Listen to Your Feelings, but Don’t Follow Them
We often talk about the benefits of listening to your gut. Thinking and using logic are important, but paying attention to your intuition - or gut - is essential. When things feel right it's a good sign. When things feel wrong, it's a time to pause to learn more....
Connections, Do You Need New Ones?
Whenever you make a change in your life, big or small, it usually involves something new. It can be people, places, or things you do. When I think about all the adventures or misadventures we’ve had, they are all impacted by the connections we’ve made with others....
How Far Ahead Should You Plan?
The other day I was out for a walk along a wooded path. I realized the amount of attention I had to give to the few feet in front of me was very different than the space up ahead. With each step, I might have to avoid a rock or puddle. While way out in front, I could...
My, How Priorities Change
Over the past few weeks, I've met with many people of different ages. I can tell you with certainty, that what's important to us changes dramatically over time. I think about how our lives are like the seasons. We transition through the vibrancy of spring, into the...
You Get What You Give
Last weekend, we were visiting one of our favorite coffee shops for a chilly breakfast. It’s chilly because we sit outside with our little dog even though it is in the 30s. After we ordered our coffee, I made a comment that I thought they looked vibrant. There was...
Own Your Triggers
If you are like me, there are certain things that piss you off. For me, it’s usually something someone says. Maybe it's something that someone has said many times before and each time, it seems to cause the same reaction in me. I have both a physical and emotional...
What Are Goals Really For?
This is a question I've asked myself for many years. Sometimes it’s about making a career move, maybe it's an important decision, or simply when I’m tired of working toward a goal that seems out of reach. If I look at my thought processes when I was right out of...
Are You at the Center?
Back in the day, to find your way you had to pull out a paper map and use your finger to draw the path you wanted to take. After a while, you’d look on the map to see your progress as you moved across the town, city, or country you were trying to traverse. Now, we use...
Drama, Drama, Drama!! What Feelings Do You Want?
As I work through the multiple layers of anxiety I’ve built up over many years, I realized I need to use different tools. I use one tool and then it seems to be less effective over time so I switch to another one. Tapping is one I’ve used with much success...

You Want More Than You Think
We often talk about the importance of knowing what you want. It's hard to get what you want if you don't know what it is. Many of us go through struggles because we follow along and live automatically instead of living a life of purpose, driven by what we want. The...
What’s the Good News?
I don't pay attention to the news much. Sure, I have subscriptions to a few national newspapers and I occasionally check out the latest headlines on the internet, but I don't spend much time on it at all. Part of the reason I don't choose to take in much news is that...
Change is Going to Come
The other day we were walking near Old Town. It's a mixture of shiny new buildings with a few very old structures scattered about as well. Like many towns, ours is growing and as it grows, over time the old gets replaced by the new. There are plenty of examples where...
