RELEASING GUILT
Guilt that motivates us to apologize fulfills the purpose of experiencing the guilt in the first place. This is the virtuous side of guilt.

It destroys our emotional energy and leaves us feeling immobilized and deeply entrenched in shame.

THOUGHTS ON OVERTHINKING

NEW YEAR 2021: THE LESSONS OF 2020
2020 was a challenging year for many of us. It was a year of change, loss and uncertainty. It was also a year of growth, understanding and shifts in perspective.
But can we really move forward into 2021 creating something new if we haven’t reconciled the lessons of 2020?

BRAIN DUMP: GET IT OFF YOUR MIND AND DONE!
Imagine this: The sensation of a million thoughts whizzing through your mind. So many things… So many jobs and to-dos and items to be taken care of. Thoughts and feelings and events…all jumbled together in one big mess. A million things that keep whizzing and soon you’ve spent an hour overwhelmed and stressed trying to figure out where to start. That’s mental clutter. That’s why we Brain Dump.

ON BEING RESPONSIBLE…

Boundaries are essential to healthy relationships and a healthy life. Having healthy boundaries means that you know and understand what your limits are. By recognizing the need to set and enforce limits, you protect your self-esteem, maintain self-respect, and enjoy healthy relationships.

JOURNALING: A POWERFUL RESOURCE
Keeping a diary, is exactly the same as keeping a journal. Except that now we’re adults. And at this point, it’s more about understanding ourselves and less about who likes who and who doesn’t.

SELF-ACCEPTANCE: IS SELF-IMPROVEMENT NECESSARY?
The thought surrounding self-improvement implies that something is wrong with a person and is loaded with negativity and baggage around ‘work’ that needs to be done. It’s a grudging bothersome task that many decide just isn’t for them.

BUSY
In these moments …these snippets of discomfort….we see things as they really are. We connect with our souls and are faced with the reality of what we have created. In the quiet – the lack of ‘busy’ – we are forced to reflect on our lives…

COVID ANXIETY: WHAT’S YOUR CHOICE?
In this new world of the pandemic and whatever the ‘new normal’ is going to be, there’s an added level of stress for many of us: Job’s don’t look the same, school doesn’t look the same, some people have been made redundant, more have had financial difficulties and the typical trip to the grocery store happens once a week under a mask and with sanitized hands.
