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…
...Welcome to Thriving Now!
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 …
A typical affirmation is stated in the present tense as if what you want is already yours. For example, “I am wonderful!” Say that to yourself. “I am wonderful!” Notice what your head says right after the affirmation. What your head says AFTER the affirmation is, indeed, the REAL affirmation.
...Is PAIN getting in your way? Whether it's emotional distress, physical pain, fear & anxiety, worry, past trauma, active disease, stress, overwhelm... or a painful combination! Get Relief Now

- Co-RegulationCo-Regulation Co-regulation is when we allow ourselves to tune to another presence that is radiating more solidness, balance, presence, and harmony than we currently feel. The process is natural and tends to improve the emotional resilience of all living beings. Co-regulation builds resilience in our neural pathways, allowing both for less frequent triggering and faster […]

- Emotional FreedomEmotional Freedom Emotional Freedom respects that as human beings, we will experience the full spectrum of emotions. We become more curious than judgmental. We’re willing to explore the intelligence and guidance underlying all our feelings. With awareness and skill, we learn to “be with” the feelings in our body and thoughts in our head, gain […]
- Don't Look Up!I watched the Netflix movie last night called ‘Don’t Look Up’.
