7 Steps Releasing Stressful Worries of Caring What Others Think!

Whether we are at work, or at home with our families, we all can get plagued by personalizing someone else’s behavior, and this invites unnecessary stress into our lives. I know because it happened to me while giving a workshop. I asked the attendees to close their eyes for a relaxing visualization technique.

A Mind of Expansiveness

Michael Jackson’s sudden death had many people sharing sentiments. A common message I heard from famous performers is how he changed ‘the music industry’ forever and there will be no others like him. Michael was an inspiration to many musicians and performers. It was Michael’s artistic perfectionism, to push his abilities and reach where no performer has ever gone. He sought out information constantly meeting with whom he thought was the…

Looking forward to our future

I was taking a walk a few weeks ago on a Sunday morning around a large beautiful lake, the wind was blowing, the trees where swaying and the sun was a brilliant bright light, but in this entire splendor, I was angry.
