February is the month of love and National Healthy
Heart month. Millions of cards are bought, candy is
given, and kisses are stolen. What is it about love; we
simply cannot get enough of?
The heart is a vital organ - our lifeline. Did you
know that the heart beats an average of 100,000
times each day? Inside us and with every beat we
also have the emotional heartbeat. Our emotional heart beat is more complicated: it has both light
and dark places. On the dark side of our hearts we
will find such emotions as jealousy, envy, anger and
revenge. These negative feelings feed

During February what if you focus on the lighter
side of your heart? People who love are people who
forgive. A song I listen to each morning in the car to
help challenge me is by Five For Fighting. In the song
he sings:
Take my hand for a minute
We’re in it - imagine all the pain that might be forgiven
What if I had your heart?
What if you wore my scars?
How would we break down?
What if you were me and what if I were you?
What if you told my lies?
What if I cried with your eyes?
Could anyone keep us down?
What if you were me and what if I were you?
To the ones who make it better, find to get out
‘Gotta touch the other side
What if all that it took to save our lives together was to rise up?
“
So what if this month we focused on having a
healthy emotional heart? Every journey begins with
one step. Whether it’s saying hello to a stranger, or
encouraging someone on social media. Pledge this
month to get an all around healthy heart. Do a little
10
on themselves and definitely harbor ill will. When you
focus on darker feelings you lower your self-esteem
and confidence. The light side has trouble breaking through. On the light side of the heart we find
love, forgiveness, compassion, transformation, and
self-confidence.

exercise, smile at a stranger. What could be more
rewarding than THINKing through what we say, so
that our light heart sparkles? Wouldn’t it be great to
spread the love of a healthy heart?
