What can you accomplish in the next 9 days?

9 minutes 9 hours 9 days That’s my formula. I spend 9 minutes planning how I will spend 9 hours over the next 9 days really focused on my big goal. Why these timeframes? 9 minutes is enough to make a from-the-heart plan without too much thinking. 9 hours over nine days works out toContinue reading “What can you accomplish in the next 9 days?”

What do you want?

I have long resisted actually writing down what it is that I want. When I write it down, it becomes real and I have to deal with why I have been too scared to pursue it. Recently, I enrolled in a course that involves a lot of journaling. One of the things I got super-clearContinue reading “What do you want?”

Trapped emotions = trapped fat?

So, feelings. I’m talking about the ones we don’t like – anger, guilt, sadness, fear – those all (as near as I can tell) come pre-installed. They are natural. There is nothing wrong with you if you feel the “negative” feelings. Anger – this comes up when your boundaries are violated Guilt – you haveContinue reading “Shame is like a virus”
