Do You Love the Game?
Do You Love the Game?

A few years back I worked with collegiate athletes at a well-known university on Mental Peak Performance.The kids were talented and well trained, and many were on scholarship for their sport. If there was a glitch in their performance, I was called in by their coach to help them get their mindset right so they could compete and win. Consistently, when I helped the student athlete erase the mental and emotional blocks that were upsetting his/her competitive performance and apply that to a sensation of winning, s/he began to excel. Some ran their best time in races, others began to win their competitions, and several became team captains and made Dean’s List for the first time in their college career.

Celebrate Diversity This Month
Celebrate Diversity This Month

I recently listened to an audio class about the ascent of the planet Venus in the evening sky. Each month as Venus meets the new moon, she passes through another “gate” that corresponds to the chakras in the human body. As Venus ascends through each gate, we are given the opportunity and support to strengthen that area of our life. Venus recently passed through the first gate of her ascent so this month is about the Root Chakra, which is located at the base of your body.

The Gifts of the Year
The Gifts of the Year

In the race to keep the plates spinning and the business moving ahead, it’s easy to forget all the gifts of the year. They often come in the form of challenges. Some of the challenges I faced this year were real - like the death of my beloved dog. Others demanded changes of perspective and breaking up long-held perceptions.

Downside of Gratitude
Downside of Gratitude

Last week on a Facebook group, someone posted a link to a blog post by Mike Hrostoski called “F*** You Spiritual People for Using Gratitude as a Bypass to Your Anger”. I'll not give you the whole link because I don't want to offend anyone by cussing here, but if you want to read all of Mike’s rant, fill in the blank letters and you'll find it online here. The title shocked me so of course I checked it out. Mike really got his rant on and as I read his post, I felt a resonance with what he was saying. He expressed what had been niggling in the back of my mind, but wouldn't let myself admit.

How Does Masculine Energy Support You?
How Does Masculine Energy Support You?

These days, women have a lot of gripes with men: they don’t communicate their feelings, they don’t help around the house, they let the kids get away with murder or are too hard on them, they don’t appreciate us enough, they’re cranky, they’re not romantic, they only want to watch tv and have sex. You could probably add your own complaints to the list. But here’s the question: Are you letting the men in your life support you? I’m talking about ALL the men in your life, not just your partner, but also your colleagues at work; the guy who mows your lawn; and your brother, father, or son.

How Do You Balance Self-Care and Your Business?
How Do You Balance Self-Care and Your Business?

In the aftermath of the death of my beloved companion dog Sophie, I have had to pay much closer attention to self-care.  I have been tired and distracted by grief. I couldn't concentrate enough to work very much for the first three weeks after she died.  Even reading was a challenge as my mind and body were processing her absence. The last time I lost a major figure in my life was 27 years ago when my father died with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease).  After his funeral I went back to work and managed the roller coaster of grief by pushing the painful feelings away.

What Is Judging Costing You?
What Is Judging Costing You?

Earlier in the month I had the pleasure of taking an Improv for Business class with my friend and colleague, Gina Trimarco Cligrow of Gina and Co.  Gina is from Chicago and began doing improv at Second City at the age of 19.  She used what she learned in improv class and from her entrepreneurial dad to become a successful marketer and business manager.  Now she's using those skills to help other entrepreneurs become better at sales conversations and marketing through improvisational comedy.

The Dark Side of Over Giving
The Dark Side of Over Giving

Last issue I wrote about the perils of over giving in your business and how to make a mind shift to taking yourself and your business seriously and getting paid good money for the value you deliver Today I want to talk about the shadow side of always over giving.  This is a subject that I've looked at increasingly for years now as it became apparent to me that I am - gasp! - co-dependent.
