4 Restorative Yoga Poses that Help You Relax and Unwind
We all have times when it is hard to relax. You may have a lot on you mind, feel overtired, or just can't seem to get to sleep.

You will reap both the emotional and physical benefits. And, you might actually have fun doing it.

Editing Your Life Story Can Create Happier Endings
This is a great article from National Public Radio about how you can deal with past trauma or current feelings that are troubling you by simply editing your life story through journaling. If you can commit 15 minutes a day for four days, you can do this. The article includes a link with instructions on how to conduct the exercise. This is similar to what I do in therapy sessions when I help my Houston clients who are stuck learn to reframe their views of themselves and their life situations. It is often exactly what my clients need to get un-stuck.
