Many strategies to boost happiness encourage us to “let go”. The message is often that we should let go of negative emotions like anger, resentment, pain and hurt. But letting go of any feeling is challenging for most of us. We often have a particularly hard time when we try to let go of the […]
According to Wikipedia, gossip is “idle talk or rumor, especially about the personal or private affairs of others; the act is also known as dishing or tattling”. Put another way, we gossip when we talk about someone else. Someone else who is usually not present. Or when we share other people’s secrets. One definition I […]
We use the term often and too casually. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is not a subject that should be taken lightly. It’s not just about feeling more comfortable when books face the same way, or about having a desire for an orderly pantry.

It seems like common sense: friendships make us feel good, so they must be good for us, right? Our friends help us enjoy life by sharing fun experiences and providing companionship.

Back in high school science, we were presented with a kind of riddle. We were given a range of materials to use and were asked to attempt to fill a jar to its absolute fullest potential.

Each day, we make choices. Many seem insignificant: what to eat, what to wear, where to shop. But consistently making choices that help us feel fulfilled can ultimately change the quality of our lives. Just choosing to do things that bring us joy. And choosing not to do things that don’t. Or deciding to do […]
We have talked before about how doing new things helps boost happiness. Those with an innate sense of curiosity are usually those most likely to try new things.

I’ve studied wellness and have read oodles of psychology, motivational and self-help books. I’ve experimented with well-being and wellness tactics and strategies and explored various approaches with colleagues and friends. Based on what I’ve learned, I’ve come up with a recipe that I call the “Secret Sauce” for well-being. It includes 7 basic ingredients we […]
“Compassion fatigue” refers to symptoms we experience due to prolonged stress from caring for, comforting, or empathizing with others. This ailment has become prevalent in our society and can lead to feelings of overwhelm, helplessness and depression. Compassion fatigue may also impact our physical health and put us at greater risk for serious illnesses. In […]
We most often speak of intimacy related to physical or sexual encounters. But intimacy has a much broader definition and is an essential component of a wide range of relationships. Sadly, many of our relationships today suffer from a lack of intimacy. It’s important for us to learn how to restore intimacy – before it’s too […]
Understanding and articulating what we believe we are born to do – our unique life purpose – is one of the most powerful ways to focus our finite personal development energy in the right places. It’s also one of the most effective ways to begin to visualize and become our best selves. And when we […]
As far as we know, we only get one life to live! It’s best for all of us to make the most of this gift we’ve been given. To do so, we must take good care of ourselves. This includes looking after both our mental and physical health. Ideally, we need to manage stress, watch […]

Life is so busy. We all have responsibilities such as family and work that must be attended to and require the majority of our time and attention.

Do you have a vision of the life you want to lead in the future? A real, crystal-clear picture? How often do you think about it? Embellish it? Fine-tune it? Do your dreams include vivid examples of what your life will be like after you achieve them? When you’re actually living that future vision, living […]
