Overeating Can Stop.

Many of my clients overeat, binge or struggle with their weight. They say they don’t have control over their eating. And more so, they can’t stop eating a goody when they start.

Create your great life.

Create your great life.

I was never told, “It’s up to you to make a great life.” I had a sense of what I wanted but I didn't think of my life as something I could shape and create. Not until my late thirties.

Responsibility vs. Anxiety

Humans cheat themselves of their power in so many of ways. One significant way that we give it away is when we slough off taking responsibility of our actions and reactions.

Make friends with the doubts.

Make friends with the doubts.

We all have doubts. They're very familiar, so redundant and funny sometimes. I ask my clients to befriend them actually. We investigate them and find significant proof that they aren't the whole truth of a situation or even the truth AT ALL.

Move away from rigidity.

A pattern of thinking that has lead clients astray from happiness and growth is rigid and harsh. It may sound like: 'You stink for being over X pounds overweight...,' or ...

A short letter to anger.

A short letter to anger.

Dear Anger, You are a force. For all of us, we harness you in tough moments. When what we thought was ours becomes obliterated. There is a blend of shock, humiliation and fear that fills our world and then you come in.

That dictator needs to go.

We've all been under the spell of a dictator at some point or another. It's the dictator that makes one feel small, needy and cold. Statements like, "You're not doing it right." "You're not there yet."

Turn on the joy station.

One of the ways I tell my clients to shift their 'upsets' -- the upsets that manifest as 'mental leap frogging', ruminating, self pity -- is to change the channel on their radio. I like to think that the thoughts in our head ...

The Should Game should NOT be played.

It's a crappy game to play and I know it! I'm referring to the Should Game. It's a rotten one, a trap. It goes like..."I should finish this...," "I should be more X, Y or Z...,"...

Avoidance is the root of ill.

When you don't do what you *know* will make you feel good and free, you suffer. You suffer in various ways -- by feeling doubtful about yourself, by blaming someone else, by eating when not hungry, by wanting to 'escape'.
