Hi there,
I'm so glad you are here.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Warmly,

Oh, and something else. I just read a super book you may like called, 'The Whole Language', by Greg Boyle. It may be my favorite yet with lots of hope for how we can learn to live together, in a felon-friendly way. Check it out.
One more thing. I'm finding this three-step process borrowed from the meditation world is helping folks I work with build new habits. That's the name of the game, isn't it -- new neural pathways that help us thrive rather than the old ones from childhood that create suffering. The cool name I'm giving it is the 'golden habit'.
It looks like this:
Focus: create an intention, something that is important to you that helps you live authentically (more fully, aligned with your values and purpose)
Notice: check in with your body and crazy mind throughout the day to see how you are doing
Return: use this moment of awareness to go back to your intention, to remember what matters, and do this over and over again until it's what you do. When that intention has become habit, start the process again with a new intention. Keep going until life is perfect (in other words, just keep doing it since perfect doesn't exist).
The back story is that steps similar to these are from a basic meditation process that teaches awareness by focusing on an object, like your breath or word, and coming back to your object of attention when you notice your mind strays. And your minds stray. That’s what minds do. Anyway, it’s the coming back that builds neural fortitude, the kind that strengthens attention. Give it a try and see how it goes.
And if you want more exercises to encourage behavior change, the kind that makes life easier, I'm working on a course called 'Authentic Self Leadership'. It's some things I have picked up along the way to live an awesome life, which I am finally able to do. Reach out to me if you are interested in taking a peak. I hope to be done end of Aprilish.
That's it for now. Thanks for stopping by. : )
