Strategies for healthy boundaries when dealing with victim mindsets

  I was once sat next to an older lady while we both got our nails done.  About five minutes after I sat down to get mine done she starts telling me all about her life. An hour later I knew she’d had a heart attack eight years ago and that’s why she was sweating so much, she has a pacemaker and recently she broke her finger saving a puppy and now can’t feel any pain in that hand –…

An open reply to an email I received

  Last week I got the following email via the contact form on my website: “All this advice, advice, advice!  Why doesn’t anyone EVER acknowledge the limitations put upon us by those who control the narrative?  Those who make the laws and decide our options?  It’s near to impossible to create the life you want when society decides it for you and expects you to toe the line?  I’m all for making my dreams come true… if only “they” would…

Pain is part of life; suffering is optional

    We all go through painful situations in life – it’s an inevitable part of the journey of living.   But suffering is a human condition + one that we do to ourselves.    We obsessively think about things that happened in our past, that we did or were done to us. 🤯   We overthink all the things we believe are going wrong in our lives.   By doing so, we forget how magnificent our life really is.…
