The Key to Creating Pleasure After a Loss - Wellbeing...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2023/10/04

As a child, did you ever have the experience of losing control of your balloon string and watching the balloon sail away from you? I remember vividly the day an especially beautiful helium balloon got away from my little six-year-old hand and soared into the sky until it was too tiny to even see. As I cried, mom redirected my attention to something fun and a lot closer until the sting of losing the balloon was gone, just like the balloon. As an adult, I discovered that the very same

Getting Over the Need for Apologies - Wellbeing...

2023/10/03

Are you waiting for an apology from someone? If so, why? Before you give a knee-jerk reply to that question, ask yourself why the apology matters. Is it because your feelings were hurt? Is it because you were right and they were wrong? Is it because you need some sort of closure? What if I told you that an apology isn’t the answer to any of those questions? Your feelings belong to you, not to anyone else.Examine why you’re giving that other person power over your feelings. Your sense of

The Secret Wrongness of Being Right - Wellbeing...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2023/10/02

Do you work with someone who is stubbornly, doggedly determined to do something, even when that “something” seems unnecessary or maybe even useless? For example, say a vet hospital employee is doing inventory of the prescription drugs, is told to discard any out-of-date drugs without counting them, and counts them anyway. To you, that may seem to be a waste of time and effort, and to the employee it may seem like doing the job the “right” way. Would you be surprised if I told you that both

Surf's Up - Want to Ride? - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny...

2023/10/01

Have you ever stared at a large body of water and were mesmerized by the way the waves come and go? I love salt water and the way it interacts with a sandy shoreline, and when I’m anywhere near a beach, you can bet my toes will be on it. When you stand and watch, the waves are all very similar and yet completely different. They’re all reaching for the sand, maybe getting tall enough as the water’s edge nears, to fall forward in a foamy flourish. Some move faster than others, some stay low

The Astonishing Power of Uncertainty - Wellbeing...

2023/09/30

Have you ever been completely sure of something, so sure you maybe even argued your point with someone? It’s something you’ve believed your whole life, so it felt like beliefs in opposition had to be wrong? Right? And then you learned something that made you question what you believed? Yay, you! You’ve bucked your brain’s tendency to hold on to a belief, and allowed yourself to consider opposing views. Do you know what a wonderful place the world might be if more people could do

How to Turn Self-Doubt into Self-Love - Wellbeing...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2023/09/29

Do you love memes, too? I love how people can distill wisdom into just a few words and create a compelling reminder of something I know and maybe have forgotten to use in daily life. A friend posted a meme recently that said, “May your self-love be stronger than your self-doubt.” What a powerful reminder of how our inner dialogue can either support us or sabotage us. And it’s a potent reminder of something else, too: when we’re beating up on ourselves, we are telling ourselves that no one

Harnessing the Astonishing Power of Learning -...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2023/09/28

When you were a small child, there was so much to learn – you had to learn to roll over, then crawl, then walk, at the same time you were learning language and behavior. Then there were all those years of school, where you learned things that you might need someday, along with other things you never will. Wittgenstein's Ladder, anyone? Now that you’re launched into adulthood, do you still focus on learning? Maybe not as focused as you used to be – do you still make it a point to try to

2023/09/27

Do you ever feel wagalicious? What the heck is wagalicious, you may ask? Have you ever seen a dog so happy that it seemed like their tail was wagging them? Maybe they’re happy to see their favorite human, or happy to get a cookie, or happy to chase a ball? Dogs are masters at being in the present moment – they don’t worry about what happened 5 minutes ago, 5 hours ago, or 5 days ago, and they don’t worry about what might happen in the next 5 minutes, or hours or days. They’re happy now

Are All Eyes Really on You? - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2023/09/26

Did you ever trip in public and reflexively look around to see if anyone saw you? That’s an example of the spotlight effect and is an almost universal reaction. Our brains are hard-wired to care what others think of us, as an evolutionary development that helps us feel connected to those in our immediate families and communities. Some people feel the spotlight effect in circumstances where they’ve done nothing to call attention to themselves, like tripping in public. Those people feel as

Don't Let Anyone Own You - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2023/09/25

Is there someone in your life who’s always telling you to calm down…be quiet…bite your tongue? Unless they have somehow come to own you, do you know you’re allowed to disregard their desires? It doesn’t matter if they’re your boss, your parent, your partner…whoever. They are not the boss of you. When others tell you to change yourself so they can feel better, they’re telling you how you affect them, they are not telling you who you are. You are you, unique and just right. If you want to

Are You Pushing Your Self-Destruct Button? -...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2023/09/24

Are you in the very destructive habit of comparing yourself to others? Maybe you look at another person and think “they’re better-looking than me.” Maybe you struggle with something at work that another co-worker finds easy and think “they’re smarter than me.” Maybe you look at the achievements of your classmates and think “they so much more successful than me.” The moment you compare yourself to someone else, you gut your self-confidence. It doesn’t matter what that comparison is about, it

Are You Allowing or Manipulating? - Wellbeing Wisdom...

2023/09/23

Judgement happens all the time. Sometimes judgement is good, and sometimes it’s not good for you at all. When you think about it at its most basic, when you make a judgement about something, you’re simply making a choice. When you make a choice about what you prefer and what you want to experience in your life, your judgement is right, good, and it serves you. When you point your judgment towards others, trying to get them to conform to your way of thinking and behaving, then your judgment

Giving Yourself Permission to Feel Free - Wellbeing...

2023/09/22

Have you ever felt better after you lost something you thought you wanted? I’m not talking about expensive jewelry, I’m talking about a relationship. When my wasband ended our 30-year marriage, I was shocked to realize that a part of me felt free. When I moved into a small apartment, it felt good to make all the decisions. It felt good to not worry about any of the little things I smoothed over, sucked up, and did just to keep the peace, not because I wanted to do them. Talking to others

How You're Bleeding Yourself Dry and How to Stop It -...

2023/09/21

A small cut on your hand won’t bleed enough to kill you. Several small cuts on your hand and arm won’t bleed enough to kill you. Hundreds of small cuts on your body begin to be quite concerning, and once you get to a thousand cuts that only bleed a drop or two each, that can kill you. Why am I painting this somewhat gruesome picture for you? Inside your head, you cut yourself hundreds of times each day without even knowing it, and what you’re killing is your confidence and ability to lead

Want to Discover Your Sphere of Genius? - Wellbeing...

2023/09/20

What is your sphere of genius? Everyone has at least one thing they’re really good at, really passionate about, and probably pretty humble about. Today, whenever you have some down time, think about what your sphere of genius is. If you get hung up on applying the word “genius” to yourself, that’s OK – choose another one, like talent, or ability, or interest. Write down the things that come easily to you, things you’ve been interested in since childhood, things you would do even if you

Do People Have Power Over You? - Wellbeing Wisdom...

2023/09/19

Is there someone you deal with a lot – maybe a co-worker, maybe a family member – who gets your goat? They make you crazy, and you find them hard to be around, yet you can’t completely avoid them? Maybe you even blame them at least a little bit for how you feel and act when you’re around them? Uh-oh…that’s one step too far, and you might want to examine that blame-game you’re playing. Yes, there are people who are difficult to be around, and that’s on them. Not everyone knows how to act,

Do Choices Feel Like Drag Races or Mazes to You? -...

2023/09/18

Do you sometimes feel like the future is a maze of too many choices? It can be daunting to wake up in the morning, knowing you have a big decision to make. There are rarely just two choices, and when you start comparing other people’s input to decide which one is empirically right, it can feel overwhelming. Here’s an idea – instead of weighing the pros and the cons of each choice, compare how the different choices feel to you. Sit with one choice for a while…pretend that you’ve already made

Navigating the Rocky Roads of Beliefs - Wellbeing...

Tiny Bites of Wagaliciousness ·

2023/09/17

Have you ever thought about the things that you believe? Imagine your beliefs as perfectly unique roadmaps that guide you through life. They’re unique to you because no one else has led the life you’ve led, learned from the mistakes you’ve made, or felt the feelings you’ve felt as you’ve lived. Sometimes, you might find yourself at a crossroads on that roadmap, face-to-face with someone who's been down a completely different path, you both think you're on the right path, and you both

Balancing on the Tightrope of Uncertainty - Wellbeing...

2023/09/16

Do you feel like your life is a wobbly tightrope, making you feel off-balance? And when things get shaky, do you feel a bit peculiar, like you’re trying to balance on that tightrope? Researchers at the University of California Riverside have found that the unease caused by uncertainty is worse than the reality of falling down. Humans are kind of weird like that – we are preferring the fall to the feeling of wondering if we’ll fall. No matter what’s going on in your life, remember it’s just

Are you feeling like that emperor in the childhood story – you know, the one who went through the town naked and no one would tell him the truth? Navigating life is a little bit like trying on different outfits to see which one fits just right. Sometimes, we wonder if we're wearing the perfect ensemble, which could be a relationship, a hometown, or a job. Take a moment to think about your current "outfit" – does it hug you comfortably, or does it feel a bit too tight? Before you rush off to
