Having something to look forward to can benefit us in multiple ways. Days, weeks, months, and even years can drag on with activities of daily life when there’s nothing planned that we enjoy, that would make us happy, or accomplishments that we celebrate. Think about it in terms of our life’s journey. There will of course be ups and downs, but focusing on the positive things and events can help us get through the not-so-positive things that happen along the way. Positive life events such as graduating from high school or college, getting married, having a baby, retirement, coffee with [...]

You may be familiar with the term, ‘stunt double’, specifically in the movie industry. Stunt doubles are trained to perform stunts that are typically dangerous in nature, in the place of an actor.  But what is a body double you ask? You may not be familiar with the term ‘body double’.

Feelings – How Does it Make You Feel?

  We all have feelings of joy, happiness, peace, sense of accomplishment, etc., from time to time. It would be great if we could have those positive feelings more often. Well, I’m here to tell you that we can, and we should.

What is Your Motivation to Complete a Project?

  Motivation, or what motivates us, like everything else, is different for everyone.  As I researched motivators for a past blog post, ‘Two Motivators - Pain or Pleasure’, I learned that there are really only 2 motivators; avoiding pain or moving toward pleasure. When I thought about it, I realized that this is true, at least it was for me. To put this idea to the test, I started thinking about tasks, or projects, I completed in the past that I really didn’t want to do.  I thought about the motivation that helped me get moving to get these things [...]

Having the Proper Mindset Helps to Achieve Goals

One of my goals for 2011 is to lose some weight. I’ve done it before so I knew I could do it again. About 10 or 12 years ago I had success on the Weight Watchers plan counting points, and lost about 30 pounds. It amazed me that I was able to keep the weight off for most of those years. I guess that just shows how good of a weight loss plan it is. It also shows how having the proper mindset allowed me to keep on achieving my goals. Because of my past success with Weight Watchers, and the [...]
