You might be looking a little too closely...
Have you ever stood so close to a painting that all you could see were the brushstrokes?
No shape, no color, justā¦ texture? That was me this morning, but with my own life.
I was leaning in so close to a couple of specific things, that everything else in my peripheral was starting to blur.
Do you ...

You already have everything you need.
Over the holidays I went to my happy place - the beach.Ā
But Iāll be honest: It wasn't the tropical vibe you're probably picturing.
It was the beautiful sandy beaches of...Gulf Shores, Alabama.
AKA when waking up in the morning, 35 degrees with a "real feel" of 16.
Not exactly textbook "beach" we...

Stop trying to finish the year and start being present
I sent this video out to my Group Coaching members last week, and thought maybe you could use it too...
We're in the last weeks of the year and there's still a LOT left to happen... AND I'm planning to be on vacation during part of that.
When that happens, I see time running out and bec...

Stop focusing on what you're missing
Do you have that one thing that gets all your attention?
The one thing that you can't stop thinking about?
The one thing that you obsess spending time and energy over?
And here's the kicker...
Is that one thing something that's out of your control?
Is thatĀ one thing not even one of your...

You're getting charged for this habit...and you probably don't even realize it
We all drag our feet sometimes.
Maybe you keep pushing off cleaning all the leaves out of the gutter.
Or just can't get around to re-securing a loose button on a shirt.Ā
Or can't summon the energy to catch up with family or friends.
Avoidance feels pretty trivial. After all, you'll just...

Filling the gap between who you are and who you want to be
Recently I've been talking about the idea of AAA.
When I start a coaching relationship with someone, I spend a lot of time asking questions.Ā
Sometimes uncomfortable questions.
Like, "Hey, so what got in the way of you doing that?"
And the aswer is usually something like, "Well, I don't...

Before you fix the 'how,' you need to fix the 'what'
There's a billboard on one of my drives that keeps catching my attention.
It says "We fix bad vision."
(I think it catches my attention because as a coach, I usually try to encourage people to say things in a more positive or affirming way:
"We help you see better" or "We help you see a...

What do you do when people don't want to change?
I've been processing some of the things going on in the world lately, along with things happening in my own life.
And sometimes when I process heavy things, I start to feel overwhelmed:
- What am I supposed to do with that?- What's my purpose in that?- How do I handle this?
I get so dr...

Are weedy thoughts choking what you want to grow?
Ā
We're heading into winter soon so wanna tell this story real quick while it's still relevant.
So...Once a week the lawn people come and mow my yard.
And right after they mow, everything looks so good, and even, and level...
But by the next morning, inevitably, a weed has shot up out o...

When small tweaks cause major chaos
I hurt my knee earlier this week while cramming in some early morning yardwork.
You know the deal...when you think "Oh, I can just check that off the list real quick."
So out I went to do my annual fall chopping-of-the-clematis-off-my-trellis in my Adidas slides.
(i.e. not dressed parti...

Are you truly enjoying the chase?
"Find what you love and let it kill you."
To be clear, that's my dog.
She loves tennis balls. And I'm pretty sure that if she could, she'd chase them to fatal exhaustion.
The more I throw the ball, the more she runs after it.
She's huffing, puffing and panting and still running after it.....

Stop doing "stuff". Start moving forward.
Ever have times where you're like, "Dude, what am IĀ even doing?"
You spent the whole day doing stuff...but don't really know what it was.
Or you spent the whole day doing stuff...when you really should have been doing other stuff.
And at the end, all that "doing" ends up feeling like it d...
