Why emotional eating and overdrinking is a gift
I love working with my clients who engage in emotional eating and overdrinking for so many reasons. The first is that they feel their emotions so deeply.
The feelings you need to have to lose weight and make more money
If there is something you really, really want to create or attract into your life, let’s say weight loss, more money, an amazing relationship, then it’s extremely important to be aware and then create the dominant feelings that will attract it. If your dominant feelings are not lined up with what you are trying to create, then you will attract more of what you don’t want.
How to change a bad habit
What I have found when working with many of my life and weight loss clients, as well as former therapy clients, is that most of the bad habits that we want to change fall into a category we term in coaching as: “buffering”.
Risking social death
When we want to be exceptional and stand out in some way, whether it’s in business, in our art, or our athletic pursuits, we have to step out from the group.
Rebelling against plan
