The wrong to-do list  The temptation is to fill our schedules with action items that are in our comfort zone. This gives us a mock sense of accomplishment because we can point to all that we got done. But ultimately, this doesn’t support us in becoming the person we want to be or in achieving […]

We get to choose between the comfortableness and familiarity of the status quo or the discomfort and unfamiliarity of better. Which do you choose – in theory and in reality?

Reaching out when we don’t want to So often we don’t reach out for support at those very times that we need it the most. When this happens, we are believing some lousy story in our heads – things like: I don’t want to be an inconvenience, it would be embarrassing if people knew what […]

(dis) R…E…S…P…E…C…T  There are two flavors of upset: you hurt my feelings and you dissed me ~ disrespected, dishonored, disapproved, discounted, disregarded, devalued, wasted my time, disloyal.
