1 Minute to Peace and Productivity

It was only 9:33 am – and I felt upset, angry. What she said really upset me. How could she accuse me of that? I kept running the “she’s wrong” conversation in my head. The worst part – I felt stressed; how was I going to get my work done? How could I get back to peace and productivity – in one-minute? I could choose. I could decide that no thought, no situation could take my peace away. First, I had to recognize that my thinking was getting in the way. I was saying, “I a

Your Peace and Power in 1 Minute

He was bugging me more than usual. With every word he said, I felt manipulated, out of control and angry. This was not going to be easy – or could it be? How can you get past the mental struggle with the person who challenges you the most today? You make a different choice. When you choose to be miserable because of what another did or said, you give up your power. Your mind says, “How can I be happy when… he said this, that happened…?” That is an old, bad habit. It leave

Let It Go for Peace

Right now, your mind is your only problem. It is chattering like a runaway train. Just yesterday I was thinking, “How did I get in such a lousy place?” I should know better. If you really want a problem to go away, here is one thing you can do… Decide to let it go; know it will work out. I was having trouble with an agreement to purchase a house. We couldn’t agree on one section of our agreement. I was upset. I chose to think, “I must have it my way.” I then decided I wa

The Best Choice – for Peace

I woke up too late to call my daughter. She would be at work by now, and she couldn’t take calls. But today was Father’s Day – and her Dad had died just 2 weeks ago. Wasn’t I a “bad Mom” if I hadn’t reached out to her, hadn’t given her words of wisdom and peace today? Or was there a better – a best choice? The best choice is the one that leads to peace. The best choice doesn’t include criticism – of yourself or others – or guilt, frustration or judgement. Here’s how I mad

Dive Right In

Are you stressed? Spinning non-stop; worrying about something? When you are spinning you are focused on what isn’t working. I have the answer. Dive right in. This is the key to your success and happiness. First ask, “What is my #1 goal at work today?” Write the answer – your goal – with an action verb. “Take the next step on the project,” will not do. What does your brain do with that? It gets confused. It says “What is the next action?” Your brain likes clarity. Give it

Empower Yourself

Getting back to peace is not an easy task these days. Something, someone disturbs you and you are off-track. You are so sensitive right now. Why? Because you are choosing to be on “automatic.” You are listening to “It’s just getting worse,” all around you. Let’s change that. Instead, start with, “What a remarkable day, everything is going my way.” DECIDE that everything is working okay – going your way. This will reprogram your brain. You will see and experience life diff

Choose Peace During Crisis

My worst day. I woke up thinking, “This is driving me crazy.” I was resisting, pushing against my reality; thinking that pushing against it would change it. No such luck. What you push against will keep showing up – over and over again. You will be in turmoil, upset and distracted. Your productivity and peace will be destroyed. Instead, take these 3 steps to choose peace and get back on track – no matter what. Use the AAA Formula – Acceptance, Attitude and Action. Acceptan

Plan for Peace at Work or Home – Let it Go

Are you a bit more emotional than usual? Wondering why you are so sensitive? This morning I woke up with a “hangover” from an unresolved situation. I felt awful. I never (honest) get in arguments; I do everything I can to avoid getting triggered and reacting. And since science tells us relationships are up to 85% of our happiness – I needed a resolution fast. When life seems out of control, how do you keep your relationships positive, loving and compassionate? You let go.

Peace is Possible – Be Kind to Yourself

This is definitely a different world. And although your #1 goal in life is peace, it is easy to get pulled away from peace. No peace = no power = not the life you intend or deserve. So, how do you get back to power and peace when the world is disrupted? You focus on what you want to accomplish with a twist. You focus on feeling good – being positive and supporting yourself. Supporting yourself = being kind to yourself. Stop criticizing yourself. Encourage yourself instead.

Turbo-Charge Your Relationships

I wasn’t feeling good about myself – or my life at the moment. Work was taking up so much time – and I wasn’t allowing myself breaks to recharge. My relationships were far from thriving; I felt disconnected, out of sorts. My creativity wasn’t there; my energy was down. What did I need to do to feel better, perform better? I needed to connect with the people I most care about, my family and friends. They are my life. Science tells us that relationships are up to 85% of our

Get Your Life Back – Choose Peace

This week I received an upsetting text. In essence it said (in my mind) “What you did was wrong; tell me you were wrong.” BAM! I was triggered. I had two choices: choose to respond with, “I am right,” and stay stuck in my old fear habit. Or choose peace. Initially I chose to be right; my reaction was habit. I started to text a “you are wrong” message. This reaction kept me stuck – out of control. Notice how I allowed the text to control me. Then I chose peace. I wrote

Hijacked from Happy

I was miserable. My happiness had just been hijacked – and I had allowed it. A peer told me they were upset with me – that they didn’t want to talk about it. Now, they have every right to be upset about what I did, didn’t do, said, didn’t say. But I felt out of control; feelings of fear and upset came over me. I could accept they were upset, yet the open loop – their continued anger – kept me stuck. As long as their behavior needed to change for me to be happy, I was choo

Peace – That is What You Want

Peace. That is what you want. Between you and peace are your thoughts, the “negative chatter.” So how do you get to peace when you feel stressed, unhappy? Start by noticing that you don’t feel good. This is a sign that your negative voice is taking over. Next, use one of these tools: 1. SMILE – smiling shifts your energy. You instantly feel better. Hold your smile for a minute or more.

Relationship Rescue

A few weeks ago, I found myself in the middle of an upset. I had hired someone to help me with my business on an as-needed basis. When we were done, I called her to let her know I no longer needed her. She exploded. “You have not heard the last from me,” was her response. Initially I was taken aback. How did I upset someone I truly cared about? Her tone told me she was not only upset but planning to retaliate. I needed a quick resolution. This had the potential to ruin m
