Another person being difficult. Money. Time. And one area that presents obstacles to our progress is our inner thinking. We are surrounded by our thoughts, and they seem like reality to us. We believe what we think. Yet sometimes, in an effort to help us, our brains return to thoughts that are less than helpful. In fact,...

Today on the podcast, learn how to make better decisions through two strategies. Although decisions can be as unique as you are, you can make them with confidence when using your sensory modalities (the VAK), and a conscious reflection process.

Have you thought about your control, influence, and everything else outside of those two zones? It might surprise you, but we spend a lot of time, energy, and effort on things we cannot control. Getting clear on these areas can help you restore energy for things you can control and have a better impact.

It might surprise you to learn that we...

We are all excellent storytellers. We have the power within us to interpret, explain, analyze, and clarify things that happen in our lives. This power can be used to strengthen us and open possibilities. Our storytelling can connect us to other people. Or, we can use storytelling to justify, excuse, diminish, and victimize. It's amazing to consider our own storytelling abilities and what they bring us in life. In today's podcast, I'll share a few perspectives and examples of storytelling. You wi...

Maybe everyone else has experienced what you're facing. Somehow, perha...

This is episode 43, Storytelling About the Past. Have you ever told a story about the past? Or, maybe someone in your family told it about you? And in that story, you did something silly, or odd, or embarrassing? When that story is told, it's just another reminder of our weakness or frailty. Or, maybe about our mistakes.
