Today’s article was written by Change Coach Becky Gagnon I hear this phrase often from people who want to lose weight: “I just don’t feel like myself at this weight. I want to feel like myself again.” Here’s the thing though: you ARE yourself. You are yourself. Your “you-ness” doesn’t come from your body. How could it? If it did,
In a recent LSBC call, a woman was talking about how her mind is always trying to be in control. Constantly scrambling to know everything, so that it can protect and prevent. That is its job, after all. I guess what it really comes down to, she concluded after a moment of reflection, is a deep, human
Today’s article was written by Change Coach Lindsey Elliott You know the kind of thinking I am talking about….it whirls around, and around in your head, and demands that you do something about this situation/behavior/person NOW! You feel compelled, uncomfortable, angry, resentful, anxious… and it all looks so urgent, demanding action now. It can be very hard
Change doesn’t happen by trying to change. Trying to change is actually the opposite of what’s helpful. Trying to change thoughts, feelings, behaviors, level of consciousness, or anything else is a rejection of what is. It’s telling life that it got it wrong; that what’s arising should not be.

Today’s article was written by Change Coach Missy Maiorano God comes to you disguised as your life. —Father Richard Rohr Recently, I was asked to think of a childhood memory from my first decade of life.

You sit back in and as the formless–in and as the seat of awareness–rather than hooking into temporary forms of thought and feeling. You zoom out to notice that you’re aware of what’s rising and falling rather than zooming in on what’s rising and falling. You’re
I’ve gotten a lot of questions about the difference between welcoming what arises and wallowing in what arises. This welcoming stuff is not a perfect science. Please keep in mind that my words I share around it are not what-to-do, but are pointing you in a general direction. A most important feature of welcoming is curiosity. Curious means
My sister and I used to play with a plastic beach ball in our pool. Between the ball falling into the bristly bushes around the pool and our cat batting it around, it had some tiny holes. Air was leaking, but it was slow. There was plenty of air left for the ball to float, and even
I recently read The Lion Tracker’s Guide to Life by Boyd Varty. Trackers find a first track that piques their interest and follow it until they can’t anymore. Sometimes they lose the track, or the track simply stops. When that happens, they find another first track and follow that one until they can’t anymore. They don’t know where
As I talk about leaning into what’s arising with so many people lately, a funny thing keeps showing up.
