Don’t Postpone Joy

Change Your Mind for Good

Change your mind, and you can change your perspective, mood, and state of wellbeing. If we don’t care for our thoughts, they are naturally inclined to focus on worrying about the future, regretting the past, worrying about what others think of us, or engaging in critical commentary about anything in the present and how it […]

Breathe in Hope

Breathe in hope. When you meditate, practice breathing in hope and breathing out despair. I hear stories every day about people who feel afraid, inadequate, incapable, overwhelmed, uncertain, unlovable, unworthy, or confused.

There are times in life when our path seems clear, only to have unforeseen circumstances arise that change our well-intended plans. We […]
