Stress is a Marble  - Spin It Your Way

TM_edited.jpg
STRESS_edited.jpg

Stress doesn't just suddenly appear.

There are cumulative events that lead to stress.

And talking about 'good' stress vs. 'bad' stress

is the same as talking about 'good' and 'bad' poison.

'Good' poison doesn't exist & neither does 'good' stress.

Move past 'managing or eliminating' stress.

Embrace "preventing" stress altogether.

Yes, it is truly possible to learn & use skills that lead to a stress-free life.

Esteem: Core & Foundation

esteem_edited.jpg

In all the workshops attended or articles read

did anyone ever define "esteem" or "self esteem"?

Little causes me more frustration than hearing someone talk about "building" esteem.

Think about it. What can be built can be torn down.

Bust the "esteem" building myth.

It's the core of who we are and the foundation of life.
