Self-sabotage in all of its myriad of forms is one of the more devastating human conditions. When we get out of balance in our lives with too much or too little of something, we strive for equilibrium and will do just about anything to create that adrenaline rush to make us feel alive.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could do one meditation, say one affirmation, read one book, do one pull up or take one pill and it would all be better and life would be what we want? Actually, NO. We would miss out on the ritual of discipline.

Change or be changed – truer words were never spoken. Change can overwhelm us quickly and then we feel like nothing is working … our relationships, work, home and life!

On average a person has 85,000 thoughts a day. We are free to think anything we want and that power is unlimited. Most of the thoughts we have today (90%) are the same thoughts we had yesterday – which is exactly how we recreate the same stuff over and over in our lives (SSDD syndrome).

Sometimes it is a challenge just knowing where to start…and communication can get stalled in the quickest ways. Petting a dog is communication. If we reach for a dog and quickly pull back, we startle ourselves and the dog. Then we have to begin again by calming ourselves and the dog.
