Want to create your best life after therapy? These posts will help with tools, strategies, and ideas to create the type of life you’ve worked so hard for. (That includes just wanting to be happier and have more fun!)
Creating a Gratitude Practice
Do you want to feel more joy? Less stress? More connected? More optimistic? Do you want better relationships, boosted immunity, better sleep and a stronger heart? Do you want to experience a spontaneous desire to exercise more? If I offered you all of this for free and said it only required a commitment of about […]
Ready for a Restful Evening?
Do you ever find yourself lying in bed, unable to sleep, with hundreds of thoughts flying through your mind? Or, you fall into bed immediately after performing your last chore for the evening and passing out? Neither one of these are exactly restful. It’s time to change that. This week, I’m inviting you to try […]
Ready for a Better Start?
Have you heard of Clocky, the alarm clock that leaps off your nightstand after you hit snooze twice and rolls around until you chase it down and turn it off? (I’m not kidding!) That thing is designed for people like me – night owls who would really prefer to wake naturally at noon, but still […]
Do This to Reach Your Goals
This month’s book review is on Darrin Wiggins’ How To Set Goals: Your Goal Setting Bible For Maximum Personal Achievement; I confess that I did not love this book, though there were many wonderful things about it. It’s really hard for me to identify with a book with a sample ten year vision that includes […]
What Do You Really Want?
Sakichi Toyoda, founder of Toyota industries, came up with the concept of “the 5 whys” – asking why five times in order to drill down to the heart of a problem. We use this tool in life coaching too, and usually find that by the time you get to the fifth why, you have the […]
Are You Failing? Try This to See Why
You might be familiar with this story: you create your vision. You create goals to support that vision. Then, you do absolutely nothing related to that goal or vision, except feel vaguely bad about not moving towards it. Welcome to the club. I cannot tell you the number of times I have done this. Often, […]
Are You Who You Want to Be? Three Steps for Getting There
Have you noticed the onslaught of pumpkin flavored items? Do you feel that amazing, crisp bite in the air that signals that fall is nearly here? I seriously wish I felt that crisp bite; though it’s scheduled to be nearly 100 degrees here in Los Angeles as I publish this, I’m still determined to feel […]
It’s All Too Much: All Hail the Genius of Peter Walsh!
Clutter is a problem for nearly everyone – one many of us have been trying to solve for years, often by using the latest organizational tool or system. If you’re like me, you’ve found that no tool really cuts it, and the only thing that has any real impact long term is getting rid of […]
Who’s Living in Your Closet?
I’m sure you’ve heard the idea that it takes less than thirty seconds to form a first impression of a person, including assumptions about their career, education level, personality, sophistication and trustworthiness. That’s a lot to gather in thirty seconds, and often, we’re completely wrong. That does not stop us from making them, though, nor […]
Taking a Clear Look at Your Finances
This might be a tough week, as we are applying our Clear Sight theme to money by taking a clear look at your finances. Most of us try to hide from money and not look at it, because it can bring with it a lot of fear. Though I know this is going to be […]
