I know I recently had a spiritual webinar about breaking emotional, mental, and physical triggers, but people had lots of questions. I don't feel like we had enough time to get them all answered in the spirituality webinar we had a couple weeks ago. So I'm doing this topic again with a little more
Torch Song Trilogy
A perennial favorite on the blog and requested repost: I saw this movie in the theater when it came out and I was pretty tortured and depressed at the time. I had just ended my marriage and was wrestling with … Continue reading →
Successfully Overcoming Depression: A Case Study
When I look back at how my life used to be, it is almost impossible to believe the transformation. Overcoming depression has been a long process, but it’s been worth it, because today I live my life as the person I know I as meant to be. It’s a vast difference from the miserable alcoholic …

Just go
“You don’t have to go fast…you just have to go.” – T. Harv Eker To make progress, you must get started. Life begins in a better way when you take the first step, when you begin the journey. Recognize that achieving excellence in your life is less about velocity and more about action. Action creates momentum. Acceleration will show up as you move forward, but you first have to break the bonds of inertia, and fear, and hesitation. And you break those bonds when you take the first step. So today, release your grip on the past, take the first step and just go. The post Just go appeared first on Healthy Mind Heart Body.
Belief
I use to think that belief was the first step to success. But now I know that the first step is to take the first step. You have to act even when you don’t believe. You need to have the courage to move forward in spite of your self-doubt and fears. When I started writing and speaking over ten years ago I had no confidence, no experience and no belief and yet I was willing to take the first step. Did I fail? You bet. Did I face ridicule and rejection? You bet. Did I want to give…
Disorder is not disfunction
“Embrace the glorious mess that you are.” – Elizabeth Gilbert You’re in some phase of personal home improvement You’re fixing some area of your life that needs repair and renovation. You’re tearing down what no longer works, and are deep in the process of redesign and remodeling. You’re in an undertaking filled with dust and disorder, where it’s difficult to see the desired end state of your efforts. Embrace the mess that shows up while you’re building something new, something better. Embrace the seeming chaos that comes along with your personal transformation, your reinvention. Recognize that you’re not impaired, you’re a work in process. Know that no matter the disorder that surrounds you, you are enough, you …
On Suicidal Thoughts
Once you have your first suicidal thought, you’ve did it, you’ve won at life. Nothing scares you anymore. Death is just another friend, maybe the only one. You start going through life fearlessly, and thus confidently. You’re no longer afraid to take chances, because what’s the worst case? You die? You’ve already been there. It’s not that scary. The death of others no longer saddens you. Some may say this is a downside, but I think it’s an advantage.Also, suicidal thoughts usually occur when you hit the bottom, or when you think you did. You think that it can’t get worse than this, and if you survived, everything that

Move to the front of the line
“Move your dreams from some day to this day.” – Ralph Marston You get what you want when you move to the front of the line. Why be timid, why hold back? Until you put your dreams on high priority, until you move them to the front of the line and act on them, they remain mere dreams. Why not possess your dreams? Why not

As such, these are the top 10 spiritual cities for this little spiritual awakening blog over the past 4 years. Some of it might surprise some of my regular readers, and here's a quick little teaser: the top city isn't in the U.S.Now, …

by Andrea Blundell Ask a marijuana user why they smoke (and there are many users indeed, with over 2.3 million Brits reporting themselves as using within the last year) and they might claim marijuana makes them feel better or more relaxed.

It’s not about where you are…
“Where you are today doesn’t determine where you can go; it merely determines where you start.” The key limiting factor to getting what you want, for going where you want to go, exists between your ears. It’s you, not where you are, not your circumstance. Become accountable for where you want to go, for what you want in your life, for the person you become in the process. Move beyond excuses and blame and take action – massive
20 Life Skills to Keep Peace in Your Relationship
It is inevitable that in every relationship there are going to be differences, and everyone has days when their emotions can get the better of them. The problem is not that we have differences in our relationship, the problem lies in the way we handle those differences. When our ego gets in the way, we can easily say or do things that threaten the peace of our relationship and increase the level of relationship stress. Instead of putting the peace of your relationship on the line when there’s a problem, wouldn’t it be better to develop the life skills needed to resolve problems with consideration, awareness and respect? 20 Life skills …
The Inability to Ask for What You Want
A common core issue that people struggle with is the inability to ask for what they want. If you can't ask for what you want, generally speaking, you won't get it. Now, of course, I spend a lot of time helping people understand why they want what they want, but for this post, I'll assume you've done your work. You've drilled down past the outer defenses and socially trained responses to get the core of things. Maybe you've even touched the Truth (a spiritual opening or glimpse of awakening) or that Truth is now abiding within you (spiritual awakening).Regardless, this is a post for the more advanced practitioner. This …
Fear of Change Cramping Your Style? Here’s Why
Secretly dread change but hate to admit it? Hardly surprising, when we live in an achievement oriented society where opportunists are admired and those who don’t like their boats rocked can be unkindly labeled lazy or boring. The truth is that even many of us who pretend we are okay with life throwing us curve balls? …

Welcome to the ultra marathon
“If everything seems under control, you’re just not going fast enough.” – Mario Andretti Beware when you start patting yourself on the back, thinking you have finished the race, thinking you have arrived, thinking you have things under control. That’s when you’re starting to slide, when the ground is shifting beneath your feet and you’re clueless to your situation. Don’t hang around too long after you cross the finish line, because it’s time to move to the next starting gate, it’s time to begin again, only better. Welcome to the ultra marathon of life!

How To Achieve A State Of Happiness
This is one subject that we all think about once in awhile. I have found that although difficult we can achieve a state of happiness so long as we direct our thinking to that state of mind. Sometimes I’ll watch these talk shows that are targeted towards helping people with concerns, like being overweight, being self critical, not knowing how to solve their problems, feelings of depression etc. and the one thing I find about these people with these problems is that they don’t seem to know that it’s their own thoughts, their own way of seeing themselves, their own ways of focusing on more negative thoughts than positive thoughts that make…
Someday becomes never…
“Your problem isn’t ideas. Your problem is that you don’t act on them.” – Mel Robbins The synapses of your brain keep firing, delivering incredible ideas, feeding your imagination and stirring your creative juices. But where do you take that energy? Do you explore, envision, evaluate the possibilities contained in those ideas? Do you consider how you might act on them, and then take the next step? Or do you simply file and forget them in the “someday” folder? It’s okay to say yes, to say no, to attach conditions for action. But it’s not okay…
