When you want to change your habitual reactions, you must first do this one thing. In today’s blog, I explore what that is.

Our reactions when faced with a frustrating situation can become habits. Sometimes we’re happy with those habits. Sometimes, not so much. How do you change them?

We contribute to the joy (or lack of) of our environments with words, intonation, and attitude. What are you contributing?

Sometimes habits, even good ones, lose their value at different points of life. Is it time to evaluate some of yours?

Are you finding the return to in-person life a challenge but don’t really understand why? Maybe this is your answer.

There are many reasons one might find themselves resisting the call to engage in complete self-care, i.e., self-care the goes, “beyond the massage.” In part IV of this series, I share another reason for resistance.

In the third segment of this series, I talk about another reason it can be challenging to take care of ourselves in ways that go “beyond the massage.”

Self-care is important and lots has been written about it.

What is one, sometimes challenging, step you must take before you engage in self-care?

When you seek to engage in clear and complete communication, it’s important to be aware of how you are filtering the messages.

Whether we're connecting with our own thoughts or communicating with others, there are key components to address. Be sure you don't miss this one.

You established goals and set some plans for yourself. You're more than ready to move forward with them. Then there's an interruption.

How do you manage the interruption?

In this post, I share some of my own story and what I did to handle the interruptions without losing my way.

Precedent is a term typically reserved for legal matters. But we all set precedents in our relationships. In this post, I share one from my own life and what it taught me. Does this story resonate with you?
