Health Harmony & Happiness with Cathy

List-making is essential if you want to feel like you're getting things done in life, but there's one thing that may be missing from your list that can actually make life easier for you. In this episode I give you a method for list-making that helps you stay focused on what's really essential and necessary so that you can live more in flow with your time, energy and focus even when...

Playing it safe means you aren't finding that edge in life that makes you the best version of yourself. But if adding one more thing to your list to take action on or try harder at seems overwhelming, rest assured, finding your edge doesn't always mean you have to do more. This episode is a continuation of last week's episode in which I discussed what it means to find your "edg...

Flowing with your time, energy and focus even when unexpected things come up, doesn't just mean floating through life and letting life happen to you.  On the contrary, it means intentionally becoming aware of those places that make you slightly uncomfortable then learning to adapt to them without going too far.  Also known as finding your edge. In this episode, I take you through a visualizat...

Transitions are one of the toughest things both in life and on the yoga mat, yet you can indeed train yourself to make them easy and maybe even effortless.  When approaching a transition, in order to get to the place of effortless action, there are three key things that I've discovered need to be intention placed around them. Transitions are happening all the time--everyday moments to the lar...

Transitions are one of the toughest things both in life and on the yoga mat, but not necessarily for the reasons you might think. This is the first episode in a 2-part series on making transitions effortless. We are constantly being faced with transitions, from the everyday moments like getting the kids out the door in the morning or moving through the highs and lows in your personal cycle, to the...

Unconditional love means that we treat others, how we would want to be treated, not how we deserve to be treated, but how we would want to be treated. Yet, so often we unconsciously place expectations, limits, or conditions as you might call them on how we love others or how we treat others, including ourselves. Unconditional love towards yourself means forgiveness.  It means turning towards yours...

Being a do-it-all person means you know how to get stuff done, but it often comes at the expense of other things or people, yourself included. For various reasons many of us, when we become adults, feel the need to do everything, but in all reality, there's a couple key elements that spur us to become "do-it-all" humans. And these things are all very closely related, and likely a pr...

I have a natural tendency to turn away from myself when life gets crazy around me. You might too...it's completely another way of numbing or checking out so we don't have to really feel anything . In times of stress or chaos, we revert back to our natural training, to what we can do on auto-pilot, and if you're like me, that means you're likely not really recognizing your feeli...

Work and Rest, two necessary phases of everything we do in life. Yet, in today's world, we often get stuck in the work mode, thinking that's the only way to productivity. But yoga teaches otherwise. In yoga, you need both the postures that are going to challenge us and energize us as well as the postures that are going to quiet us and allow us to reflect inward. If you don't have a...

Transitions get you from one thing to another, and naturally they may feel clunky, especially in the beginning.  They are asking you to do something different than what your body and mind are comfortable doing.  From the time you are born until the time that you die you are faced with transitions of every kind in life.  There's really no escaping them.   They can be simple transitions like wa...

Full moon time is an ideal time to begin clearing out the clutter in your life; and there just so happens to be one tomorrow!  With the holidays just over, you've likely got even more stuff now than you did before and you're trying to figure out where it's all going to go. But perhaps organization is what is needed, perhaps it's actually time to say goodbye to some of the thing...

Your mind and body are one, and not separate as we have been led to believe. What happens in one is a direct reflection of the other. And when it comes to dis-ease or discomfort in your physical body it's likely that the discomfort is trying to get you to pay attention to something in your mental or emotional awareness as well. In today's episode, I share why discomforts or aches and pai...

Join Amber Diehm Heuer and me as we talk shielding techniques to guard yourself against someone else's "junk" and instead align with your highest good  You know when you walk into a room and can just feel the tension or sense that something is off but can't place your finger on it? Likely it's negative or stagnant energy. And if you're having a great day, you don&apos...

Your breath holds the profound ability to act as a mirror for your mental, emotional and energetic self.  I'd even go as far as to say how you breathe is who you are as a person in any given moment.  Your breath is a powerful tool within you--your life force. It's the breath you received from God when you came into this world. In this episode I talk briefly about the science of your brea...

Flowing with life doesn't just mean just moving in a straight line - it means moving WITH the ups and downs.  Adapting.  Allowing.  Even when it feels icky and uncomfortable. And that means you'll have days that feel heavy, even filled with anxiety.  These days often happen in the phase right before the end of an Energetic Rhythms cycle or right at the start of one.  And everyone experie...

There's this thought out there that the word spiritual equals religion.  That if someone says: Oh, she's really "spiritual," that it means she's devoted to Christ or that she's religious in some way.  It's simply untrue. The word "spiritual" involves so much more than any one particular belief system or religion. In this episode I breakdown the differen...

This is the final episode in a 4-part series about the phases of your Energetic Rhythms Cycle.   Each phase plays a crucial role in helping you feel in flow with your time, energy and focus, and if even one phase is ignored, it can make life much harder than it needs to be.  I've given you nuggets of how to implement each phase and an awareness of what challenges might arise within each phase...

There is in fact an ideal time to let go of things in life…whether it’s decluttering your home, your mind or your energy, or even simply putting yourself out there into the world and letting that part of you be seen, there is indeed a time for taking action on this sort of thing that aligns with your highest good, even if you embrace the "hustle" mentality.  And it begins to happen in Ph...

When you feel the shift in energy that comes after feeling an inward pull or lower emotional time, you could be moving into Phase 2 of your Energetic Rhythms Cycle; here's how you can maximize the energy you have so you remain focused and energetic with your time.  This is the second episode in an 4-part series all about the phases of your Energetic Rhythms Cycle in which I'm breaking ea...

Setting intentions is like gathering the seeds of hope for what you want your life to look, sound and feel like.  You consciously gather them all up and decide it's time to plant them, then you put your trust in something greater than yourself to contribute in making them happen, no matter what that might look like. This is the first of a 4-part series on the phases of your Energetic Rhythms....

Your body is a messenger.  At all times in your life, it's giving you cues as to how to live your life.  Although, if you're unaware of this, you likely think that those aches, pains or discomforts are just your body's way of shutting down or aging when really they're signals of something deeper...and when you can tune into them, you may be giving yourself blessings beyond what...

When you get stuck in one energetic rhythms phase and miss the other phases that are necessary to live in flow with life even when unexpected things come up, you find yourself doing all the little things to just get by instead of doing the big things that ultimately help you listen to your inner guidance to take action and make all those little things even easier, or perhaps, make them drift away....

When you feel chaotic, unsettled, or distracted and unable to focus, it’s necessary to have resources that you can call on to settle or ground back into yourself. In last week’s episode I gave you permission to be in that space of distraction and chaos, and to just allow yourself to be there. It’s inevitable that there are going to be things in life that make you feel a little bonkers and scattere...

Life is full.  Full, and constantly changing.  When you're on the verge of burnout or already burned out from one thing or another or multiple things and the tools that help ground and center yourself have even been shut out, it's hard to get the motivation to get started with those things that will help you get back to living in your element.   And once you take that first step to getti...
