Anger with Healthy Boundaries

No comments
What we know about Anger as women is how it makes us feel and react. Can we suppress it deeply or vocalize it? I believe majority of women are good at both and still learning to set healthy boundaries with Anger. For many Anger can govern their self-expression. 


We also know throughout a young women's life, majority of us have learned at an early age that showing anger is not lady like and would be perceived as a difficult woman. And although we all knew this could have some truth, this is also old news in today's agenda! The question now becomes; how does a woman express anger with healthy boundaries? 

I am sure there are plenty of magazine articles that explain that women can get angry as often as man do. And if you are wondering, why? well, the answer is pretty simple such as unfair treatment at work, frustration at home, failed relationships, unmet personal goals, and living life with repeated triggers. 

Frustration and unfair treatment are the top two reasons I believe many women experience an unsatisfied life because their throat chakra is blocked from self-expression. And when we suppress anger it leads to health problems such as heart disease, depression, high blood pressure, stress, stagnant body pain, substance use and premature death. 

Knowing that suppressing anger is not healthy for our longevity, it's important to address causing anger problems quickly. Below are a couple of Healthy Boundaries Tips on how to practice release anger:






1. Create healthy boundaries Identify your needs and expectations. Then learn how to enforce the boundary you want to create. Remember: You deserve RESPECT
2. Cut your loses: Especially if there is not effective change, it's better to cut your loss and remove yourself from an anger -provoking situation
3. Keep an Anger Diary: Become you own expert with your anger episodes, what triggered it? Who was present? How long it lasted? What was the intention?
4. Exercise: It's a powerful outlet to remove negative and stagnant energy away from the mind and body. Moving the body helps with a good mental reset. 







 



She Media: Whole Health Life

Happy March Mujeres!

I am happy to share with y'all some great moments from She Media: Whole Health Life SXSW (South by Southwest). She media returned to Austin, Texas and coordinated amazing panel speakers to address the science of women's health and longevity. And so, I was very excited to be back in Austin for two reasons, one to be part of the experience with She Media and two to spend some quality time with my sister (which I never get to do, since I am in San Diego). 

She Media definitely brought their A game to Austin to coordinate some amazing panel speakers with professionals, innovators, and change makers. Panel topics ranged from: physical health, nutrition, sexual health, mental health, holistic health, parenting, science, and much more. Every session was packed with valuable insight, awareness, and advocacy. Most of all supporting women's health initiatives (which you all know I am passionate about). 

As a collective it's important to come together to know what is shaping the future of women's health and partake on that journey along with others to help make improve health care services for all women in the community, clinics, hospitals, primary doctors, and more. One person can't make the change alone, so it takes a village to drive the mission. Together the change is possible!

3 Fruits to Eat During Your Menstruation

No comments


Many woman have uncomfortable symptoms during their menstruation cycle. And what we may not realize is that the foods we eat before, during and after can have a huge effect on your period health.  Today, I will share 3 simple fruits you should have in handy during your menstruation phase.

First, is the mini watermelon. One of the best remedies at times to lessen cramps is to eat water based fruits to lessen the period cramps. Watermelon can provide hydration, prevent bloating, and increase blood flow which is good for our reproductive region.

Second, are the blueberries. Blueberries can help fight off the uterus ninjas because they have high antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that can help balance out the hormonal changes during your cycle. Plus they are believed to help with low estrogen levels.

Third, are the blackberries. They are a Summer staple, but are packed in vitamin c, fiber, and high in manganese. Blackberries can reduce cramps, alleviate physical PMS problems and clot excessive bleeding.

Overall these sweet fruits can help keep your menstruation cycle healthy, curb sugar cravings without eating a lot of refined sugars and help replenish vitamins and minerals back into your body.


(Quick Tip: If you ever get the 2 for $5 dollar fruit deals, and are concern about possibly not consuming all of your fruit. You can always freeze your fruit.)


A Healthy You
