What do you do to feel inspired? My clients often tell me they desire something SO MUCH, but they just can’t seem to find the motivation. I know exactly what they mean, and I also know the secret to changing it. I remember a few years ago, one of those (many) times I was living in …

I won’t lie, living where the sun comes out everyday can be a little distracting for me in the work department! Since I’m working mostly from home, I have further distractions (laundry, Hulu, etc.). I’ve got a good system going now–early morning client, go for a walk, cup of coffee, work… yoga, friends, etc. I …

Remember the old days when TVs didn’t have remotes? I remember when we first got a cable box that sat on top of the TV–it had a dial, and you had to get up to change it. I’m not sure when remotes appeared, but I sure don’t know anyone without one now! How torturous would …

Change can be hard. It’s usually hard when we are trying to push ourselves and force ourselves to fit a mold or improve ourselves in a certain way that (1) we’re not ready for or (2) we’re doing for the wrong reasons or (3) we just don’t have the drive for. It really all seems …
This post is a spin-off of Supersize Your Cup, and the topic was one of the suggestions I made for increasing your capacity to make room for healthier habits in your life. Most of the time, Making Ourselves Happy is not at the top of our To-Do List. How did the world (our culture) come …
