We spend most of our days doing similar routines—waking at the same time, eating the same breakfast, doing similar tasks at work, communicating with the same people, wearing the same outfits, and watching the same TV shows. And on it goes. When we make our routines and habits effortless, it can help us to feel…

A victim, according to Webster’s dictionary, is a person who has been attacked, injured, robbed, killed, cheated, or fooled by someone else, or harmed by an unpleasant event.

I am writing this from a basis of my truth, something that is deeply true to my beliefs and understanding of the world and also knowing that this is not a place or a belief for many people. (It maybe wiser for some to stop reading now…) I believe that sickness nearly always has a deep emotional…
Feeling Stuck?
Have you been feeling stuck, unable to move forward in important areas of your life? That’s rough. I’ve been there. In the decade after college, there were long seasons when I felt the gap between who I was and who I wanted to be wasn’t shrinking nearly as fast as I wanted. The worst part…
Gratitude: The Key to Being Satisfied
“The grass is always greener on the other side,” we’re told when a situation or season of life leaves us feeling discontent. Believing that someone else has it better or that better days are ahead of us, we strive to pursue greater opportunities or nicer things. If our circumstances were different, we would be happier….
The BodyMind Concept: Two Surprising Tips to Heal Your Body with Your Mind
I remember once feeling like I was offering my patients a warm, nurturing hug when I would give them a diagnosis, or confirm it, after a consultation. “It’s the nature of Bipolar Disorder,” I would say “…it’s just part of your lineage, a brain chemistry condition, that thankfully, we can manage if you stick with…
Self-Awareness: The First Step to Self Mastery
Being in tune with your emotions may sound straightforward, but it isn’t. For example, have you ever found yourself irritated by a person that has literally done nothing more than ask you how your day was? Many people overestimate their level of self-awareness. Even people who think they’re in touch with their emotions—perhaps they cry…
To Break Unhealthy Habits, Stop Obsessing Over Willpower
If you’re like many Americans, you probably start your day with a cup of coffee—a morning latte, a shot of espresso, or maybe a good ol’ drip-brew. A common explanation among avid coffee drinkers is that we drink coffee to wake ourselves up and alleviate fatigue. But that story doesn’t completely hold up. After all,…
Research Finds Benefits of Guilt and Confession
Guilt plays a role in whether admitting to a lapse in self-control helps us resist temptation in the future or makes us more likely to give in again, according to new research. We’ve all slipped up when we’re trying to improve ourselves, perhaps by eating better or spending more wisely, and sometimes when we do,…

A goal is any outcome in your life that wouldn’t happen without an intervention. It’s a detour from the path of least resistance. Maybe you recognize that your current habits aren’t cutting it. You have greater ambitions for your life than the trajectory your current behaviors have you on. You’re going to need to change…
