I've always had a bit of anxiety where I wonder and think too much of what's next. What's Monday going to bring? Do I have enough time to do my work after meetings? How will that presentation go? Will I be able to go to the gym and make brunch plans? What happens if I ...
that damn hamster wheel
...do you ever feel like you're stuck on it? The hamster wheel that keeps turning in circles and you're stuck doing the same thing over and over again and you can't remember the last time you did something different? The past couple weeks I felt like that. I felt like a robot or hamster on that ...
How much will you let them withdraw?
Are you a "people pleaser"? The type of person who is always there for a friend or family member in "need"? The person who people vent to and lean on on a regular basis? Hey that's not a bad thing. It means you're reliable, people trust you, and know they can count on you. All wonderful ...
three ways to feel more fulfilled
Most of us...or at least I'd like to believe...want to leave this world a better place. They want to make an impact. They want to leave a legacy. They want to help people, the earth, and make life a little bit better for themselves, their family, and those that they leave behind. We want a ...
Give yourself a break
Especially those of us who live here in the U.S., work in big cities, and are always on the go (generalizing of course), don't seem to take a minute to just hit pause. We're constantly moving on to the next thing in our day or on our to-do list. Ever think how badly we're burning ...
Avoid the quicksand

Isn't there a saying from Albert Einstein stating, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results”. But why do we do ...
Be Humble
Some of the most loved folks - celebrities, professors, C suite folks, etc have one thing in common. And it's not intelligence and ambition. It's not just great leadership. It's the ability to be humble. I've found that the bosses and friends I've enjoyed the company of most are humble the majority of the time. I ...
Eat with a Purpose
I know I've been there...it's a lazy Saturday, raining outside, and you can't help but veg on the couch. It starts with a flavorful breakfast. Then a snack. Then another, and another. It's mindless eating, and you're eating just because...not because you actually need to eat or are that hungry. It's a random craving, that ...
What I Know to Be True… Right Now
Written by contributing blogger, Daniela Forte. I have learned a lot of harsh lessons recently. I'm not sure whether these lessons are meant to harden me or transition me into a new phase of life. But these lessons are what I know to be true right now. People Are Here Today, Gone Tomorrow: Not everyone who is ...
Give yourself permission
What fulfills you? What makes you happy each day? Is it sleeping in a little longer, or taking time to cook a full dinner, or perhaps it's giving yourself the time to sit and meditate. Whatever it might be, give yourself permission. Allow yourself the time and ability to do what makes you feel better. I've ...
