When I read Tracy A.’s newest piece, Top 10 Things Between You and a Great Life, it felt eerie.
I thought, “This girl’s been reading my mail!”
Because, at one time or another, I’ve fallen into every one of these traps. And I bet you have, too.
Having them listed and explained eloquently, as Tracy does here (reprinted with permission), is a powerful resource for motivational behavior change… I expect to review the list often. Just to remind myself of the tempting and almost automatic habits, cop-outs and defensive behaviors to work around.

Top 10 Things Between You and a Great Life
by Tracy A.
If you’re not living the life you dream about (and if you’re like most people you’re not) then identifying what’s getting in your way could be the most valuable way you’ve ever spent your time. Here are the Top 10 Things that come Between You and a Great Life!
1. Playing it safe.
One of the hardest things for most people to do is to risk the level of success they’ve achieved in order to reach the next level, but playing it safe isn’t the way most people dream of living.
2. Being comfortable.
We all have a desire to coast at times but settling into your comfort zone is a death knell for an extraordinary life. Where in your life are you choosing comfortable over greatness?
3. Avoiding rejection.
If you’re like me you’re OK with taking risks as long as they’re not too risky! I’m not a big believer in jumping off cliffs and building wings on the way down; I just don’t believe that life has to be that frantic but I do know that my fear of rejection is one of the fears that I still struggle with and it’s been eye opening to take a look at how it really gets in my way.
4. Procrastinating.
We tell ourselves some fantastic stories to increase our level of comfort with not getting off our duff and going on there and really scuffling it up on the (more…)

“Wag more. Bark less.”
Bumpersticker wisdom I saw for the second time yesterday.
And, in general, damn good advice, says he who probably growls, whines and bares his teeth far, far too much.
Over the decades of mind-body research, multiple studies have observed the many physical, emotional and social benefits of behaviors that can be summarized essentially as “wag more; bark less.”
Well-done scientific studies have looked at things like full-hearted laughter, loving attitudes, smiling. And the science is this: Laugh more, love more, smile more and the world laughs, loves and smiles more with you.
Who wouldn’t want that?
So, wag more. Bark less.
Because when you get down to the nitty gritty, wagging is nothing more than a delighfully engaging way of expressing a full-body smile.

The most powerful form of meditation that you can practice is both the easiest and the most difficult.
What I mean by that paradox is that this meditation is easy to do and difficult to sustain.
This form of meditation is easy to practice in part because you can do it anywhere at any time in any situation. It doesn’t require quiet, aloneness, fixation on a sound or mantra or image or any particular breathwork, or blanking of the mind.
It is a powerful meditation in that its results are felt and evidenced immediately, and not only by you, but by others with whom you interact.
This powerful meditation is the practice of presence. The practice of being and acting fully present in the current moment. Holding your presence fully in the now.
Mastering this meditation is a 5-step process. To engage in this meditation practice, simply: (more…)
