Development tools for a better you
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by emotion? Have you ever been so angry, sad, or worried you felt like you just couldn’t think? Or your thinking was happening, but it all felt really fast, out-of-control, and going in an even more emotional direction? Or have you reacted in a way that (in hindsight) you think […]
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 […]
So, you want to make a New Year’s resolution? You want to make a change in your life? Everyone’s statistics are different, but we know that most New Year’s resolutions don’t happen. Why? Making change is difficult! This week’s blog is going to try to make it easier for you! Last week we talked about […]
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 […]
I don’t know about you, but life is busy! When you’re trying to balance work, school, relationships, family, friends, running, eating well, (insert your own activities here…), and, what? Taking care of myself? Uff. It is difficult to know which way to turn! It is difficult to feel like I’m doing a good job! Where […]
In continuing our series Music for Your Life, today I have a sweet song for you. It is called First Day of My Life and is by Bright Eyes. What makes this song so sweet, in my mind, isn’t necessarily the words, though they’re sweet too. What is so wonderful about this song is the […]
Today I’m thinking of the song Winding Road by Bonnie Somerville. You may remember it from the movie Garden State (an awesome movie and one of the best movie soundtracks I know!). Don’t know it and you’re saying to yourself “I don’t know that song, so I’m not going to listen”? Well, I have two […]
How do you feel about music? Do you have a favorite type of music? Is the music you listen to when you’re happy different from the music you listen to when you’re sad? Do you use music to relax? Although we may not think of it very often, music is very important to us as […]
This post about acceptance has been rankling around in my brain for weeks now. Funny, because I think that’s kind of what happens when we need to accept something (it takes time and isn’t quite what we expect). Recently I posted about perception and promised a post on how to change your perception. I think […]
