Hi Traxel Family,

My latest episode 15 is now! It talks about the difficulty of disappointment with MS progression and focusing on a positive mindset with simple tools. Again, I like to remind you to process all emotions and "sit" with it. This means to fully acknowledge your feelings without trying to fix it in that moment. Then let it go when you're ready. Self awareness is often an underrated skill and can be very helpful . It's ok to not be "on" with positivity all the time. My main goal is to help you refocus and get back on track when needed.

How do we do that?

• Gratitude - enjoy the simple things in life, life is short

• Self reflection and awareness with journaling , exercise or being out in nature

Hello Everyone,

This episode continues the conversation of Empowerment and taking the LEAD of our own health !

It's essential to have a comprehensive approach to healthcare. A Mind, Body and Soul connection helps with overall well-being versus just treating symptoms only. Let's look at the bigger picture - Incorporating holistic health like meditation, breath work, mindfulness and body awareness provides a great foundation to build on. In addition to this, adding movement throughout the day ( even in 10-20 minute increments ) , and getting proper nutrition and sleep, can only add to our wellness.

Hello Everyone !

First one being - Awareness and simply starting the conversation. Trillions of dollars are being spent on healthcare and Americans , as a whole, are sicker with more chronic diseases than ever before. The question is "Why is this and what can be done?" The importance of spreading the word on ideas on how to bridge the gap in healthcare and sharing with others and your providers is a good step.

Second - Advocating for yourself and loved ones is crucial. No one knows your body better than you. It's ok

and necessary to speak up and ask questions. It's Ok to have providers repeat what you don't understand and need clarification as to why certain treatments are recommended o…

Holistic health is a whole person centered approach to wellness. This approach acknowledges how our mind , body and soul are interconnected for overall well-being. Our thoughts can influence our body in a negative way through stress or in positive way with a sense of calmness and peace. Our bodies can be a foundation for a deeper connection to the soul that is empowering.

1. Mindfulness - The importance of sitting in stillness allows for self-reflection and is key to finding clarity and strength. Meditation, journaling or using the power of slow breathing are helpful ways to obtaining self awareness. "Mental fitness" is just like physical fitness and the gym, it takes time and patience. With practice, mindfulness will slowly get easier. Be kind to yourself with this process.
   

2. Body - Taking care of our physical health is important for so many reasons such as improving the immune system, for…
