The Un-Asked Question

The first agreement in Don Miguel Ruiz's The Four Agreements is, "Be impeccable with your word." If a child is consistently told they are amazing by their parents, that child will come to believe it.

Cheers! 🥂 Questions/Commen...

It all starts with perception – seeing things as they really are. Taking action and being patient is key as we work through the process. Even when it feels like nothing is working, we can use our determination to overcome challe...

Life is shaped by the stories we tell ourselves, whether based on reality or imagination. Our brains can't tell the difference between real and imagined.

Today I thought about how powerful small simple steps can be. We all have a plethora of tasks or goals that we are looking to accomplish. The challenge is usually a feeling of being overwhelmed by a combination of self-narratives, such as, "I can't do this," or, "This is too much." Everything can be broken down into small simple steps. The question to ask oneself is, "...

Today I thought about the question, am I the tool, or is this digital device the tool? Brian coach Jim Kwik shares the concept of digital distraction, in his book Limitless , which is pretty self-explanatory by the name.

Today, I reflected on my tendency to become defensive and what it reveals about myself. Simply put, I realized that there's no need to get defensive unless there is some truth to the criticism. This reminded me of the old saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." If I find myself getting defensive, I should take a moment to consider what truth migh...

Today, I was thinking about how I talk to myself and why it's important. If I am responsible for what I say to my inner child, why would I say anything that makes my inner child feel small? Your self-talk affects your thoughts, actions, and feelings, so it's important to use positive self-talk. Check out Dr. Joe Dispenza's book Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself The answer is in the...

"It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not" - Denis Waitley Today, I took some time to reflect on the limiting beliefs I have about myself, which are not actually true. To grow, it is important to understand the ways in which we might be holding ourselves back. The beliefs we hold about ourselves, in the form of thoughts, play a significant role...

Today, I've pondered the age-old question, "What's the big deal with mistakes anyway?" In my opinion, a mistake is just a fabulous way to find out what doesn't work. It's like a fun little game of trial and error! You get to say "Nope, not that way" and then try something totally different. It's like a treasure hunt for the right solution! The answer is in t...

Today, I was contemplating the significance of asking the question, "Why is this happening for me?" It's interesting that even as I was typing this, the spell check suggested changing "for" to "to" – 🤔. This question is a useful tool for cultivating gratitude. I picked up this simple technique from Michael Beckwith , and it really resonated with me. I encourage y...
