Change and uncertainty are major stresses for most of us, and two things we’re bound to experience plenty of in this life. So, stop getting all freaked out when the unexpected occurs and shift your focus to managing the uncertainty and thriving despite it. Come on now, you can do this. Start by changing how [...]
Each week I make a to-do list with a naive certainty that everything will come to pass. I act like nothing else will come into my life at exactly 8:30 when it’s time to write the blog post, or that my husband will always walk in at 4:15, or that I’ll find just what I [...]
Want to feel more creative and inspired – raise the roof, literally. Research by the bigwigs from the University of Minnesota Center for Spirituality and Healing showed that ceiling height can affect the thought process. People were more detail oriented when working under an eight foot ceiling and more abstract when the ceiling was raised [...]
Feeling low? Go do something for someone else. Not kidding. I’ve written before about the importance of giving and serving. It’s a biggie. Not only does it make others feel good, but it is actually healing for you. Generosity reduces stress, improves immune system response and helps the heart and improves mental health, says Dr. [...]
