We’ve been fed a line, and we’ve taken the bait because it sounded delicious. Motivation. Truly, a bunch of crap and half-truths are floating around out there and these are keeping people from being honest and getting shit done. So listen, if you ARE feeling motivated right now – hey get going! Have at it and enjoy! For those of us ‘other’ folks who aren’t? Here’s the truth…your probably not going to get motivated anytime soon. Well, at least you…
We all have our stories don’t we? The ones that begin with “I am…” These are powerful stories. Some of which we were given and bought into. Some of which we created based on meaning and context that was quite often limited at the time. And yet, we carry these stories with us. They influence how we see ourselves, others and the life that we are leading. These stories help us create our beliefs which in turn influence our choices…
Sometimes the problem is not the problem, only our interpretation of the problem is the problem. Get it? Ya, it’s a bit messy sounding and can lead down a pretty winding path of eye’s widening and exclaiming “ooooh!” I’m not going to lie, that winding path goes deep. Still, you don’t have to walk the whole thing today. Just get started, start thinking about things a little differently. A great philosopher (whose name escapes me right now, but if you…
Why don’t you need to bother with New Year’s resolutions? Easy answer? Because they SUCK and you don’t really care about them anyway. C’mon, am I right? Little bit? Yeah, I thought so. It’s December 31st, 2016 today. New Year’s Eve Baby! At 8am I’ve already had 3 emails and have seen multiple Facebook and twitter posts about how to ‘FIX’ your new year’s resolutions this year. Everything from wording them differently, to buy this app, to getting a ‘resolution…
As of writing this there are only 2 days left in 2016. It’s been quite a ride hasn’t it? Lots of people are REALLY ready to feel those fresh start feelings with 2017 beginning so soon. I love that. A new year, new start and all those yummy things! One thing I would like to share with you is this…you can get all the fresh starts, clean slates and new beginnings you want, but they are often quite pointless. Why?…
Want to take a long walk with me and at the same time raise your vibrations up like crazy? While I like to think I’m a fun person to be around let’s face it…most of you, dear readers, are not next door but I can still share with you how to do this – even with out me. It’s something I started doing when I was recovering from injuries to both my body and my spirit. I’ll be really honest…
Quick disclaimer: If you are someone who is completely satisfied with your life then this post is probably not for you. Feel free to click on a different post or go get some ice-cream, have a nap or whatever catches your fancy. For the rest of us, I have a tip that will literally (and I mean that in the truest sense of the word) change everything. Yes…EVERYthing. I’m not kidding or exaggerating even a little. It’s easy. It’s free….
You may have heard me say that most of us need to be far more gentle with our selves than we generally are. Heck, I may have even said it to you directly. I’m a BIG believer that we ought to treat ourselves as nicely (or better) than we would treat any one else. Unfortunately, that often is not the case. There seems to be this weird perception that there some badge of honor for abusing ourselves. You know what…
Boundaries! I think these might be the things my tribe most want to talk about when they first begin. There are a lot of myths and beliefs that cause a great deal of discomfort and stress when it comes to boundaries. I get it, but they shouldn’t. Boundaries are a beautiful thing! Well, they are when they are done right. Let’s get clear however, around what I mean when I say personal boundaries. I’m talking about the choices you make…
It’s happened to me, to friends, clients and I’m sure you have had at least some experience with life feeling like it’s crumbling around you. Where it seems to be falling apart no matter which direction you look. Work is a big ball of stress and craziness, you get a flat or the engine starts knocking, a fight with your partner, and with any luck you not only get a cold but break out. You feel like life is out…
