Adding to last week’s blog we’re back at affirmations (again)!! We’ve been here before via a couple of previous blogs so let’s review what a successful affirmation is. A successful affirmation occurs when you: make a declarative statement using yourself in the present tense state in an empowering way what you do want are clear and specific elicit emotion and feeling keep it simple, if possible, in one sentence In last week’s blog, of the 5 (1a to 1e examples listed), the affirmations arising from them might look like: I am sleeping soundly and awakening feeling more rejuvenated after … [Read more...]
Have a Heart
Have a heart: It's February and of course the month we often focus more closely on the heart. In my own journey, it is an eye-opening realization that the people who are truly happy are the ones who are authentic and work from a place of unconditional love. It begins with self first, then they radiate outward to others. It matters not how much they've got, their pedigree, their school, business or how many degrees they have. While achievements and heart-warming accolades are wonderful in themselves, they can be empty unless realized through an open heart and sense of “oneness” or connection … [Read more...]
SOS is the State of Stuck: Limiting Beliefs
Part 2 of 4 Ever been stuck? Like really stuck. Just not able to move forward? I have and I've found it's more often than not related to a number of things.. the last blog looked at Clarity.

Find Your Voice When…
“You begin to realize that the safest thing you can do feels risky and the riskiest thing you can do is feel safe.” (1) Are you an inherent risk taker? I'm not talking about the lack of thought from an uncalculated risk. I am speaking about honouring your inner voice to explore your surroundings, your options and your environment. What else is out there for us to do? What's in store around the next turn? Visionaries, scientists, artists and thought leaders explore and take that risk. They put themselves and often their reputations on the line. Galileo, Copernicus, Magellan, Columbus, … [Read more...]
Harmony or Balance?
We hear of achieving ‘Balance” and “Life-work balance” but is balance really what we want to achieve? Isn’t balance a fixed word implying no motion? It represents equilibrium, a flat line. Look at scales. What happens when they are balanced? Nature and life exhibit motion, direction and cycles of life so why would we try to achieve something that just has no motion present? There is a saying by BJ Palmer, “life is motion and motion is life”. So by the time we achieve balance in our bodies we have expired. Is balance healthy for an organization or business?
