Sorry, I’ve made it a point to post a blog a week, but instead of skipping one week, I skipped two…doh! Truth be told, I have actually been working on The Viable Alternative, but on other things and with my busy schedule, I couldn’t fit in the blog as well.

I’m sure in each of our lives, we’ve seen or heard of someone who’s living what we’d view as an incredible lifestyle. The person is in great shape and is very healthy, he or she earns a lot of money, is in a fulfilling, loving romantic long term relationship or has an active, fun dating life, has great friends, has a career or a business that is very fulfilling, regularly engages in activities that he or she enjoys, overall has a great attitude, and most importantly, the person is HAPPY.

I mentioned in my blog STOP Trying to Make Sense of the Change, Transformation or Shift You’re Experiencing how I’ve started to really dislike going to the gym beyond the normal lack of motivation. It’s like the same zest and fire that kept me working out consistently for the past fifteen years is gone and because I feel like I’m just going through the motions, it’s been a lot easier for me to just opt out of going at all.

Ike Love

I’ve always been fascinated by stories of people transforming their lives in various areas, but in the midst of my fascination, it wasn’t until recently that I realized that I’m going through one of my own.

Last week, last Wednesday to be exact, has marked one year since I started therapy, body oriented therapy that is, and hitting this milestone of completing my “Freshman year” of therapy has compelled my to sit back and reflect how I’ve changed. Read more…

I’m still digging as to why I’ve struggled and “just get by” financially for most of my adult life, and why, oh why, when success is just about to pop off in my life, something happens to sabotage it.

In the past two weeks I’ve come to a couple of realizations that have shed light on this matter both of which tie into me being disconnected from my emotions. Read more…

It’s NOT about You, It’s about Your Legacy Stupid, So Get over Yourself!

May 19th, 2015 No comments

Mount Rushmore

It’s funny, but when I used to hear people talk about leaving a legacy, it logically made sense as something that should be taken into consideration, but it never really resonated deeply within me so I never took the question of what type of legacy I wanted to leave to heart. Read more…

Rachel Howland Milwaukee

Among honouring yourself and consistently stepping out of your comfort zone, one of the cornerstones of developing a high self esteem is becoming aware of your self defeating thoughts, habits, patterns, behaviours and emotions (I explain more about this in a blog I wrote several years back titled, “3 Ways to Improve Your Self Esteem and Take Back Your Power“). Not being aware of them is like being in a boat unaware that there’s a hole in it and wondering why no matter how hard you row you have to struggle to stay afloat. Read more…
