Mindset

Simple, easy-to-use strategies to reach goals, get motivated, change your mindset, and improve your life.

The other day I ran across one of my old laptops. I opened it up and found a document I wanted to email to myself. The problem was,...

I love the musical Hamilton. I've seen it twice. During my first attendance, I was in the nosebleed section with an obstructed view. ...

I was part of a three-way conversation discussing how easily we can get triggered, and our moods immediately change from feeling peace and calm to intense irritation and anger. One gentleman was describing his recent experience on an airplane. He had just comfortably settled into his seat when a quite "rude and selfish" woman pushed her way past him, plopping down in the seat (not originally hers as she had changed from the row behind him) next to him. She proceeded to lis

"You've just got to think positive!" How many times have we heard this phrase? While it's true that having a positive mindset certainly helps when dealing with the ups and downs of life, how many people can stay positive 24/7? I think having a "productive" mindset is not only more sustainable, but it's what initiates change, and allows us to experience life from a more "positive" perspective even when things don't feel so rosy and cheery. When I say "productive", I don't

I've always been envious of people who have a natural sense of curiosity. That's never been me. I have a more targeted sense of curiosity than possessing the overall "curiosity trait" some lucky people embody. But I decided this was a quality I really wanted to cultivate because the rewards are enormous. I've made it a priority...a habit...habitually curious. I've spent years researching and attempting to understand why people behave the way they do. The biggest challenge

When going from Point A to Point B I don’t think you can get more precise than the people endeavoring to launch a rocket. Those guys...

I was watching some kids the other day compete to see who could jump the furthest. One by one they took off from their starting point,...

Looking back on my life there were events that took place where I felt I was a victim. Things happened that were beyond my control. Sometimes “bad things happen to good people”. However, what I’m talking about is a "victim mentality". This is developed when a person continuously believes that the negative things that happen to them are the result of outside forces beyond their control. It reflects a feeling of powerlessness over one’s circumstances. When my oh-so-beauti

Society today places a lot of emphasis on "doing". Being a goal-oriented person myself, I actually kinda like "doing" because it makes me feel good to accomplish things. And that statement right there is what I'm talking about with this Arrow Tip. Most people focus on the "doing" without paying any attention to who they are BEING. Doing without being leads to temporary results mostly because it depends on willpower, which requires a whole lot of energy. It's virtually

Have you ever stopped for a moment to notice the voice in your head? Try it. You'll see that all day long this voice is incessantly chattering. It's always carrying on conversations....with not only yourself but also other people. If there's any ONE thing I've tried to work on in my life it's this. When I first started this self-evolutionary process I can't tell you how many times I would catch myself deeply engrossed in my own inner convo where I'd be telling someone of

Our moods are like channels on our TVs. There are many of them and they can change as quickly and as easily as we flip between stations....

Take a moment and think about your last few days, weeks, years. What has your mind been focused on? If it's been thoughts of stress, worry or dis-ease then it's time to make a change. Part of the brain's job is to help us survive. It filters through massive amounts of information and hones in on anything that matches up with things that are familiar to us or we're focused on. This is a good thing, but it has the potential to make things very challenging as well. I remem

NO......I'm not talking about guns here......I'm talking about mental and emotional triggers.....be it people, places, or things. In most cases, people see triggers as negative, but they don't have to be. I want to show you how to leverage your triggers to bring about positive change. In my functional medicine practice, I've worked with many people who have food-related triggers that elicit an inflammatory response in their bodies. Due to a variety of reasons their systems

As we travel along the path of life quite often we find ourselves in situations that cause us stress, anxiety, and other uncomfortable emotions. We spend a great deal of time managing these circumstances by focusing on what's happening TO us rather than what's happening IN us. As the old saying goes....."Nothing's happening to you, it's happening through you". We see the "outer" world as the cause of our pain and try to change that rather than ourselves. When we start m

I work with many individuals trying to improve their health in some way. A big part of the care and healing comes from making changes to their diet. We start by taking out food that has little to no nutritional value. We remove foods that are triggering to their specific body systems. And lastly, we implement highly nutritious foods and increase the consumption of these on a daily basis. Immediately the body begins the process of repair and healing and in time we see the r
