I'd be happy to schedule a free phone consultation with Dr. David Rubenstein, Stress Physiologist if you're interested.

I love this! I’m sitting on my deck, watching hummingbirds and searching for a hummingbird nest that I think is nearby in the trees. When I do this, I am doing is focusing on the hummingbirds, which is very very relaxing. Have a great Labor Day!

on the one hand, finding myself in a nice safe snowglobe feels like a nice idea. On the other hand, my doggo is in there with me...and he's shedding....so all those lovely snowflakes are actually tuffs of dog hair....so there's that.

Love the image of dog hair floating around the snow globe! That made me laugh.

This is a totally relatable depiction of ‘staying present’ and ‘be here now’ -- which I hear in my meditation apps every dang day. “Be in your snow globe” works for me better. Thank you.

Yes! I've been trying meditation too, but this image did seem to help me.

Love this idea

! I just finished a vigorous walk to beat the heat that's coming (90F predicted) and at this moment I'm sitting on my deck watching the lake and listening to the leaves rustling in the light breeze.

Btw...the reason this is SO hilarious is that a relative actually gave my kids snowglobes for Christmas...that you absolitely can slide a photo into...and my hubs and I each have 1. I'm now off to their rooms (its scarey cuz their now teens) to try & find them🤣❣️

Love it. We focus on this in my 12 step program - One day at a time. But I really love analogies and this one is beautiful! I’ll share with my meeting if that’s ok - I’ll give you full credit 😉 💜☮️

I really enjoy the snowglobe analogy. I think that visual is great. If you ever create a cartoon with color of the concept, I would buy it to frame in my house as a reminder.

That's a great idea! I'll create it in color and announce when it's ready!
