Paddle Fabrication On The Brown And Stinky Creek! We’ve all been there. Nothing in our sights but nasty threats, impatiently waiting challenges, bad smelling dooms, and impossibly ugly situations. I am referring to the feeling of helplessly sailing into a paralyzing cacophony of menacing boogie-men and purple meanies just ready to pounce. There is a colloquial phrase for this-- colorfully expressed as being up a certain particularly smelly creek without a paddle. I think you know what I mean. While the threats may be more... Cooling Off In The Shadow Of Doubt! Cooling off in the shadow of doubt! Can I? Will I be able too? What if I fail? You have the training, skills, and knowledge necessary to accomplish a task or conquer a challenge, but a doubt or a fear of failure keeps you from moving toward your desired outcome. Sound familiar? The Self-Help world is filled with advice and technologies to render every doubt into a certainty. I know of at least a dozen NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) and hypnotic techniques that a... Making Yourself, And Others, Feel Good With Your Tongue! How to Make Yourself, and Others, Feel Good With your Tongue! We are blessed with a marvelous and mighty device that can, in moments, stir the best feelings, or the worst, in ourselves and in those around us. That device is, of course, our tongue. I am referring specifically to our tongue's capacity to produce sounds and words. In virtually any situation, any crowd of people, or any solitary moment, you are able to make massive changes in how you and anyone within earshot ... Drop The Mirror, And Grab The Steering Wheel! Imagine your life is like a road trip. You’ve packed, you have your bottled water and snacks handy, you’ve consulted the map and, after much deliberation, you’ve picked your desired destination. You turn up the radio, and off you go. Minute, hours, days, and years go by. Soon, you’ve gone through all of your snacks and most of your water. You’ve spent a king’s ransom on gas and car maintenance, collected an impressive collection of road scars—dings, dents, and flat tires—ye... Learn To Fail To "fail"! We are all very good at making ourselves feel bad. We come by the habit honestly. Think back to learning to spell in grammar school. Our tests come back from the teacher with the errors marked with red checks. A quick review of our formative years probably shows much more attention was paid to our failures, and those times when we fell short of expectations, than to those times that we succeeded, or even excelled. Often, only the top achievers—the best athletes and the bright... Live Like A Lover! What if you could always see the world through the eyes of someone in love? It is amazing how good we are at using our awesome brains to make ourselves feel bad! Ruminating over an embarrassing moment a week ago; beating ourselves up because we meant to say one thing, but actually said another; or just spending time worrying about the future are all extraordinarily poor uses of our magical thinking and feeling abilities. What if, instead, we focused on answering the que... Smile! Smile right now! Regardless of what is going on in your life I want you to smile. Smile big. Smile goofy. Smile a smile that spreads from your lips to your entire face and eyes, even your neck, shoulders, and scalp. Just smile! Let me talk to you about choices for a moment. Each moment we have a choice about how we feel. Most often, we are caught up in the events of the moment, and forget we have that choice. Whenever we remember, however, we can shift gears with a simple ... Kansas, Or Oz? ‘Welcome to my morning, welcome to my day. Yes, I'm the one responsible, I made it just this way.’ (Farewell Andromeda, John Denver) The alarm clock goes off, and a deep sleep unceremoniously crashes into another morning. Bleary eyed, after a speedy debate over 5 to ten more minutes of blessed ‘snooze alarm time’ you drag yourself to wakefulness. Gracelessly you stumble to the toilet, the coffee maker, and (shudder) perhaps that first cigarette as you reluctantly storm t... Why See A Hypnotist? Why see a hypnotist? Why does change, at times, seem so difficult? Why can’t we just make up our minds to change patterns of behaviors, thoughts, and emotions and have it happen that quickly? The ‘Holy Grail’ of change work, whether it be self-help, or through utilizing a coach or therapist, is the instant ‘quick fix’ change can rectify years of habitual behavior patterns in a few short moments. Oh, and while we’re at it let’s make those moments comfortable and relaxing. ...
