10 Tips to improve your mental health while keeping you spiritually grounded.

Hey Luv,

Today is the dawn of a new era. I want to ask each of you, do you want to walk the road ahead in peace or in Chaos?

I choose peace and below I am going to share with you a few of the tools that help keep me spiritually grounded and healthy within the mind. Maybe they will work for you too!

Elixir tonics filled with Medicinal mushrooms

These morning tonics add a kick to my early morning tasks. I use a base of certain teas that work synergistically within the body as both a liver detoxifier and an overall body energizer without the caffeine. I have about 15 videos on AndreaCoxTV via YouTube of my elixir tonics so go check them out!

Crystals, palo-santo, Mexican copal, and sage

My home is full of crystals. Crystals hold energy and they have a real balancing affect on myself and my clients. I use a variety of sage, Copal and Palo-santo. Be mindful of how often you burn these items. Sage and especially Copal (the authentic real kind) Can also get rid of positive energy so try to only use these items once per month.

Palo Santo attracts positive energy and it can be used more often. The sage/copal/palo-santo bundles you see me holding can be found in my Etsy store here.

CBD drops for myself and my dogs!

I can really tell a difference in both of my dog’s behavior when I give them a few drops of CBD. This in turn also balances my energy!

Organite balancers

A dear friend of mine sent me a few pyramids and a candle holder made from this lovely energized substance. I literally feel the balancing affect when I have them around me or place them on top of my solar plexus.

Oracle cards

Although I don’t recommend to my clients that they pull cards on themselves, they can be used if taken lightly. I see no harm in pulling an Angel Oracle card once a day to pull in a positive message to abide by. Cards should always be used as a guide and not a direction.

Food that I grow and harvest myself and meals made with love!

At this point, I am growing 90% of all of my fruits and vegetables. This has been a dream of mine ever since I left my garden in Ohio 10 years ago. When you put love into your food it shows in your skin and in your body. Actually, it shows in your overall well-being and outlook on life!

Juicing Daily!

I legit have not missed a day of juicing in 21 years! YEP! I know! Crazy? Maybe to some but not for me! Juicing gives me a TON of energy! The best part about juicing is, you will literally GLOW from the inside out! Try it for a week and see how you feel!

Yoga prayer and chanting

The first hour of my day is not spent jabbering on the phone. Nor is it spent in a gym. Or responding to E-mails. My day begins with Snatam Kaur’s angelic voice playing in the background and candles lit. The first hour of the day is the most precious in my opinion. It truly sets the tone. I generally do a few sun salutations in nature and follow it by chanting something I have spoken for years.

Nature

Nature is the only way to remind us that we are a tiny dot of matter on this HUGE earth! Those little problems we make into HUGE issues really lose their place of importance when we venture outside! I try to spend at least two hours per day in nature. Sometimes I eat lunch or dinner outdoors to remind myself of the beauty that nature provides.

Rescue Animals

My dogs are EVERYTHING to me! They are my best friends and they know all of my secrets. Spending time with animals is sacred because they are with us a much shorter time than humans. Animals teach us unconditional love, over and over again. Having animals around (even the birds in the morning) is time I cherish.

Be present, be mindful … be the change you wish to see in others.

I love you

I only want the best for you

Here’s to embracing SO MUCH LOVE!I

Please love yourself and stay humble

Until tomorrow

Mental Health Coping During Covid-19

I pray my friends get through the battles they don’t tell me about.

Today I woke with a bloody nose. It’s the 13th day in a row I’ve woke with a bloody pillowcase.

I live alone

I’ve given up an ongoing battle with a landlord who wants to up the rent in the midst of a pandemic in a home I’ve paid $3200 in for eight years. I literally paid until September in the midst of a rental freeze just to avoid the calls from her attorney son!

But I appear to be fine therefore everyone assumes I’m great because hey… I look good!

I’m seeing an elderly neighbor being ignored and try to be there for him as much as possible. Even just with words of kindness.

I have a neighbor across the street who constantly tosses ridicule at me for obvious jealousy reasons.

My mailbox has been broken into three times over the past year.

I am working with a team to reverse a DNS hijackkneg where my site is literally being hidden due to a hacking we’ve almost resolved.

I am seeing more and more animals in shelters being euthanized due to shelters closing and it’s heart wrenching!

I have friends who reach out to me constantly to unload their emotional baggage onto me but only one friend I feel as though I can truly speak openly to.

My gym and every outlet that previously was keeping my routine in check and my body healthy has been closed.

I have about 10 billionaire client friends who I feel a strong need to disengage from due to them not contributing to animal shelters or the greater collective at large. Yet taking advantage of the selling of items that induce the pandemic paranoia.

I’m trying to get two new business ventures off the ground (while my site is still being hid on Google when you search my name)!

But hey… I look like I’m ok so … you know;)

I am a truth teller, a whistleblower and I don’t hold back about many subjects that people don’t want you to know the truth about. And this creates a lot of hatred towards me from your average every day person all the way up into the government. 

Honestly if it weren’t for that one girlfriend at a distance and my supportive loving clients, my team who are all at a distance, my two pups, FaceTime with my beautiful mom and a mini trampoline I would have lost it.

And then there is the news (uggh)! Suicide rates are up and everything the news shows appears to be of a negative nature! I made a list of ten things I feel are important to get outside of ourselves during this exceptionally difficult time the world is in today. 

1. Ask people if they’re ok. Bottom line, people need to know you care.
2. Ask people if they have food! People are struggling. PLEASE don’t let surface appearances confuse you.
3. Reach out to those whom are alone! I FaceTime my mother every morning. How are your friends and family doing? Theres a saying I live by, “you never know what someone else is going through”. Reach out!
4. Purge items from your space. Stop pretending you don’t have the time to do this. The time is now.
5. Spend time with elderly neighbors. I have a next door neighbor who is a former navy man. He lives alone. At least once per day I reach out to him with a simple question. “How are you”?
6. Rescue a pet from a high kill shelter! Shelters are closing! Now more than ever the animals need our help! Animals are excellent long term companions that give us unconditional love. They also encourage us to wake up every day. 
7. Get enough exercise! This is the one area that I began slacking on until finally I woke up and said ENOUGH! I put a plan in place and stuck to it! Today I am down 11 pounds and feeling healthier than ever before! 
8. Get adequate sunshine! Vitamin D matters! Especially in the area of prevention within the realm of depression. Sunshine helps. Twenty minutes per day of direct sunlight can and will help you prevent depression. 
9. Set up a daily routine. Ok, I know that everyday will be different but it is vital that you set a routine in place today to keep the boredom and depression at bay!
10. Please stop complaining about the masks. YEP! You heard it here first! We’ve been conditioned to wear helmets when riding a bike. We know to wear a seatbelt when riding in a car. Unfortunately at the moment we are living in a masked society. But the truth is (in my opinion) why weren’t food service workers and elderly care workers wearing these already? It’s like finally we are taking cleanliness seriously. 
    
    
    

Don’t assume someone is alright due to appearance.

Don’t hate on people because they appear to be ok! Or even worse, don’t toss hatred someones way due to jealousy! Because the sunshine and rainbows you see may be just one INCREDIBLY STRONG person who is trying to make it through the day just like you!

And remember… if you are doing well for yourself there will ALWAYS be people who see you doing well who may not want the best for you. When you trend people troll. And when you trend 11 consecutive years people will troll and attempt to torment you in an attempt to knock you off of a throne that you have built brick by brick with your own blood sweat and tears.

I am a ROCK in my stance! No matter what happens I will never allow my heart to be hardened!
I strongly suggestion to do the same. 

Be kind

I love you please love yourself
