For Clarity & Contentment, Uncover The “Why”
My work is designed to help clients hone their ability to access purpose. At the core, what I ask them about their possessions is, “Why is this present in your life?” Plenty of them own a plethora of pretty things. Most of them can easily invent utility for objects. My goal is for them…
Read MoreAim For Alignment
Alignment is one of those words that gets tossed around in the self-help world. But what is it, really? The feeling of being at the right place at the right time. The feeling of having the necessary skill set to solve the puzzle presented to you. The feeling of talking to someone who gets it.…
Read MoreWhy Your Real, Weird Self Is The One We Most Want
“Be yourself” is as bog-standard a life directive as they come. I believe the appropriate response is, “Duh.” Still, it’s a necessary reminder. The desire to fit in (which must have evolved from a survival tactic to avoid getting ousted from ones’ tribe and lunched on by whatever beasts were nearby) is strong.…
Read MoreA Return To Patience
Once upon a time, patience wasn’t a virtue, but a requirement. Nature’s slow and steady progression was the ruling faction. Nowadays, it has become increasingly easy to be impatient. We no longer have to wait for the arrival of summer, we can simply board a plane for somewhere warm. We no longer have to patiently…
Read More5 Step Recipe For Habit Consistency
Aristotle (or maybe Will Durant) famously wrote, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” Since then, our species has been fascinated by habits. Good, bad; making them and breaking them. Our higher knowings against our lower desires, squaring off for eternity. I’m wretched at scientific reasoning,…
Read MoreWhat Will You Pay Attention To In 2023?
Attention is the intersection of time and energy, which makes it a highly precious resource. Yet so many of us (myself included!), don’t treat it as such. We act frivolously with our attention. We give and withhold it without intentionality. And then we wonder why what we desire isn’t showing up for us. Where…
Read MoreLive Simply in December: Ease
Creating more ease in people’s lives is at the core of my life’s work. I know firsthand the ways challenges great and small are responsible for important mental, physical and spiritual growth. Still, I’m invested in creating greater ease because I also know that the more freed up each of us is (freed from the…
Read MoreLive Simply In November: Intention
In the karmic equation that rules our lives, intention is the cause that ultimately creates an effect. When we consciously set an intention, we align ourselves with our authentic purpose and desire. On an unconscious and conscious level, we put forth the energy that’s required to bring about our intended outcome. Without intention, we’re…
Read MoreLive Simply In October: Satisfaction
In life, there are the tasks we want to do and the ones we know we need to do. Most unfortunately, these two things often don’t overlap. Like, you know you need to move your body, but what you want to do is become your bed. Or, you know you need to create an orderly,…
Read MoreLive Simply In September: Impeccability
We learn as we mature that life is a balance of getting what we want and giving others what they want. Being willing to compromise is the difference between having healthy relationships and being a giant jerk no one likes. Still, each of us has certain values we refuse to compromise on. These are…
