Why Some People Leave You Feeling Drained

Why Some People Leave You Feeling Drained

By Polly Campbell on April 29, 2013

Ever shared an exciting moment with someone who was hyper-critical and negative about your good news? Or, met someone who was friendly, sure, but never once asked about you? Ever talked to someone who went on and on about their own troubles? Could be you were in the presence of a human energy drain. Dr. [...]

Connecting to the Good Stuff: Work That Inspires, Uplifts

By Polly Campbell on April 1, 2013

I’m not a super social person. I’m pretty much happy typing away alone at my desk or reading my books. But, the relationships I have with my family and a few close friends make all the difference in how well I live this life. Big wigs tell us it’s our relationships – our friendships, marriages [...]

Five simple ways to help us think better

Five simple ways to help us think better

By Polly Campbell on March 13, 2013

Neural pathways are like highways in the brain. They provide information flow and response by creating routes throughout the nervous system. The routes that we use more frequently, to sustain habits or perform repeated tasks, feel more comfortable because the signals travel along well-established pathways.  Signals flash through them easily like cars racing down the [...]

Creativity adds life, energy to the same old routine

By Polly Campbell on February 25, 2013

My daughter has this ongoing project where she takes trash, bottle caps and bubble wrap, pencil shavings, scraps of ribbon, and tin foil, packing peanuts and popcorn kernels and just about anything else she can find to create a world on a flat of cardboard. With a glue gun, singular pockets of an egg carton [...]

Practice gives boost to spiritual growth

Practice gives boost to spiritual growth

By Polly Campbell on February 18, 2013

The biggest obstacle we face en route to spiritual growth and personal development is not money. It isn’t even time. We’ve got enough of both to grow right now. No, the biggest obstacle is – that we forget to do it. Or we come up with excuses not to. Come on, People. Seriously. We make [...]

Six ways to improve your relationship

Six ways to improve your relationship

By Polly Campbell on February 13, 2013

Remember in the beginning when you were so connected you could finish each other’s sentences? You knew just what your partner was thinking and you hung on every breath thinking he or she was the smartest, bestest thing out there? Now though, after years together, all that feels familiar and just plain boring. One of [...]

How to ease stress and improve your relationship

How to ease stress and improve your relationship

By Polly Campbell on February 11, 2013

I’ve been travelling — a lot. And, a crazy thing happened: I realized that I really missed my husband. When I was tired and worn and returning to a hotel room at night, I thought of  how good it would have felt to have him there. Okay, maybe not on the first night. I mean that [...]

How to practice mindfulness at mealtimes

How to practice mindfulness at mealtimes

By Polly Campbell on February 4, 2013

We ate waffles last night. For dinner. We made them from a mix. It was something I could do quickly at the end of a hectic day. We did add real, organic eggs so that’s almost like making them from scratch, right? But this post isn’t about waffle eating, though I’m telling you, they were [...]

Don't worry about staying balanced, just keep yourself grounded

Don’t worry about staying balanced, just keep yourself grounded

By Polly Campbell on January 7, 2013

Life feels a little out of balance — and that’s fine by me. It’s often like this. I’m busy. Engaged. Got lots of interesting things going on. Right now, I’m running in different directions, trying to finish last minute deadlines, and pay the bills and get the groceries, and make it to my kid’s school [...]

You can make a difference

By Polly Campbell on January 2, 2013

The biggest changes are often a result of the smallest kindnesses. The world is filled with countless examples of individuals who alone made a profound and grand, contribution. Often you may start alone, with a baby step, but soon others will be swept up in your kindness too. When you lead with compassion, you will [...]
