Focusing Our Energy

Focusing Our Energy

Focused attention on one thing at a time can make the most of our life-force energy and bring about the change we want.

As modern life makes a wealth of information and opportunities available to us, we may find ourselves torn between a wide variety of interests and projects. Our excitement may entice us to try all of them at once, but doing so only diffuses our energy, leaving us unable to fully experience any of them. Like an electrical socket with too many things plugged into it, we may be in danger of overheating and burning out. But if we can choose one thing at a time to focus all of our attention upon, we can make the most of our life-force energy, engaging ourselves fully in the moment so that it can nurture us in return. 

Our attention can be pulled in many directions, not only in our own lives, but by advertising, media, and the hustle and bustle of our surroundings. But when we take the time to listen to our inner guidance and focus our thoughts on the goals that resonate the most strongly within us, the rest of the world will fade away. This may mean focusing the spotlight of our attention upon developing one aspect of our work, one course of study, or one hobby to pursue in our free time, but it doesn't mean that we have to stay focused on only one thing forever. We may never know which of our interests is best suited to our abilities and heart's desires unless we give it a proper chance. By being fully present with all that we are and all that we have, we can experience each choice fully and make the most fulfilling choices for our energetic investments.

Because we are multi-faceted beings, we are perpetually involved in many aspects of life in every moment. Our work in the world is necessary to attend to our physical needs, and our relationships are important for our emotional needs, but when we engage our spirit as well, we can choose the area that will nurture body, mind and soul. Staying focused in each moment allows us move with the rhythmic flow of the universe and harmonize all aspects of our being into balanced whole.

Cancer Horoscope: Unpredictable Mood Fluctuations

Unpredictable Mood Fluctuations

March 29, 2021

Moodiness may have you feeling uneasy today as your emotions fluctuate, most likely in regards to family matters. Since family connections cut to the heart of who we are, it is understandable that under certain circumstances our reactions may be unpredictable. Give yourself permission to feel whatever it is you are feeling, while also allowing yourself the space to feel without having to express it to others. This doesn't mean to hide your feelings but to release the need to justify your emotions. Feelings come from a different place within us, tapping into subconscious connections that can be illogical. When we can accept that today, we allow ourselves to be fully human.

Once you've allowed the tide of emotion to flow freely, you can anchor yourself in the calmness of your center and watch the feelings pass without judgment. From this vantage point, you can examine them using your intuitive wisdom as well as your mental knowledge. It may be that the emotional release is all you needed, but you may also want to reach out to share your thoughts with trusted, supportive family members or friends. If you find you still feel uneasy, you can always turn to a professional whose insight may be able to guide you through the uncharted territory you find yourself unable to navigate alone. As you are a being of body, mind, and spirit, you can allow yourself to fully experience each day while using their combined wisdom to guide you through any challenges that life may bring today.

Interview With Sarah Rector and Jacqui Justice

DailyOM: The tummy, for most people, is a really difficult place to tone and tighten. Why is this, Sarah?

Sarah Rector: I hear this all the time from my new clients, how they struggle to tighten their tummy area. I often see people in the gym doing hundreds of abdominal crunches and not understanding why they are not seeing the changes they want. Your core needs a variety of exercises combined with a wholesome diet if you really want to see real change. An out-of-shape tummy is a result of poor diet and eating habits, as well as a lack of core-focused exercise, which can result in stored fat and excess weight in the tummy area. Sometimes diet is the main problem, especially if there is too much sugar and salt in your diet. I always recommend a healthy eating plan combined with great calorie-burning exercises to increase your heart rate and burn excess fat. This dynamic program of diet and exercise is how you will see real, lasting change in your tummy!

DailyOM: From a nutritional perspective, Jacqui, what do you see as the main cause of a stomach that is bloated?

Jacqui Justice: Stomach bloating is such a common complaint and a source of frustration for so many people due to the discomfort it causes, and let's face it, how it looks. There are actually many nutrition-related reasons why a person might experience bloating, but the good news is, once you figure out the cause, you can easily get rid of it. Bloat factors include excess dietary sodium, not enough fiber in the diet or increasing fiber too quickly, eating too fast or when stressed, and eating too much for the digestive system to handle at one time. But the main causes that I see for bloating are lactose intolerance and gluten intolerance. Dairy and gluten can cause inflammation in the gut resulting in significant bloating and a lot of discomfort. Avoiding these foods generally results in not only the elimination of bloating, but a greater sense of wellness and energy. In this course, we will discuss bloat-free alternatives that students will really enjoy. We will also look at digestively unfriendly foods, like sugar, carbonated beverages, coffee, alcohol, and highly-processed foods, which all cause inflammation in the gut, are hard to digest, and result in bloating for many people. There are also healthy bloat-producing foods, such as cruciferous veggies, legumes, apples, and dried fruits. These foods bypass normal digestion and get fermented by bacteria in the lower intestine, which can lead to gas and bloating. We do not want to completely avoid these healthy foods, and I discuss strategies for eating them without the negative side effects.

DailyOM: Are there other factors that cause bloating?

JJ: Yes, there are. Besides the above, lack of hydration is a common cause of bloating. It may sound crazy, but to rid yourself of bloat (water retention), you have to drink more water. Your body will hold onto excess water if you do not give it what it needs. Plus, if you are even mildly dehydrated, your metabolism can dip seriously. Hydrating properly with water helps to naturally flush your system of excess water, toxins, and sodium that you may be retaining. In addition, drinking more water helps you feel fuller and addresses the false hunger that dehydration can cause, so you end up eating and snacking less. Another important factor that causes bloating is a lack of HCL (hydrochloric acid), an enzyme pumped out by the parietal cells of your stomach to help break down protein. Some people do not have adequate levels and they become gassy and bloated soon after meals. I discuss strategies for fixing this issue as well.

DailyOM: This course has mat work and cardio work. Tell us, Sarah, how you use both of these and why are they both important?

SR: Not only do I love variety, but variety for toning and tightening the tummy is the most effective method. You have to do the calorie-burning cardio exercises to encourage the breakdown of the fat, as well as the toning mat exercises to tighten the muscles and skin after the calorie burning exercises. Sounds like quite a process, but no need to panic! For those who are not cardio fitness enthusiasts, you will be fine. I slowly introduce cardio in Day 3, giving you time to first get comfortable with moving and feeling the muscles in your tummy engage. This is extremely important, so you know how to feel the activation process of working out. Day 3 is a good place to start cardio, as the moves are gentle and alternatives are offered.

DailyOM: What physical changes can a student expect to see after completing this course?

SR: After completing the course the first time around, you will definitely feel your tummy muscles engaged. Also, your strength will have been gradually building. As you continue to practice the workouts, you can expand on them by adding some equipment of your choice, such as light hand weights of either 2, 3, or 5 lbs. and even some light ankle weights. If equipment is not easily accessible to you, you can simply add more reps to an exercise to increase the intensity. These kinds of additions will keep you and your tummy engaged, resulting in a tighter, flatter tummy.

DailyOM: Does the course include any recipes or useful eating strategies?

JJ: Yes! Students are going to learn dietary hacks and strategies for eliminating bloating. They will learn what foods cause bloating and what foods help eliminate it, as well as other factors that can lead to belly bloating and how to troubleshoot them. Each lesson includes at least four flavorful and delicious bloat-free recipes that are related to the subject matter in that lesson. The student will come away from this course with a bloat-free belly, increased energy, and a greater sense of wellness.

How Does It Work?
Starting today, you will receive a new lesson every day for 10 days (total of 10 lessons). Each lesson is yours to keep and you'll be able to refer back to it whenever you want. And if you miss a lesson or are too busy to get to it that day, each lesson will conveniently remain in your account so you won't have to search for it when you're ready to get back to it.

Cancer Horoscope: The Warmth of Home

The Warmth of Home

March 28, 2021

You may be relaxing and enjoying your home today, feeling nourished and comforted by its warm glow and the love of those around you. Our homes are our havens, the places where we keep the people and things that are most precious to us. This includes the safekeeping of our family members and pets, as well as treasured memories of the past and dreams of the future. Because we invest so much of our energy into our homes, it feels like the nurturing embrace of one who cares for us when we enter them. Our homes are reflections of ourselves and the bright and beloved spirits that share the space with us. When we take the time to clean and decorate, we are actually nourishing ourselves and our families. When we enjoy the time spent within its walls, we infuse them with our positive energy that will radiate back out to us. Today our appreciation fills our homes and embraces us and our loved ones.

Even if we live alone, we can experience the joy of being comforted and nourished. We can surround ourselves with photos and memories of loved ones. Our homes can be the receptacles of our wildest dreams that are held lovingly and carefully nourished until they are ready to take flight and be released into the outside world to grow into reality. Our homes should be the places where we feel the safest and most nourished when we are truly and fully ourselves. As we invest our loving energies into our homes today, we create our own sanctuaries.
