Do you ever get tired or discouraged? Maybe you think you aren’t growing your career or relationships fast enough. For me, losing weight is one of those areas which gets frustratingly slow at times.

Another Example Of Improving Self Talk
In my most recent post, I talked about how baby steps can help change our lives. Today, I am drilling down a bit deeper on the subject. I was talking with my writing/life coach about my frustrations with myself because I had not been writing for my book. He asked me a simple question “What […]
How Baby Steps Are Changing My Life
Years ago my husband and I watched the farcical movie “What about Bob?” a 1991 film starring Richard Dreyfuss and Bill Murray.

Staying the Course
I feel like Rocky Balboa who in the first movie, decided to fight the world champion even though he knew that he would not win. As a result, he worked hard to prepare for the fight. Rocky is a great example of how to develop true grit over time by using his experiences to learn […]
