacks.
- Discussing balance, moderation, and food properties with my children, including my eat some now, save some for a later mantra I borrowed from one of my favorite childhood candies, now and later.
- Keeping a routine bedtime and awake time. The more we stick to our schedules and aim for quality sleep, the more we help our bodies do what they are here to do”Š”””Š-help us fulfill our divine purpose.
- Making time for activities, playtime, and walking. Walking in nature is one of the best activities one can do to clear the mind and move the body at the same time.
- Praying with our children several times a day. We talk about purpose, and I make time for them to do the activities they love.

The Seeds We Plant Series #30: Emotions and Feelings: The Data to Self-Enlightenment
Posted on February 22, 2024 Leave a Comment
Hi there!
Often, we want to run away from our emotions and feelings, such as anger, anxiety, fear, and the like. We deny these emotions and feelings, thinking that they define us. We must be a “bad person.” On the contrary, the growth that creeps up inside us is an opportunity to assess our internal garden. What seeds did we allow to permeate our soil? What fertilizers did we use (e.g., fear, love)? How often did we assess our soil and remove the unhealthy thoughts? Did we permit plenty of light, space, and other nourishing activities?
Listen to The Seeds We Plant Series #30: Emotions and Feelings: The Data to Self-enlightenment on Create a Generational Love Cycle, and let me know your thoughts.
