Feeling the need to be real in our lives, be it in love, at work, with friends, or with your family can be stressful, if we are not used to opening up.
Fear is the biggest thing that stands in the way, specially if we’ve been hurt or had bad experiences after we tried to open up or be real with others in the past.
Have you found yourself thinking some of these thoughts? (more…)
Today, I regret not taking better care of my teeth. When I was a kid I didn’t buy into good dental hygiene and what it would mean to my quality of life today. Your big dreams for your future depend on little things you do well, today.
You know what things are important to seeing your dream become reality. Time consuming things you do today may feel like a burden but something as simple as brushing your teen may impact your happiness or even reaching your dreams in the future.

As an English teacher, working around children tends to put me in contact with all of their little germs. I had to put in some extra time teaching and all I could think about was not getting sick and fearing that I would, and the negative self-talk started.
Sure enough, I feared a fear and it came upon me, and I was pretty messed up. But then I remembered my secret weapon, yep positive self-talk. We have so much control and power through the mind. — A little extra garlic and vitamin treatment sure helped, too.

Sometimes family presents us with incredible joy and sometimes we just feel stuck and in pain. Do you have a marriage situation you just can’t get out of, or are you nursing a child through an illness you just can’t beat? No one enjoys feeling stuck in life.
I remember sharing a video about a woman who lost her legs to a sudden disease. Stories like that, where a person comes through and has an amazing life, in spite of circumstances can be inspiring, but what about our own situations? – Less extreme? Perhaps, but just as challenging and possibly even more painful to live with.

Stress get’s a lot of blame for a crazy number of illnesses leading to death. Sounds impossible to think that what we believe about the effects of stress, could be listed as the 15th leading cause of death in America. *
That means that what people think about the effects of stress is possibly killing more people than skin cancer, HIV, and homicide. *

You know you’ll make it. You think, “It will be amazing once I get my weight down to 185 lb.” or, “When we get reach $500,000 in revenue we’ll be successful.” or, “Once I can come home at 5:00 to spend time my family I will be happy.”
It’s likely it won’t be amazing, you won’t feel successful, and you won’t be happy. I think you know why.
