Give the Gift of Good Sleep
Fixing my sleep schedule was the most life-changing discovery I made in 2018. I have more energy. I’m more productive. My memory has improved. I don’t get sick when everybody else does. And I just plain feel better in every way imaginable. All because I’m getting the right amount of sleep now… Instead of just […]
My Uncensored Opinion of “The Secret”
You might be amazed what you can accomplish when you finally figure out how to use the ‘control panel’ of your own mind. Actively creating the life you desire… instead of reacting to external circumstances. I mean… Have you ever pictured your life and what it would be like if you were able to take […]
How To Stop Spreading Yourself So Thin That You Never Finish Anything
A person without a goal… a mission… a single purpose in life, is like a ship without a sail. The waves push you this way and that. But you never really move closer towards any one destination. People who don’t have a clear mission and purpose in life always have trouble deciding what to do […]
How can a bad habit simply vanish, without willpower?
This review for Healthy Eating Habits caught my attention today: “As a non-drinker/smoker, I turn to food for that ‘dopamine hit’ in times of stress – which I have been under a lot lately. On the way home from work yesterday, I drove right past my go-to spot for junk food and waited until I […]

Maybe a friend, or family member, or some famous person you admire… How do they stand? How do they move? How do they talk? What is it about […]
What percentage of your decisions are emotional?
And what percentage of your decisions are logical? I used to think that I was a pretty good logical decision maker. Until neuroscience came along and proved that *all* decisions are emotional.

I’ve written a lot lately about the 4-letter word: ‘need.’ It’s a dangerous word. We often use it when we don’t really need something and, in doing so, we program ourselves to feel needy and desperate. And while desperation is a powerful motivating force… it also causes frantic emotions and sloppy thinking. It’s far more […]
