Scheduling for Success
I recently posted a quick video on the subject of scheduling (using a calendar) vs. working from priorities.

You might want to add one or more of the following activities: – […]
Mindfulness Meditation: You can’t do it wrong
My latest Relax Focus Succeed video is live on YouTube. Some people are reluctant to get into “mindfulness” meditation. First, they’re not sure what it is.

The Power of Mental Habits – and The Challenge of Changing Them
Over the last year I’ve consumed a large number of books on habits. Creating habits, breaking habits, good habits, bad habits, etc. It’s interesting how much we focus on the physical side of habits. For example, in your morning routine. You probably do the same things in the same order almost every day of your […]
Trying Once Doesn’t Count
I had a conversation with someone the other day about meditation. He expressed a very common belief: I tried that and it didn’t work for me.

What R.A. Taught Me About Self Discipline
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. One of the powerful effects of this disease is exhaustion. In fact, the most common way that people discover they have RA is that they wake up one day and they’re so tired that they can’t get out of bed. This gets worse and worse until it takes more than an […]
You Can’t Stop Your Brain from Thinking
So many people tell me things like – I can’t meditate – I can’t turn off my brain – I can’t stop worrying – I can’t stop thinking – etc. Here’s the simple truth: Your brain – your human brain – was designed to do something no other animal on earth can do: Think! Yes, […]
