    Thinking Positively and Anti-Aging

    November 26, 2024 / No Comments

    Your mind is one of the most powerful tools you possess! In recent decades, there has been an explosion of interest in positive psychology and the incredible impact of your thoughts on your overall well-being including anti-aging. The central belief in this movement is simple yet profound: the more you focus on gratitude and positivity, the more reasons you’ll find to be grateful in the future. Positive thinking is not only uplifting but has been shown to promote better health, happiness, and even anti-aging benefits. By choosing optimism, you can attract more positive experiences and create a cycle of well-being in your life. How does this relate to aging or…

    What Others Think of You is None of Your Business, So Stop Worrying!

    November 25, 2024 / No Comments

    Have you ever felt you want to stop worrying about what others think of you? I know I used to do that often. I’m trying to kick the habit though. Have you ever felt that spark of wanting to try something new, step outside your comfort zone, or embrace a different version of yourself? Did you follow through, or did you stop in your tracks, paralyzed by fear of what others might think? I know what that feels like—I’ve been there too, stuck in the endless loop of “what ifs.” It’s frustrating and disheartening to feel held back by fear, especially when deep down you know there’s so much more…

    Adopt a Positive Mindset

    November 14, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Why What You Think and Learn Matters   You may feel stuck at different times in your life and realize you need to make some changes and adopt a positive mindset. It happens to most of us at one time or another. These periods can lead to feelings of helplessness, sadness, irritability and resignation. Mental health issues like depression and anxiety may even be exacerbated during these times. While it can seem impossible to get past how you feel, making a few simple changes may prove to have significant benefit. Taking proactive steps to address your thought patterns and personal development may very well make overcoming slumps seem more achievable.…

    Achieving Greatness at Any Age – Personal Best

    July 19, 2024 / No Comments

    What about greatness at any age? Personally, I know many people my age who don’t see what I’m writing here as their future at all. It’s really important that you consider adopting a mindset that doesn’t limit your possibilities.  The truth is your peak or your personal best can happen at any age. Did you know Mozart composed his first symphony when he was just 8 years old? Quite an impressive achievement for a child. Actually, it’s a notable achievement for someone of any age. Shirley Temple began her acting career at 4 years of age and won an Academy Award when she was only 7! Those two child prodigies…

    Power of Meditation

    February 12, 2024 / No Comments

    This is an important subject for me as I’ve recently become very invested in the power of meditation. I’ve been dabbling for a while, but it’s becoming more of a commitment I look forward to on a daily or twice daily basis. It’s a new and wonderful experience for me personally, and so I want to share a bit about it with you. Here’s a question for you. Why is meditation not just a practice but a transformative journey towards a more mindful and fulfilling life? Meditation, often misunderstood as a mere moment of silence or a quick fix for stress, holds the potential to reshape your daily experiences, offering…

    Conquering Self-Doubt and Cultivating Self-Confidence: A Journey to Soldier On

    December 18, 2023 / No Comments

    What about conquering self-doubt? It’s a curious sensation, that feeling of self-doubt. Like an unwelcome shadow, it follows us through life, sometimes hidden, and at other times, overwhelmingly present. Regardless of age, achievement, or background, not one of us is immune. The accomplished author, the passionate artist, the diligent student; each one, at some point, has grappled with the looming question: “Am I good enough?” Unless you’re a total narcissist, I think self-doubt is pretty much a universal experience, but it doesn’t have to be a life sentence. By understanding its origins and by actively cultivating self-confidence, you can soldier on, transforming your challenges into stepping-stones towards growth. Understanding Self-Doubt…

    June 29, 2023 / 2 Comments

    “Self-talk and your blue mood” is an interesting subject. Everyone has experienced a “blue mood” at some point in their lives. It’s that feeling of sadness, melancholy, or low energy that can show up seemingly out of nowhere. While there are many factors that can contribute to feeling down, one often overlooked aspect is the way we talk to ourselves, known as self-talk. Self-talk refers to the internal dialogue we have with ourselves, the thoughts and words we use to communicate with ourselves. It turns out self-talk can have a significant impact on our mood, particularly when we’re feeling blue. Negative self-talk in particular, can be detrimental to our mental…

    It’s important to boost your self-confidence! Are you struggling with your confidence? You’re not alone. Many of us strive to have more self-confidence. The truth is it can be difficult to come by at times. You often hold yourself to unreasonably high standards, and this can have a negative impact on your self-esteem. If you can learn how to leverage and strengthen your self-confidence, it’s possible you can generate some excellent outcomes. For instance, self-confidence leads to: Healthier relationships. Confidence doesn’t just influence how you feel about yourself, but it also helps you to understand and appreciate others better too. Better performance.

    When you change your thoughts, you change your life. Changing my thoughts is changing my life. I say “is changing” as I am definitely a work in progress. Aren’t we all? After eating widely (read that as “badly” for me personally) the end of last year, I found myself dealing with feeling very down and depressed again. I was blown away and extremely disappointed as I thought I had slain that dragon! Because I have learned I have to take responsibility for my mental health, I am back on track with my mindful healthy eating, and I have dramatically increased my focus on a positive mindset. Why do I share…
