CONFRONTING FEAR – THE BIG BREAKTHROUGH

As promised, here is the follow up to my last post – Confronting Fear – The breakdown before the breakthrough.  In this post, I shared how I recently spent almost a month paralyzed by my friendly nemesis, or “bogeyman” as I like to refer to it, FEAR.  I felt like I was wearing cement shoes, [...]

CONFRONTING FEAR – THE BREAKDOWN BEFORE THE BREAKTHROUGH

I have been stuck.  Paralyzed.  Stopped.  I completed my TV detox in early August and came face to face with my inner most thoughts and it wasn’t pretty. During these last few weeks I would love to say I took everything I learned about confronting my fears, being present in my life, not escaping when [...]

WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH? PLEASE TELL!

HELP!! I realize I am not laughing enough.  I want to laugh more.  I think the “seriousness” of meditation, silence and my recent TV detox has created a desire for me to be more lighthearted and playful in my life.   According to a study by Dr. Michael Titze, a German psychologist, “In the 1950s people used to laugh [...]

MAKING TIME FOR WHAT’S IMPORTANT

Why is it so hard to make time in our lives for what really matters to us?  I went to see my 90 year old aunt over the weekend and had such a nice visit.  The entire trip took about 3 hours including travel.  Visiting her has been something I have wanted to do for [...]

THE TV CHALLENGE – SURRENDER TV FOR 30 DAYS!

So, as most of you know, as a “student” of the teachings of Eckhart Tolle and Pema Chodron, I am on a personal quest to build my level of presence in my life.  I have closed a lot of the obvious “run” spots which for me included excess food, alcohol, and caffeine (which keeps me unconscious by [...]

Bodhisattva by Metro Video – My daily “belly laugh”

My goal is to get a good belly laugh in each day. This is usually provided by something my 8 year old daughter does or says. Today, this video provided that for me….at times it feels a little long but I laughed out loud around 2:40 minutes as I could relate to the other passengers [...]
