Our relationship with NO is directly related to how our life is going.  Saying NO means someone else might not like it, or saying NO might mean we don't get what we want. Here is an idea. Practicing saying NO a lot in the next few days. Just say NO. Decided...

Happy Monday! Today we celebrate the 4th as a national holiday! What is  your favorite 4th of July celebration?

Self effacing is a term used when we are telling a story and spin it to  make ourselves look good. We all do that. We leave out details or move  the story to be in our best interest. Sometimes we need to say what  actually happened. LIke Goerge Washington said "I did cut down that  tree." Do you leave out details or make the story about them and not  you, when it was reall...

Three things to change your life in one year. 1. Think who you want to  be not who you are for three to five min every morning! 2. Change up  your morning routine every 60 - 90 days, move away from the mundane and  boring routines that stagnate like the same food, same medications, and  same exercise routine 3. Write out your day, journal and think about  what you are doin...

I have a promise for you!  This is an absolute. I promise. If you change your daily routine, your morning routine to include three things, in  ONE YEAR life will be different!

Think for a moment about your heart. What does your heart say?  Does it say "I love you?" Does it say "I am so happy!" Does it say "LIfe  is hard?" Does it say "I am living the life I want to live?" Does it  say"I am sad?" Buried inside you is the real you, the person that was born pure,  innocent, and alive. Listen to your heart, and if it says you are sad, then do not say you...

 you have an innocence on the inside of you that is so endearing. This is how children are so loveable.

What is ONE thing you can change about yourself? We have been focused on  the gap between who we are and how others experience you. Do you need  to be less judgmental, sarcastic, or less jealous? Becoming the person  you want to begins with changes. What do you want to change about  yourself?    https://tinyurl.com/y4kropz2 I love you I'm Dan Clark

Is there some aspect of your personality that you are hiding from others? That is called being incongruent. Are you jealous or judgmental or sarcastic?  The gap between who we are and what others see means we are not being authentic. Getting rid of the judgment, sarcasm, and jealously creates a very healthy transparent person, closing the gap on who you are and who you want to be. &...

How would your close friends and family members describe you? We can't really see ourselves well, and how others describe us, not their judgment or put-downs, but what they truly see in you is important. The gap between who we are and what others are experiencing in our behavior means we are not the person they see.  What are they noticing is important to know, so you can become like the...

NO, I said no. Just because I said so. That doesn't work very well in a  quality conversation. Defending or explaining a no creates drama. A  reason is simple and to point. A reason would be "because it's best for  all of us" or "I don't want to." Defending or explaining with a lot of  words brings about drama.  Quality conversations include a reason for the NO. Pract...

Have you ever hummed while someone was talking to you? I am working with  a couple and he was humming while she was talking Not very effective  communication. She kept repeating the same thing in different words and  he was just done with the conversation. We have all been there, done  with the current conversation . Quality conversations get to the point  quickly. Researc...

Listening is not an easy skill for most of us. Great listeners are not thinking of a reply while the other person is talking. Great  listeners allow the other person to finish talking completely. Silence  is your friend, in all conversations. Talking less and listening more  and allowing for moments of silence improve the quality of  conversations. Take a 2 sec break between re...

I didn't  like the outcome, but I am grateful for what I am leavning. What are you  learning in life and how are more grateful for the expereince?    https://tiny...

We are practicing greatfullness this  week.  What I do have and am grateful for is more effective than  thinking about what I...
