This one thing will eliminate your desire to binge
I coached a mom last week. She told me she binges when she’s doing something for her children. Especially when it’s unplanned or unexpected. Like when they forget their lunch and she drives it to them, eating cookies all the way. Or when they tell her they need help with a project that’s due tomorrow, […]
Who knows your body better than you do?
No one knows your body better than you do. Because the messages your body sends you are only available to you, if you listen. It’s so tempting to believe that someone else knows what you need to do to lose weight, or get fit and strong. And there are so many experts who have so […]
Do you want to be exceptional?
My nephew, a serious, spiritual and religious teenager, and I were discussing his future. I have a soft spot for this kid – he made me an aunt. He was accepted into a prestigious engineering program, and received permission to defer his studies so that he could spend two years furthering his religious education in […]
What thought barriers can you break today?
I love the story of the 4 minute mile Do you know it? Until 1954, no one was known to run a mile in under 4 minutes. All the fastest runners tried and tried and couldn’t do it. Until Roger Bannister did it. Suddenly all those elite runners who had failed were doing it. Running […]
Does it really matter what other people think?
I was at an event with my family on Saturday night. All dressed up and fancy. Fitted little black dress. Feeling quite hot, if the truth be told. We walked into a crowded room. Not many seats left. Had to walk across the front of the room to the remaining seats. When I sat down, […]
Want to learn more about experiencing ease in your life?
The weather here is unusually cold. That. Is an understatement. It’s freezing every day. For Toronto. Which is always very cold this time of year! I can’t remember when I was more grateful for my learned awareness that I have full power over my emotions. Wherever I go, people are blaming the weather for their […]
Are you here? For you?
I’m reflecting on probably the most calming thing I heard last year. My Grad School and I committed to a Six Month Challenge in August. We each chose a goal and outcome and we’re working towards it by studying our minds and learning how to use them to create what we want. It’s enormously enlightening […]
Who or what is your teacher right now?
What’s happening that you wish weren’t happening? That’s your teacher. What is it there to teach you? The idea that the person/experience in front of you is your teacher is comforting to me. The irritating driver, your impossible colleague, your protruding stomach. Here’s mine. I recently developed Raynaud’s Syndrome. That’s doctor speak for frozen, numb, […]
Do you know what foods best fuel you?
Let me clarify my question: do you know which foods best fuel your body? Not what Dr. Oz says. Or your nutritionist. Or your trainer/mother/lover/best friend. Many of us have relinquished the definition of their ideal diet to a bunch of experts. Whose mind keeps changing. And who often contradict each other! I think all […]
