1. Energy Tips For Overwhelm
===============================

You should see me right now. . . . . .

I've got clothes all over the place because I'm
still sorting through winter and summer stuff. . .

. . .suitcases I just pulled out of the garage that need
to be wiped down (with Thieves!) because I'm on my
way to Young Living convention,

. . .piles of paperwork and bills on my desk to sort through
before I go away,

. . .a frig full of veggies half recently bought and half a week
old that I have to sort through,

. . .a shopping list that goes on and on and the purchases must
be made today. . .

(I'm sure this is mild compared to many of your situations, but
it's enough to put me into overwhelm!)

It's overwhelm and its common.

The scary thing is overwhelm is becoming our norm. It's like
we've unconsciously re-calibrated our personal operating
equipment to accept that this is a normal value and it is okay.

Well, it's not normal. And it's not okay. Our health is at stake.

People handle overwhelm differently.

Some people get frantic and run around in circles trying to do
everything at once and end up hardly getting anything done.
Although this may look like high energy, it actually de-energizes
and depletes the bodily system.

Some people get a semi-paralysis where they can't move on what
they want to do, and end up procrastinating or not doing anything
at all. This too is very de-energizing.

I can relate to both of these scenarios.

After being so tired for so long of being de-energized from
overwhelm, I came up with these "simple solutions for self-care
at home" to deal with the overwhelm. They really work for me,
and I hope they will work for you too:

--Brain Dump

--Do a brain dump on paper by making a list of everything
that you need to do, prioritize it, and lay the list out
in front of you on a clear surface in your office, den,
kitchen, or where you mostly work on projects

--Brown Rice

--Okay, this might sound silly but it makes perfect sense to
me and it works really well. . . and, if you are a
"sensitive" like I am - to people, food, energy, etc, then I
bet this will work for you.

Brown rice is the most balancing food there is. When we eat
food that is balancing, then we become balanced.

Make yourself some brown rice (high quality and organic if
possible) and eat it as a snack or with a meal

--Bancha Tea

--Another balancing food to put in our body. This is also
known as "twig tea" or "kukicha" tea. Great to have with
your brown rice.

--Think About What Excites You

--We change our energy when we change our thoughts. Overwhelm
always seems to be more bearable when we have something
exciting to look forward to pull us through. Thinking
about what excites you will "energize" you and your thoughts.

--Ningxia Red Juice

This is the most incredible delicious nutritious high
antioxidant juice - truly the best on the juice market.
The wolfberries in this juice are from the Ningxia region in
China - a very special place irrigated by the Yellow River -
This place has better energy than any other place that grows
wolfberries.

But check it out for yourself! Start by comparing the label
to other juice labels that have apple, pear, grape juices in
them as filler (cheap and high glycemic). Ningxia Red has
pomegranate, apricot nectar, dark grapes with the skin, not
to mention the essential oils and the delicious agave. Very LOW
GLYCEMIC.


--Valor on feet

This is powerful. Valor essential oil blend is extremely
grounding, balancing, centering and brings you to the
present moment. It's as simple as pouring a few drops out of
the bottle onto your hands and rubbing it on the bottom of
your feet.

If you have never done this I say to you "don't take my
word for this - try it yourself and you will see!"

--Peace and Calming on wrists

Another little what I like to call magical technique to pull
us out of overwhelm and allow us to calmly deal with what
is presently at hand.

This blend is a favorite for hyperactive children and anxious
pets and those of us who take care of them!

--Diffuse Christmas Spirit and Orange

I know, you are saying. . . it's not Christmas! it is
summer! But yes, I diffuse Christmas Spirit all year long
and it doesn't steal that holiday spirit away from the winter
one bit! A fabulous combo is C.S. with orange essential oil.

2. Essential Oil Tip: Masking Tape Stickiness
=================================================

Ugh. I ran an extension cord in my laundry room to my garage and
I taped down the cord with masking tape so no one would trip.

When I pulled up the tape there was still stickiness on the
floor. I couldn't understand that because the tape had only been
there for one day. Nevertheless I needed to get that stickiness
up from the floor.

3. Success Tip: Michael Gerber
====================================

"The difference between great people and everyone else is that
great people create their lives actively, while everyone else is
created by their lives, passively waiting to see where life takes
them next. The difference between the two is the difference
between living fully and just existing."

Michael Gerber Think & Grow Rich

5. HSL's Joke or Cute Quote of the Week
=========================================

Bad Day for Max Factor

Cosmetics heir and fugitive rapist Andrew Luster,
great-grandson of makeup legend Max Factor,
was captured in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico yesterday
by a bounty hunter.

Luster had jumped a $1 million bail and fled the US during his
trial for drugging and then raping three women. He was sentenced
to 124 years in prison, a sentence he began serving today.

The rest of the Factor family was said to be in hiding,
avoiding all contact with the press, deeply embarrassed
by having such a bad heir day.
