Non-conscious allowing We allow struggle, frustration, anxiety, and limitation in our lives. Of course, we don’t do this consciously or intentionally. But through our non-conscious programming, through the meanings we have attached to life experiences (both consciously and non-consciously), and through other head trash, we do allow these things in our lives. The great news […]
Willingness
May 3, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Willingness Willingness doesn’t get attention, credit, and appreciation it deserves. Nothing changes without willingness. Over the years I’ve met plenty of people who were not willing, and their lives were a mess: Not willing to forgive Not willing to let go of the past Not willing to give up being hurt and being a victim […]
Quit deserving. Start allowing.

Quit deserving. Start allowing. Any time that we have thoughts about worthy or deserving, there’s a 100% chance that we are caught up in some head trash. Imagine sitting in a coffee shop furiously wondering if you deserve to get a cup of coffee. Do you need to get someone’s approval first? Is it possible […]

And consequently, […]

Escaping the double bind
April 24, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Escaping the double bind A double bind is a situation where neither option is desirable, either way we lose. Our thinking often puts us into double binds. I can either be a good parent or have a successful career. This double bind has me choosing between being a bad father or being a bad […]
You are pretty good

You are pretty good I recently had someone tell me that I’m a pretty good volleyball player. That made me think – compared to what? Compared to backyard BBQ jungle ball players, I’m amazing. Compared to the guys on the Olympic team, I’m horrible. I’m a better player than some of the guys that I […]
The elephant in the personal growth room

The elephant in the personal growth room The thing that does not get spoken about in personal growth circles is that being a human is a very complicated thing. It can be hard. There are so many non-conscious agendas and emotional hot buttons pushing and pulling us that we often end up in our own […]
