The most valuable but least expensive gift you can give to others or to yourself is presence. That means being “in the moment.” Simple, right? Not really. Most of us spend our time in the past or the future. We find it challenging to be in the present. That’s why people practice mindfulness. It’s their […]

With the new year just around the corner, many people turn their attention to goal setting and making resolutions. That’s awesome, but most of those who go through this annual exercise don’t achieve their goals or keep their resolutions.

I used to have a green thumb. More recently, the plants inside and outside my house seem to wither and die no matter what I do (or don’t do). I have to admit that I give my plants less attention than they need to grow and thrive. But let me turn that into a metaphor

Two weeks ago, a stray cat showed up in our driveway. We live in the mountains, and many people own “outdoor” or “barn” cats. We found his owners quickly, and they picked him up. “He’s a couch surfer. He’ll go wherever someone will give him food,” they said. “Plus, we have two new kittens, and

At the end of life, will you look back and ask, “What if…”? What if I had written and published that book? What if I had started that membership program? What if I had asked for a divorce? What if I had invested that money? What if I had said, “I love you.” What if

When someone is unhappy, it’s a human tendency to align your emotional state with theirs. And when a situation is challenging or upsetting, you’re taught to sync your emotions with those suffering. If you feel happy instead, you’ll likely be judged as unfeeling, self-centered, or lacking in compassion. However, you don’t have to be unhappy,

Have you ever felt as if you had a lead weight tied around your ankle? You want to move forward with your life, but it’s as if something super heavy keeps you tethered to the spot where you stand. No matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to make any progress. That weight isn’t

Challenge. It’s a human drive—one some people don’t bother to activate except under duress. But without challenge, you don’t live fully. You don’t feel the sense of commitment to growth, the excitement of taking on something new, or the gratification and confidence that comes from doing something outside your comfort zone. Without challenge, you don’t

If you’ve hung around in any kind of metaphysical, New-Agey, woo-woo circles, you’ve probably heard the saying, “The universe has your back.” And if you’ve been following me for any length of time, you know I have repeated the very same words. But the saying isn’t true…not really. When someone says, “The universe has your

You’re not good enough. You’re fat. You’re unlovable. You’re a failure. You can’t do it. You’ll never get it right. You’re stupid. Do you repeatedly say these—or similar—things to yourself?

The child’s adage, “Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me,” is 100 percent false. Few of us are strong enough to un-hear what people say to us. We are likely to forget the positive things people say, but we remember the negative ones forever. And these shape how we
