Have you ever stopped for a moment to notice the voice in your head? Try it. You'll see that all day long this voice is incessantly chattering. It's always carrying on conversations....with not only yourself but also other people. If there's any ONE thing I've tried to work on in my life it's this. When I first started this self-evolutionary process I can't tell you how many times I would catch myself deeply engrossed in my own inner convo where I'd be telling someone of

We all have patterns. Thinking patterns, emotional patterns, behavioral patterns. All kinds of patterns! The majority of what we think, feel, and do is based on a pattern we run over and over and over. Some of these patterns are beneficial, and productive....allowing us to experience life enjoyably. Other patterns cause us to be stuck making us feel helpless so we believe we're victims of our circumstances. Patterns can provoke us to create the same problems in our relat

At first glance, some people might argue with this Arrow Tip. Because sometimes it's important to not only know where we've been but also WHO we have been. When used as a reference point it can be helpful. But truth be told....in and of itself, the past is completely irrelevant to the future. In Arrow Tip #38 we learned that the only thing that exists in physical space is the ever-present NOW moment. The NOW is where transformation begins. Linked together these transfo

When traveling along the path to change my life I would hear people give instructions like "practice mindfulness" and "being present". Although they're important and true, for someone who desperately wanted to improve life, these words just felt like cliches. Truth be told, I would get annoyed just hearing them. Maybe it was the "Mr. Rogers" tone of voice they were delivered in that would trigger me....I mean come on man! Don't you know I'm trying to claw my way out of a s

Our moods are like channels on our TVs. There are many of them and they can change as quickly and as easily as we flip between stations....

As I write this it's New Year's Eve. I've never been one for New Year's Resolutions. I think if you're going to do something....just do it. But I'm big on metaphorical ceremonies. Every year I pick a word that embodies what I want to focus on for the following year. My word for 2022.....LIFE. One of the things I try to help people do is create a new version of themselves. (See Arrow Tip #25 ) . But in order to embody a new version of you, you must die to the old versi

I used to hate this cliche......because there had been so many instances along my path where I felt I didn't have a choice. In fact, in...

#Fear There was a time I felt I was an expert in fear. Not because I had studied the topic extensively, but because Fear was such a constant companion that I got to know him all too well. Sometimes he would drop by for a brief visit and other times he would stay for years. Then one day I read an acronym I would never forget. F.E.A.R.= False Evidence Appearing Real. That was a game-changer for me. I took a long hard look at Fear and decided that the majority of the time

Take a moment and think about your last few days, weeks, years. What has your mind been focused on? If it's been thoughts of stress, worry or dis-ease then it's time to make a change. Part of the brain's job is to help us survive. It filters through massive amounts of information and hones in on anything that matches up with things that are familiar to us or we're focused on. This is a good thing, but it has the potential to make things very challenging as well. I remem

In Arrow Tip #29 I told you if you want to leverage your mindset to get better results then you'll need to start asking better questions because many times we ask questions that are disempowering. Asking the right types of questions is a great way to open doors to new possibilities in your life. But many times we aren't asking ANY questions at all. Quite frequently we've already come to a conclusion about ourselves, others, or a situation. We do this when we make statem

NO......I'm not talking about guns here......I'm talking about mental and emotional triggers.....be it people, places, or things. In most cases, people see triggers as negative, but they don't have to be. I want to show you how to leverage your triggers to bring about positive change. In my functional medicine practice, I've worked with many people who have food-related triggers that elicit an inflammatory response in their bodies. Due to a variety of reasons their systems

What if it doesn't work out? What if it's the wrong decision? What if things get messed up? What if I don't get better? What if......what if.......WHAT IF?????!! Have you ever been down this rabbit hole? Usually, we ask these questions when we're in a situation where we don't have control of the outcome or we don't KNOW how things will turn out. In other words, it's an UNKNOWN. That can be a scary place for some people so see Arrow Tip #6 for help with this type of f

As we travel along the path of life quite often we find ourselves in situations that cause us stress, anxiety, and other uncomfortable emotions. We spend a great deal of time managing these circumstances by focusing on what's happening TO us rather than what's happening IN us. As the old saying goes....."Nothing's happening to you, it's happening through you". We see the "outer" world as the cause of our pain and try to change that rather than ourselves. When we start m

I work with many individuals trying to improve their health in some way. A big part of the care and healing comes from making changes to their diet. We start by taking out food that has little to no nutritional value. We remove foods that are triggering to their specific body systems. And lastly, we implement highly nutritious foods and increase the consumption of these on a daily basis. Immediately the body begins the process of repair and healing and in time we see the r

Our experiences greatly impact our minds. When we experience something it not only affects how we think and feel, but it gives our mind data for the future. This can be a good thing but sometimes, if we're not paying attention, it can really create more problems for us. Our brains are records of the past, full of memories. Some of those memories might be good and enjoyable. That's great and remembering happy experiences is highly beneficial when it puts us into a positive
