We all get upset at times. I also know that when I am upset having someone tell me “calm down” is the last thing I want to hear. It is almost as if everyone around you is cool and collected, except you. And for me, this makes me just want to explode because I cannot […]
This quote from Proschaska, Norcross and DiClemente’s book “Changing For Good” speaks words to what the process of change looks like for individuals – it is all based upon timing.

Now when I say criticism, I specifically mean constructive criticism, the kind someone who cares about you will give not the mean, nasty and humiliating kind. Often times we focus on accepting other’s criticism, but never think about […]
