And unfortunately, my shot was off. And when I say off, I mean way off. I felt like I couldn’t make a shot if my life depended on it. In fact, I even shouted that out loud! But that’s when I realized what I was doing wrong. Every time I missed a shot, I was reinforcing the idea that I couldn’t make one. And as a result, I kept missing over and over again. But what I was doing wrong wasn’t my only problem. I wasn’t doing enough things right either. This is kind of embarrassing to admit, but I was a much better shooter when I was a kid than I am today. Granted, I played almost every day back then. But I was only about five feet tall. And now I’m over six! So physically, there was no reason why I was b...

It will present you with new ideas, insights and plans. 
Remember that the most important thing is that you act on these ideas and insights, because no plan ever mattered that wasn’t put into action. This was a guest post by Daniel M. Wood.

Fortunately, there is an easier way. You will manage your goals and move closer to the more capable, confident person you know you’re ready to be by breaking your bigger goals into smaller, more easily attainable mini-goals. Any goal can be broken into its base components, with baby steps that mean fewer obstacles along the way, and a clearer view of your progress. Smashing Obstacles Will Strengthen Your Confidence By taking a biggest goal and chunking it into smaller, bite-sized pieces, you immediately removed your largest obstacle. Many goals end up in the graveyard of intentions because they quickly become daunting and overwhelming. Once overwhelmed, it’s all too easy to t...

Half the group was African American, and I got to hear their stories, which horrified me. Most of them could not reveal to any member in their family what they were doing (the outpatient program) because the stigma is so deep and tall and wide. My heart went out to them. Without support from the community, or at least family and friends, how does a person recover? So I was delighted to hear bestselling author and licensed social worker Terri M. Williams speak at the Mental Health America this summer. She inscribed for me a copy of her evocative and insightful book Black Pain: It Just Looks Like We’re N...

Now that’s an enticing job. Where do I sign up? Apparently I’d pop on over to Indiana University, as that’s where the latest batch of researchers come from who have something to say about sex in America. As a part of the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior, researchers surveyed a national, representative sample of 5,865 people ages 14 to 94. They recently published some of their initial findings in The Journal of Sexual Medicine. So without further ado, here are 11 surprising facts about sex in America from that survey. 1. Condom use is pretty uncommon. Only 1 in 4 acts of sexual intercourse are protected by a condom. Condoms are, of course, the most reliable method to avoid s...

Ah. Yeah. Every time I write about this controversial topic, I usually get hammered by the left, right, and center. This is obviously delicate ground, so let me tread lightly. In a recent Johns Hopkins Health Alert called “The Challenge of Antidepressant Medication and Intimacy,” I read this: While sexual dysfunction is a frequent symptom of depression itself (and successful treatment of depression may eliminate it), antidepressant medication can sometimes worsen or even cause sexual problems. In fact, sexual dysfunction is a potential side effect of all classes of antidepressants. Between 30% and 70% of people who take antidepressant medications experience sex...

Pausch had become internationally known for his now famous Last Lecture, which was viewed by millions (you can watch it below) and was the subject of his #1 bestseller of the same name, which has already been translated into at least 30 languages. Since his diagnosis, Mr. Pausch had been treated with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and an experimental cancer vaccine. So what is it about pancreatic cancer that makes it so deadly? Let’s start with some basic information. Pancreatic cancer will be diagnosed in about 37,680 Americans in 2008 and will take the lives of about 34,290, making it the fourth most common cause of cancer death after lung, colon, prostate and bre...
