Yearning for a good relationshipA Yearning Heart Makes Decisions Blindly

…for many and various reasons.

A brief study of relationship.

Did you know that one of the biggest contributors to the dating scams going on around us is the feeling that we are alone and abandoned?

Let me tell you a story about someone I met not so long ago.  Perhaps we can see one of the reasons that some of our friends make irrational decisions about new relationships.

 Harry Met Sally

Harry got married young.  He had a good idea of what he wanted and thought he found her in college.  They say that opposites attract.  Perhaps that is why Harry found Sally, someone who was organized and methodical to help him balance tendencies to be disorganized and distracted.  It almost worked.  The problem with marrying another person is, both people have baggage, issues and life experiences that contribute to the way we each make decisions.   How we feel is a reflection of what we believe about ourself, how we feel about our partner and how we feel about life experiences that happen to each of us.

There are reasons why Harry picked Sally.  He liked her beautiful long hair, her cute smile, her smart organization.  He thought he liked Continue reading A Yearning Heart Makes Decisions Blindly →

The truth is, it’s very frustrating trying to live your dream when you don’t have the tools and the healthy support systems you need.  Most people give up their dream because no one is helping and encouraging them on their way.  Maybe you understand what I’m saying.

When you try to make a LifeShift™, but don’t know exactly how or where you’re headed – and you don’t have the support you need Continue reading Change Your Story, Change Your Life! – Part 4 →

Overwhelmed? First Steps.

Blind Spots, Growth and Change, Inspiration, Life Events, Overwhelm

instaquote-21-05-2014-22-07-20One of the important questions that is often asked by my clients is how to deal with overwhelm.  I have seen a large number of people struggle with depression because there always seems to be more to deal with than a person thinks they can handle.  Have you a friend, colleague or associate who struggles with overwhelm?

Overwhelm

When we as human beings experience overwhelm it normally means we have too much input for our system to handle.  We feel stress simply existing and cannot seem to make any forward progress at all.  Thinking about our situation is therefore stressful and we end up trying to deal with our struggles and road blocks as little as possible.

Does this sound familiar?

Our body and brain are good at shutting down when we get too much input.  When we have a physical injury that gives our nervous system too much input, our body responds by putting us into a state we refer to as “shock”.  It’s the way our nervous system protects us.

It turns out that we have other Continue reading Overwhelmed? First Steps. →

Living Your Own Life?

Blind Spots, Growth and Change, Inspiration

One of the books I’ve been reading includes a quote by the late Steve Jobs that I really like.

Steve once said:  Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.  Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.  Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.  And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.  They somehow already know what you truly want to become.  Everything else is secondary.

Take The Next Big StepIt is the rare person who continues to believe in their dream.  We find ourselves pushed, prodded and ridiculed until we conform to “normal”, until we act and react like everyone else around us.  Most people seem to lose, or choose to abandon, their ability to dream and imagine something better for their life by the age of fourteen.

We usually develop Continue reading Living Your Own Life? →
