6 Steps to Encourage Positive Thinking
Think of your thoughts as though they were strangers passing on the street. You can choose to stop them, to have a chat, or to simply pass them by. Which thoughts will you invite into your home? Which thoughts will you allow to influence you? Which thoughts will change you? If you strike up a conversation with a negative thought, you get to decide how often that thought comes around, or how often you let it work against you. Simply…

Expectations and Being True To Yourself
Most of our lives we are taught and learn very well to live according to the expectations that others set for us. When I say “others” I am referring to all the people in our lives who we love, respect and who we believe have our best interest in mind. As children this is an invaluable and important part of the process of growth and development. However, the truth of the matter is that whether we like it or not,…

8 Steps to Heat Up Self-Love and Make Your Relationships Sizzle
“If you don’t love yourself, you’ll always be chasing after people who don’t love you either.” — Mandy Hale My childhood was filled with negativity, verbal taunts and attacks. In my parent’s eyes, I never felt good enough. I was not enough in school, not a good child at home and not even human. Why is it that Asian parents crush our spirits (and self-worth) by putting us at par with jungle animals? I was called every animal in the…

3 Simple Steps To Loving Yourself More
I believe we are born naturally loving ourselves. Then, a panoply of various circumstances and experiences compound over the years, providing fertile ground for our egos to collaborate with those past mistakes and unfavorable experiences to condition us otherwise. It then becomes our job to keep our egos in check and teach them how to use the wisdom gained from past experiences for our own benefit, rather than twisting it into (invalid) reasons for beating ourselves up. When we learn…

How to Find Your Way Through the Impossible Maze of Struggle
I spent a large portion of my life in the company of people who gave me more criticism than encouragement. The feedback I consistently received was about how I needed to improve, what I was doing wrong, or how I had failed expectations. Rarely, if ever, did someone encourage me, and if they did there was little to no substance to that encouragement. Often that ‘encouragement’ felt like a scolding. “I know you can do better. Do better! Just do…

Simple Common Sense Ways to Happiness and Self-Love
Many people fear accepting those things about themselves which they dislike, are unhappy about, or wish to change. They fear that accepting such things will mean that they will fall into complacency. That fighting those things is what is needed for everything to not completely spiral out of control. We could be talking about a multitude of things here: Our weight, our lack of motivation or self-discipline, our lack of patience, our impulse control, etcetera. The truth is, when we…

What to Do If You Are Buried Alive in Clutter
It is often said that the physical clutter we surround ourselves with is an external representation of what is going on in our mind. I have found that to be very true for me many times. When my emotions become saturated and my mind cluttered with negative, self-sabotaging or repetitive thoughts, it seems to translate into my physical world. The drain on my mental and emotional energy consumed by being too caught up in my head seems to have a…

On the Battlefield of Life at Rock Bottom there is Still a Promise of Hope
When I was younger, I walked around in a storm, constantly plagued by worry and stress. I carried so much unresolved anger and unhealed pain that the world felt like a battlefield. I was constantly on guard, ready for confrontation, ready to fight. My mind raced a million miles a minute. I had no peace; I had no reprieve. My constant state of angst left me on edge like a ticking time bomb. I was ready to go off at…

Memorial Day Weekend Message
If you have a political axe to grind, today is the day to set it down. Don't confuse politics, with considering the profound loss of human life. It's not about how great the nation is; it is about what those souls lost. It doesn't matter if they were valiant volunteers, or reluctant and draft coerced. It isn't about bravery either — in those circumstances, shuddering in fear is just as honorable. It's about what you have today, which those who…
