    Fear of Prediabetes

    January 20, 2023 / No Comments

    Is prediabetes scaring you to death? about your future? If the prospect of becoming a full-blown insulin-dependent diabetic scares you, believe it or not, that’s a good thing; you should be afraid! It’s an even better thing if you use your fear of prediabetes to motivate you to take steps to pull yourself back from a diagnosis of prediabetes. When you get your diagnosis, you’re standing on the threshold of what could be the beginning of the end for you or the beginning of a new life. It can be turned around. We did it for my husband Rob about nine years ago, and I’ve played a part in helping…

    Success Isn’t Luck

    November 4, 2022 / No Comments

     Success Isn’t Luck; It’s You! Do you have feelings or worries your co-workers or friends will think you’re a fraud? Do you often feel as though you don’t belong? Success isn’t luck, and these are feelings of “impostor syndrome”. A surprising number of successful people experience this in their lives. Impostor syndrome can cause you to feel you only accomplished your goals because of luck. Perhaps you think you aren’t as good as others think you are, and so you also worry you’ll be found out. Research shows us both men and women battle impostor syndrome and are unable to acknowledge, own and enjoy their success.   What Is Impostor…

    The world health organization (WHO) reports a 25% increase in anxiety and depression worldwide as a result of the pandemic. You may think we are out of it, but not everyone has fully recovered or is able to be out in the world as they were before. Much of the increase in depression is attributed to social isolation and loneliness. The impact has been especially strong on young adults and women. However, this presents an opportunity as well. Anytime you’re dealing with major changes, you have a chance to develop new habits. Here are some suggestions to help you make meaningful connections.

    4 Ways Introverts Can Enjoy More Social Confidence

    October 10, 2022 / No Comments

    Social confidence is important for building relationships. This is true of the introvert, the extrovert and the average person who is somewhere between those two ends of the personality spectrum. It’s possible to enjoy a much more successful career when you have powerful social skills. Your personal relationships benefit greatly. The person who’s confident when interacting with others has a high level of self-esteem. They enjoy a powerful self-belief that they are capable when they find themselves in social situations. This is not to say introverts don’t live wonderful, rewarding lives. They simply have a view of their best life that’s different from an extroverted person. By the way, it’s…

    Freedom and Growth During This Time

    May 26, 2022 / No Comments

    Today, I want to address freedom and growth. If there is one place you should be free, it is in your own mind. You might have limitations in terms of what your body is capable of doing and what you’re allowed to do, but your mind should be free to roam wherever you want it to. This is not the reality in which most of us live. Instead, your thoughts are dictated by your circumstances, and those circumstances are largely out of your control – or at least it feels that way. That’s why you often find yourself feeling dissatisfied and constantly wanting to push forward, rather than stopping to…

    6 Ways to Kick Negative Thoughts to the Curb

    February 20, 2022 / No Comments

    None of us really wants to have negative thoughts, but we all seem to deal with them at some point. Whether the negative thoughts are about yourself, the things you’re doing, your job or other people, sometimes it’s really hard to get rid of negative thoughts once they take up residence your mind. Here are some techniques you can use to help stop negative thoughts. Practice actively stopping negative thoughts – If you feel that you’re about to start thinking negatively, stop the thoughts before they have a chance to really kick in and take over.

    We all live through many different kinds of experiences; sometimes we can get in the way of our own happiness because we focus on thoughts that hinder happiness. We focus on what’s wrong, what’s missing, or on the negativity of a situation. If any of the following thoughts are running on a loop in your head, take note and then take steps to make some changes. I Don’t Like People – Many people, especially introverts, tend to focus their decisions on how many people will be around.

    To discover your purpose and calling in life is a thought-driven process. To discover your purpose, it’s important to simplify things and dig down to get to your authentic self. The key to doing that is to ask yourself questions that help you discover or re-discover who you really are. We often wear masks when we’re out in the world, and we never get in touch with who we really are. The mask we wear may be all we know… and we act and think as we believe we should. By digging deep and asking yourself the questions that matter, you’ll discover what it is you truly want in life.…
