Have you been spending your life working really hard to be successful in your career only to wake up years later wondering "What the hell happened to my life? Why am I not having more fun?"

You have so many dreams of what you want for your life. Dreams of finding that partner, building a family, having a career you love, creating a life of purpose, and traveling the world. And you want to have fun at the same time.

Walking Through Sand: Learning to Dissipate the Struggle - (June 2, 2010)

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last post. What’s been going on? Besides working and having fun with friends, I’ve really been struggling. It feels like I’m walking through ankle deep sand.

I’m taking an online class (The Right Brain Business Plan) that I’ve really been looking forward to. While I’ve really enjoyed the experience and the work I’ve done with it so far, I find myself behind on the assignments, feeling them weigh me down with the new assignments piling on top of the old ones. I want to have fun with it, finally create a business plan that is meaningful to me and helps propel me forward, yet I can’t seem to fully focus on the assignments and get them done. But this isn’t just about the class. I am struggling to research and prepare for my upcoming and very exciting trip to Europe in a month. I haven’t gone to any networking events (which I actually normally enjoy). Plus forget about cleaning, going to the gym, or finally filing my taxes. (Yes, I filed for an extension for the first time ever).

Rather than all of those things, I’ve been finding myself sitting here on my butt, ... (Read more.)

Facing the Gremlin: Breaking Negative Patterns - (April 24, 2010)

Are you up for a new sporting activity? You should try body surfing on your dishwasher door! I did. Okay, I really don’t recommend it. And obviously I didn’t do it on purpose. I tripped over it, landed on it, and actually had to roll myself off. I’m sure it was quite a spectacle if anyone besides my cats were there to see it. Frankly, I still laugh about it whenever I tell anyone. Unfortunately, I hurt my right hand and it hasn’t recovered yet.

In the last two weeks I’ve gone through different phases, from being in excruciating pain to being really impressed with how much I could do with my left hand. This second week has been more challenging on my spirit. (Read more.)

Habits: Friend or Foe - (April 6, 2010)

For many years, I fought against creating habits in my life – unless having fun counts as a habit. I wanted to maximize my fun time outside of work. I resisted creating a set schedule for the non-fun activities of my life. In fact, the thought of living purposely by a schedule makes me cringe. Perhaps that stems from my intense dread of my former job as a project manager. Or perhaps that’s because the thought of spending a whole day cleaning every weekend like my mom did makes me want to run away screaming “No!”.

A few weeks ago I decided I wanted to make some changes. I wanted to work out and get healthier. I wanted to have a more peaceful environment in my house. I kept saying I wanted to do these things, but I never actually did anything about them.

When working with my coach on this, I came up with the shocking idea of tackling this by creating habits, rules to live by. How is this possible? (Read more.)

Marking an Anniversary: Impacting the World Around Us - (March 29, 2010)

Yesterday marked the 6 month anniversary of the passing of one of my good friends. She battled pancreatic cancer for close to 10 months, showing her extraordinary thoughtfulness, love, and keen wit even up through the last painful months and days.

I found myself amazed and inspired by how she so easily set aside her pain and difficulties to talk to about what was going on with each person, to ask about the comparatively trivial things going on in our lives. To top this off, she would even make us laugh. She kept her generous spirit and her humor even amongst the most trying times. (Read more.)

Becoming Unfiltered: Letting Go of the Rules - (March 24, 2010)

While talking with my coach today, I found that I was creating all kinds of road blocks for myself. I hadn’t realized that even with my coach and myself I had been filtering so many things. Today was different. My cold gave me the gift of completely having my filter down. By removing this filter, the conversation was way more enlightening than usual.

One of the places I have been filtering and putting up road blocks has been with writing these blogs. I have had all of these preconditions and rules about what I will write about. (Read more.)

Finding Your Rhythm: Relax and Trust Your Intuition - (February 20, 2010)

Having never really drummed much before, I went to my first West African drumming class last night. I was really excited to be trying out something new, something musical and physical at the same time.

In the beginning, some of the drum beats came fairly easily. For others, I really struggled - particularly when the group was split up and doing different rhythms at the same time. I got lost. I couldn't follow. I couldn't find the beat. And I felt paralyzed, afraid to "do it wrong".

As the instructor pointed out, I was thinking too much. (Read more.)

Speeding Through Life - (February 3, 2010)

Are you speeding down the highway of your life? Are you constantly moving, doing, and getting things done? Do you long to slow down, get out of the speeding car, take a break, and just breathe - but you have no idea when you'll be able to do that?

When you have gone for a while without listening to and honoring your body telling you to slow down, relax, take a break, take time for yourself, your body often forces you to do just that. You get sick. You crash.

There is a better way. (Read more.)

Out With The Old, In With The New - (January 31, 2010)

This weekend I shed my old washing machine and TV. They were over 15 years old, in fact. Since they stopped working, I got very nice new replacements. This got me thinking. What other things or habits have I had for a long time that are no longer working for me? (Read more.)

Top 5 Things I Learned This Year - (December 30, 2009)

As this year comes to a close, I wanted to take the time to reflect, paying special attention to the things I learned this year. Here are the list of the top 5 things I have learned this year.

1. Having a motto for life really helps.

This year I adopted the following motto for my life: "Why not? What have you got to lose?" which really translates into "Live your life with no regrets". Very often throughout the year I would repeat these sayings to myself, running the current situation through them, particularly when I felt nervous or hesitant about doing something. Doing this really helped me push myself to do the things I wanted to do, to be the person I wanted to be. (Read more.)

Unique Creations: In Art and in Life - (December 8, 2009)

I went to the Gallery MacEgan the other day to check out the artwork at the winter show. I got my own private tour by the nice, friendly, and artistic owner, Greg MacEgan. He introduced me to each piece, mentioning the artist who created them. Each person has their own perspective, own style in their art, just like in life. Some are vibrant, some subdued, some realistic, some abstract, some thought provoking. All are unique and beautiful in their own way. (Read more.)
