Ever notice how changing small things can feel like a bother? Too much work for the reward? Silly example… Whenever I zoom, I put on a bit of makeup. I think the definition makes understanding emotions on video easier. For years I’ve had a scratchy brush to put on blush. Every time I notice the brush is …
Welcome to Thriving Now!
50% of everything you do… isn’t as good as the other half. The first time I heard this, it was like a punch in the gut. Oh no, it’s true. Half of everything I do isn’t any good. Arrgh! And then I had to smile because…
...What do you do if your self-judgment gets in the way of tapping? It isn’t fun to do something when you are constantly feeling criticized!
...“Worried” and “angry” are emotional postures. So are peevish, cynical, critical, lonely, unmotivated, ignored, friendless, untrusting, not-good-enough, unappreciated, and unloved. Let’s also include overwhelmed, frustrated, impatient, and stressed. If a person demonstrates such a state of being on a consistent basis, it is an emotional posture. It has become how the person stands and relates to the world. EFT and our group coaching program can help you establish new, self-empowered emotional postures.
...Are you needing an uplift? A simple uplift is the type of thing that is available, I believe, to anyone anywhere. Simple says that it doesn’t have to be Big. It doesn’t have to be complicated. All the conditions don’t have to be perfect. And it can still be savored and give us a pleasurable boost.
...When you’re distressed, can you shift to neutral with confidence and ease? I didn’t realize for a long time that this is a SKILL… a skill that can be cultivated and become one of the most beautiful gifts we can give to ourselves and those around us. People talk about wanting to be Happy. They …

- Inner Child or Inner Idiot?Copied from a blog I wrote October 10, 2021 I saw this meme and laughed. Who of us doesn’t have an inner idiot who pops out at times? I know I do and when she appears who knows what will happen. I was a young mother getting ready to take my son to a doctor’s […]

- Playing with unsolicited callersCopied from Facebook just now. This really happened. Yesterday, in fact. My Phone: Ring. Ring. Ring. Scott: Hello. How can I make life more wonderful for you today?

- HealingHealing Healing is a natural, ongoing process to restore balance and well-being to our body, our mind, and our physical and emotional world. Understanding that healing is a process rather than a goal (healed) helps us to discern when we’re out of balance and make a shift. We learn to notice when we’re quite far […]

Shared values, intentions, and varied approaches mesh in a healthier dynamic when kinship is freely cultivated.

- ImperfectionismImperfectionism Imperfectionism embraces the truth that even though anything and anyone and any situation could be “improved,” our heartistry is set free by being uninterested in striving for some delusion of perfection. Imperfectionism frees us from the psychological tyranny of perfectionism. Releasing perfectionism allows us to focus on what matters and take inspired action without […]
- GroundingGrounding Grounding is a calming practice to reconnect and feel present in our body, strong and balanced on the earth. Once we learn how to re-ground ourselves, we become less likely to get stuck in overwhelm and anxiousness. A grounded person is more present and calm which feels safer and co-regulating to others. Grounding prepares […]
- Where's My Joy?A question I am practicing and “documenting” – Where’s My Joy? It invites me to notice. Here. Now. Or after an experience. I write them into my Roam Research daily planner. Why? My nature is to notice contrast and seek to respond and improve. But, that can get out of balance. Joy, like a simple […]
- Music is in All Things. We Forget How to Hear Until We SingThis is quite deep but oh so fascinating. Leigh J McCloskey is an actor and a painter. In this video he talks about creativity, curiosity, belief, holding a sense of wonder. He says Imagination is not fantasy, not just make believe. It is the bridge that allows us to connect with that which is not […]

A gap is where we do not have the natural resources to make an experience or action fulfilling (or […]
- Warning by Jenny JosephWhen I am an old woman I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter. I shall sit down on the pavement when I’m tired And gobble up […]
- Hurry Up and Play your MusicWe go to kindergarten, then first grade and on and on until we graduate. Then we get jobs and work hard until we retire, then we’ll have fun. This is the life so many have bought into and believed. Are there other ways to live? What if the Universe is just playful? What if music […]
