Dr Seuss once wrote “You are the youiest you.” It’s a great phrase reinforcing there is no one else completely like you. In our relationships we forget that sometimes. We expect our children and partners to be as excited as us about something or respond just as quickly (or slowly) as we had hoped.  But they too are the “youiest,” versions of themselves. For our spousal, parenting, and even friends...

Every habit you have, good or bad, follows the same three-stage pattern. First, something reminds you have an action you’ve taken before which triggers the habit. Second is the route of the action – you’ve done this before; you can anticipate the reward. And third is the reward itself which create future anticipation.  With a bad habit that could unfold as you walk by the cupboard, spy a bag of ch...
