  • The value of trauma

    Transitions between life stages are usually triggered by extreme events: near-death experiences, divorce, failed friendships, death of loved ones. Trauma causes us to step back and re-evaluate our deepest motivations and decisions. It allows us to reflect on whether our strategies to pursue happiness are actually working well or not.

    The Four Stages of Life

  • Asking For Help

    Not wanting to seem weak, needy, and incompetent or like we’re taking advantage often keeps us from asking for help, but that’s often an overblown fear caused by our tendency to think the worst. Not asking for help, we miss out on potential knowledge and may end up worsening situations. Having a support system leads to higher levels of well-being, better coping skills and a longer and healthier life.

  • Experience more of YOUR life

    Many of us will go to great lengths to distract ourselves with anything and everything: food, booze, shopping, television, tabloid news, online social networks, video games, phones etc. Acknowledging this is the first step to healing it.   So begin right now by just breathing, alone, and noticing with curiosity, and without judgment, all of the little ways you can simply BE in your own skin, right here, right now, in this present moment we call life.

  • How our environment determines growth

    Being able to witness performance in others : Witnessing performance  matters a lot more than being able to understand performance. Knowing that a goal is achievable : Even if you can’t know exactly how someone achieved something, the mere fact that the achievement exists can help you in planning for it. Having the right incentives to improve : We improve not only because our community and known achievements, but because the community is organized around accomplishing well-understood goals.
