Why You Need a Crisis to Change – Or Do You?

I was shocked when I read this line in a post yesterday, “Your brain isn’t just resistant to change; it’s lazy.” I thought about it a bit more and I realised, in a way, it is true.

You have an autopilot control in your brain that is well able to take you as safely as possible through life. It does this in response to the world around you and more important in alignment with the mental image you have developed of yourself and your life over your lifetime.

Some of my favorite bloggers post short, to the point, posts. What is it about those short concise posts that grabs us and keeps us going back for more? I think it comes down to time. Time is a finite commodity. When it’s gone there’s no refill.

The only time we can do anything about is now. Today, time was slipping away from me in frustration over some technical problems I was facing. A little later, when reading The Power of Now for the second time, this all changed. Here’s my take-away for you. (more…)

How a Super Star Tackles Fear in Acting, With a Coach’s Insight

I often prefer not to have to face a problem or difficulty.

Many of us shrink at the first sign of fear in our minds or hearts. We can tend to opt for the flight option in our instinctive fight or flight response. True, it is safer! Besides, what if we fail?

Our flawed thinking is that we can just skip that a failure and move on to a success. In the end the question I like to ask is:

Do I want to stay where I am, or do I want growth and change?
