It engages readers in a self-reflective process, to: assess where they are; decide what they need to achieve desired goals; and utilize well researched cognitive-behavioral tools that enable persons to change their thinking. This approach is likely to result in a clearer vision toward positive life enhancement and increased mobilization to move forward.Dr. Diane Kernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11466829392256051433noreply@blogger.comBlogger92125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476932890309106508.post-11727223386485474702024-02-29T20:16:00.000-08:002024-02-29T20:16:14.488-08:00<h3 class="ember-view" id="ember4418" style="--artdeco-reset-typography_getfontsize: 2.4rem; --artdeco-reset-typography_getlineheight: 1.33333; background-color: white; border: var(--artdeco-reset-base-border-zero); box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: var(--font-size-display-small); line-height: var(--artdeco-reset-typography_getLineHeight); margin: 3.2rem 0px; outline: var(--artdeco-reset-base-outline-zero); padding: var(--artdeco-reset-base-padding-zero); vertical-align: var(--artdeco-reset-base-vertical-align-baseline);"><span style="font-weight: var(--font-weight-bold);">The </span><i>S.P.I.E.S.</i><span style="font-weight: var(--font-weight-bold);"> Self-Care Strategies: Practice Loving Yourself During February, the Month of Love and Beyond</span></h3><p class="ember-view reader-content-blocks__paragraph" id="ember4419" style="--artdeco-reset-typography_getfontsize: 1.6rem; --artdeco-reset-typography_getlineheight: 1.5; background-color: white; border: var(--artdeco-reset-base-border-zero); box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: var(--font-size-large); line-height: 1.75; margin: 1.6rem 0px; padding: var(--artdeco-reset-base-padding-zero); pointer-events: all; vertical-align: var(--artdeco-reset-base-vertical-align-baseline);"><span style="font-size: var(--font-size-large);">Now that 2024 is well underway, let’s work on attaining total wellness and satisfaction.

Self-Care Model</b></p><p>Self-Care is the healthy exercise of your responsibility and your right to aim for wellbeing. It starts with our attitude. That which we can Conceive, Believe and Achieve contributes toward our feeling and being well. This is a conscious and intentional practice.</p><p>My mindfulness approach: Acknowledge; Assess and Address enables you to work through and manage your emotions. This intentional process enables you to feel in control and resolve distress. </p><p>Practicing deliberate self-care in a comprehensive manner promotes total wellness. My model, S.P.I.E.S. provides a framework that can be applied to guide you through self-care assessment and practices across five dimensions: </p><p>Spiritual: Your sense of purpose, mission, values, and meaning that guide you and promote fulfillment</p><p>Physical: Your health, physical characteristics, physical abilities and talents;</p><p>Intellectual: Your mental and cognitive abilities; intellect; knowledge; and thought processes</p><p>Emotional: Your feelings and personality traits</p><p>Social: Your ability to relate well to others and engage in healthy interpersonal relationships</p><p><br /></p><p>With the upcoming months of 2023, be intentional about ways you approach your desire to be well and feel good. </p><p><br /></p><p>The blog posts from February through June, 2023 will focus on each of the S.P.I.E.S. dimensions and ways you can practice healthy self-care within that dimension.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> </p>Dr. Diane Kernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11466829392256051433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476932890309106508.post-53759758528408828382022-12-31T20:03:00.003-08:002022-12-31T20:03:54.472-08:00Welcome 2023 With Gratitude from 2022<p style="text-align: center;"> <b>THE BENEFIT OF GRATITUDE </b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Being Grateful for 2022 Helps Usher in 2023</b></p><p>As 2022 comes to a close, it it helpful to reflect on how we were successful in getting through the year. It is important to note that using a positive lens through which to evaluate what has transpired and where we have landed does not require us to ignore the painful or challenging experiences. It is healthy to acknowledge problems and negative situations. However, it is unhealthy to give those events and situations all of the power. That is what happens when we narrow our lens and focus only or primarily on the pain of hurtful events.</p><p>A healthy attitude enables us to desire to be whole, feel well and move on. Psychological researchers have found that the practice of gratitude is helpful in switching our perspective from one of problem to solution and building the resilience to overcome the negative impact of hurtful events. Specifically, the attitude of gratitude is the ability to see the "silver lining" in an otherwise negative situation or focusing on what you have and those things that you can appreciate, despite the unfortunate event.</p><p><b>Some benefits of an attitude of gratitude. </b></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>We realize in most cases, that we have more than we lost and can put problems in perspective</li><li>Appreciating what we still have and whatever is still working well fosters optimism</li><li>Feeling optimistic can significantly reduce feelings of hopelessness and anxiety</li><li>Gratitude enables us to see the possibility to rebuild, regain and become restored</li><li>We recognize and utilize our personal power within a situation that helps us overcome setbacks</li><li>Feeling grateful also enables us to recognize what we can offer and fosters generosity</li><li>We become more mindful and aware of our abundance, as opposed to our deficits</li></ul><div>The practice of gratitude is fairly simple. However, it requires intentional and regular practice to have the maximum benefit. One popular method for practicing and strengthening one's attitude of gratitude is The Gratitude Journal. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Directions for doing a Gratitude Journal include:</b></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Taking time out daily to consciously reflect on 3 things for which you are grateful</li><li>Each day, identify 3 different things for which you are grateful</li><li>There are no requirements for the magnitude of the items or things for which you may appreciate</li></ul><div>For more information about my Happy and Healthy U: Learn to Love Life and Live Well services,</div></div><div>Visit: https://www.happyandhealthyu.com or https://www.drdianekern.com</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><p></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> </p>Dr. Diane Kernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11466829392256051433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476932890309106508.post-48509237766985761562022-11-30T20:43:00.000-08:002022-11-30T20:43:58.540-08:00<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>CAREER SATISFACTION AND SUCCESS PODCAST SERIES<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>by Dr. Diane Kern</b></p>

They either feel they do not have the permission; or feel that they are committing some offense against others by doing so. </p><p> The effect of not granting self-permission is feeling stuck, trapped and unhappy.</p><p>Let's understand the concept of "permission". According to the Mirriam-Webster Thesaurus definition: Permission is <b>"the approval of someone in authority for the doing of something". </b></p><p>Two critical concepts loom large here: <b>authority and approval</b> </p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Who has authority over you? </li><ul><li>As a fully functional, responsible adult, the healthy response is, <b>"You"</b>.</li></ul><li>Whose approval should you seek, as an adult? </li><ul><li>Again, the healthy response is, <b>"You"</b>. </li></ul></ul><p></p><p>When you exercise <b>authority</b> in your life choices and decisions, you are assuming responsibility and taking control over that which is yours. You have the right to govern yourself. </p><p>With respect to <b>approval</b>, it is healthy and okay to embrace and act upon your desires, as long as you are not disrespecting the rights of others. This relates to honoring and respecting healthy boundaries; yours and those of others. </p><p>By giving yourself permission to be happy and healthy, you can feel empowered and good about yourself. These are motivating and positive emotions that mobilize you to aim for fulfillment and enjoyment. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><br /></p>Dr. Diane Kernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11466829392256051433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476932890309106508.post-70925440696696628522022-03-31T22:16:00.005-07:002022-03-31T22:16:44.658-07:00Emotional Victory Over the Pandemic: Re-Connection and Re-Direction<p><span style="font-size: medium;">How are you doing as we continue to move beyond the Covid Pandemic? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Are you ready for <b>re-connection</b> and <b>re-direction</b>?</span></p><p>Become <b>Aware and Acknowledge:</b> The world continues to grapple with safety, especially in the wake of various vaccinations (and boosters), while still facing the occurrence of Covid variants.

However, We Can Increase Our Calm and Coping Skills. </b></p><p>It is summer, many of us are vaccinated and the world is re-opening. So, it feels like the world has conquered the pandemic and we are getting back to the normal we knew. Not just yet! Currently, we are seeing a surge of the Delta variant of Covid-19, clearly reminding us that there is still a real threat to our health and safety. </p><p>This continued threat is wearing on our patience and making us fatigued. It is very easy to delude ourselves; bury our heads in the sand; and simply ignore the troubling reality. This situation also saddens and angers many of us. So, out of defiance, some of us have chosen to ignore the ongoing threat. As re-opening is occurring, many of us are also struggling with anxiety about whether we will be safe and healthy.</p><p>It is important that we recognize and manage our emotions, so they will not overwhelm or misguide us. In order to effectively manage our emotions, it is critical that we get in control (not try to control), instead of allowing distressing emotions to control us.</p><p>Let's use my paradigm, <b><i>Acknowledge, Assess and Address </i></b>to help get in control of our emotions in a healthy manner. This enables us to adjust to the reality of this period of transition in the midst of challenge.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Acknowledge:</b> It's okay that we allow ourselves to feel our troubling emotions. If we are saddened, scared, frustrated, mentally fatigued by this experience it makes sense. By acknowledging that we are in distress, we can now take the initial steps toward developing coping strategies and functioning in a healthy manner. Validating our experience enables us to re-claim our happiness.</p><p><b>Assess:</b> It is important that we determine how we are doing in the face of our emotional distress related to the pandemic experience. In what ways have we been impacted, positively or negatively as the result of the pandemic lockdown? </p><p><b>Address: </b>It starts with healthy attitudes toward our experiences. We can determine how we wish to feel and aim to get there. In general, the more we embrace and aspire to experience positive emotions, the healthier we can be. Here are some useful strategies:</p><p><b>Adopt and practice positive thinking, such as:</b></p><p><b>Hope: </b>We can see the possibility of things getting better.</p><p><b>Joy: </b>We can find and engage with those things we enjoy.</p><p><b>Empowerment:</b> When we recognize and do what we realistically can, we can feel capable, confident and good about ourselves. Let's seek ways we can improve our ability to transition into the re-opening world, while recognizing and accepting what we cannot control.</p><p><b>Positivity: </b>Focus on the positive, instead of dwelling on the negative. Let's see some of the "silver linings" and positive outcomes of the pandemic experience (i.e. new revelations; increased comfort with virtual platforms; </p><p><b>Compassion toward self: </b>Let's accept ourselves and feel deserving of good things and good treatment, despite our shortcomings. Let's forgive ourselves and exercise patience for our mistakes or ways we did not live up to our best expectations. </p><p><b>Compassion toward others: </b>Let's recognize the worth of others and engage in mutual, positive interactions. We can practice generosity, kindness and consideration as we continue to cope and transition toward a new normal.</p><p><br /></p><p>For more information about Dr. Diane Kern's emotional wellness programs, visit:</p><p>www.HappyandHealthyU.com</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Dr. Diane Kernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11466829392256051433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476932890309106508.post-11457102943392674692021-06-30T20:59:00.006-07:002021-06-30T21:07:51.862-07:00Go Forward, Not Back to Work!<p> <b>Go Forward to Work: Returning to Work as the Pandemic Declines</b></p><p><br /></p><p>"Go Forward to Work" is the beginning of the title of my upcoming book <i>Go Forward to Work: How to Use Your SPIES to Get Your Right Fit Job During a Pandemic. </i>This blog post will focus on effectively adjusting to work as the pandemic winds down.</p><p>As we are in the midst of recovering from the pandemic quarantine and lockdown, returning or resuming work may not be the same as going back to work. to "Go Forward to Work" challenges us to think about the reality of how the pandemic impacted our lives. </p><p>For many of us, work will never be the same. Even if your employment is now requiring you to shift from virtual work and return to the physical work space on a full time basis, it will not be the same. How are you processing this experience? How secure or comfortable do you feel being in an environment in close proximity to others? How happy are you to resume seeing and interacting with others after working remotely and maybe in an isolated manner? How are you adjusting to resuming a commute? </p><p>For some of us, the pandemic presented us with a total re-evaluation of work. Some persons decided to retire. While others, came to the realization that their previous work was unsatisfying. Those workers most likely now seek new career paths. For these persons, the importance of being happy in one's career life has become a higher priority. Yet have others embraced new ways of doing what they previously did. This may mean deciding to work virtually full-time or now utilizing virtual and technical skills that were generated and strengthened during the pandemic.</p><p>The most challenging situation for many is most likely, having lost a job due to the pandemic. Most likely persons in this category struggled financially, even with the help of stimulus payments and unemployment benefits. This period presents an opportunity to learn new skills and pivot toward those job industries that grew either during the pandemic or since the re-opening. </p><p><br /></p><p>Let's approach these situations being mindful and self-determined by using my AAA approach to managing our emotions to enable the most effective decisions.</p><p>AWARE AND ACKNOWLEDGE: Recognize and identify what you feel. It's okay to acknowledge the distress caused by this pandemic. The goal is to work through emotional obstacles, such as fear, insecurity and lack of confidence. Being aware is the beginning of enabling you to address and reduce your distress.</p><p><br /></p><p>ASSESS: Determine ways that you have been impacted, either positively or negatively by the pandemic. Also notice the intensity of any distress and how it is hindering you in your work life. For instance, losing you job may have shaken your self-confidence. It is important to regain your self-assurance to move ahead and regain employment.</p><p><br /></p><p>ADDRESS: Identify what you need and how to go about meeting those needs. Find and tap into available resources. Ask for and accept reasonable help, personally and professionally. We can recover from a setback</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Dr. Diane Kernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11466829392256051433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476932890309106508.post-3597441125967867722021-03-31T20:10:00.002-07:002021-03-31T20:10:46.932-07:00Overcoming A Covid-19 Career Crisis<p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Experiencing a Covid-19 Career Crisis?</b></span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Are you a recent college graduate or about to graduate and your career opportunities have decreased or disappeared?</b></span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Have you lost a job you have held for some time, due to the impact of Covid-19?</b></span></li></ul><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">As disappointing as this may feel, it is important to stay encouraged, focused and determined to achieve your employment and career goals. </span></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br /></span></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Below are some strategies that may help you get back on track with pursuing career related happiness and succes:</span></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>ACKNOWLEDGE:</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The negative impact of Covid-19 on your employment and your feelings about it.

knowing when this will end and feeling the fatigue resulting from living with
the prolonged pandemic related stress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

having to retreat to indoors, the uncertainty is leading many to experience
increased emotional distress in the form of increased depression and
anxiety.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>

<b>Taking Good Care of Your Heart = Loving Yourself</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Although the month of February has ended, let's not forget its major health theme; American Heart Health month. This topic aligns well with Valentine's Day (the love holiday), which is celebrated annually on February 14. Heart or cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in America, according to most reputable health experts and organizations. Heart disease is also highly correlated with clinical depression. Given the critical importance of this health issue, it deserves attention beyond February, on a continuous basis.<br />
<br />
Are you taking good care of your heart? This truly brings the mind and body connection together.<br />
Therefore, it is extremely important that we learn and engage in the proven practices that will insure our heart health. Such practices include reducing and managing emotional stress, as well as physical self-care in the form of our healthy eating habits, getting quality sleep and exercise.<br />
<br />
Our "health is our wealth". Being ill and not feeling well reduces our ability to enjoy life and experience happiness. An expression of healthy self-love is the desire to feel well and be well. Let us step up to our responsibility and right to take good care of ourselves and to live in ways that help us become and stay happy and healthy.<br />
<br />
Please see the resources and video links, below that provide useful information on ways to take good care of our hearts.<br />

<b>Do You Have "20/20 Vision" for the Year 2020?</b></div>
<br />
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Welcome to 2020, a new year and the beginning of a new decade.<br />
Many of us found ourselves reflecting on 2019 as the end of that year occurred and the year, 2020 approached. Hopefully, we are utilizing clear, accurate and empowering <b>"20/20" vision.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, <b>"20/20 Vision" </b>is not perfect vision, it is average or normal vision. It is the standard for determining whether a person needs corrective lenses or further intervention to enable one to see clearly. Our level of visual acuity (sharpness and clarity) is typically measured via an eye chart, based upon our ability to see from a distance of 20 feet.<br />
<br />
<b>"20/20 Vision"</b> as a metaphor for our mental approach to this new year, can help us see whether we are engaging in thinking that empowers us or hinders us. The good news is that we can change our mental lens or thinking in ways that facilitate positive feelings and mobilizing behaviors.<br />
<br />
Some of us are struggling with a negative mindset, such as vision that is clouded by the past. Such a negative view or mindset is often plagued by inaccurate assessments, self-punitive / self-critical, pessimistic, fear based, and angry attitudes. The resulting distressing emotions of excessive stress, depression and anxiety significantly interfere with our functioning. We are unable to clearly see where we are right now; let alone, where we wish to go.<br />
<br />
In contrast, when we choose a positive lens or positive mindset, our vision and view becomes clear and sharp. While not perfect, it allows us to accurately evaluate ourselves, others and our situations. It empowers us by enabling us to see new possibilities, feel good, feel motivated and feel confident. Such clear vision promotes movement and growth in our desired directions.<br />
<br />
So, let's rid ourselves of the inaccurate, negative thinking that holds us back and distresses us. Instead, let's replace it with a <b>"20/20 vision" </b>mindset that enables us to see ourselves, others and our situations clearly and in the most positive way. As a result, we will experience positive emotions and feel good; more effectively manage stress; bounce back and become more resilient in the face of challenges and setbacks; and feel motivated and self-confident as we strive toward our goals.<br />
<br />
May you enjoy a Happy and Healthy New Year!!!Dr. Diane Kernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11466829392256051433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476932890309106508.post-63795364285552974672019-11-27T19:19:00.000-08:002019-11-27T19:20:02.324-08:00An Attitude of Gratitude is Good For Your Health<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

things in our lives enable us to feel good and in control, even in the midst of
challenging situations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We do not have
to deny the pain or difficulties that are occurring. However, when we regularly

things our lives; the things that are going well, we realize that not all is
