Lately, the comparison gremlins have been popping up in interesting - and annoying - ways. Sometimes they tell me I'm not succeeding at work; other times, I should be doing more with my dogs. Just yesterday, Facebook suggested a friend because of mutual connections, and I thought, "What would that p...
So by now, you probably know I'm obsessed with goal setting. It's more than coming up with goals, rather it's creating a plan to make sure they come to fruition. We all have goals, but we don't all have plans.
{If you're unfamiliar, I have a whole methodology that spurred an online course, plus a p...
Because I know you're on pins and needles wondering how my games-only weekend was with Moxie, I'll share. (heehee)
The short answer is that I stuck to my plan, and I hope progress was made (more on the progress in a moment). But as always, there's a little more to the story.
Thursday and Fri...
Lately, several of my 1:1 coaching calls have been about "big moments." Big moments or big events tend to come with a LOT of emotional baggage and added pressure. Examples include sitting at 19 (IYKYK), national events and specialties, the first trial after a long rehab, and even the most beautiful ...
This week as many of my friends head west to Tulsa for the agility National, I can't help but feel a bit jealous. Mind you, I didn't try to qualify, I just wish I were going - haha.
Watching someone else achieve something you also want can trigger all sorts of feelings. Are you wildly happy for you...
The idea of “manifesting” is hardly new - some people think it’s crap and others swear by it. No matter where you fall on this continuum, you’re right, of course. Me? I’m firmly in the manifesting camp but I don’t believe you can simply wish something into existence - you’ve got to “move your feet.”...
Over in the Q-Membership this month, we are talking about the impact our energy has on our dogs and our performance. One of the first things that came up was the “energy of chasing,” or the concept that we are always chasing after something. Titles, Qs, big events … you name it, we are going after i...
Proximity being what it is, I have many friends who are headed off to Westminster this month. Unlike previous years, this time, it will take place in a pastoral setting (think natural grass) away from the hustle and bustle of the city and cement. I am performing all the good-weather rituals for ever...
I talk about goals a whole bunch, precisely the difference between outcome goals and process goals. But from now on, I'm adding a layer above outcome - decisions.
Decision. To decide. From my handy-dandy Mac app:
de·cide | dəˈsīd |
verb [with object]
come to a resolution in the mind as a result ...
The other weekend I was running agility with Moxie. As the cruelty of the schedule gods would have it, we were in the first and last classes of the day.
Or so I thought.
So there I was hanging out in the parking lot, spread out in my end spot with Indie lounging in the sun, and I just happened to ...
Theodore Roosevelt famously said, “Comparison is the thief of joy.”
Social media has almost set us up to compare our real lives with those carefully curated and shared on platforms designed to judge. (Don’t believe me? Think about the origins of Facebook!). And social platforms are perfectly design...
If you’ve been following me, you may have noticed that my inspiration for these blogs mostly comes from three sources: the struggles clients share with me; the new things I learn and can’t wait to pass on; and the sh*t I am personally going through. Today’s blog is brought to you by door #3.
I beli...
