“My low self esteem…

Is at an all time high”. Ever think that way? Well, it’s better than being at an all time low. But in either case, it shows that our self esteem is “range bound”. To break out of our self esteem “range”, we need to think more like everyone else does…about us. “Most people think more… Read more »

It’s interesting…

How some folks turn out the same as their parents, and some don’t. I know of one “parent” that never keeps his word, rarely works and is a poor role model for his kids. One of his kids is pretty much the same, and defends his “deal” as having a poor upbringing and a bad role… Read more »

What’s you’re Plan?

Writing, posting or displaying affirmations will be a great reminder on what your plan is. What helped me long ago, when I used to eat until I was stuffed was “Just like the ships that go out to sea, I push my plate away from me”. Yeah, corny, but it worked. Other examples are: “I… Read more »

There is only one color red…

But a world of different shades. The same goes with the people in our lives – they may be limited in number, and we see them as one “color”, but what are the different “shades” that make them up? What are their dreams? What’s their favorite movie or book and why? If they could do… Read more »

When we can’t seem to…

What happened?

I was “Fresh” this morning? Yes, straight out of bed and into the shower, clean clothes and your battery fully charged to meet the day with considerable relish! Then as the day goes on, things start to drag a bit, and at bedtime, you are fully shot? Just the way things go. It would be… Read more »

Stress???

Light stress or stress in short duration can actually be good for us, as our body has the ability to “recover” and become stronger. But continued stress, with out relief, can breakdown even the strongest. There are a lot of things in life you may need to stress about but there are so many more… Read more »
