How to Let go of Excessive Worry
Do you worry too much? One of big reasons why we worry so much is because we are trained for left brained verbal thinking. We are not trained to feel! In fact, we are often taught to “Just be cool”, thus encouraging us to deny our emotions. But these emotions don’t go away on their own. They get lodged in our tissues to reek havoc in our mental and physical health as we age. Also if we couldn’t count on our parents while young, then we might have inadvertently been trained to worry. After all, we had lots of responsibilities. We needed to...
read moreGoodbye Sabotage, Hello Self-compassion
Have you ever wondered why we self-sabotage? We often call it addictions. And yes, we develop addictions by repeating the same action over and over. But why? Addictions, whether they are to food, alcohol or an obsessive-compulsive habit such as hand washing, are how we self-soothe to deal with our unpleasant, anxiety-prone reality. I have a client who I’ve worked with to release a lot of self-sabotaging behaviors. She wasn’t exercising enough, drinking enough water, or eating well. We released the negative beliefs, emotions, addictive...

Do you know people who are always getting in their own way? People who take a step towards progress, and then seem to run away? There are many people that regularly get in the way of their own healing, and there are a variety of reasons. It is not due to an inherent weakness, but subconscious barriers that occur as a result of their past. In my last article, I discussed the 1st subconscious block to healing. I’ve included 3 more in the following videos. You’ll learn about subconscious barriers to healing that:...

read moreFive Mindset Shifts To Go With The Flow
I was taught early in life that hard work was the key to success. If we didn’t get a perfect report card, we were told that it was because we weren’t working hard enough. Because I had a learning disability and didn’t get the support I needed, I learned that I’d have to struggle to get what I wanted. So that set me on the early course of constantly striving to be better, subconsciously hoping that I could some day gain the acceptance I so desperately craved. While I now work hard for other reasons, I still find that the harder I push myself,...
read moreHow to Stay Informed Without Getting Depressed
I’ve always been troubled by massive injustices inflicted upon fellow citizens. In my quest to determine how to prevent a future Holocaust for example, I needed to understand what caused it. One of the most important lessons I learned in my college course, “Introduction to Political Freedom”, is that the most horrific injustices of the world occur when we are not paying attention and when we disengage. Thus, I’m a big believer that it is essential to stay informed and engaged in what is going on in the world, and to do what you can to make it...
read moreThe Personal Benefits of Being Kind and Generous
For most of my life, I struggled with the being kind and generous. I had grown up in a household where it was a struggle to get my needs met. So my irrational subconscious believed in scarcity, and I felt like I was giving away more than I had to give. When I realized this, I released my subconscious barriers to kindness and generosity, and found it a lot easier to give and to contribute without feeling depleted or resentful. Friendships became easier, and I felt better about myself! In the US, we have super rich people that hoard cash at the...
read moreWhy the Movie “The Secret” is Not Enough
I remember when I first saw that movie, “The Secret”. I was at a conference with scientists and thought leaders, and many people strongly urged me to watch it. But I remember, as I watched, my sense of unease began to grow and grow. I got so uncomfortable with it that I got nauseous, and kept wanting to walk out. Why? It reminded me too much of my early life experience with religion. Coming from a deeply religious family, I was told that if I just believed in Him, that God would provide. But that seemed way to simple to be true, and I got...
read moreWhen Expressing Anger is the Healthiest Choice
I grew up with an angeraholic. My father seemed to be critical and angry about everything, and much of that anger was directed towards me. I decided at a young age that all of his anger wasn’t healthy and that I wasn’t going to maliciously unleash my anger at others just because they were easy targets. But I was furious with him! He would scream at me for not working hard enough, for not being good enough in school, or any “hobbies” he’d chosen for me. Yet, when it came to get any support I needed, classes or tutoring so that I could...
read moreThe Dangers of Putting Yourself Last
I have a client that spent 35 years dedicated to helping her husband excel. She helped him organize his space, prioritize his health, and she kept him fed and the house cleaned so that he could concentrate on his career. She told herself that she was doing it because of her unselfish and undying love for him, even though he didn’t seem to appreciate her or her efforts. Meanwhile, he wasn’t affectionate with her, and was often distant and aloof. But as he distanced himself more, she would justify his actions to herself. She held on to...
