But others will feel bad “It is not okay for me to do well, get what I want, be happy, have a great relationship, have a thriving business, get skinny, etc. because then someone else (or someone in specific) will feel bad by comparison.” This little piece of head trash is very common and very […]

Crocodile Water aka how our brains work Imagine that you live in the jungle and you have to walk to the river every day to fetch water. There is a well-worn path to the watering hole. However, the water there isn’t the clearest or the freshest. Even worse, there is a crocodile that lives there […]
