Stuck is not a fun place to be. Yet for so many, stuck seems to be a state that is stubbornly present, even defeating in the lives of so many. You know, the web site tweak that just has to be done before you promote, the sales script that needs to have every word perfect…
Just finished watching the movie Peaceful Warrior. (If you haven’t seen it, go grab a copy at the DVD store. It’s one you’ll want to see more than once). In the movie, Dan, the main character, has a very busy life. He’s a young college student and athlete, bound for the Olympics, he trains hard,…
It was 3:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, and I was walking out of the movie theater with a giant knot in the pit of my stomach. I had just seen the movie “2012”. After going in with much anticipation and knowing that I would need to keep a strong mind to be able to stay…
Over the years, I’ve been doing a lot more life coaching (which I absolutely LOVE) helping people over panic, anxiety, worry, fear and self-confidence challenges, along with a host of other emotional and mental challenges that keep you stuck and feeling alone. I used to think that getting things done was all “mind over matter”, but not…
Every year about this time, I start thinking about what my theme word will be for next year. Then, in December, I will take the last 2 weeks and reflect, review and clean up whatever I need to in order to keep thing rolling. This year has definately been a year of high-impact change. (Funny,…
I want to talk with you today about change. It’s an inevitable part of life, yet sometimes it seems so hard. Changing relationships, careers, community, environment, health, emotions, mental states can really wreak havoc on the best-laid plans.
This is an interesting time to be alive. While it seems on the outside like chaos, I am seeing things in a different way. The way I see it, lots of people are getting more of what they really want by getting a big and unexpected push. You might be scratching your head right now…
“My neck hurts.” It was a simple statement, one that told me everything I needed to know about his life. He literally had a “pain in the neck” situation going on at work, and it showed up as a physical pain. When I first got my master certification in NLP and hypnosis, I was instantly…
Today’s mantra: stay on target. Some days, you just wake up apathetic or discouraged, for what could be no reason at all. Oh sure, there’s always some reason, but it’s probably not at all what you think. I mean, there are so many blessings to count, so much goodness around but sometimes you just have…
Happiness. Yeah, big deal. I’ll be happy when I _________________ (fill in the blank) Honestly, that’s what I used to think about happiness. No time for that “happy crap” – got stuff to do! And as for the people who made a living dealing with all of that emotional stuff? Wow, what a waste of…
Just got off the phone with a consulting client who has restructured the people in her business to be aligned with the appropriate job. (Honestly, if I only did one thing all day, it would be style and values testing because it makes people understand their relationships so well!) Not only is she happier, but…
My house is a mess. I hate it when that happens. Because I’m the one who made it that way, and there’s no other excuse. While I’m normally a very neat and orderly person,
