We have between 12,000 - 50,000 thoughts per day and the energy behind our thoughts has a profound effect on our bio-psycho-social reality. Conscious thoughts and deep rooted beliefs help create realities in the physical world. At Life Dr. we focus on what is and what's positive! Quantum physics - attempting to explain the unexplainable; the collective unconscious, neuro-science, neuro-chemistry and our neurological system. Let's celebrate our miraculous brain.
Physical Life & the Body
An exploration of home: our amazing body and it's systems. How it works and what it needs. Inner & outer. Our physical environments. What we do in the world ...our actions vs. our intentions and aligning the two. A balance of what we want vs. what we need. Everything tangible. How 'dis-ease' impacts our body causing illness and discomfort. Spotlight on self-care and physically manifesting what we want inside and out!
Life on the Spiritual Level
When we explore the deeper connection between our internal and external environments, we become more conscious of our own power, our personal responsibility and how our lives are improved by acting with intention. Karma, conscious living, and the bond to spirit, the collective unconscious and a higher power. It's an energy and it's POSITIVE!
Life on the Emotional Level
There is a lot of confusion about the difference between our feelings (happy, sad, fearful, angry), and our emotions. Feelings are more universally felt in nature and circumstance, while our emotions are an expression of the personality and what we put out in the world. Emotions are the tension between our inside world and the outside world. They're our 'reactions' towards someone or something, and usually involve our ego.
Exploring our Emotional Life means tuning in to how we are feeling: inside ourselves, within our different environments, as well as with the people we choose to have in our lives. Our commitment to activities and behaviors that provide: a sense of accomplishment, creative outlet, or some sense of purpose or support, enhances our well-being and the well-being of others.
Relationships
The dynamics of a healthy relationship begin with you! When we feel comfortable with who we are, know our value and that we're worthy of love, we love and value others. Let's explore personal, family and professional relationships. What it means to 'trust'. Heart-centered, authentic communication. Needs, boundaries and the importance of listening. Sex vs. sensuality. Inner & outer relationships with ourselves, the global community, and to things, like money.

Healthy Living
A healthy life is a life in balance and so much more than exercising, eating & sleeping well. Let's explore the connection between our internal and external environments and consciously create a life of passion & purpose. We can learn to be our best-selves and live our best-lives at home, with friends & family, at work and on a global level. It's possible to feel nourished by environments that feel good to us, and to experience health, wellness and abundance in every area of your life. Let's explore healthy living from the inside-out!

Life-Tips and Quotes
My personal Life-Tips and Quotes all in one place! What are some of your favorites? Here is one of mineby someone who has inspired me:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
~ Marianne Williamson - A Return to Love

LIFE-TIP:"Whenever you notice yourself having a Negative thought - imagine that you have a big eraser and literally erase it (in your minds eye) ...then immediately replace it with something Positive! The more you practice this - the better you will feel and the more attractive you will be!"
"A smile is an inexpensive way to change your looks" ~ Charles Gordy ;)
Smiling is powerful! ...when you look at someone or see something that pleases you - practice smiling. It's not only contagious, the physical act helps your brain release chemicals that make you feel better instantly. Try it when you're feeling down, force yourself to smile and you'll notice changes in your thought patterns as well as your emotions.
Taoists believe that holding a smile on your face and directing it inwards to your organs and your inner body helps you heal. It's key to good health and longevity. It's a simple way to help calm your mind.
Give it a try when your not feeling your best and you'll help brighten someone else's day at the same time. Smiling is an act of service and an inexpensive gift you can give to help change the world.

If you yearn for a quieter, more peaceful era, it's not necessarily that you're looking at the past
Have you ever been depressed to the point that it was difficult to function throughout the day? How long did you feel that way? Depression is a growing problem in the United States and a leading cause of disability. It affects approximately 14.8 million American adults– over the age of 18. The diagnosis is a label that represents the following symptoms:
feeling depressed most of the time
a loss of interest in activities you would normally find pleasurable
feeling sad, irritable, worthless, hopeless and helpless
obvious changes in sleeping and eating habits
lack of interest in sexual intimacy
difficulty concentrating, thinking clearly, and making decisions
thoughts of suicide and sometimes acting on it
The duration and severity of symptoms vary with every individual and their particular level of illness.
How do you think that being kind to others serves YOU? Let's count the ways with David R. Hamilton, PHD Author, 'How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body' and 'Why Kindness Is Good for You.'
"If you haven't any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble." --Bob Hope
When we think of side effects, the first thing that springs to mind are the side effects of drugs. But who'd have thought that kindness could have side effects, too?
