Take the Time?

Whatever we’ve planned, mapped out or look forward to, we need to remember to take the time, to take it all in. The journey is usually 95% of the trip, so why spend and the enjoying for the end? Whether we have a family, or a business that we are tending to, as it grows,… Read more »

Remember, not getting…

What we want, just may be a blessing in disguise. If we got everything we wanted, we would just be wanting more, and that isn’t really the best thing for our us. We may even know someone who gets everything they want – more often than not, they don’t have to do much to improve… Read more »

The “Latte Effect”

What is it?? It’s the “Silent drain” of your money. It’s when you buy a latte for $4 and a muffin for $3 while you’re at it. That’s only $7 a day but over a month it’s $210. In coaching, I have found that most of the time the “Latte Effect” is usually spent on… Read more »

Sometimes, we need to…

“Soak” it all in. Not to “zone out” but to “zone in”. We all need to “soak” on, the big picture of what has been going on in our lives, and to make a check list of what has worked and what hasn’t. And within the process, we need to “zone in” on what we… Read more »

Vitamin C…

Some of the most widely available plant sources of vitamin C are available in the winter months…a surprise? Not really. When the days are shorter and the climate colder, we need something to help us fight the common cold and help our cell walls stay strong while reducing capillary fragility. Vitamin C also helps us… Read more »

Emotions…

Occasionally, people come to my office “mad” over what someone did or said to them. “He made me mad”… Or was it…Your “reaction” to him that made you mad? In reality, no one has control over your emotions, except yourself, so ultimately…was it really “him” or “you” that made the emotion? – Dr. Vik, The… Read more »

We are what we….

Repeatedly do. You see, our habits, patterns and routines, are soon put into the form of “software” that is put into our subconscious, and is activated when we start to perform the repeated act. It is our subconscious that plays a big role in what we repeatedly do, which saves our conscious brain to deal… Read more »

Constant Growth?

Not really – Growth comes in cycles. In humans, it takes years to grow and it comes in cycles known as growth spurts, and the in between times, the body is adapting to what has been achieved. In nature, things grow in seasons and not non-stop. In life, we can’t always be growing and taking… Read more »

Many of us that…

Are Super Optimistic…need to get hit in the head a little harder than ones who are not. When we are not too optimistic, we can get hit or just bumped a bit by an obstacle and we change course, as we expect things not to go too smoothly and we are trained to changed direction… Read more »

Need a little pick me up?…

We all do from time to time. Thoughts precede emotion, but we can always work up some emotion to spark our thoughts. This is what we do in our family: We slap your hands and then rub them together like we are going to start a fire, or we rub our hands together and then… Read more »
