There isn't a work day that goes by without me trying to get a client to meditate. I haven't convinced everyone yet, but I'll keep trying. Honestly, if I could get people to do three simple things, I believe their mental health would improve by at least 50%. You ready for them? Meditate 15 minutes a day, walk 30-60 minutes a day, and drink half your body weight in ounces of water every day (e.g., I weigh 220, half is 110, drink 110 ounces of water - more when you exercise). Try it - you'll see!

Hmmm... I guess I need to get a little more specific when I "prescribe" meditation for my clients!! 😮😀

We can't really know what is going on in another person's life. They might ACTUALLY be a jerk, but they might also be a nice person who, under stress, is ACTING like a jerk. It's very hard to discern this, especially in real time, when our hackles are up already. But whenever possible, maybe we can pause just a second and think it through before reacting negatively. Sometimes you really do need to stand up assertively, but sometimes - maybe most of the time - there's room to think, chill, and give grace.

I just responded to a friend's FB post about "posters you had in your room as a teenager" and it sent me down memory lane to a place I LOVED to go in the mall - Spencer's Gifts! My teen bedroom was decorated with posters from there (as pictured, Farrah, Vikings, and the classic black-light ship!), and it was my go-to place for Christmas gifts like lava lamps and other fine accessories! 🙂

Anyone else remember Spencer's fondly? What posters did YOU have as a teen??

Solid entertainment value, right here, heh heh. I'd give it at least a 7.5! Enjoy! 😀

Some folks don't think too often or too hard about the future, because it just sort of "happens" to us. Other people think WAY too much about the future and worry excessively about what might happen (with bad scenarios usually outpacing good scenarios by a large margin) - often this is referred to as "anxiety"! But in reality, the future doesn't even exist (in terms of the time-bound human realm). The future is not something "out there" - rather, it is actually created by all the things we do in the here and now, in "the next five minutes, and the next five after that, and so on and so on. To build a future that we want, instead of worrying about "out there" or "down the road", maybe we would be better served by focusing on "the next five minutes."

A little piece of wisdom shared by James shortly before he passed. I wish he'd made it to that new beginning, but even though he didn't, I like his idea! I LOVE Winter, but his perspective is definitely food for thought! 😀
