A Mistake is just a Mistake I was playing jacks with my son the other day and each time he got out he said, "I'm so bad." After hearing it the fourth time I said to him, "No you're not. You just got out. What does making a mistake and getting out have to do with being bad?" I thought...[ read more ]

Bursting the Balloon ​It never ceases to amaze me how I could be experiencing an intense emotion in one moment (and in all honesty, I can't say I see that thought has anything to do with the intensity of the emotion in that moment) and then five minutes later, an hour later, a day later it just vanishes and something...[ read more ]

Breaking Free from Imprisoning Thoughts How many of us have beliefs that limit us and we don't even know it? Thoughts such as, "I don't have enough time," "it shouldn't be this way" or "I can't take it anymore!" Imagine this scenario. The clock reads 6:31 PM.

Thoughts are like the rains... Recently my son was explaining to me how the water cycle works.

We each have the capacity to be like a Jack-in-the-Box... I met with a friend for coffee the other day and I was enthusiastically sharing the opportunity we each have to be psychologically free. How many of us have beliefs that limit us and we don't even know it? Thoughts like "I can't," "Not me," "it's not my personality or...[ read more ]

Even comic books have a lesson to teach us... Did you ever see a cartoon where they have a thought bubble above someone's head? In the animation cartoon on my website you can see one. We are like those cartoon characters and those bubbles are always popping in our mind and new ones are being created. The content of those...[ read more ]

Look Up! ​I was away last week skiing with my family for winter break and the lodge didn't have internet, so I couldn't send out the newsletter.
