Imagine That

There’s a reason Einstein said, “imagination is more important than knowledge.” He didn’t mean that knowledge was unimportant; what he meant is that the way we use our imaginations is fundamentally more important. Most people have no idea how powerful their imaginations are. Over the years that I’ve been teaching people the principles of Neuro-Linguistic […]

Know Thyself

Turning Doubt into Awareness When it seems that nothing is going your way and your path is blocked at every turn, how do you react? Do you feel ugh, “why me?” without even thinking about it? Do you consider all of the things that are going wrong or do you stop yourself and ask: what […]

Every Day is Sunday

I am here. During this time of physical distancing, we have the chance to deepen our love and closeness with the people inside our “bubbles,” in particular. Physically, I’m at home with my family for the foreseeable future, but it’s important to ask: is the rest of me here, too?  Am I 100% present right […]

Facing The Dark

I See You These are three of the most powerful words in the English language. Why is this? Because as human beings we have a deep need to know that we exist. Another way of saying it is that we matter – to ourselves and others. Regardless of our race, religious beliefs, competencies, or shortcomings, […]

“Time Management”

Does Time Manage You? Are you sick and tired of running out of time? Does it seem like there is never enough? Did last year “go really fast”?

Strong Mental Health Growth, why should we care about it? Isn’t growth something that babies and children do? Doesn’t growth stop after school and reverse as we age? If you want strong mental health, then the answer to these questions is a resounding, no. Because when the concept of growth is shifted into a love of […]

Radical Acceptance

Families Are Chaotic The perfect family does not exist: you need to stop trying to make yours perfect. Instead, we need to accept our families – and the individuals who make it up – just the way it is even when we know it could be better. Families are perpetrators of some of the messiest […]

Living “At-Cause”

How in charge are you? A funny question I know. Most people think they are. Yet, when we look closely at our responses to what happens to us sometimes the reality is very different from the thought. When a co-worker criticises you, for example, do you stop and reflect on it and decide whether or […]

Digital Body Language

Your body language is always saying something. An earlier post discussed the importance of body language in person; this one looks at it during video conferences. We spend a lot of time in meetings and many of them, thanks to companies like Zoom, and Google Hangouts, are held digitally, offering richer ways to communicate. And we’ve […]
