Our brains love to indulge in confusion despite how painful confusion feels. And the reason why we decide to stay in confusion is because the pain of the unknown far outweighs something much more familiar - confusion. Learn how three simple suggestions to simplify our life, ca...

A lot of people ask, “How can I get rid of this stress?” or “How can I think the right thoughts so that I don’t feel negative about my co-worker?”, and before we can tackle the situation itself we must do one thing FIRST… and that is to understand nothing is inherently wrong.

For years, I journaled on the same four issues: weight, love, jobs, and friendships. Then I realized it wasn’t about the specific problem, it was all of the TYPE OF THOUGHTS I was thinking that kept me in the problem with no resolution. Journaling doesn’t solve your problems, at least not the conventional method of how we’ve approached journaling thus far. Sure, it helps us to feel momentary relief but does the problem ever go away? Typically, the problem resurfaces wearing a new suit of clothes...

Why is it that one person can be annoyed and get back to their work, and another can’t seem to stop sharing their story to anyone that will listen? It’s called Emotional Drama.

The good news is, once we cultivate enough self-awareness to tune into when we engage in Emotional Drama, we can take a step b...
