I will be adding this piece to the store this week. Along with many others. This is going to be a class this spring. The art of mosaics is so stress relieving. We chat, break tiles, create fun art and sometimes solve some problems. Life coaching doesn't have to be all clinical.
"Tree" its as simple as that it's just a tree This was an experiment with mixed media pieces. Beads, buttons, fancy ceramic heart pieces and lots of broken tile and glass. Ready to hang. $25. Shipping would be additional. I would have to measure it but it's around 12x12. #mosaic #recycledart #upcycled #mosaictree.

I have the opportunity to work at a school with children who have special needs. Yesterday the class I worked with were age range 16-18. I4 students and myself discussed calming techniques. We made circles (basically pie shaped, like a balance wheel). Each pie slice we added what calms them down. The entries ranged from. Music, meditation, walking, quiet time, books, cake. Yes cake was an answer. My dog. Drawing. And so on. Several had these circles on taped to the desk. When they felt they couldn't communicate properly they are now able to just point to what they want. It helped them understand proper communication which also leads to
behavior modification. It also empowered them to know that they needed calming down and also that their needs are important and are being acknowledged. Mine included music, a warm bath, smells calm me down flowers, baked bread, essential oils,. Think about your list. What do you need to bring you back to your calm self? Do the people around you respect and acknowledge your needs. Why or why not? Need a little help keeping the stress down? Bills, work, deadlines, holidays, family, or school stuff just starting to over whelm you? This oil comes in the young living starter kits, even the basic starter kit Stress Away It has an aroma that is the perfect blend of tropical and citrus, Stress Away is uniquely relaxing and comforting. With the roller ball on the top it is so easy to just swipe across my wrists. Look at me below taking a big sniff of it and melting my stress away. Sometimes you don't have the opportunity to stop and smell the roses, this is my alternative. This fab bottle retails at $39 but why not just get the starter kit with all the samples and your life time wholesale membership for $45 (scroll to the the bottom of this page) starter kit It's a great savings with no future obligations. I like to surprise my teachers, and daycare workers with the larger roll on bottle (that is actually cheaper.. go figure) during special times of the year. It really is the gift that keeps giving. I had really hoped to have journal-ed a little better within the last few months. A tool I will recommend you do. Just don't follow my lead. I just do not do it well. It's a great reflection to look back on. In my case...That didn't happen, but let's just re-cap a little. I finished a very intense 6 month program and now a certified holistic nutritional coach. I look back and think what?!?! My final was based on several courses. As I was putting together the final portfolio I just sat there in amazement of all the stuff I've learned, all the new tools I have to use. I am really looking forward to and the next 6 months of this journey. It will be quite the ride as I am specializing with a few new subjects. Urban farming, auriculotherapy- that's a thing? My favorite, essential oils a further study, and stress reduction. - Hey I need this class now, ahaha.
Im pretty sure I need a bucket of stress away today. It's monday. I have the most horrific shifts at work this week. My boss is on vacation so someone else did the schedule. Yeah I'm ok with it. It's actually quite funny as the work I need to do cannot be done during those hours soooooo yeah sucks to be them. Gotta lotta negativity going on today so I decided to have a me morning. I'm sure this is going to sound like a commercial but this is how I just spent the last hour and a half. First lets dye those gray roots. OMG I saw myself in super bright lighting yesterday, first stop walgreens for hair dye. Yes commercial nice and easy $4.00 a box hair dye. As that is working I've got a facial mask on (the ritual by perfectly posh), stripper detox mud (perfectly posh) on my stomach and nair on my legs ~ holy hell no body better ring the door bell. ~ so yeah Shower all that off. Then I cut my hair. waiting on it to dry I realize once again those hair dye people are liars. Got my diffuser running with purification (young living) because these dogs stink to the moon and back. Getting packages ready to mail from my ebay garage sale. get work clothes out of the dryer .....And off to work I go
Homework is just not in the picture today (yet your thinking I have time to blog, hey hey this is a no judgement zone blog) |
