Stress Relief Tip: How to Be Proactive and Reactive to Stress!
What’s more useful in responding to stress-a proactive or a reactive response? Actually, it’s both! What’s important is to find healthy proactive responses and healthy reactive responses.

It’s been a while!
Before I tell you about the “Mind Movie,” I created, I first have to tell you: I’m a bit embarrassed. I have been so focused on other things that I missed sending out an e-zine in April. I almost didn’t get one out for May, but there’s still a few days left, so whew, I made it! Has this ever happened to you: You know you need to do something that’s important to you, but somehow it keeps falling down on the list of things to do? What’s interesting, is this is similar to the…

We have become a culture that despises having any space or free time. We tend not to admire those who have time on their hands, because instead we value productivity. Do you find yourself doing that? Do you measure your day by how “productive” you were? What if you weren’t living with every moment of every day planned out? What if every single…
It’s Almost Spring!
Here we are already looking Spring in the face, although, I imagine for many of you in other parts of the country it can’t come soon enough! I love this time of the year! It feels so enlivening! I become more mindful and in awe of Mother Nature’s presence, as I look around and see how beautifully she creates. The “space” of winter, where Mother Nature takes a breather, and it appears as if nothing is happening, is exactly what it takes to get the grand results we now get to witness. Could you use…
Say Goodbye to Self Imposed Stress!
Start 2015 from a place of empowerment! Success Tip! Say GOOD-BYE to ‘shoulda’, ‘woulda’ and ‘coulda‘! Leave them behind with 2014! Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I haven’t done enough,” or “I should’ve tried harder,” or “If only I could have done it differently.”? This is self-imposed stress. It happens when our self talk is full of the word should. “I should have called my sister today. I should have studied math flash cards with my daughter today. I wish I would not have been impatient with my spouse. I should not have been…
