Fighting reality is exhausting Any and every time that we think that someone or something should be different, anytime we think that we should be different, we are fighting reality. When we fight reality, we suffer. When we do this, we also create resistance. And, what we resist – persists. Instead, we need to make […]

Who says we have to listen?

Who says we have to listen? People share their opinions with us all the time and so often for some reason, we think we have to listen, value their opinions, and take their advice to heart. We don’t. I had 3 separate discussions with people today who were suffering tremendously because of what other people […]
Just Get Started

Just Get Started Just do something – no matter how small. Just get started. We often experience resistance to doing something which means that we have some sort of lousy, uninspiring, or limiting story about it. We can decrease that resistance by lowering the energy of activation (the amount of energy we need to spend […]

You Have Already Arrived People live so much of their lives thinking that they have not arrived yet – but that they will arrive when they are (fill in the blank) more successful, wealthier, skinnier, happier, etc. This is a lousy life strategy. First of all it creates a lot of suffering. “I’m not okay because I […]
Dominated By Time

Dominated By Time Any time that we are not experiencing lightness, ease, and joy in whatever we are doing, we are being dominated by time. And when we are being dominated by time, we naturally feel stress, pressure, and anxiety (usually because we think there’s not enough time) which makes us far less magnetic to […]
Twisted Logic

Twisted Logic I’m not worthy to get there because I have not gotten there yet! That sounds ridiculous! It is not logical. And – that twisted belief dominates many people’s lives. If that rings a bell with you – you have some letting go homework to do. (Thanks to Steve Johnsen for today’s Dose) Much […]
