Why would I start voice lessons at my age? I’ve asked myself that question over and over, and have been asked something similar by others.

Like so many other things, this requires practice. In case you missed the January post, this idea comes from 14,000 Things … [Read more…]

I Can’t Be Rational About Food

January 7, 2019 by drleannamanuel Leave a Comment

Are you still on the path for improved health and wellness in 2019?  Is the resolution still firmly in mind?  Hopefully our last tapping was a good starting point for managing the barriers to success.  One of the things that came up for me when thinking about my love-hate relationship with food was the quality … [Read more…]

Exercise Avoidance

July 23, 2018 by drleannamanuel Leave a Comment

Have you ever skipped a planned workout because you just didn’t want to go? Meridian tapping can help to keep you on track for your health and fitness goals. This is actually a pretty old video.  Much has changed since I filmed it.  I’ve moved twice, broken my arm, and changed jobs.  My commitment to … [Read more…]

Prior Programming

July 13, 2018 by drleannamanuel Leave a Comment

Prior programming is the collection of ideas, concepts, views, and beliefs that we use as our “operating system” in daily life. These programs come from our parents, religious institutions, schools, families, peer group, media, and society. Sometimes the programs are valid. Sometimes they are not. When the programs are not valid they definitely work against … [Read more…]

It Will Be Difficult

July 6, 2018 by drleannamanuel Leave a Comment

It will be difficult is one of the excuses identified in Excuses Be Gone, a book by Dr. Wayne Dyer and published by Hay House in 2009. I can’t even begin to count the number of times I have personally used this one.  It has also been a favorite for many of my patients over … [Read more…]

Letting It Be Easy

June 18, 2018 by drleannamanuel Leave a Comment

Do you make things harder than they have to be?  I know that I sometimes do.  There have been many occasions when I’ve struggled through a task, and on completion been amazed (and distressed) when I realize that it could have been much simpler or easier than I made it.  Perhaps it is prior programming … [Read more…]

Did anyone bring the marshmallows?

I tend to be an optimist, but sometimes I have a hard time seeing the silver lining right away.  Thursday morning started as any other day. I got up and showered, fed the dogs, made my breakfast, packed my lunch for work, then went into the laundry room to check the dogs’ water bowl.  I … [Read more…]
