3 Keys to Regretting Fewer Missed Opportunities (by Overcoming Fear Sooner)

It was my teenage daughter’s birthday, and we suggested she could have friends over for a part if she liked. “No, I’m okay,” was her quick reply. This was a couple of years ago.

Overcoming fear of calling people up on the phone wasn’t something she was gonna tackle just then. She new we wanted her to be the one to call around and organize it, and she didn’t feel comfortable doing that.

So, she missed an opportunity for a party I’m pretty sure she would have loved. She’s come a long way and recently planned a birthday movie outing with her friends.

6 Questions to Reconnect You to the Good You Forgot (and Make You Thankful Again)

It is said that we can retain only four pieces of information active in our conscious working memory at one time. With the 50,000 plus thoughts running through our brain each day, and many of those negative, it’s a challenge to remember the things good we have to be thankful for.

Life’s problems and challenges can start weighing you down pretty quickly. This is why the daily habit of pausing to recall at least three things we’re grateful for has such a powerful effect on our happiness and wellbeing.

6 Keys to Living Fully Before You Die

My earliest encounter with the death of a friend was when an “uncle” I’d grown up around, lost his battle with cancer. I didn’t get to see him but I remember the feeling of insecurity it gave me in my preteen years.

A few years later, I literally came face to face with death, when we had to put our dog, Spots, down after a car accident. Watching the life drain from his trusting eyes, as I held his head in my hands, was not something I was prepared for. Every time I remember that day, I am unable to shake the deep sadness that floods over me.

Are You Stuck in a Mess You Made? So? Start Over!

I’ve messed up in everything from cooking a pot of rice, to nurturing a healthy marriage. What I’m about to say may sound calloused, but there’s no shame in letting go of the past, when you tried but really messed up.

Start over with a fresh pot of rice, there’s no use in torturing your taste buds. Start over in your relationships, once you know you’ve given it your all and you realize that parting ways in love may be the healthiest solution for all involved.
