Last week I went to a class on mindfulness meditation. You might remember that learning how to meditate is something I’ve been interested in for awhile. You might also remember that learning how to meditate terrified me, because I was afraid of doing it wrong. Somehow, for me, meditation feels almost magical or mystical. And […]
Every so often I answer the phone here at Life Skills Resource Group Orlando to encounter someone who has been looking for help for awhile and just can’t seem to find the right resource. I can hear the confusion and desperation in their voices: their tone says “Please, won’t someone care enough to help me figure this out?” or “Please, […]
Absorbed Anxiety. Did you know this exists? Well, it does. Think about when you go to the airport. If you are anything like me, you walk in and are relaxed and excited about your trip. Everything seems normal, then, all of a sudden, worry you will be late or miss your plane consumes you even though […]
Every once in awhile it seems there’s something (a quote, a photo, an article, something a friend says…) that strikes you just right and sticks with you. Today I’d like to write about one of those things. Every week I hang a quote of the week in our waiting area. A few months ago I found […]
Here on Valentine’s Day, where the focus is so frequently on couples and romantic love, those of you who are single, in a long-distance relationship, far from friends, far from family, or otherwise alone might feel lonely.

Even positive […]

Making change is difficult! This week’s blog is going to try to make it easier for you! Last week we talked about […]
This busy time of year we’re not only preparing for the holidays, we’re also preparing for the end of 2013, and that means we’re preparing for the beginning of the New Year, 2014! The wonderful thing about a new year is a new start, the feeling that we have a clean slate and can make changes, […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about the upcoming holiday season. In this week of Thanksgiving I want to be present, thankful, focused on spending time with my loved ones. I’m finding myself also beginning to plan for gift-giving (and to realize I’m already behind…). My family celebrates Christmas, but maybe you’re thinking about Hanukkah (already […]
Last week I started to tackle the question “How do you know when to take a break and when to push yourself?“ As you may remember, so far I’ve come to the conclusion that we want to work and act at a level that is our best all the time. But, of course, it isn’t actually possible […]
