Dr. Darlene's latest book offers informative discussions which describe ways of strengthening your body, empowering your mind and maintaining a loving spirit. It is interspersed with humor, inspiring quotes, real client stories, as well as exercises to help reinforce what you've learned. Regardless of the pain and anguish we may experience at one point or another in our lives, we do persevere through difficult times, and, with support, we often emerge stronger. Holistic Health focuses on strengthening our body, mind and spirit, and is a way of life, not a quick fix. Fitness, positive thinking and maintaining a loving spirit is the key. Likewise, living in the moment and mindfulness is also an in-credibly powerful means of building resilience. When you have stressful or traumatic situations involving your health, family, work, finances, church or community, it may feel overwhelming. By focusing all of your attention on the problem, it will likely exacerbate the situation and illuminate the problem. Letting go and surrendering is a process. We are better able to do this when our lifestyle focuses on physical health, mental fitness and spiritual strength. We are constantly learning and growing from our experiences - both good and bad. Healing comes from our ability to make holistic health a lifestyle. It can't be a temporary fix to a traumatic event or major problem. It is an ongoing life choice to move toward fulfillment and joy. We can't change the past nor completely control the future. Often, we spend too much valuable time regretting the past and/or worrying about the future instead of living in the present moment. This guide focuses on key topic areas related to Holistic Health: Body, Mind and Spirit. It offers you help to persevere and successfully navigate life's challenges by learning to take care of yourself, rely on your faith, effectively communicate, love fully and build resiliency to help carry you and your family through whatever crisis life brings.
