3 Ways To Get More Stillness In Your Life (Without Meditation)

By

What does it mean to get more stillness in your life? Think about this. How many times do you find yourself getting stuck in your own head? You keep jumping from one task to another, too busy to pause. When you do get a moment of lull, you seek distraction to avoid difficult thoughts & feelings. Technology and social media only make things worse. It seems like a vicious spiral. Is there even a way out? The answer I’ve found is in seeking stillness. Allowing a moment to ourselves to do nothing, to pause, to reflect, and to just be – this is what helps us find inner peace. The process of being still is beautiful and daunting at the same time. But with practice, patience, and dedication, you will reap its benefits when the rest of us have become screen zombies. Now I know what you’re thinking. I ain’t…

How To Get Over The Fear of Being Judged

By

How do you get over the fear of being judged by others so you can stay true to yourself and keep moving toward your goals and dreams?

It’s those aspects about ourselves that we tend to focus on when…

By

I’ve posted more than a few times about procrastination. Here. Here. And even here. Maybe that’s because I’ve believed that those who procrastinate, including me, need to find some way to manage the whole “I don’t really wanna do that right now” thing. Or maybe us procrastinators are just getting a bad rap. These old adages still count for a lot it seems. Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today. He who hesitates is lost. Procrastination is the thief of time. Tomorrow is the busiest time of the week. But what if I told you procrastination could be fun and creative and bring with it all kinds of benefits? What? You wouldn’t believe me? Then listen up. The major causes of procrastination It’s easier not to Even though Jim Rohn tells us it’s as easy to do something as to not do it. That really isn’t true…

The Power Of Encouraging Words – The Gift That Keeps On Giving

By

Updated March 26th 2021 Encouraging words can be powerful and are often what we need to get us through a difficult time. Especially when we get to the point where another cup of coffee just won’t cut it! After 2020, who hasn’t felt homesick for another world and another time? And a bit more support would have come in handy which leaves many of us emotionally drained and the unhappy chitter-chattering monkey that runs around in our heads doesn’t help matters. Is there anyone who can bring us some uplifting cheer when we desperately need it? Yes. I love this Encourager series. You get to meet or re-greet amazing wonderful beings who shine their light so brightly for the rest of us that we’re always bathed in their brilliance. Some of us are gifted with the ability to inspire, uplift and support us through difficult times with their words of…
