Silvie+Maryl | Upgrading Minds, Transforming Lives

It’s the third week of the new year, with the “new you” in full effect, and that may mean you’ve started to notice one of the consequences of major change: the effect of a new you on the people around you. Read More…

Love is a universal, intangible force that every human being on this planet is capable of experiencing. There is a very big confusion, what we here at Silvie+Maryl call an “old program” that society has created, that being in the energy of love automatically means being in a relationship. In this episode we recycle that concept with a mind upgrade that will free you from that outdated and potentially harmful idea. Read More…

Some people spend a lifetime not doing anything they want to do and not living the life they want to live. They blame it on many things, including the people in their life. Yes, some people seem to have things easier…“seem”. But we don’t really know the truth of anyone’s life, we can only assume what it’s like to be them. Others have it real tough, depending on your perspective. What we need to focus on is what kind of cards we were dealt to see what kind of game we play. Fear is the main culprit behind all of our finger-pointing and blame. But in this article, the focus is not fear. We’d like to create more self awareness by singling out something that often gets used by people when in fear of doing something: Excuses. Read More…

When we were children, we spent loads of time playing. Our parents organized play dates for us and, if we weren’t eating or sleeping, we were, well, playing. During most of our day, we used our creativity, imagination, sense of humor and innate resourcefulness. Then, as we got older, playtime got shorter and shorter, and for some, it now nonexistent. Usually, this happens because we think we have no time for silly things like play. Some blame it on their demanding jobs. Others say (as if this line automatically excuses them from it): “I have kids”.

Depriving yourself of your daily dose of playtime generally seems to be a societal habit that was never questioned or thought about, so it was passed down through generations as an assumed requisite to being an adult. What we are forgetting is this: Playtime was healthy for us as children, and it is healthy for us as adults. It’s our birthright as creative beings and it is our responsibility as conscious adults to engage in it. Whether we are tired (probably due to malnourishment) or way too busy (remember, you designed your life), playtime is a must-have ingredient for a  holistically healthy lifestyle. Read More…

Have you heard of the saying, “it’s better to be alone than in bad company”? This is one my mottos. Although I am happily married, I’m constantly talking to and advising women over 30 on how to find love and maintain a healthy relationship.  Now more than ever, there are a lot more single women over 30 and although they are fabulous, they still approach love like they were back in the 1900s. These women aren’t spinsters, in fact, they are highly intelligent, gorgeous, independent women who are not looking to settle. Times have changed. I’m here to tell you that we are not living in the 1900’s anymore, that there is nothing wrong with you, that some women at this very time are divorced from unhappy marriages…and some are still in unfulfilled, dead-end marriages. That is not love and it’s certainly not what you want. Read More…
