Starting New Habits is Uncomfortable … But Necessary for Success!
Well I survived my first day of my new commitments, and you know what? It wasn't that bad! I'm not saying that it was easy. If I did ... I'd be lying! Every time we start new habits it is very uncomfortable, but if we continue to do things the same way over and over and follow our old habits ... we can expect to live with the uncomfortable feeling of never achieving more. In my opinion, the second we stop striving to become better, we begin to die. You tell me ... What could be more uncomfortable than death?
Caution to the winds?
Yes, let’s throw caution to the winds and throw out our old habits with it. I just listened for the first time to my introduction to the Vancouver Dreaming Room recently past, and was I surprised!
Why Have We Always Done It THAT Way?
As you're continuously challenged to achieve more with fewer resources, at some point you start to wonder if you're trying to squeeze blood from a turnip. While it may not be possible to get vegetables to bleed, there are still countless opportunities to find a better way. What keeps us from pursuing them? Sometimes conventional wisdom can get in the way. By asking "Why Have We Always Done It THAT Way?", I briefly take an unconventional look at conventional wisdom.
Is It Just Me?
A client asked out loud a question that, I’m sure, many of us have thought in our own minds. “Is it just me? Why am I so sensitive? Why do I have so much mind chatter? Why are my feelings so on the surface? Is everyone like that?”
The Confidence to Let Go
It’s a challenge to really let go of our own private agendas. In working with clients, I often explore each opposite: “I want it my way” and “I let go”. These two points of view can fight it out within all of us and show up in our relationships with others.

My Own Worst Enemy
I was so surprised to find these beliefs inherently buried in my subconscious. Guiding my thoughts, my behaviors and my dreams. I thought I was far beyond my old habits of financial limitation - but guess what? I only limited them to my subconscious. They were still alive and kicking in the back of my mind.
The Vehicle Of Your Soul
I love the clients I work with. They are so committed to making a difference in the world. Many of them are like high performance racing cars. They speed around the track of life at breath-taking speeds. Unfortunately, many of them have refused to make a pit stop or take a break between races and their bodies, the vehicles of their soul, show sign of severe wear and tear, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Just like it's necessary to take our cars into the shop for servicing, it's important that we stop driving ourselves with our to-do lists long enough to reflect on old habits and attitudes that can rob us of our joy and can lead to serious breakdowns.

A Moment to Change
Trees grow up through their branches, down through their roots and grow wider with each passing year. As growth occurs, trees eventually shed their protective bark to make way for growth. Humans are the same way. Just as trees need bark as a protective shield while growth occurs, we as humans need boundaries to defend our vulnerabilities as our potential unfolds… but our ongoing growth depends on our ability to shed this “bark” of protection when it is no longer needed. In some cases, an inability to shed this bark will constrict our ability to realize our full potential.

Autumn is Approaching - Take Rest!
What are your priorities? What are your values? Are you living according to them or do you have a bunch of extra unnecessary things you are carrying along with you? Take Rest - A field that has rested gives a bountiful crop. - Ovid
Change Is a Life or Death Matter
People resist change, even when it's beneficial. Even when we try to make a difference, too often we do not succeed. Perhaps the problem lies in the starting point. Change begins when we begin to refocus our own awareness. All personal and professional change is an inside job.
