Studies show that most people spend 2 hours a day spending time worrying about relationships, finances, health etc., but 85–90% of things people worry about do not come true. For example: you may have an argument with your significant other, but you don’t break up. You may have not done as well as you would like on a presentation, but you are not fired. Mark Twain says “I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened." So let's discuss...

Do you ever feel like every part of you wants to move forward, break out of a rut. Like you’re tired of the same old, same old. You may even be bored with yourself!!  Then there are those feelings of being sorry for yourself – "what’s wrong with me," "everyone else is getting ahead," "it’s embarrassing, what am I doing wrong?"  You’re not doing anything wrong – you just need a fresh perspective and to try something new. Today we’re talking...

Acknowledge and Fight the Stigma – A recent NPR interview with Author and Professor Dr. Anthony Rostain discusses the burgeoning mental health epidemic on college campuses.  A record number of students are feeling anxious and find it difficult to get help even though they know it is available.  In some cases students might even be adamantly against it.  Why?  Well the reasons vary but one stands out - denial or procrastination.  Only 1 in 4 students get the...

Let’s understand what anger is...

Anger is part of our emotional vocabulary.  Maybe you’ve felt anger towards yourself, a family member, colleague, partner, the dog, traffic, the state of the world (who hasn't....).  There are many degrees of anger ranging from frustration to white hot rage.

So wonderful to have Dr. Kristin Neff to speak about self-compassion.

1. Heart wisdom - Ask what if? 

There's a story of a student and a master. One day, the student asks his master the purpose of his life. She answers, "Only you can find that, but knowing of your purpose is not found in your mind, but rather in your heart. 

"If you knew, right now, that you were going to die tomorrow, what would you most regret that you had not accomplished?"

He responded that he would regret not making peace with his family and not creating his own center for...

Everyone faces times when life presents challenges:

• Maybe, you are starting a new job or ending an old one
• Maybe a relationship you’ve depended on feels strained
• Maybe some health issues are cropping up and you are worried
• Maybe a family member is so emotional you don’t know what to do
• Or it could be the daily things – like stuck in traffic, lost phone, a friend cancels

What do these all have in common?

You are expecting a certain result, and it’s not...

Let’s start with one thing – self-care is not selfish. It’s one of the best preventative wellness strategies you can ever find – why? Burnout can happen – whether you are running your own life, a family or a movement, just as you have to take care of a car so it doesn’t break down, you have to take care of your own vehicle, which is created to take you where you want to go…if you look after it!

So what’s gets in our way?

• Do you ever feel like...

The definition of Overwhelm: “feeling completely overcome in mind or emotion.” Maybe we have too much on our plate, maybe the to-do list is ridiculously long, maybe we’ve packed on too many “shoulds” in there. We stress about feeling stressed! But with overwhelm, there’s also the feeling of lack of control, and lack of clarity – we’re going to address those with two strategies to help you move forward.
