Hey Reader, We're living in an era obsessed with self-improvement, but sometimes our desire to understand ourselves becomes another way of being dissatisfied with ourselves. What's help me have a healthier response to stress is the ability to notice myself honestly. What thought's are in my mind? What physical sensation is in my body? What feeling best describes this moment? What do I see in my environment? Your Reflection:What are you currently trying to “figure out” about yourself that might simply need to be noticed? Your Next Move:Don't change anything. Just notice the pattern three times. Stop trying so hard to figure yourself out. You're not a problem! Let's practice noticing instead. And if you need help noticing, that's something we can do together in 60 minutes of private coaching.

There’s something I’ve noticed about self-awareness. Most of us have gotten really good at observing ourselves… and really bad at being kind to the person we’re observing. We notice the pattern: “I always do this.” We recognize the behavior: “I knew I was going to do that.” We identify the trigger: “Of course that happened. I know exactly why.” And then we use our newfound awareness as evidence against ourselves. See? I’m still doing it. I should be further along. I should know better. I’ve...
I have a question for you Reader, What if you already know? Not everything. Not exactly how it’s going to work out. Not every step between where you are and where you want to be. But what if somewhere underneath all the thinking, researching, asking, analyzing, second-guessing and trying to make the “right” decision… you already know something? Maybe you know the relationship isn’t the problem. Maybe you know the relationship is the problem. Maybe you know you need to rest. Maybe you know you...
