If you don’t mind, I’m going to be Captain Obvious for a moment and share something with you that you already know:
Life can throw you a curve ball and turn your entire world upside down.
Let me give you an example of a curve ball: [Read more…]
When you can’t enjoy life because you’re always waiting for the other shoe to drop
Listen to this episode (1:17:20)
It’s hard to enjoy life if you are weighed down with the belief that something bad is going to happen. How can you appreciate today if you believe tomorrow will bring misery?
There is a path to a better today. This episode will give you some tools to make that happen.
Pulling out of the emotional rut
Listen to this episode (1:14:24)
There is a path out of the rut of depression, feeling unworthy, unlovable, stupid, and any of a number of other thoughts and feelings that can permeate your life.
If you’re in that miserable, stuck state, this episode may be a path to a door that shines the light on the dark.
Those “think positively” people – Little problems that lead to explosive reactions – What is a toxic person?
Listen to this episode (1:8:20)
If you’re one of those people who repress negativity and put on a smile to hide your upset, you are likely creating negative emotions in your body that will eventually lead to depression. If you aren’t sure what I mean, listen to segment one of today’s episode.

For segment three, I answer the question: What is toxic? Do we call people toxic just to avoid our own personal growth? A listener challenges me on the topic.

My girlfriend and I went to a parade on July 4th that was so overwhelming we had to leave early. I know… a parade – overwhelming?
Yes.
It was a steam engine parade with nothing but steam powered tractors blowing extremely loud steam whistles. You don’t realize how a loud steam whistle is until you are about 20 feet away from one. When you’re that close and it goes off, you better block your ears or you’ll be sorry.
