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 [...]

The Power of Friendship

By Polly Campbell on April 3, 2013

Just got off the phone with a good friend. We compared notes about writing assignments, commiserated about book sales, talked about her dogs and my kid and even lamented that the weather in Charlotte is too hot. The forecast where I am too cold. That’s all. We didn’t figure out how to stop oil from spilling into [...]

By Polly Campbell on March 20, 2013

With spring just a week away, it’s time for a little spring cleaning.

Clean Out the Closet and Ease Your Stress

Clean Out the Closet and Ease Your Stress

By Polly Campbell on March 18, 2013

For the last year, I’m embarrassed to say, my nemesis was a closet in the hallway. The one where the dishtowels were folded and then jammed between a file box and the wall, below the children’s Motrin, which was next to the paper plates, of course, and the and the nail polish and the blender [...]

Cross-talk can fire up our brain function

Cross-talk can fire up our brain function

By Polly Campbell on March 11, 2013

About a year ago, I mixed things up around her. In a big way. Well, sort of. I mean it felt like a big way. I moved my computer mouse from the right side of my desk, where it could be easily reached by my dominant right hand, to the left side of my desk. [...]

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 [...]

Slow your “life rhythm” and healthy eating habits will follow

Slow your “life rhythm” and healthy eating habits will follow

By Sherri Sacconaghi on February 6, 2013

Last week I was watching my kids compete over who could make their ice cream cone last the longest. As adults we would usually find ourselves gobbling down that ice cream as fast as possible between work, school, gym, carpools, and countless errands. Well grownups, we are missing out.  Not only are we missing out [...]

Six ways to stay grounded

Six ways to stay grounded

By Polly Campbell on January 9, 2013

I no longer strive to keep it all in balance. What I’m going for is groundedness. A way to stay connected to myself and my inner source even when day around me ebbs and flows with errands and stresses and opportunities and unexpected demands. Even when things are out of balance, you can find peace [...]
