Do you have a CLUTTER problem?
A person definitely has a clutter problem when all the stuff in their home, office, and inbox drains their energy a lot more than it gives them joy. The things people have around them can add comfort, ease, abundance, and playfulness… but when they go from enhancing their life, to being AN EMOTIONAL DRAIN on…

How much is your STUFF holding you back?
Have you ever wondered if HOLDING ON… is holding you back? It’s easy to get used to having a “load” of physical or emotional “stuff”… Kind of like that proverbial fish in water. People get used to the weight and noise… and just continue struggling under the burden. We want to have it all! The truth…

How do I decide… make the right decision?
Ever been stuck… Not sure what the right decision is? It’s a horrible feeling. I don’t know about you, but my brain can suck every ounce of energy out of my life trying to find a solution. The anxiety of not being able to decide feels awful. How do you decide? How do you break…

Are your emotions CONTAGIOUS?
Are your emotions CONTAGIOUS? Mine certainly were, and I didn’t understand why. I’d be sitting ALONE in my office, far away from everyone else in the building. There would be a software bug, and POW! I would feel this surge of emotion. Anger. Frustration. Rage at the ridiculousness of wasting so much time on a…

Tapping When Things Are Just Too HEAVY…
Sometimes we run into something that just seems too hard to do. For different reasons it can feel as impossible as trying to lift a 10,000 lb weight. Through a lot of trail and error, I’ve learned that the first thing I need to check is my primitive brain… If my survival or primitive brain…

I’ve committed to myself that I would do something important to my well-being and found myself procrastinating or distracting myself with Facebook and web surfing. You, too? I’ve at times wanted to curl up in a ball, or…

It won’t work for me.
Have you ever longed for what other people have… heard how they did it… and thought “It won’t work for me?” That painful longing can be so painful. So disheartening! Once our brain decides we can’t get there, we feel like a little kid looking through the window into a wonderland we can never visit.…

It Takes Too Much Time!
You’d think working 120 hours a week I’d have gotten A LOT done. And I did! I worried… A LOT. I stressed… A LOT. I struggled… A LOT. I felt stuck… trapped… A LOT. I wish I’d known back then that I was stuck in a “mode” that made it impossible for me to focus…

How much does your brain get in your way?
What do you think your limiting beliefs and fears take away from your life? I was surprised to be reminded how big an impact they can have, in a not very fun way, last week… I’ve cleared away a lot, and have gotten used to feeling pretty resilient through most things. (That doesn’t mean I…

Having Our Own Experiences
Have you ever had your experience colored by someone else? Your Mom, your best friend, your boss… They have strong opinions or reactions to something… and you somehow absorb them? It can be a place, a food, a person. In a sense, when that happens, something precious and beautiful can be lost… Your unique experience.…
