Being of Service Has a Dark Side
Are you the sweetheart that friends can always count on?
Do you give 100% and more to your clients?
Then you should be rich in goodwill, a very valuable asset. (Not that you were being helpful and giving for that reason of course),
What if I told you that you might have created some problems as a result [...]
Getting high with weeds (This post is not what you think)
Ok, I admit it’s a cheap headline, but I couldn’t resist.
What this post is really about is how being present and aware dramatically changes the quality of our life.
And the kind of weeds I’m referring to is…garlic mustard (a plant that’s not native to this region and is very pretty but destroys the habitat if [...]
Expect that it should be easy, and it’s likely to be
The other day, I had one of those great days where things that I have been fretting over, just got magically solved.
I wasn’t particularly masterful in my actions, but I was in a masterful mood: grateful, aware of the beauty in my environment, and not worried about small things.

The typical example is someone who says that he (or she) lives for his family yet [...]

The feeling of overwhelm seems to be lurking more than ever. I see it in others, and I experience it myself.
And the tendency to feel out of control and freeze seems to be out of proportion to what is on my plate.
I know I’m not alone because I’ve observed in others, [...]
How to keep fear at bay; lesson learned today in the locker room
This morning, I was reminded of how contagious fear is.
I was at the gym and a few of us were in the locker room getting ready to leave after our aerobics class. One woman was saying how they normally travel to Europe every year but won’t go this year because she didn’t think it was [...]
Ever notice you get sad after finally reaching a hard-earned goal?
I first experienced this when I was involved with long projects in the corporate world. After they were finally completed, I found myself down and out for a few days.
It must be a reaction to the pre-deadline high intensity and long hours, I thought.
As a corporate trainer, the post-workshop crash was part of my regular [...]
