Many of you know I love to share songs, poems, jokes, and uplifiting quotes. Here are a few outside resources that I’ve recently shared with clients.

Something Inspirational to LISTEN TO:

LYRICS: If I Can Dream, Elvis Presley

“There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true?

There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds of promise that will blow away all the doubt and fear
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear?

We're lost in a cloud with too much rain
We're trapped in a world that's troubled with pain
But as long as a man has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly

Deep in my heart there's a trembling question
Still I am sure that the answer's gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle
And while I can think,
While I can talk
While I can stand,
While I can walk
While I can dream,
Please let my dream come true... right now
Let it come true right now
Oh, yeah”

SOMETHING Meditative FOR YOUR SENSES:

Jonna Jinson is an inspiring singer, filmmaker, and artist. She documents her life and it becomes a living winter meditation. Enjoy as we come to the end of winter in the US.

SOMETHING Exciting FOR YOUR MIND:

Winter can bring on the “blah’s.” Staying indoors more, being less active, and shorter exposure to daylight can leave us doing less. Maybe the mind could benefit from more stimulation? Perhaps alleviating boredom could improve mood? Take a listen to this talk by Dr. Andrew Huberman and “Make Your Life Exciting Again!”
