Everything You Do

Everything you do in life has the potential to be transformational. At every moment you have the opportunity to change your experiences for the better.  Practicing staying present, focused and in the ‘Now' is the path to inspiring transformational change. Though it may begin to sound like a cliché there isn't anything closer to the truth. More…

Setting Intentions and Keeping Intentions

I'm reading about and thinking about setting intentions and keeping intentions. It turns out that people who have more self-control have an area in their brains that is more highly developed than those who do not keep their promises to themselves. And because our brains are so 'plastic' it is possible for each of us to increase this area of our own brains by practicing more self-control. Ok, 3 choc-covered almonds, not five! Why would we want to do this? Self-control sounds like a dirty word sometimes but if you finesse it to harness its power then you have a tool in your basket that can help you discern and stick to the kinds of things that will make you happier about your life and yourself.

Upping the Ante, One Way or Another

A couple of interesting research studies have come out this week giving us a better understanding of our ability to live life to its fullest potential.

Everything You Do

Everything we do in life has the potential to be transformational when we put our consciousness to it. We go about life mostly living in the past or the future. That looks like this in our brain: “What am I going to fix for dinner? When is the car going to get new tires? Why didn’t I do this when I was younger? If I walk the dog now I’ll be late for my favorite TV show.” And on and on. You could be in an exciting situation when all of these things are going on in your head and miss the whole thing. Which is what happens to many people while they are supposed to be enjoying themselves having sex. They just aren’t there. More…

Do It Every Night

What happens when we make a leap-of-faith and decide to do something that sounds so radical to our friends and family but seems perfectly sane to us? One example might be the two couples who recently made the decision to make love for either everyday for a year or at least for 101 days. They have new books out, 365 Nights and Just Do It, so you can read about them. From the looks of their very smiley pictures it must have worked but I confess I haven’t read the books. More…
