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 [...]

Choose a New Perspective and Resilience Follows

By Polly Campbell on April 8, 2013

Are you a worry wart? Do you spend time wishing and worrying over things that haven’t even happened yet? Preparing for the worst? Ruminating about what might come to pass? Give it up. Instead, accept that there will be trying times and leave the worry behind. The worst is going to come, people. If you [...]

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 [...]

How to get creativity flowing

How to get creativity flowing

By Polly Campbell on February 27, 2013

As soon as I start talking about creativity, people get a little freaked. “I’m not artistic,” they say. “I can’t even draw a straight line.” But you don’t have to be the next Georgia O’Keeffe (have you seen my Pictionary drawings?) to have fun, to be creative, to broaden your life. I’m talking about tapping into your [...]

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 [...]

Four Mood Changing Moves

Four Mood Changing Moves

By Polly Campbell on January 23, 2013

There really is something to this mind-body-spirit connection and when all three are in alignment you’re going to feel better. This is then, where spirituality and personal development become physical. Our posture and the way we move our bodies are a couple of the ways to connect the three dimensions of self. We forget to [...]

Move your body, change your mood

By Polly Campbell on January 21, 2013

The other night we spent 20 minutes looking for Racoony, a stuffed raccoon (we’re clever with our names here) that looks more like a rat. It was bedtime, exactly the moment when the light is to be off and we give last-minute kisses and head out of the bedroom. That was exactly the same minute [...]

Fulfill your desires by living close to your values

Fulfill your desires by living close to your values

By Polly Campbell on June 6, 2012

Can a clean house really contribute to a meaningful life and the happiness that comes from that? Sure can, but it all depends on what you value and how you fulfill those values. Plenty of science supports the Bigwigs who say our deepest sense of happiness comes from living a values-based life. This means that [...]

Three ways to power up your self- control

Three ways to power up your self- control

By Polly Campbell on April 18, 2012

  The more self-control you have the better able you will be to avoid eating an entire pizza in one sitting. The less likely you’ll be to pop off in frustration, or to buy the $200 shoes that you don’t really need. Decisions get easier and you’ll be calmer and less reactive. Still, we are [...]

How we are connect to all the universe

By Polly Campbell on March 21, 2012

I have always written about this greater connection — the thread that extends between all creatures and the Universe. No one is separate — though we think we are at times. Nor, are we separate from the Universal Source. The power is both within and outside of us. This nondual or single perspective is an [...]
