Trapped in an Invisible Cage  Are you trapped in an invisible cage - of negative thoughts?  Are thoughts sabotaging you?  Or helping you succeed? Spring Cleaning - Bad Habits  Spring is a good time to start thinking about how to rid yourself of bad habits - just like pulling weeds out of your garden.  Learn some techniques that will help you replace bad habits with good ones! Have You Found Your Pot of Gold?  People who earn a living doing what they really like to do are like Leprechauns.   They enjoy life and expect rainbows after a heavy rain.  They believe in Unicorns – they believe they can actually have their DREAMS!  And because they believe, they make them happen.  They take ACTION. . Love Yourself and Others More  There’s one person in your life who really, really needs this love, affection, and appreciation every day.  Do you know who it is?  YOU!  I have so many people who come into my office telling me they don’t have good self esteem or they don’t feel worthy of love, or they feel inferior to others.  Way more common than maybe you would expect.  I’ll have to acknowledge, it surprised me for a long time.  And still saddens me to think a person would feel this way about themselves. . Day After Day - Habits Create Your Life  Where do habits live?  In our SubConscious.  Thankfully!  Imagine what it would be like if we didn’t have habits, and we actually had to think about what we were doing all the time!  As long as you keep on doing the same things – hanging on to the same old habits, your life isn’t going to change – at least not for the better.  And the longer you hold onto a habit – the stronger it gets.
