Break Free of Constant Grading and Rating

Over the years I have had the pain and pleasure of working with all sorts of teachers. In my area, there are two universities, one college and plenty of elementary to high schools. Some of my aunts were teachers, plus my husband and son are teachers. So, all varieties of teachers have crossed my path, needing to improve their situations and symptoms. Most teachers’ response to anything new is to grade it. It's happened in hundreds of sessions with university and college professors, high school teachers and elementary school teachers. Let’s face it, they are trained for judging in their jobs. Rating and grading the performance of their students makes for a strong habit to rate everything. We All Rate Our Experiences https://youtu.be/lhY5nQjCs2g?si=7J0lyEKIAe0t-B6T Problems are created by a lack of…

Is What We Believe in Life Really True?

Healing, Relationships

We are taught many early truths by family, unfortunately their wisdom isn’t always best for our success. A childhood moment that strongly affected me was my father’s words after viewing my excellent report card. “98? Why didn’t you get 100?” These few words had great power, along with negative comments and events that chipped away at my self-confidence. Dad was repeating his experience as youngest in the family. As parents our job is not to break the spirit of our children, nor is it to fill their heads with delusions and expectations. When we begin adult life feeling worthless and lacking confidence, how do we believe in our self and trust others? Starting off on the wrong foot is brutal, I’ve been there. Determined to break from my father’s rule,…

Our Struggle with Falling Asleep and Sleep Quality

Healing

How many people have an easy time falling asleep at night? Having trouble with sleep is a common problem most people just live with. Sleeping when we want seems normal for a few, but most of us have challenges with sleep. My husband is blessed with the ability to sleep when he chooses, falling asleep in minutes, like a light switch on and off! There are lots of suggestions available for falling sleep such as: Be smart about what and when you eat Manage exposure to light and bright screens Have better bedtime habits Sleep or lack of sleep can lift us up or pull us down Troubling thoughts can repeat in our heads, keeping us awake worrying for hours in the night, so there isn’t much energy left in…

3 Healing ways for Seeing the Truth and Letting Go

Healing, Lifestyle, Nature, Relationships

As we move through life it's incredible how often we are tested and struggle with trying to assist or simply letting go. The truth is we can create more problems by jumping in and trying to help out, take it from me. Especially with the folks we care about, our children, our partner, our parents, friends and clients. I was always willing to jump in and help but I have finally learned a huge lesson. You can never fix what people aren't willing to change No matter how much we desire to help another person, the choice to take action or not will always be with them. Here are three ways I determine how much a person with problems, issues or complaints really wants to improve. 1. Are they taking responsibility for their part in problems? Or…

Are You Ready to Change Your Life?

Healing, Lifestyle, Relationships

Again and again I hear how much clients want to change. They want to stop feeling stuck and clear the anxiety, sadness and stress in their lives. Often we're ready to say "heck yes!" but when the time comes we pull back. Important moments when we make a choice - to go forward or slip back into familiar patterns we're used to. I see all of the potential of a person in front of me. It's sad to watch some clients shrink back as they get close to breaking through to their next level of confidence and awareness. Most of us want joy and happiness in our lives, right? Sometimes we are so wrapped up in our stories of what went wrong we cannot see a choice to change. Or we…
