When you choose depth over distraction, you choose intentional living. You begin to experience life more fully, with awareness and purpose. Let Reform with Afsana guide you as you rediscover yourself, reconnect with your inner truth, and create a life rooted in depth rather than distraction.

This post feels like sitting down with a friend who gets it. When life shifts—perhaps a job ends, a relationship changes, or you suddenly wake up feeling like the person you were has quietly slipped away—it can spark a profound loss of identity. This blog gently guides you through what that feels like, how to recognize the signs, and how to start finding yourself again, not by forcing it.

Find Yourself This may make you feel uncomfortable at first but they should not put you in struggle. To stretch, grow and expand involves moving into actions that are aligned with your dream. 7. Not sharing your vision You fear ridicule and so you have been keeping things a secret. This may be a wise move especially if your own family and friends are generally not supportive. You don’t want to have your dreams killed. In a situation like I just described, you may want to garner the support of people who could be aligned. This group of people do not necessarily have to be working on the same dream. What’s more important is that they are able to lend energetic support to your vision. They may be just be the ones who have the ability to send you the resources that you need for your vision to come true. We are here to help....check out our Menu Of Services. Read the full article

What makes our emotions healthy or unhealthy? What is Emotional Wellness? The emotional dimension emphasizes an awareness and acceptance of our feelings. We have to own our feelings. It includes the degree to which you feel positive and enthusiastic about yourself and life. So many have no thought of themselves or it tends to be negative. To manage your feelings and related behaviors including the realistic assessment of your limitations (so now I guess I have to change my perfectionist problem), and ability to cope effectively with stress (we will need to define “cope effectively” for sure). In addition, the emotionally well person maintains satisfying relationships with others. You’ll live and work independently while realizing the importance of seeking and appreciating the support and assistance of others. Maybe I am not too bad off because I do love teamwork! OK, I love teamwork as long as everyone is contributing! In the relationships with others, you should be able to express feelings freely and manage feelings effectively - yours and theirs. I have been working, like forever, in a leadership role. If I had expressed my feelings on many occasions I would have probably been fired and/or sued. Oh wait, there is that word “effectively” again. Being emotional well means you will take on challenges, take what some might seem risks, and recognize conflict can be healthy. Read the full article

Stress - an emotional problem we all face daily if not hourly. Emotions are how you feel at any given time. From happiness to sorrow, for better or worse, we can feel a wide variety of emotions—sometimes at the same time. When considering wellness, people tend to think of physical activity or nutrition first. But your emotional well-being is a crucial part of your overall health. Feelings are hard for some people to express and talk about. Being aware of what you are feeling can help you to channel your emotions into productive, positive feelings. Achieving emotional balance lays the foundation for total body well-being. Stress: Stress - Bad Emotionally and Physically One of the most significant problems human beings face today in their emotional wellness dimension is how to handle stress. It does not stop with just the emotional aspect, stress can damage both emotional and physical wellness. That is why it is so important to find an outlet to manage your stress. For some, a workout helps alleviate daily stress. Others find a hobby helps keep them calm. The key here is to find what works for you. Remember, no two people are alike.

Well here we are - trying to survive COVID-19 and praying it will just be over already. We must remember we are pulled in a million different directions daily, making balance hard. Stress everywhere! Our emotions can be all over the place on a good day, now with this crisis – WOW! Emotional eating here I come. This type of situation tends to send many of us on a Emotional Eating Journey. And if you are home, there are fewer stopping points between you and the food. And this is not the type Journey we want to be on. What is to be done? Emotional eating is a real “thing” for a lot of us. It only makes sense, because since the day we were born, we’ve used food for more than just our physical nourishment. Most meetings, all holidays and celebrations, family gatherings, friend gatherings, church socials, etc. all include food. And how many had to eat everything on your plate as a child before you could get up? Didn’t matter if you were full, it had to be gone. So, it makes sense that we use it to soothe our emotions especially in times like this. Being aware of all of that is a big part of intuitive eating. When you observe your patterns and habits, you can be more intentional in your choices instead of falling into bad habits and old patterns. People fall victim to emotional eating because of the failure to make the cut between their thoughts and imagination when it comes to destructive thinking habits.  Here is the mistake most people make: Read the full article
