Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness

Are you looking to others for validation, love and respect? When you get it, it feels great, doesn’t it? How about when you say something and expect a positive response, but are met with a flat or negative reply? Not so good, right? And then how do you feel? Less than? Hurt? Angry? Defensive? Maybe a little bit of all of that? Do you know why you feel that way? Because you gave your power away. It...

What do you deserve? Really think about the things you want in life and then ask yourself, “do I deserve this?” You might feel like you don’t deserve to reach your dreams – have the house you want, or the partner you want or the children you want – and you would be wrong. You deserve everything your heart can find to want, and more. You are probably the main person standing in your way to feeling...

Do you have to deal with someone who’s difficult? Maybe angry, defensive, egotistical, greedy – whatever they are, they just suck the life out of you? Instead of dreading your interactions with them, try this – feel compassion for them. Can you imagine going through life knowing that people don’t like you very much? And believe me, they know! Think of them as kind of broken, because in a way they...

Choices, choices, choices – do you have a tough time making choices?  Do you put off making a choice hoping the “right” choice becomes obvious? Not making a choice is actually a choice – you’re choosing to let the universe or higher power or whoever you’ve given the power to take care of it. When you make a choice, it’s just a choice for now. You can always make another choice later. Take the...

Do you think you can or worry that you can’t? When you worry about whether you can do something, it slows you down. Instead of using energy on worry, use it to look up what you need to know to feel more confident. Then you’ll learn, grow and achieve instead of worry. And that sounds a lot more fun, right?  Want More?   Click here   for free access to the Happiness is an Inside Job a...

Do you ever feel like a chameleon – you know, like you have to change yourself to fit in with those around you?  If you’re working with or living with people you believe you have to hide your true self from, that has to feel really bad, and maybe even scary sometimes. It might feel hard, but you have to be true to you – don’t trade away your authenticity for the approval of others. Be you – y...

Self-confidence is something a lot of people struggle with – you, too, sometimes? We are usually much harder on ourselves than on the people in our lives. That’s a habit developed in childhood and it doesn’t serve us well at all – listening to all that negative self-talk in your head guts your self-confidence. Try this to build yourself back up – once a day, focus on something that you did really...

Do you ever look at other veterinarians and think they’re so much more together than you are? You never know what’s going on inside another person’s head, heart and life, though as humans, we like to think we know. We don’t. What looks calm, cool and collected on the outside could be full of conflict and consternation on the inside. You can admire someone and want to be like them – just beware of...

It can be very difficult to create a new habit, no matter how much you want to do it. Check out this idea that could help. Are you trying to develop a new habit and it’s not happening?  If creating a new habit in your life is hard, make it easier to do by being consistent. If it’ll be a daily habit, do it every day. Weekly habit? Set a reminder on your smart speaker and let her boss you aroun...

Drivers can be SO annoying...here's how to not let them get to you. Do you get irritated at other drivers when you’re driving? I look out the window and sometimes see the driver in the car beside us yelling and pounding on his steering wheel. Scary!! Humans take things so personally sometimes – if you get mad at other drivers, you might be thinking things like, “he just cut me off!!” or “they’re s...
