5 ways to deal with procrastination

5 ways to deal with procrastination

I recently wrote about what procrastination isn’t and a bit about what it is, or what it might be.  You can find that post here.  I believe one of the biggest misnomers about procrastination is that it is synonymous with being “lazy”. Not only do I think that procrastination has nothing to do with being… Read More »

The cost of maturity

The cost of maturity

I saw this bottle cap at my friend’s house yesterday.  I think this is a battle worth fighting, with one caveat. Do allow maturity to enhance your life.  Don’t give up in life what fuels your spirit.

5 reasons procrastination has nothing to do with “being lazy”

5 reasons procrastination has nothing to do with “being lazy”

The bane of my existence.  The thorn in my pride.  A pain in the a** (for others). Say it with me.  “I am a procrastinator”. Now, for those that aren’t procrastinators, I say congratulations.  I have no ill will towards you.  My wife is a non-procrastinator and I derive endless inspiration from her tireless energy… Read More »

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t

One moment you’re so sure that your mind and intuition are telling you the right things. “I can’t tell him no.  He’s going to be really upset if I do that.” “Don’t take the chance, there’s too much to lose.” “Nobody really cares what I have to say anyway.  It’s a waste of time.” The… Read More »

Embrace the suck!

Embrace the suck!

“Embrace the suck!” We used to say that to each other in the Army during miserable all day training exercises.  These training excursions were always accompanied by temps in the 30’s and 40’s and steady perpetual rain. Carrying heavy loads of equipment while playing war games in the cold rain actually became funny to us…. Read More »

“I was weak, now I’m strong, so go sc**w yourself” A losing relationship strategy

“I was weak, now I’m strong, so go sc**w yourself”  A losing relationship strategy

When I posted my blog about how men in relationships and their lack of vulnerability, I promised that I would follow-up with something about women.  It’s not that we need to bash men or women and our flawed relationship strategies, we just need to shed some light on why they’re dysfunctional.  Let’s just call a… Read More »

Getting away from fear as a motivator in your work environment

Getting away from fear as a motivator in your work environment

It’s Sunday and that nagging reminder the weekend is coming to an end has settled in our being.  Not only are we bummed about the weekend ending but we’re dreading Monday. Monday means that we have to go back to work. Even if we love our jobs and the people we work with, it’s normal… Read More »

What to look for when choosing a therapist

What to look for when choosing a therapist

Frequently I hear from clients that they did like or did not connect with their past therapists.  It could be easy to say that it’s just a simple matter of “there are a lot of bad therapists out there”, but I think it goes deeper than that.  Getting therapy that works is about finding a… Read More »

Attending to our emotional hygiene

Attending to our emotional hygiene

We really do take our emotional health for granted.  We pay attention to our physical health in various ways, such as through diet and exercise, but we continually allow ourselves to cross our own boundaries internally. How often do we allow our own self talk to say things to us we’d never allow someone else… Read More »

How do I know when I should see a counselor?

How do I know when I should see a counselor?

When is the right time to see a counselor?  This is a very good question.  It can be hard to know when we’ve crossed over from being able to “handle our stuff” on our own to seeking professional help.  Many of us have lived up to the mantra of “suck it up and deal with… Read More »
