Lemonade from the Abuse Lemon Tree - Wellbeing Wisdom...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2024/05/11

Did you grow up in a lemon grove? Were you mistreated as a child? Maybe you had an abusive parent or uncle or grandparent. Maybe there was an abuser in your church family. There are so many ways that grown-ups mistreat children, sometimes meaning to and sometimes not, that it’s a miracle so many of us manage to become functional adults. My goal for you is to be more than just functional – you deserve a wagalicious life, where you take those lemons that were hurled at you and make

Reminding Yourself to Feel Better - Wellbeing Wisdom...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2024/05/10

Can you remember to feel better whenever you’d like? We feel by default. It’s learned behavior, and here’s how I know that: two people can look at the same thing and feel completely different feelings. One person can see a wedding party headed to the ceremony and their heart will sing with joy because they believe in the power of new beginnings. Another person could see that same wedding party and their heart will hurt because their experience with marriage hasn’t been a joyful one. The

Gently But Firmly Throw It Overboard - Wellbeing...

2024/05/09

Maybe you’re like me – you like mementoes of the things you’ve done, the places you’ve been, and the people you’ve shared your life with. You like those things, right up until you don’t. Do you have too much stuff, too? Talking to a friend who likes to fish, he used the term “catch & release” and it’s a powerful idea – it’s fine to gather those mementoes and when you’re ready, it’s fine to release them, too. You lose nothing by releasing things that you don’t need, because you’re not

Learning to Change Your Emotional Volume - Wellbeing...

2024/05/08

Can you think of your emotions as having a volume control? You know how sometimes you feel really sad, and other times you’re feeling down? That feeling of sad would have a higher volume than feeling down would. Sometimes you are so happy you want to jump for joy, and sometimes you are contented. Joy would have a higher volume than contented. Same emotional root, just more or less of it. There – now that you understand that your emotions have a volume control, take this in – you are in 100%

Are you someone who looks for permission from others? Maybe you feel bad about leaving work once your job and workday are done, when others are still working. Maybe you feel like you should pick up the slack driving carpool, even though one of the other mothers almost never does her part. Maybe you put the needs of your family and friends ahead of your own because that’s what you think you’re supposed to do. Let me give you permission to not need permission. There is no shame in being

Is Doing Your Best Enough? - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny...

2024/05/06

A friend posted this online recently and I loved it so much that I got permission to use it as a Tiny Bite. Most of us were raised to do right, to get things right, to be agreeable, to be self-sufficient, to work hard, and to be the person our parents wanted us to be. Those are all admirable qualities, until we use them to beat ourselves up when we feel we’ve missed the mark. Listen up – here’s a list of awards that do not exist, so quit trying to earn them: Most Perfect Never Said No

How Not to Live in Another's Anger - Wellbeing Wisdom...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2024/05/05

How do you feel when someone is mad at you?Most people don’t like to make others mad, and depending on the relationship with the angry person, your feelings can range from hurt to defensive to a level of anger matching the other person’s. It’s human and normal to react to others’ reaction to you, and yet it is an exercise in pointlessness to try to change their feelings. Apologize in whatever manner is appropriate to your view of what happened, and then you move on. They’ll either get over

Can You Be Silent? Will You? Should You? - Wellbeing...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2024/05/04

There is so much power in silence! It took me most of my life to figure this out and I want you to know it and use it way earlier than I did. Silence is the unexpected response. People expect agreement or argument – they don’t expect no response at all. Think about the last argument you were part of – how did it feel, and how did it play out? Was there agreement in the end, even if it was just agreeing to disagree? Even that doesn’t feel good, does it? What if, instead of being part of the

2024/05/03

Have you ever been around someone who is stuck in the aftermath of a life change? Some people simply don’t have the coping skills to move on. Don’t get me wrong – moving on is hard, especially when the life change was unexpected or unwanted or both. There’s not much that’s more tedious than having to re-live someone’s heartache over and over and over and over every time you’re with them. And there’s not much that’s more heartbreaking for the person than to be stuck. A great visual is their

Behold the Crazy Arguing Person - Wellbeing Wisdom...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2024/05/02

Is there someone in your life who always seems to be clashing with others, and maybe even with you? It’s like they live to argue, and only listen to a conversation long enough to find something or someone to correct. People like that are attention-seekers. They need to be the center of attention, and the way they have found is to contradict whatever’s being said. When you find yourself in conversation with someone like that, there are two ways to play it. If you have the time and the focus

Quick – think about the worst teacher you ever had. What was it about that person that made sitting through their class so hard?Now, think about the best teacher you ever had – what made them so great? Have I told you about Mr. Buhn, my high school physics teacher? Getting into his class was tough – your GPA had to be great and there still was a waiting list each semester. He was popular because he made learning fun, incorporating everyday life into his teaching method. He jokingly

How You Grow Into Resilience - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny...

2024/04/30

What is resilience and how can you create more of it in your life? Resilience is trust. Trust in your ability to persevere. Trust in your ability to react appropriately. Trust in your ability to choose your next step wisely. How do you learn to trust yourself? By making mistakes, recognizing the mistakes, and from there, making a better choice. You can only become resilient through the rough patches in your life, through dealing with the adversity that life inevitably tosses your way, and

How to Know You're Truly Lost - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny...

2024/04/29

Do you ever get lost? I know – it’s tougher than ever to get lost trying to drive somewhere. We have Waze, Google Maps, Siri – so many ways to help us get where we’re going, and yet, now and then those apps fail. How do you feel when you’re lost? Panicked? Frantic? Irritated? Angry? Can you make yourself laugh in that moment? Because if you can, you’ll put your brain in the mental space it needs to be in order to problem-solve for you. When we’re in panic mode, or are scared, irritated, or

How Tears are a Superpower - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites

2024/04/28

Do you cry easily? Some people do, and that’s OK. Do you hate to cry, especially in front of others? Some people, me included, do, and that’s OK, too. The focus of my work with people and teams is to help people shift gears in life on purpose, creating a more harmonious, calm, successful, happy life. Banishing negative emotions and teary episodes isn’t the way to do that. If you need to cry, cry. Don’t beat yourself up for crying – it’s a sign that you’re alive and human, not a sign of

Are You Dying to Live or Living to Die? - Wellbeing...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2024/04/27

One of my favorite famous-person quotes is from the late Norman Cousins: “The tragedy of life is not death, but what we let die inside of us while we live.” Norman Cousins was an American journalist and author who went on to become an adjunct professor at the University of California Los Angeles in the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences. His research focus was the connection between attitude and health – he pioneered the idea that laughter truly is the best medicine, and

Did you know your brain changes size during the year?It’s OK – everyone’s does, and researchers are trying to figure out just how and why these changes are triggered. Some changes are tied to the length of daylight, some seem affected by barometric pressure and humidity, and scientists are scratching their heads trying to make sense of our fluctuating brains. In the winter, the part of your brain that controls fine motor skills gets smaller, while in the summer months, the part of your

Are you lamenting the passing of time? Wishing for a time in your life where your body was younger, your responsibilities were lighter, and your hopes and dreams felt reachable?Please stop wasting your precious energy and time looking backwards. You’re not going that way, nor could you even if you really wanted to. Nostalgia for a simpler time is a normal human reaction to stress or uncertainty, and when we look back, we often focus on what we remember that we liked about those times,

How Not to Discredit the Credit You've Earned -...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2024/04/24

Do you give yourself as much credit as you deserve? Probably not – most of us don’t. What comes easily to each of us is our gift, and we usually take our gifts for granted. Even when you’ve spent years and years adding to your knowledge and expertise, you’re working on a part of you that you love, so it doesn’t feel like work. And when someone compliments you on how good you are at whatever your gift is, if you’re like most people, you “aw, shucks” through the compliment, maybe even

Want to be Successful? Here's How - Wellbeing Wisdom...

2024/04/23

Do you make space for things that make you happy? Most people don’t because they don’t believe that being happy is important. They don’t understand that one of the major predictors of success in life is having a satisfying life, and in order to have satisfaction, you must prioritize your own happiness. One day a week I dedicate to dog training and volunteering with Archie the therapy dog. Dog training helps me grow, and even on days where the training doesn’t go very well, I’ve still spent

Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - Why it's Good to be Wrong

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2024/04/22

Recently, I was mentoring someone on Siberian Huskies. Her goal is to be able to judge them at dog shows, and a prerequisite is mentoring from several long-time owners. We were at a dog show and others were part of the circle of conversation as I started talking about the precaudal spot on the tail. As I relayed the information I was taught and have believed to be true for decades, someone chimed in and gently corrected me. How would you have felt, and how would you have handled that? The
