Restorative and Expansive Whether we call it personal growth work, law of attraction work, or renewing our minds – there are two types of work, restorative and expansive. An effective program includes both. Restorative work is about uncovering the lies, upgrading the limiting beliefs, and breaking free from our “less than” identity. We are working […]
Guilt is not a success strategy

Guilt is not a success strategy The illusion is that if I feel guilty about something, it will help me to change, to not do that thing again, or to do better next time. It won’t! Not a chance! That is not the way the brain works. Whatever we continually impress upon our brains basically […]

August 18, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Forgiving Ourselves Nobody wakes up in the morning and sets out to sabotage themselves, make mistakes, or make poor decisions. But all those things are part of being human. They happen whether we like it or not. So making peace with this is very important. Even more important is having the grace to forgive ourselves. […]

(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. This Dose addresses being dissed. Being dissed usually creates resentment and anger. It can also easily lead to a decrease of action and a “why bother” attitude. We […]

Upgraded Instant Replay In volleyball you can play far better defense if you watch the hitter’s arm rather than the ball. When you do this, you can tell how hard they are hitting and where they are hitting before they ever hit the ball. If you watch the ball, you can only tell these things […]

Getting Honest With Ourselves Imagine going to a networking event (or a social event) and introducing yourself like this: I’m the kind of person who puts things off until later rather than doing them now. I’m the kind of person who makes excuses rather than doing the important things that I don’t feel like doing. […]
Coach gets his buttons pushed and pushes back

Coach gets his buttons pushed and pushes back I’ve been thinking all day about a facebook thread I read this morning. It is a great case study. The volleyball coach made a substitution. The substitute promptly served into the net. The player who had been subbed for said, “seriously” and the coach heard her. She […]
Speak nicely and see the best in others
February 11, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Speak nicely and see the best in others When we gossip, complain, or criticize we bring our own energy down. We close our hearts. We make ourselves less magnetic to our good. We deactivate the happiness advantage. We end up giving our energy, focus, and attention to what we do not want instead of what […]
