Stop “Shoulding” Yourself—and Start Enjoying the Road Ahead. Have you ever noticed that your windshield is huge and your rearview mirror is pretty small? There’s a reason.

I should have exercised more.I should have called more often.I should have…

INFLAMMATION: DON’T FEAR IT—WORK WITH YOUR BODY You may have heard that inflammation is the enemy and that we should do everything possible to “get rid of it.” The truth is much more interesting—and reassuring. Inflammation is one of your body’s protection systems. When you get a cut, fight an infection, or injure a muscle, inflammation helps your immune system respond and begin the healing process.

Don’t Pet Your Peeves

We all have little things that irritate us—a rude driver, a noisy neighbor, a slow checkout line, the over-chatty friend, or someone who always seems to complain. Your problem isn’t having peeves. The problem is petting them. “Resentment is the poison you are drinking in hopes the other person dies.” “Petting your peeves” means replaying annoyances over and over in your mind. These become rocks you carry in your emotional bag. Every time you revisit them, your body responds as…

Awareness is your starting point, because you cannot change what you do not recognize. From there, dedication gives your intention direction.

Failures of Kindness

Failures of Kindness

Comments 0 Comment

 One of the greatest regrets many people share later in life is not being kinder when the opportunity was right in front of them. Often, someone was hurting, lonely, frightened, or overwhelmed, and instead of responding with warmth, we responded cautiously, hurriedly, or from a distance. Yet when we think about the people we remember most fondly, they are usually the ones who treated us with kindness, patience, and understanding. Their words, gestures, and presence stayed with us long after…
