Why Are You Afraid of Self-Affirmation?
Over the years I’ve noticed an interesting pattern. Sometimes when a person wants to change a habit or a pattern, s/he is quick to self-judgment and is fearful – yes, fearful – of self-affirmation. Why in the world would anyone be afraid of affirmation? Fear of becoming complacent or lazy “If I acknowledge how successful […]
The Power of Curiosity
Several weeks ago I was interviewed by an author currently writing a book on curiosity. We had such a wonderful conversation that I wanted to share with you part of our discussion.

What is Good for Your Soul?
So, how are you doing with your new resolutions this year? Hmmm. Yup. Like most of us, you’re doing pretty well with some, not so well with others. Am I right? I suspect I’m right because . . . . . . that’s been my experience so far. I’ve been great with purging, organizing, and […]
Are You Just Being Too Sensitive?
“You’re just being too sensitive.” Perhaps. Often, however, these words are spoken by someone who’s actually . . . frustrated or afraid of your pain (or your anger).

In the midst of your work schedule, I’d like you to consider taking a quick break, putting on some music, or listening to some music in your own head, and letting yourself dance (move) for just 10 minutes. No need to call it exercise – call it play or relaxation, if you prefer. Besides reducing […]
