Food for Thought: “Healthy Eats” with Jo Eager on CHI FOR YOURSELF!
All the noise about nutrition these days! CHI FOR YOURSELF wants to cut through the clutter, so I’m happy to announce that Jo Eager will be joining us with a new segment called “Healthy Eats.”

Jo knows her way around the kitchen and her conscious lifestyle is reflected in her cookin’. Take a look:
Why are we stressed? Stress is the body’s normal reaction to daily events. There are several sources of stress and as many ways to react to it. Basically, stress is a human defense mechanism, but it is important to not let it take over.
On the next CHI FOR YOURSELF, you’ll hear clinical psychologist Arthur Ciaramicoli offer therapeutic tools for fighting the anxiety, fear, and depression caused by stress. Arthur Ciaramicoli EdD, Ph.D. is the author of The Stress Solution: Using Empathy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to Reduce Anxiety and Develop Resilience.

“Stop Being Lonely” (a how-to) and 2 CHI FOR YOURSELF replays
Hard to believe loneliness could be a reality for many of us given that we are sooooooo connected, followed, friended, and liked. But on our next CHI FOR YOURSELF we’ll hear from someone who specializes in helping lonely folks. In fact, Kira Asatryan has been there herself and she’s put her findings into a book called STOP BEING LONELY: Three Simple Steps to Developing Close Friendships and Deep Relationships.

We couldn’t let Valentine’s Day slip by without a look at relationships from our “Conscious Talk” point of view. So…..a couple of love offerings to honor the day!
In Love Cycles, veteran couples therapist Linda Carroll presents a groundbreaking model of the five natural stages of romantic relationships — the Merge, Doubt and Denial, Disillusionment, Decision, and Wholehearted Love — and a guide for navigating through them toward lasting love. Love Cycles helps readers understand where they are in the cycle of their relationship and provides a clear strategy for how to stay happy and committed, even in difficult times.
Click on this player to hear the CHI FOR YOURSELF interview:
Long-term happiness in love depends on a couple’s ability to repair the inevitable rifts and differences, large and small, that occur in any relationship. Neuroscience suggests that relationship upsets are best mended quickly, or they accumulate in long-term memory, increase reactive communication, and become harder to repair successfully. And good repair takes five minutes or less! The book Five Minute Relationship Repair from Dr. Susan Campbell and Dr. John Grey offers practical tools and suggested scripts for resolving problems and having your needs met.

When Good Prayers Go Bad
On the heels of the US visit by Pope Francis Chi For Yourself looks into the power of prayer. When she talked to us in 2012 August Gold reminded us that since the beginning of time men and women everywhere have prayed — millions of prayers daily and yet only a handful of those prayers are answered. August suggests that prayer is something that everyone wants to do but a lot of people have confusion or concern about because they think they don’t know how or that they’re praying incorrectly. August Gold is the co-author (with Joel Fotinos) of The Prayer Chest.
