    Benefits of Uncertainty

    Uncertainty isn't something most of us eagerly welcome, yet it holds hidden benefits if we take a closer look.

    Start Of Your Day

    Small gestures can deliver big returns. 

    Given how hectic life can be, it is easy to become oblivious to all the daily opportunities we encounter to do something to help ourselves. I am talking about things such as nodding hello to a stranger you are passing by, asking how the person serving you a coffee is doing, asking a colleague how their child’s music recital went last night, etc.

    Whoa, Victor I thought this was about “helping me”? It is! Science research clearly shows these little acts of engagement will provide you with a feeling of connection, belonging and even elevate your happiness. 

    So, think about starting off your day with a “two for one”  by taking a moment to deliver a small act of kindness to the person across from you and yourself!

    Self Care Part 1

    Let’s talk about personal boundaries for family caregivers. 

    Setting expectations for others around how you expect to be treated isn’t mean. It’s not you stiff-arming the people around you. 

    It’s you giving yourself the opportunity to say “yes” to more things that bring you joy.

    Plan Versus Reaction

    As family caregivers, it’s all too easy to fall into a constant state of “reaction mode” vs. maintaining control of our days. If you feel like your time really isn’t yours to enjoy, here are 3 quick tips for taking back the reins while effectively caring for your loved one AND yourself.

  • Happiness Versus Joy

    Happiness Versus Joy

    Happiness is something we all seek. In fact, it is something if we don’t believe we found we being to look at ourselves through a lens of personal failure.  However, do we even understand what happiness is and what is necessary to achieve it?

    It has been my experience most people look at happiness through “outer” directed goals. You know, if I make $XX dollars, I will be happy, if I lose XX lbs I will be happy. This is transactional thinking and with it happiness is elusive.

    Research shows that real happiness is achieved by following your joy, that emotion that addresses purpose and meaning in our lives. It is “inner” versus “outer” driven  and less transactional.

    Following the joyful  experience that  motivates engagement everyday is the surest pathway to personal  happiness!

  • Friendships

    Friendships

    Friendships are a path to great joy!!

    Friendships are so essential to our emotional and physical 
    well-being.  In fact, major studies clearly indicate the leading predictors of long term health and happiness are the quality of social connections and friendships. 

    It is important to be aware that as we get older and life gets more complicated it’s easy to begin taking friendships for granted. Unconsciously, we can  not give our friendships the time and attention they need to evolve.

    Friendships are wonderful. Please give them the special attention and open communication needed to develop and grow!
