I am sure you have heard of the saying, “There is nothing you can’t do if you put your mind to it.” And I am sure a part of you believes that — in theory, but what the heck does it mean in practice? We all have things about ourselves we would love to change. […]
One of the most challenging tasks facing us is remaining aware and conscious in the moment. I touched on this a little in the Live in the Moment blog, but here I want to focus on the conscious and awareness parts. So much of my blog discussions involve helping you understand how the mind works […]
