It’s the enemy of creativity, productivity, and, well, sanity. In The Artist’s Way, author Julia Cameron writes: “Perfectionism is a refusal to let yourself move ahead. It is a loop — an obsessive, debilitating closed system that causes you to get stuck in the details of what you are writing or painting or making and to lose sight of the whole.” But you don’t even have to be creating anything to be crippled by perfectionism. It can also frustrate your efforts as a mom, a wife, a friend, and a human being. Because no one and no thing is perfect in this blemished world of ours. I tackle this adversary everyday. And although my inner perfectionist clearly has hold of my brain many days, I do think I am handcuffed less often by the fear of mes...

The idea for a post was already taking shape in my mind when I had an exchange of e-mails with a blog reader (and she is free to name herself in the comments if she wants to) ending up with me being asked whether I believed in God and past life regression. This is a a blog on Life Coaching and self development so I doubt you have any interest in my opinion on God. But maybe you’re interested in hearing about things that are connected to the self development industry that I’ve done a volte face on since becoming a Life Coach and dealing one-on-one...

I think if I’m being honest, I saw them as the lazy persons meditation, or maybe even meditation without the spiritual element. Also, when they first hit the scene commercially speaking, they were ridiculously expensive and I know people that have spent literally thousands of dollars on programs from companies such as Holosync. Having said that, people who I like, trust, and respect have been raving about their benefits for some while now and urging me to check them out.  So when Carl approached my about writing a post I thought it may be time to lower my skeptical guard and give him the platform to convince me. It’s a longish post, but that’s because it goes into the ...

That’s why I asked Craig to write the ‘What Is The Sedona Method?’ post a short while ago and the reason I asked Joely Black of Amnar fame if she’d tell me (and you) more about Holosync. I have heard some great reports, but don’t know that much about it other than it involved binaural beats. I’m also keen to run posts on EFT, The Silva Mind Control Method and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. So if you, or anybody you know, is an expert in one of those areas or anything similar, please let me know. In the meantime, if you have had any experiences, either positive or negative using binaural beats, please let me know in the comments. What Is Holosync? This is the danger of Twitter. You c...

It brings out emotions, makes us want to dance and sing, and soothes and relaxes when you’re weary. Now a new Italian study highlights the fact that  “music induces a continuous, dynamic—and to some extent predictable—change in the cardiovascular system.” This new study is a follow on from previous studies done by Luciano Bernardi and his team which had found that changes in the respiratory and cardiovascular systems mirrored musical tempos. To find out more about how the body responds to changing rhythms, they hooked up 24 volunteers - half experienced singers, half with no musical training - to monitors that measure physiological signals. The volunteers were then subjected to five random selections of Bach, Beethoven, Pu...

To tell you the truth, I’m not all that sure. I spent much of my deep depression wandering aimlessly, completely lost, not knowing which voices to follow. I acted on everyone’s suggestions. Some worked. Others didn’t. I compiled the exercises that made me feel better into a personally designed 12-step mental health program, related to but different from the 12-step program practiced by addicts and their kin. They are ways to boost my neurotransmitters into action–getting those lazy bones passing messages from one neuron to the next–and to inspire nerve generation and cell reproduction in the amydgala and hippocampus regions of the brain.

Some parts were fine, but others worked against my weaknesses. In short, I was pretty worried. When I went in to work, it all went better than I expected. Some bumps in the road, but it was a great learning experience with good support. I knew this in my head going in, but I was still worried. And I was still somewhat worried about doing it the next time. So if my logic tells me it’s likely to be OK, why did I still get so worried? Worrying is feeling anxious about something that could or will happen in the future. The emotion usually includes fear of either something specific or of the unknown. Your heart beats faster, you might feel sweaty, and you often feel a sense of physical tension in your ...

The Boston Globe has the full story: Naps boost sophisticated memory Also, while I’m here, for some reason the Associated Press again published the same story about a supposed Truman Show disorder, already published by multiple news outlets back in July (and which we covered with our usual skepticism back then). No new updates, apparently just another reason to get its proponents in the news again. (Read the new non-update here.) Does anybody even bother with fact checking any longer in journalism?

The r-word is kind of r-rated around here and, indeed, just simply rude. And a sign of a rube?

In the midst of discussions about the “r-word” in the Tropic Thunder movie, the words we use to refer to “kids who are different” or “academically challenged” or “special ed/special needs” resonate. When did “special” come to mean “needs SPECIAL education,” with undercurrents of, “not the most academically gifted student; not even average”? It’s not an academic question to me. My son Charlie’s academic abilities are “way way below” those considered “average” for his grade and age. And yet Jim and I, and his teachers too, aren&#...

And, why they should stop doing it. Here’s an article on the Special Olympics website about the boycott.

The film is directed by actor Ben Stiller and is, according to the August 10th New York Times, a “movie-industry spoof”: A particular sore point has been the film’s repeated use of the term “retard” in referring to a character, Simple Jack, who is played by Mr. Stiller in a subplot about an actor who chases an Oscar by portraying a mindless dolt. …..

The “high energy” drinks are not so hot for your heart. This isn’t brain surgery, caffeine raises the ol’ blood pressure thus cardiac issues. Shortly after consumption, your systolic rate increases by over 7.5% and diastolic raises 7% and heart rate is up 7-10 beats per minute. And why is this? Here ya go… Most energy drinks contain high levels of caffeine and taurine, an amino acid also found in protein-containing foods such as meats and fish. Both have had effects on heart function and blood pressure in some studies. In contrast, “sports drinks” in general contain various mixtures of water, sugars and salts alone, without chemicals aimed at increasing “energy” or alertnes...

In fat or obese people the heart actually looks like it is covered in yellow goo, aka the fat tissue. Yellow… no good. Red… good! 2. Even though we are taught to put our hand over our heart on the left side of our chest, it is actually tucked away between our lungs in the middle of our chests. Think of it as being protected. 3.

Lots of patients ignore those guidelines, trying everything from school basketball teams and community tennis leagues to running marathons and rock climbing — although no one knows if the life-saving implants work as well under that kind of stress. Many of these athletes will now take part in a nationwide registry to see once and for all if this is a validated risk. Do the athletes need more “shocks” to the heart than other persons that would watch from the sidelines? Can the implanted defibrillators withstand a direct hit to the chest? This registry will hopefully be able to give us more answers. With more and more ICD&#8217...
