Six questions that can shape your life

By Polly Campbell on April 11, 2012

For many, the art of asking questions is part of a spiritual contemplation.

Four ways to create a feel-good environment

By Polly Campbell on January 25, 2012

Want to feel more creative and inspired – raise the roof, literally.

How a change in scenery changes your brain

How a change in scenery changes your brain

By Polly Campbell on January 23, 2012

My space is cozy and tidy. The papers that are on my desk are in neat piles. A few loose newspaper clippings are scattered about. Three books sit stacked on the corner and box of pens lays along the outer edge of that desk. This is just about right. Too much clutter, and I become [...]

Pick a theme to guide your year and your goals

Pick a theme to guide your year and your goals

By Polly Campbell on January 4, 2012

I am a goal-minded girl.  I love sitting down at the end of every year, with my pad and pen in hand, plotting and planning all the things I want to accomplish in the upcoming days, weeks, year. But, several years ago, I realized that while specific planning did help me reach some of my goals, at [...]

Use deliberate intention to create what you desire

Use deliberate intention to create what you desire

By Polly Campbell on December 5, 2011

What is it you want to create in your life? How do you want to feel? What do you want to contribute or accomplish? What is your intention? Everything in your life ripples out from your intentions. You desire a particular outcome – say you intend to eat an orange – then every other detail comes together [...]

Four Ways to Find Quiet Moments In Your Day

Four Ways to Find Quiet Moments In Your Day

By Polly Campbell on September 14, 2011

I’ve got plenty of anecdotal experience that demonstrates the value of quiet time. When a moment to myself – or a moment free from noise and chaos – I feel so much better. Balanced. Calm. Able to jump buildings in a single bound and all that stuff. After even a few moments of quiet, I [...]

Tap into your imagination and get creative

Tap into your imagination and get creative

By Polly Campbell on August 31, 2011

We are each creators of our own lives. Life is, uh, the play-dough then, (yes, play-dough is my current artistic medium) and we get to mold it, form it, roll it, guide it, into any shape we like. In order to create a masterpiece, then, we need to tap into a quality most of us [...]

Reconnect with your innate creativity

Reconnect with your innate creativity

By Polly Campbell on August 29, 2011

Think you’re not creative? Baloney. Everyone is. It’s innate and just about every aspect of life requires some measure of creativity. Think negotiating with a teenager, or coming up with a different sack lunch idea or managing a marriage or painting a picture or leading a staff. It all pulls from our creative muscle and [...]

Making even a short break powerful

Making even a short break powerful

By Polly Campbell on August 17, 2011

It takes more than a change of location to access the benefits that come with a vacation like better sleep, (even when you return), a healthier heart, better immune function, lower stress, and more joy. To maximize those feel-good qualities, you’ve got to shift your focus from the stress-producing routine to something that lightens and [...]
