If there is something you don’t like, it would make sense to change it. If your job is making you miserable, start looking for a different one. If you don’t like where you live, consider moving. If you don’t like your current set of friends, find new ones. But what if you are the problem?…
1. Word I learned this week… Euthymia: A Greek word used by Seneca in his essay on tranquility, he defined as “believing in yourself and trusting that you are on the right path, and not being in doubt by following the myriad footpaths of those wandering in every direction.” I came across it this week…
Human beings love to understand everything. We have a deep understanding of so much… the solar system, the eco system, the human body, etc. Billions of dollars and billions of hours have gone into studying and deconstructing any and every aspect of life. We’ve had incredible breakthroughs and advances. Of all areas of interest, human…
1. Book I read… I finished a great book, Stillness is the Key, by Ryan Holiday. It is very timely, as many of us have a little more free time. We tend to think that to be successful we need to go…go… go. Personally, one of my problems is that I do something, get a…
With all the doom and gloom that we are surrounded by right now, many are getting the feeling that the world is coming to an end. So… is the world coming to an end??? Simple answer… NO! I do not want to minimize what is going on right now. There are some very serious issues…
1. An Important Video Message… 2. Something I’ve been doing more (I did it this morning)… We often don’t appreciate feeling good… until we feel bad. I have been taking time more often to stop, close my eyes, breath in and out, and really appreciate feeling good. When you are sick with a cough, aching…
There is so much information out right now about the coronavirus that I don’t believe there is much I can add that you don’t already know. But based on what I have been hearing from patients, I will clarify a few things that might be of help. I will then finish with some words of…
1. Coronavirus update… Simply put, this virus is fairly benign for most of us. However, the concern is how contagious it is, and its effect on the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. The action to shut down sporting events, schools, and other highly populated events and activities was confusing to me at first,…
I have written before about how taking care of yourself, which can be viewed as selfish, is actually self-less if viewed properly. By investing time and money in improving your health and well-being, you actually become better for those you serve, care for, or work for. It makes sense to take breaks, schedule time for…
1. Something I get to check off my bucket list… I love snow skiing. I’ve done some hardcore skiing in the past, in the back-country, through unmarked terrain, but it required hiking in, then skiing down. For as long as I can remember, I wanted to go heli-skiing, where a helicopter carries you to the…
