I want to change, but others don’t want me to…
As Peter and I began to shift our thinking from fear and worry to a perspective of abundance and possibility, we started to notice other people’s reactions. It often entailed some comment to bring us back to the old mindset we were trying to move beyond. It’s usually...
Love Yourself First
Many of us have been told to do what you love. If you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. We’re also taught to find our true love and all will be blissful. Unfortunately, we are rarely taught that in order to love anything or anyone else, we must learn to love...
Is Change Intimidating For You?
Is change a good thing for you or is it a big scary monster that you avoid? I’m guessing it’s somewhere in between. Maybe there are elements of excitement mixed in with apprehension, fear, and uncertainty. Well, something to consider is that all the good things that...
Are You Miserable Because You See All That You Don’t Have?
Are you always focused on what others have and you don’t? Do you wish you could live a different life than what you have today? We all do this, but the difference between those who are working towards what they want and those that don’t is where they focus. Defeated...
Shed Your Cloak of Judgement
It sure is a heavy cloak. Sometimes you don’t even know you’re lugging it around. But a really simple way to tell if you’re carrying it is to observe your thinking. Do you have a running commentary about what is happening around you that goes something like this…....
Go Through Pain to Get to Joy
Last week Peter and I watched a Netflix special with Brené Brown on vulnerability and courage. In watching Brené, it was striking to realize how much we disavow our feelings of events that challenge us. And yet, it is these feelings that provide us the best tool to...
Abundance can be Automatic
A core tenant of YCC is that the universe is abundant and limitless unless we limit it in the way we think about ourselves and our everyday experiences. A great example is a mindset of scarcity vs. a mindset of abundance. When you have a mindset of scarcity, fear is...
Your Mindset is Everything
We have just a couple of days until the new year gets here, so how do you look forward when so much is different than in past years? Anticipating a new year is something that has become an annual event for many of us. Before the year starts, we go through and look at...
Relaxxxx…
By now everyone has at least started to look back at the year 2020. Not sure there are any best lists the year will fall on, but there is something that usually doesn’t make the lists that were a wonderful part of this last year. Time with ourselves. Chances are prior...
Looking Ahead into a Murky 2021
Since it’s the end of the year, everyone tends to take a look back and begin to think about what the next year might be like. Well, 2021 feels a bit overwhelming because everything is sooo different from a mere 12 months ago. I have a bit of trepidation when I think...
Selfish? What Does that Mean, Really?
The word selfish is such a loaded word. Every time I hear the word, there is something inside of me that immediately, without a skipped beat, says “I’m not selfish!” with such an emotional kick I can almost feel the punch in my chest. It’s an automatic response I have...
Thanksgiving 2020
Anything with 2020 in it automatically brings up Covid and all the shifts and downright big changes that have occurred in our lives in the last 9 months. Everything familiar simply has changed so much regardless of where you happen to be in the world. Thanksgiving is...
Are You Ready for New Beginnings?
