Anais Nin once wrote, “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage”. Seven ways to overcome fear which may be keeping you stuck and holding you back. Shine the light on your fear. Pinpoint the fear that’s plaguing you the most, hold it up to the light of your awareness. Ask yourself honestly: Is this thought really true? Can I know for sure? Is there another way of looking at this? What would the highest version of me say about this? Remember, the word thought is not synonymous with the word truth. Your thoughts are not necessarily true. Your true self is the ever-present observer who watches...
When it comes to what people think of you, it’s been said that “bad is stronger than good.” In a given day, if you hear ninety-nine compliments and one criticism, you know which one will be running through your head as you try to fall asleep that night. It’s normal to care what people think—most of us care deeply what the people we love, and respect think of us. It’s hard-wired. You want to be able to hear constructive criticism from people who matter to you while filtering out the gossips, mudslingers, and jealous jerks. Tip #1: Specify who you’re worried about. Our brains...

Part of the stress we have in life comes from the people we encounter and must deal with on a daily basis. When we think about those individuals, we may try to create scenarios in our heads for how we may or may not converse with them. We send ourselves into a tailspin of anxiety because we feel unequipped, and we fear the unknown. This, in turn, brings up a good point: reacting vs. responding. What’s the difference and which one helps us? Simply put, reacting means we’ve lost control of the situation and have given up our freedom to choose, but when we respond, we...
Pets teach us kindness and compassion. They love unconditionally. Pets are a beloved member of the family. This past weekend the love of my life, my baby Marley a Soft Coated Wheaton Terrier, went to doggie heaven to play with her pals. To once again be vibrant, alive, strong. Marley could run like the wind. She loved to play fetch. She loved hiking in the mountains with her pet coach and dog walkers, Aimee Madsen, Marianna Wilson and Trisha Anderson I grieve her loss yet celebrate her life and the love and companionship she gave me. Each time I walked in the door she would jump...

You are uniquely you. Dr. Seuss said, "Why fit in when you were born to stand out"? I love my perfect imperfections. I love myself for who and what I am. I was born with everything I need to be. When we don’t love ourselves, we don't feel worthy of love and we don't allow ourselves to be loved by others When we don’t love and accept ourselves fully, we can’t ever have a great relationship or a happy life. We can’t expect others to make us happy or fulfill us. We can only do that for ourselves. This makes us stronger, independent and self-reliant....
Tips for How to Stress Less and Avoid Burnout The term “Burnout” was first used in the 1970s by psychologist Herbert Freudenberger. Dr. Freudenberger who studied overworked professionals who were “burning out”. He found that these healthcare workers were working too long, not taking time off and were suffering as a result. This caused an array of symptoms such as headaches and body pains, insomnia and a variety of other physical troubles. This lack of balance in their lives leads to a withdrawal from family, friends and social life. The burnout sufferers became cynical, hopeless, helpless and depressed. Many also became addicted to...
I have this sign on my refrigerator, bathroom mirror, and phone to remind me that it is okay to say NO. Every time you say NO, you are really saying YES to something else you would prefer doing. Saying NO is a challenge for most people. Why is it so hard to tell someone NO? Is it because we feel guilty or like we are letting someone down? Or is it because we feel like we need to be Superwoman all the time? People want to be liked by everyone so often we take on more than we can handle. If we could say no...
