  • What Models In Life Are You Following Now?

    What Models In Life Are You Following Now?

    Is that a strange or confusing question? We all have models which we follow in our lives. Rules to live by. Ways of viewing the world. People around us. How life goes. Even our own behaviors and reactions. The shoulds and should nots. So now with some more explanation, what models of life do you…

  • Do You Have Trouble Communicating?

    Do You Have Trouble Communicating?

    Hard to get your ideas across? Always getting into arguments? Looking for deeper and more meaningful connections but somehow just can’t quite get there? You’re not alone. Most of us think we are great communicators but…somehow whatever we do or say isn’t working the way we want. Words come out of our mouths, but never…

  • What is Holding You Back?

    What is Holding You Back?

    Do you feel like you can’t move forward? Somewhere in life. Your job. Your relationships. Your goals. Can’t seem to get there, or even start. Ever take a look what exactly is holding you back? Not just the surface level. I’m lazy. I don’t feel like it. These are nice to hear but don’t quite…

  • Is the Path Ahead of You Yours or Someone Else’s?

    Is the Path Ahead of You Yours or Someone Else’s?

    Feeling discomfort on your goals? Your current path? Your future path? Got this nagging feeling that not all is well or right with your life’s journey but not sure what or why? Did it come from within? Where did it come from? Was it your parents who set you on this path? Did you follow…

  • Do You Suffer and Just Put Up With It?

    Do You Suffer and Just Put Up With It?

    “Suffering for the sake of suffering is pointless. There needs to be an attainable goal or prize that you are reaching for to motivate you. If you are in a position where you have been “eating bitterness” with a path to nowhere, then you need to get off that path for your own good and…

  • Are You A Sleep Procrastinator?

    Are You A Sleep Procrastinator?

    How many of you procrastinate sleeping every night? Get in bed, but don’t turn off the light. Hang out with your devices. Doomscroll for a (long) while. Or watch some videos. Mindless. Relaxing, you say? Unwinding from a busy, stressful day? Some needed quiet time for just you? Before you know it, it’s late. After…

  • Does Life Have You Feeling Like You’re a Sinking Ship?

    Does Life Have You Feeling Like You’re a Sinking Ship?

    Has life got you overwhelmed? Like an overloaded ship that’s sinking lower and lower and taking on water? This graphic came across my feed and it struck a chord. Today’s life is filled with so many things calling for our attention, wanting our time and energy. They overflow our brains and hearts until we feel…

  • Affirmations and Mantras Don’t Work For Me

    Affirmations and Mantras Don’t Work For Me

    How many of you have tried affirmations? Or any kind of mantra, something you recite over and over again with the goal of infusing a thought pattern and changing mindset and feeling? How did it work for you? Not so well? Not at all? Just a boring exercise of talking to oneself with no apparent…

    When Life Drops Pain Onto Your Lap, What Do You Do?

    This cartoon was too good not to share. When life drops darkness and pain onto your life, how do you respond? If you could create art and beauty from it, how would that look for you? Image credit: Lunarbaboon.com

  • How Sturdy Are You?

    How Sturdy Are You?

    Ever think about your own sturdiness? Sturdy is defined as strongly or solidly built. How strong or solidly built are you? Perhaps there is a slightly alternative meaning here I’m putting forth. I am listening to this excellent Huberman Lab podcast with Dr. Becky Kennedy. She defines “sturdiness” as: The ability to connect to oneself…

  • Are You A Verbal Processor?

    Are You A Verbal Processor?

    Do you think out loud? Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Most people do at some point in their days. But do you think out loud all the time? Your thoughts emerging unbidden vocally, as you try to make sense of them or a problem you’re trying to solve? Perhaps you find that you…

  • Is Your Life Effortless?

    Is Your Life Effortless?

    Do you flow through your life with ease? Or is it filled with struggle, like you’re moving through a pool of thick mud? Is it a dream of yours, to have less effort? To have that elusive flow, that people love to talk about but you can’t seem to get? We all have obstacles in…

  • Do You Advocate For Yourself?

    Do You Advocate For Yourself?

    Speak your mind, your heart, your wishes in order to get what you want and need? Or do you stay silent? And what feelings come up for you when you do? Fear? Worry? Something else? Perhaps even anger at not speaking up? Or do you believe that others should take care of you? Like your…
