Healthy Morsels, II COVID-19

by Lynn O’Hara

As I write this we are in the midst of the corona virus lockdown.

My guess is that we will still be in it when the article gets published. I hope all who are reading are doing well. Do you know how you are doing? It’s not a silly question although for all intents it sounds like it is. Let me explain. I’m not asking if you know whether or not you have Covid 19. I am asking if you’ve taken the time to check in with yourself to see how you actually are doing with everything. In times of stress we can react in many ways. We can go into fight or flight mode, we can shut down, we can get busy doing things, we can cope using food, alcohol or drugs. The list goes on and on in the ways we can react in times of stress. What makes this time so difficult for many is that we are being told to stay home and not do anything. We are used to handling times of stress by jumping in and taking care of business. This time the taking care is to stay home and not do.

Many of us are facing enormous financial concerns, some are facing safety issues, some are having to go to the front lines either in a hospital or grocery store and many are having to become the sole source of entertainment and education for their children. The point is I can’t think of anyone who is not affected in some way by the corona virus. So back to my question, how are you doing?

Volume 5, Issue 64

It is easy to forget that this will end.

Lynn O’Hara, MS, RD, LPC Licensed Psychotherapist It’s easy to get caught up in our own Registered Dietitian swirling minds full of fears and (732) 899-9312 concerns. This is all the more reason www.lynnoharalpc.com to really check in and see how you are doing. Are you sleeping? Are you eating the best you can? Are you getting exercise? All these things are so very important in times of stress to keep us as healthy as can be. But I also want you to notice how you’re feeling. Are you constantly stressed?

Depressed? Are you feeling hopeless? Maybe you’re noticing a constant state of vigilance? This is just a sampling of all normal responses to what is going on but the important piece is for you to take the time to notice it. Asking yourself the questions, “how am I being impacted and what do I need”, can go a long way to help soothe your jangled nervous system. Just noticing the state of your inner world can be helpful. Validate for yourself how you feel. Please, please do not compare your own situation to anyone else. That is a waste of time and energy and triggers feelings of shame to pile on top of everything else. Your own experience in this time is what is important.

Think of this time as similar to the instructions you’re given on an airplane if the oxygen masks are put in use. Put your own mask on first and then tend to the others who need help. If you do not tend to your own health and well being during this chaotic and unprecedented time you won’t have the resources to be there for the ones around you. Until next time, stay distant, eat healthy, be healthy and wash your hands!

Rover Rescue It’s the Perfect Time to Welcome a New Pet!

by Lauren Kehoe

dog in the tub and give him a thorough washing, perhaps with a haircut and nail trim. The internet has an abundance of step by step training guides on everything Lauren Kehoe from teaching sit to playing dead to is an avid opening doors. Some trainers may be animal lover and dog owner. willing to do virtual sessions and make things a bit more hands on. You can use items lying around the house to set up a backyard agility course or hide treats in empty cardboard boxes for some nose work. If there are remote areas where you can get away from people and take your dog for a hike, fresh air and staying active does wonders for health. As much as dogs may try to help with your indoor workouts, they can sometimes make them a bit too challenging.

It isn’t every day that a pandemic comes along and throws life as we know it out the window. While the coronavirus poses different health risks for everyone, it has changed daily routine across the world. With school and work shut down and all “nonessential” travel discouraged, people are feeling trapped. Maintaining a productive routine and keeping a virtual social life makes a huge difference. Luckily, dogs and cats cannot contract COVID-19.

If social distancing has got you feeling alone and depressed, four legged friends are ready to be your game changer.

Working from home or having a hiatus from work brings on the bonus of more time at home with family, including pets. If you don’t own a pet, shelters and rescues are still operating. This could be the perfect opportunity to welcome a new dog or cat into your home. Most shelters are doing adoptions by appointment only, some have the option of virtual meet and greets. If returning to work down the road will mean no time for a pet or funds are tight, fostering offers all the love without lifetime commitment.

The foster parent explains their household set up and time frame available, and the shelter matches an appropriate fit. Typically, the shelter covers food, medical, and supplies. The animal rescue community is struggling with an influx of owner surrenders due to fear, sickness, financial struggles, and transportation restrictions.

Some places may even have volunteer work that can be done from your home.

Taking the time to slow down and be grateful for everything, including your pet, keeps things in perspective. Hugging and loving on pets are proven to reduce stress. For as much as we teach them, we learn even more in return. Taking photos and videos of your pet and sharing them on social media may provide others with some smiles and stress relief. It is important to take care of ourselves and those around us as best as we can during challenging times. While the rest of the world is shut out, pets are thrilled you are shut in. Every negative has a positive. Focusing on the positives and supporting each other will get us through this.

If you decide to adopt or foster, or already have animals in your home, let the fun begin! Suddenly, all those things you never had time for are achievable. Get your

Back to Earth Mindfulness-Based Art Therapy

by Natalie Berko

The concept of mindfulness originated from early Buddhist practices. These practices encouraged an enlightening meditation that focused on awareness of one’s emotions, consciousness, and sensations. Today mindfulness has branched out from its roots as a Buddhist meditation method to become integrated into psychotherapy. These practices are used as a means of coping with a variety of conditions including substance abuse, eating disorders, and anxiety among many other mental, emotional, and physical issues.

Since the beginning in the late 1940s, art therapy has become a rapidly developing field spreading everywhere from hospitals to prisons and many individual practices. An art therapy session generally includes either the art as an emotional release, or the art psychotherapy approach where the completed art is analyzed by the therapist and client to gain insight. Recently several people in the field, including psychologist and writer Laury Rappaport, have proposed a new concept “Mindful-Based Art Therapy.” “MBAT” Mindful-Based Art Therapy is a method of combining the philosophies of mindfulness practices with the existing art therapy setting. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction has long been used to help clients approach themselves and the world with an open, accepting mindset with an awareness that allows them to reflect on what they find, leading to a greater understanding of one’s emotions and inner self, Mindfulness-Based Art Therapy aims to include the creative process of art-making in this self-exploration.

Research has shown that because the brain accesses similar states during both treatment modalities, it is not mentally difficult for clients to combine them and receive the benefits of these two methods simultaneously. There are several key components that are involved in creating the concept of MBAT. The first part “mindfulness” reflects a focus on awareness of emotions, physical sensations in the body, and consciousness. When you are being mindful you have an enhanced ability in terms of your self-awareness and capacity to reflect on your experience and daily life. The second part “Art Therapy” is the action of creating.

A precursor to MBAT, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction is a technique to improve your understanding of your inner self and emotions. Research-based evidence is still needed but MBAT is slowly gaining recognition as a tool for improvement in the field of psychology. In proposing the concept of MBAT, Rappaport incorporated the work of psychotherapist Eugene Gendlin’s theory on focusing. Glendlin noticed that the clients who improved the most in therapy were the ones who connected to their inner physical self. In Mindfulness-Based Art Therapy you connect the imagination to the body allowing the expression of feelings that you can’t express with word. Mindfulness-Based Art Therapy is beneficial because it can be easier to practice than attending psychotherapy appointments. Meditation can be practiced on your own at home as can many art-based forms of mindfulness. While it is important to note this

Volume 5, Issue 64

doesn’t replace interaction with a therapist, there are endless possibilities in terms of cost-efficient ways to implement MBAT in your daily life to combat stress and manage psychological difficulties.

Natalie Berko Certified Crystal Healer

MBAT can be a fun way to bring more mindfulness into your life, even if you are only doing it on your own at home. Do something for one hour a week that integrates mindfulness and art, and you’ll more likely see benefits to your psychological health.

Try some of the simple exercises below: • Draw a picture of yourself. This is an exercise of self-acceptance.

Try to make the picture as realistic as possible and be accepting of any “flaws” that you identify in the picture.

• Mindfully study art materials. Examine art with a mindful eye using all five of your senses. What do you see, feel, touch, hear, taste? Engage in sensory stimulation and monitor your responses to all forms of art in your daily life.

• Use art to express emotions. As you paint, sculpt, draw, or otherwise create art, try to channel the emotions and feelings you are experiencing in your body. Observe any physical sensations while you are drawing or coloring. Express happy or stressful events from your week through your art. Retrieve the feelings that you experience in your body and display them in your art to help recognize your own unmet needs and hidden emotions that you have yet found a way to communicate or notice.

• Notice pain changing. If you live with chronic pain due to a physical illness, notice how your pain changes as you create art.

• Paint and walk. Paint the bottom of your feet and create art by walking on paper.

• Create a collage. Make a collage that expresses your feelings and emotions.

• Before and after art pieces. Take notice of how you feel before and after creating an art piece to see if you notice improvements in your psychological well-being.

Point Beach’s Hometown

Beauty Queen

by Steve De Jacimo, Editor

The road to beauty pageant winner is not always lined with flowers, sparkling sashes and crowns. Point Pleasant Beach native, and 2020 Miss New Jersey International, Jacqueline DiPasquale says that, “Since 1st grade, I can remember being bullied, and it continued throughout high school.”

Jacqueline knew what bullying did to her, and she (with support from her parents and Grandmother) translated that inner fire into the confidence she needed to participate in her very first pageant, Miss New Jersey USA 2013. She ended up a finalist. She then took several years off the pageant trail to go to college and get her Bachelor’s degree in Radio and TV Communications from Monmouth University, and ultimately received her Master of Arts in Communications from Liberty University, in 2019.

But, the fire from within was still there….for pageants, and to pound the drum loudly for the victims of bullying. So, she used her pageant exposure and made bullying her outreach program as she moved forward in the pageant world. Throw in her media savvy background, and what you get is her podcast, “1 in 5: From Bullied to Healed”, her way of reminding us all of the statistics that 1 in 5 students are bullied, across the country.

When asked what she would like to convey to younger adults who are bullied, she said, “Don’t let it define you. Always believe in your own character and integrity. It does not have to change who you are….don’t let that happen.” Pretty profound words from the 27 year-old.

She goes on to say, “The opportunity to represent my state, as well as my Bullying Prevention platform at the Miss International 2020 Pageant in Kingsport, Tennessee on July 31st, is nothing short of an honor and a privilege. I am overfilled with gratitude and pride to be a born-and-raised Jersey girl, and I cannot wait to show that to the world on the Miss International stage.”

The Power of Positive Thinking New Earth

by Allison Feehan, N.D., D.Psc., CRMT

For years, what we thought was normal seems to be a thought in the distant past. We had been working to live and not living to work. Our financial system, medical system, and political structure seemed to always be on the verge of collapse. The fear that surrounded maintaining our jobs, paying our bills, being available to our children and family were an art. Learning to balance and juggle it all while keeping our sanity was normal.

After 2 months and counting in quarantine, we start to question new things. Some of us have gone much deeper into what truly matters to us. Maybe you aren’t commuting anymore and that job you had to be in the office for shows that you were capable of doing it from home all along. Schools have adapted quickly and, in most cases, quite successfully in order to bring education to the couches of many school aged children. Even colleges have stepped up and offered the same education at a fraction of the time and cost.

Allison Feehan N.D., D.Psc, CRMT Owner of the Coastal Cottage 64 Bridge Avenue Bay Head, NJ 08742

COVID-19 is a word most of us are feeling scarred by. Like the Great Super Storm Sandy, this invisible enemy has changed us all……and for the better. It may not appear like it now but there is a bigger plan in place and one we must trust. Stay with me… This isn’t some New Age lecture or another conversation on what COVID changed. I’m writing this article today because when humanity is united in a common cause, phenomenally rapid change is possible. We recently saw mass meditations taking place all over the world at a set time. The Shumann Resonance scale that measures the Earth’s vibration tipped its scale at 75, the highest vibration due to the mass meditations. She heard us all! In addition, we have all been forced to not trample all over her, dig at her, blow her up, fight on her, etc. We, as a collective, gave HER love. That much needed love was from all of us to all of us. We gave it to her and we gave it to each other, most leaving themselves out of the equation. In coherency, humanity’s creative powers are boundless.

This virus demonstrates the power of our collective when we all agree on what’s important. What world is it that we want to create? Hasn’t that always been the question? If you had your way, what would the world look like to you? Health care for everyone? Better work-life balance? Lower taxes? What would the world be like without terrorism? Ask yourself the question.

This time to reflect is like breaking an addictive hold on what was habit. If we can change for COVID-19 we can change other conditions too. I assure you that what must fall can and will be rebuilt.

Sometimes we have to lose things in order to appreciate them.

This hard stop will bring us a sense of new reality. This may leave some of you scared, full of anxiety, or a sense of relief. Plant your seeds, manifest and TRUST during this hard time. You don’t have to be religious to practice this. Release any fear, anxiety, feelings of depression to Mother Earth. Sit with her and she shall work to take it from you.

Practice forgiveness for yourself and others during this time of quiet. If you cannot see or speak to that person, pray or meditate and send them forgiveness. Let go of any control as we clearly have no control on any type of outcome but our own actions.

How we show up every day for ourselves, our family, and this planet is what we can control.

In health and wellness and many blessings, Allison
