Have you ever experienced an ending and been plagued with unanswered questions?   Unanswered questions create an open loop in our brain that continues to spin until they are answered - we desperately want to close the loop and we call this CLOSURE.   We think that closure lives out of us.  We think that we need someone else to give us closure.  The secret to getting closure is that you don't...

How much time do you spend imagining your future self?  At a certain point, we stop dreaming about our future and we shift our focus to the past.  Our filter adjusts so that we only remember the highlight reel and relish the "good old days" more than we allow ourselves to imagine all of the goodness we could create in our remaining time on earth.   We think our future is limited by our p...

"We create our habits and our habits create our life" It's really true.  For better or for worse, the things you do every day are creating the quality of your life.   Our brain is wired for easy so we typically fall into our bad habits unintentionally but the good habits, that create and help us sustain health, have to be established and prac...

Lots of people have goals related to physical fitness and getting their body shape but what about your mind?  What about your mental fitness?   We live in our heads.  Our mental health is everything. Our mind and body are in service to each other and are reciprocal so we should spend at least as much time and effort engaged in practices and rhythms that help us increase our mental fitness.  In thi...

Your desires are the roadmap to the life your soul is longing for and the life you are meant to have .  Pursuing your desires is the key to unleashing your full capacity.   Every person comes hardwired with greatness inside of them but it’s raw and underdeveloped - we have to CHOOSE to develop it.  Most people don’t choose this because choosing it often feels like doubt, fear, and confusion.  Choo...

Have you ever heard the expression "it is what it is".  That's really true.  Circumstances are what they are - they aren't inherently good or bad - they just are.  They are, in effect, neutral.  We are the ones who label and categorize them with our thoughts, opinions, and judgments.  We don't always realize that our thoughts and opinions are optional but they are!  We can...
