Did you know that you can regulate your behavior through your thoughts? Here is a 2-minute video that explains how regulating our thoughts and behaviors helps us to actually achieve our goals. Join me to learn the next step…how to find the subconscious programming behind your behaviors. It matters!
Two Kinds Of Power
There are two kinds of power: Power Over and Personal Power. Power Over kills the spirit. Personal Power nourishes the spirit. Author Patricia Evans says, “Power Over shows up as control and dominance. Personal Power shows up as mutuality and co-creation.” (The Verbally Abusive Relationship) I help my clients discover their personal power–power to create […]
COVID-19 And Emotions
Things happen. Life happens. Plans don’t go as we think they should or thought they would. A virus sweeps the Earth and millions loose jobs and financial security. Parents and guardians are suddenly responsible for homeschooling their children. Quarantine means staying indoors, staying put, and wearing masks for the occasional trip to buy essentials. The […]
Anxiety And COVID-19
As I’ve mentioned before, my favorite definition of anxiety is: practicing failure in advance. No one knows how long COVID is going to stay around, let alone what life is going to be like when we go back to “normal.” And the brain believes that anxiety about it all will keep us safe. The truth […]
COVID-19 And Moving Forward
As a world, we are currently in the “middle” of this pandemic. We don’t know how long it is going to last let alone what tomorrow’s stipulations may look like. The brain likes to go to panic or anxiety about things like this because it cannot solve for things that have not happened. It can […]
Why Inflammation Can Make Change Difficult
Some more pieces of the body puzzle recently came together for me as I listened to Drs. David and Austin Perlmutter being interviewed in a very enlightening podcast episode, “How to Detox Your Brain for Clearer Thinking, Deeper Relationships, and Lasting Happiness.” The Perlmutter’s explain how inflammation caused from sugar actually inhibits the function of […]
Your Value Does Not Change With Your Choices
I do a lot of Mental Wellness Life Coaching. The NUMBER ONE lie my clients believe about themselves is: “I’m not good enough.” And when we dig deep to find the root of this lie, it always has to do with some choices they have made and attaching their value to those choices. The truth […]
Perfection and Commitment
We hear the word “perfect” a lot. It can be so damaging because the message is, “I’m not good enough” because I didn’t do such and such without error. The truth is, you’re good enough. Period. You’re valuable because you are a human being on this planet. Period. Nothing you do or don’t do changes that. […]
How Do You Handle Negative Emotions?
I didn’t understand something during the first 22 years of being a mother. I didn’t understand how important–critical–it is to feel emotions. I didn’t understand that emotions are not something to fear. I didn’t understand how to allow myself to feel negative emotions let alone how to teach my children how to feel theirs. Now […]
Creating What You REALLY Want
Creation. It’s a word that maybe isn’t spoken enough. The fact is, we are constantly in creation mode–either positive or negative. When was the last time you created something you REALLY wanted? In Marianne Williamson’s book, “The Law of Divine Compensation,” she states: “It is not our circumstances, then, but rather our thoughts about our […]
