Your Messy Life

As I coach people, one thing comes up again and again. Their lives are messy and it’s driving them nuts. They’re desperate to get on “the path” – the linear, predictable steady ascent that ends up on the summit of happiness and success. They see their friends on Instagram always at swanky restaurants, Ibiza, or Burning Man and feel small and insignificant by comparison. The breaking news I have for them involves two deep truths:

The Command Center – Who Is Running Your Life?

Last post we looked at how asking the right question can move your focus from the external to the internal. Here’s why this is so critical. We all have a “command center” (subconscious mind) that governs our behavior. Think of it like the bridge and ship’s computer on the Starship Enterprise. Either you control the command center, or it controls you.

The Question to Ask Yourself

Most people spend their life searching for answers. But I find that searching for better questions produces much better results. The only caveat is that if you ask the wrong question, the answer is irrelevant. Or even misleading.

Fresh Start Monday

How has 2019 been for you so far? Can you believe that we’re already at July 23rd, well over the halfway mark? You might be making solid progress towards your goals, or maybe you’re lagging. Maybe that new project isn’t moving as quickly as you thought it would? Maybe your diet or exercise program haven’t achieved the results you were hoping for. You could be having some doubts about your progress and potential. So why not make today a reset?

Upgrading Your Mindset

Last post we were discussing optimism versus pessimism. Did you know there are some genetic factors that influence your optimism? About 50% of your personality traits are determined by your genes and family origin. So you may have been born optimistic. Or pessimistic.
