Why is This Happening Again?
Have you ever had one of those days where you ask yourself, “Why is this happening to me again?!?!?” I had one of those recently. Frankly, I was pissed. I know I have changed so much about how I deal with things, and it’s beyond annoying to have the same results show up. It could…

Do It Anyway
I spoke recently to a group and one of the questions they asked me has continued to circulate in my mind. I keep thinking of additional answers, not in a “I-wish-I-had-answered-it-better” kind of way, but rather, in a deeper understanding of my own truth to the question. The question was, “How do you teach about…

What Impact Are You Having?
I’m laying on my back on the floor in a semi-darkened room. The sunlight is streaming through the window shining its rays above me, and I can see minute dust particles dancing in the space above me. I watch them swirl as I exhale and think about how they must also enter me as I…

Clean Getaway
I wrote last week about signs that it’s time to quit your job. However, I strongly believe and encourage my clients to get clean about their job before leaving, if possible. What do I mean by clean? Cleaning up your thoughts, taking responsibility for your part of the relationship, and making peace with it all.…

7 Signs that It’s Time to Change Jobs
When I started my career, I had the belief (instilled by my parents and what worked in their generation) that you stay with a company for the long-haul. Of course, that has changed dramatically, and hiring managers don’t negatively view a resume with multiple companies. (However, it’s still a bit suspicious if someone only stays…

Take Charge of Your Thoughts
Our brains can be one of our biggest assets in helping us achieve amazing feats and seemingly impossible goals…or they can be our biggest liability in keeping us small, low and stuck. I’m not sure when I became more aware of my thoughts, but it’s been a huge revelation for me in changing my life…

Finding Your Focus for 2014
I like the opportunity of a new year. It is ripe for fresh starts, and the turn of the calendar reminds me of a clean slate to begin anew. Perhaps it’s because I work in the self-help arena, but I have been bombarded with marketing messages to join new programs that promise to fix me.…

Changing Habits
Sometimes we make changes to our habits because we have to: we are faced with something so big that it’s obvious that we cannot continue to do things the way we’ve always done them. I’ve seen people make huge changes when faced with a serious diagnosis, an impending new addition to the family, or a…

I’m not Fine (And You Might Not Be Either)
“Hi! How are you?” “I’m fine. And you?” “Fine. Nice seeing you!” How many times do we have this type of conversation with people in our lives? It is appallingly shallow and so common and pervasive that it seems normal. But does that make it right? I recently learned this quote from Thomas Payne: “A…

Let Go
This quote came to mind for me today, as I’m consistently and repeatedly being asked to let go: Some of the things I’m being asked to let go of are easier than others. For example, letting go of a career a couple years ago that never really felt like it was a good fit was…
