Let's get real.

Let's get real.

The Self-Help industry by 2020 was worth a whopping 29.99 BILLION dollars. Yes, that’s Billion, with a big ol’ “B”. The list of gurus seems endless. You’ve got everyone from Tony Robbins and Eckhar…

The short answer is yes. I know you may have had an strong reaction to that answer. "No way! I don't even take drugs!" You may have just had a similar thought pop up, but if you experienced a negative emotional reaction to what I just wrote then that is the problem I am talking about. Most people think of addicts as being addicted to food, illegal/legal drugs, s*x, alcohol, or smoking....

1. Gratitude: Choose some things or people that you have in your life, and say, I am thankful for fill in the blank. Say it out loud and go into what you feel. The feeling is more important than the words. 2. Forgiveness: Realize that you did the best you could do the day before, and continue with this same attitude the rest of your day....

You pull into the Kroger parking lot, ready to shop. But, you stop, struck by an odd site in the blue handicap space. It's a car, loaded to the brim with mail, 20 year old newspapers, and plethora of McDonald's extra large fountain drink cups. It can be hard to let go. I call this: Trimming the Fat. Sometimes a steak has way too much marbling and we must know when to slice that blubber in order get to the real meat of the meal....

Did you ever wonder how or why these moments happen? Where do they come from? Well, they happen in times of mental quietude. They seem to appear out of nowhere. That's because they need some space to be created. This is why people are stopped in their tracks before and after this spontaneous...ness. You may have noticed that an aha comes after a moment of shock, or when you are mentally exhausted....

1. Visit a therapist: If only to see who is behind the curtain. The more you know the less scary things will seem. 2. Turn off the screens: Choose a day to abstain from looking at TV's, computers, cell phones etc. Anything with a glowing surface that blathers on and on is strictly prohibited. It isn't called an idiot box for nothing....

Have you ever felt the pain of doing something wrong that you knew was wrong long before you did it? You knew it was wrong before, during and after your action and you wondered how you could keep making the same undesired choice again and again. This dilemma presented in a client that sobbed as she explained her choice to be promiscuous even though she was repulsed by her choice to indulge in the risky behavior....

I sit in my studio late at night. Ideas roam through my mind as I search for solutions and think of creative ideas to introduce to the world. But there’s a voice in the room. It speaks softly, sometimes in whisper, sometimes in echo, but it’s there… nagging me. Reminding me: “Play it safe” “Don’t take the risk” “Follow in the footsteps already laid on the path”...

How often have you been in a situation at work that made you want to immediately quit? Maybe it was office politics from your colleagues. Maybe it was a verbal berating by a manager, after given a task with little resources to succeed. Either way, you feel like you are being set up to fail. And you tell yourself: “I want out of this!”...

This morning, I received a call. (111) 111-11… you guessed it… 11. This was a telemarketer who hung up barely 1 second after his first ring. A few hours later, I received a call from a (248) number. They leave a voicemail and I listen. The voice starts off friendly enough. I’m told he’s an old friend and we haven’t spoken in a long time....

Emotions are where we can get stuck. We become them instead of experiencing them. We create an environment for which they can linger longer than needed. When you are in a state of confusion, struggling to comprehend this sudden turn of events, you begin to dig a mental ditch. We don't know what to do with it. Instead of feeling whole we just feel the hole....

Today, I quit my toxic office job. It’s funny, because for the last 3 years, I was always afraid that I would be fired. I did everything in my power to keep this job, and in the end, when I was summoned to my manager’s office, it was my decision to leave. To be honest, that was the best decision of my life....

When you’re ready to quit the job you were afraid to lose…
