Too often we rely on emotion for truth. It gets personal. We base it on our own experiences. Anything in extremes is not healthy. Moderation is the best way to understand when to believe empirically versus tangentially. Maybe there is truth in the story, and we can extract truth into something we can believe by rationalizing […]

Superhuman Log Date January 18, 2018 #beinghuman #beingsuperhuman #Flowoftime #TimeIsElastic #TheoryOfRelativity
There is a fine balance between how we perceive the depths and the limits of time. A friend of mine says that time is elastic. Simple, brilliant and so true. That very idea puts a layer of superhuman perspective on how we fold, bend, arc, stretch and manipulate time in our lives. It’s a healthy perspective for those […]

A few days before 2018, I got a text from someone close to me. Can I call you? Of course, I replied. From that moment on, my world turned into a twister of ideas, emotions, star dust and rain drops. We met a few days ago. I wasn’t excited about it. I told my daughter […]

Do you have someone you can lean on no matter what? A rock solid relationship that helps you to see yourself, center yourself and even laugh at yourself? In so many ways my spouse has done that for me. We have been together for 18 years and I can honestly say that love wasn’t what […]

There are very personal ways to get your energy back on track, but there are also a few universal ways as well. We all need to shut off our stress. And we could all use an infusion of beauty – as in the pictorial kind. For me it’s nature. For some it’s a city skyline […]

Unfortunately there is nothing more convincing than our negative head voice talking us down. Here’s a tip: channel your favorite strutting bad ass to turn your confidence up. I picture John Travolta in his clean, pressed white suit in Saturday Night Fever. I was so young when that movie came out and he was cooler than anything […]

On the journey of empowerment, there is one major thing that can be all consuming. Fear. Fear is a monster. It can suck you into its vortex, drag you kicking and screaming into a loop of anxiety, and maybe even swallow you whole like the pit of Tartarus in Greek mythology. So what are you […]

On the journey to empowerment, we’ve covered what it means to take care of yourself. So what about how we respond to others’ emotions, when we cannot possibly control those around us, yet they can greatly impact ours? Empathy is a buzzword these days. I say that because, while I truly believe in it, it’s misunderstood. […]

Being a giver means you sometimes surround yourself with takers. It’s especially tough when takers are not very self aware and take more of you than you can give. Some days I feel completely drained. As if someone has zapped the energy right out of me. And so, I have to think about what fuels me. […]
Superhuman Log Date January 6, 2018 #beinghuman #beingsuperhuman #emotionalagilityisselfcare
If there is one thing I have started to better identify, it’s my own emotional agility. By that, I mean I am able to recognize and then manage or suppress the rising fear in my stomach when my inner saboteur is telling me I’m no good, or to blame, or undeserving. This does not mean […]
