Bummed Out?

Many of our life occurrences can leave us feeling bummed out. Part of soaring is not letting the bad stuff linger. In my new book, The Healing Journey: Overcoming Adversity on the Path to the Good Life, I introduce what I call Mentalligent Psychotherapy (MPT). With MPT, you artfully weave three components into your fabric of your healing journey. Feeling bummed out with life can keep you stuck. The MPT strategies of mindfulness, positive psychology, and cognitive behavioral therapy can help you soar. Buy your copy at amazonbooks.com. Follow this link:

Are You Living on the Edge

Living on the edge is a precarious place to be. Not sure of your footing. Having to hold on. Too much going on. Feeling overwhelmed. People find themselves living on the edge when they use a lot of extreme words to describe their situation. Words like always, only, ever, never, should, would, could shift your references to the extreme, giving you less latitude to work through the circumstances. Modulate your words and expand your possibilities for mid-course correction. Release your stuckness and soar.

Are You Nuts?

Life nowadays can be so overwhelming and crazy that it feels like you are going nuts, but probably not. However, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. If this is you, counseling or psychotherapy may launch you on your healing journey.

Focus on the Positive

It's true. What you pay attention to grows. Focus on the negative, negative grows. Focus on the positive, and the positive grows. While we do need to address feeling overwhelmed and put the negative in perspective, your healing journey begins when you pay attention to the positive.

Don't Take It Personally

Ya know, each of us has so much going on all at once that life can be overwhelming. Making sense out of it all can be really hard. Other people's words can be hurtful and explosive, especially if you don't know where they are coming from. Ya know what else, when you are stuck like this, don't take it personally. In my new book, The Healing Journey: Overcoming Adversity on the Path to the Good Life, I offer this as a rule for life. Finding out what else is going on opens the door to greater emotional intimacy. Buy your copy from amazonbooks.com at

What you Focus On Grows

Your choice. Focus on the negative and it grows. Focus on the positive and it grows. The negative spirals you down and into your stuck-ness. The positive spirals you upward on your healing journey to soaring. My new book, The Healing Journey: Overcoming Adversity on the Path to the Good Life is a good place to change your perspective.

Note to Self

Your daily activities determine how you reach your goals and how you feel about yourself. When you are in a downward spiral of stuck-ness, there's not much movement. Progress is slow. To begin upward soaring, consider adding therapeutic journaling as a part of your daily regimen. It's a great habit to develop. In my new book, The Healing Journey: Overcoming Adversity on the Path to the Good Life, I explain how helpful therapeutic journaling can be to your healing process. Buy your copy at amazonbooks.com.

Mind Your Own Business

Sorry for messing with you to get your attention. Your business is your own, but I do want to talk about your mind and how you can traverse stages on your healing journey, actually changing how our brain functions. There are 4 stages to your healing journey. Making the commitment to healing change, your brain develops brand new neuropathways. This process, called neurogenesis, is the source of hope and change with counseling and psychotherapy. Check out my new book, The Healing Journey: Overcoming Adversity on the Path to the Good Life.
