WOO YOUR LIFE & RELATIONSHIPS
Have you ever had to do something so unpleasant that the thought alone would send your anxiety through the roof?
The very idea of doing it has the power to set your skin on fire, deprive you of sleep, and highjack your thoughts. Your heart jumps frantically as if it wants to break out of your body and hide somewhere safe. [Read more…]
We all want to change something in our lives.

Exhausted, you fall in bed.
You stretch your aching body under the sheets and close your eyes. Waiting for relief…
But your mind won’t hush.
Thoughts, replays of conversations—real and imagined—start running through your head like a circus carousel.

Imagine…
You wake up in the morning refreshed and energized, feeling that your life is real, not a dream.
You smile at your reflection in the bathroom mirror and say hello to a busy blue titmouse in a birdhouse outside. Then you enjoy your morning yoga routine while bathing in the sun flooding the room.
Feeling strong and capable of facing whatever challenges life throws your way. That, no matter what’s going to happen, you will be fine.
Sigh…

Good enough is a foreign concept. One of the best wouldn’t do.
You aim at THE BEST.
You push yourself far and beyond to keep the house pristine, everyone satisfied and job done ahead of the deadline.
Like a bulldozer, you propel forward at the highest possible speed sweeping away the mess and pulling others under the blade. Persistent and unstoppable.
Until you run out of gas.
Plummeting into the inertia of complete overwhelm.
Feeling frustrated, guilty and ashamed. [Read more…]
