Poking Holes in Perfectionism
Did you know that some people don’t recognize they suffer from perfectionism? I was coaching a client who is a very Type-A personality. They were telling me about how “out-of-control” they were feeling–that feeling that all the plates are spinning and are about to crash at any moment. As they were telling me about some…

Confidence and your Subconscious
Do you ever feel insecure when going out to meet a group of people because you’re afraid they’ll judge you? Or how about feeling like you are not in control of your life and everything is just happening to you? Our subconscious mind interprets what’s happening around us and then stores that information out of…

I need to make a public confession…
I’m not who you think I am. I’m not Mr. Positive all the time. I’m not always as excited or engaged as I show in my videos. I’m quiet and contemplative. I live in my head most of the time. I prioritize myself over others. I spend a lot of my “free time” watching tv…

This past week in Utah has been COLD. It got down to freezing temperature. What do people who are cold do?

Don’t Take Candy From Strangers
From a young age, we are taught what to believe. We are given baselines and guidelines on how to conduct our lives and what is considered “normal” or “acceptable” behavior.

Living Your Life Without A Buffer
Let’s be honest with each other…no one enjoys feeling negative emotions. It’s not that they can’t be useful or shouldn’t ever be present; but they just don’t feel good. So what does it mean to live life without a buffer? If we were to boil it down to it’s simplest form, it’s the willingness to…

Boundaries
What is a boundary and why should we set them? Just like we have physical boundaries of our homes (walls, windows, doors, fences, etc.), we also can create emotional boundaries for ourselves and our relationships. Boundaries are something we put in place as a means of protection and empowerment. To set a boundary, you basically…

How To Build Trust With Yourself
Do you trust yourself? Most people will answer YES to this question (especially when they feel good); however, their behavior tells a different story. Look at the commitments you make to yourself. Do you keep them? I’m not talking about big commitments I’m talking about the little things day-to-day—diet; exercise; getting up when the alarm…
