The employees I have tasked with picking topics for newsletters and blogs chose this topic, Companion Modalities, and made 4 suggestions in their instructions, followed by ‘etc.’ Wow! I believe they just gave this ‘wordy teacher’ permission to have lots of fun! I immediately ‘Googled’ alternative therapies for any ‘modalities’ I might have forgotten! What did I find? I found a great many modalities and healing methods that I have never experienced and know very little about! I can see from this search that the rest of my life will NOT be long enough to learn all that I wish I could find time for!
By the time I got done making a list of things I wanted to discuss with you, the suggestion was made that I divide my proposed topics into two articles instead of one and, perhaps, leave one or two (or more) for another time altogether. So, that is what I have decided to do. For these two articles, I will limit myself (for the most part) to things that we use and love in our home, teach about through Butterfly Expressions, LLC, and remedies that are provided to customers through Butterfly Express, LLC.
This month, instead of a few specific products being available on sale to my Foot Zone Focus readers, Butterfly Express is offering a coupon code for 10% off ALL non-sale items. All you need to do is enter the code FOOTZONEFOCUS when you check out to receive your discount!
Please ponder for a moment what is causing stress in your life. What in your life is ‘stressful’ to you? And, please, consider for a moment that our bodies and our minds are simply not equipped to handle long-term, chronic stress without suffering serious consequences, big and small.
Some people – I wish I were one of them – respond to most situations calmly. They simply handle stress well, with little or no ill effects on their bodies or minds. For these people, stress is not all bad. In small doses and handled properly, stress can even help us accomplish tasks quickly and well.
Can alternative health products such as essential oils, herbal remedies, and Blessed Water/Homeopathic remedies really help us reset our thinking and handle stress more appropriately? I certainly do believe that they can! Some of those remedies are featured in this month’s newsletter. Let’s begin today, however, with a little bit of information about the effects of stress on us physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Why am I taking up time and space to point out to you the long-term effects of stress and to discuss the things that might be stressing each of us out? Because, as I said in the first paragraph, I am hoping you will ponder the stress in your life and take steps to minimize the effects of stress on your health and happiness.
