Imagine your spine is like the open road transmitting information easily to your brain.
When the road is free and clear, you feel good; your body operates efficiently.
But when there is bumper-to-bumper traffic and you’re pressed for time, that good feeling can quickly turn into a lot of mental, emotional and even physical discomfort.
All of which = stress.
WHERE DOES STRESS GO? Continue reading
Self-discipline is a muscle.
When we don’t use it mediocrity sets in.
That can lead to a life of regret.
Yuck.
Don’t worry, because you’re not going to let that happen!
It’s time to move from complacency into the realm of possibility or better yet… Continue reading
Hoffman’s character in this 1982 Academy Award winning film, Michael Dorsey, would go to any lengths to get a part, even if it meant playing a tomato: “Nobody does vegetables like me!”
Most of us if asked to BE a tomato, or a horse or a tree … would ultimately give up (or break down in hysterics) because (aside from feeling ridiculous), we don’t believe we’re any of those things.
But WHAT IF you were asked to behave like one of them? Continue reading
Let’s dive right in.
The ability to act as if you are already where you want to be in your life is the essence of The Act as if Technique. But most people go no further with this novel approach to achieving goals than simply reminding themselves, “Right, if I want to be successful, I’ve got to act successful.”
That’s not enough. Continue reading

Your life. The past. The present.
That’s given circumstances in a nutshell. And if we were talking about a story, the given circumstances are much the same – the known facts about a situation or a character.
Take the film Mary Poppins, the given circumstances are: Mary Poppins is an English nanny with magical powers who works for a family called the Banks, she takes care of their two children, Jane and Michael, the trio share incredible adventures. Continue reading
It’s called Uncomfortable Willingness.
Being able to accept living in a state of emotional discomfort.
Ugh. As if any of us would want to do that!
What is that uncomfortable feeling?
It’s resistance + dread. And our ego is always on the lookout for anything that might make us appear ridiculous or put us in a state of discomfort. Take the first day of school butterflies or first day on the job jitters. No thanks! Emotional discomfort is that foreboding feeling of having to call a creditor to discuss a payment plan, or stage fright prior to giving a presentation. In a nutshell, it’s all the things we don’t want to do, but all the things that when we do them, bring us relief. Continue reading
Forget everything…
… Except what you’re doing and where you are at this moment in time.
Moment-to-moment living takes the idea of being present and living in the now to another level. It’s being hyper aware of your current surroundings and super focused on what you’re doing in the moment.
Imagine you’re making a salad, if you’re practicing moment-to-moment living you would pay extremely close attention to tearing the lettuce, washing and cutting the tomatoes, how you’re putting them in the salad bowl… Being this hyper focused pulls you immediately into the present moment so much so that nothing else can enter your brain and I mean nothing!
Why living moment-to-moment matters.
