Quick Ways to Reduce Stress in the Moment

Quick Ways to Reduce Stress in the Moment

By Polly Campbell on May 15, 2013

But, when we get clear on all this, we [...]

Stress for Success?

Stress for Success?

By Polly Campbell on May 13, 2013

I made the mistake of looking at my To Do list when I got out of bed at 6 a.m. and immediately felt the jolt of stress. Too much to do + not enough time = freaking out. The equation for stress. But, then I decided to use that stress in a positive way. Instead [...]

Three Ways to Deal with People Who Drain You

By Polly Campbell on May 1, 2013

Ever met someone who only talks only about herself and always finds a way to bring the story back to her;  never once asking about you?

The Power of Synchronicity

By Polly Campbell on April 18, 2013

Four years ago, I stood at the kitchen sink complaining about my job. The assignments I’d taken weren’t all that interesting to me. They were then, just a way to pay the bills. I was grateful for that sure,  but I was tired too of working so hard to complete the uninspiring work done during [...]

The Gift of Humor -- An Excerpt from Full Cup, Thirsty Spirit

The Gift of Humor — An Excerpt from Full Cup, Thirsty Spirit

By Karen Horneffer-Ginter on March 1, 2013

I’m often struck by how great a gift it is to be able to laugh at ourselves and the predicaments we find ourselves in. I realize that this isn’t always possible. Sometimes when we’re most in need of humor, it sits outside the perimeter of what we can reach, which—in a sort of cruel way—can [...]

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 [...]
