How Do I Stop My Thinking? Here is an exercise I got from a friend. Close your eyes. When you open them take 30 seconds to look around the room and notice everything that you see that is red. Close your eyes again. Now answer the question. What did you see that was blue? This exercise practically shows that if...[ read more ]

Is Thinking Addictive? Do you ever feel like you are addicted to your thinking? (Thank you Lisa for this question) Like you want to stop, but you feel compelled to keep thinking, worrying and ruminating about whatever is on your mind.

Embrace the Struggle ​Feeing depressed, marital issues, a difficult child, illness, a messy house, a controlling person in your life, not getting your way....

I thought to myself, isn't that odd? Missing home and your parents is the most natural and healthy thing in the world. Who came up with diagnosing that...[ read more ]

Can I Handle Discomfort? I took away something from my son this week that I hadn't had the gumption to do sooner.

Recharging Your Battery​ As this holiday season came to an end, I felt like I was on empty.

So I decided to go on strike (as my husband called it when I refused to...[ read more ]

Seeing G-d's Hand in my Life The Passover holiday is about seeing G-d's hand in our lives. Feeling as if we are being hand-held as we are brought from our own personal form of bondage (addiction, compelling thinking, limiting beliefs, difficult circumstances, ego) to redemption (freedom from our enslaved minds and our egos).
