Resistance is lurking every where! And just when you think you’ve conquered it in one place, it pops up and wrecks havoc in another place. I’ve been patting myself on the back for being productive. I’ve been focusing on my daily “frogs” for the last couple of weeks. I thought I had shown Resistance who’s…
I read Robert Cialdini’s book Influence a few years ago. His explanation of “reciprocity” and how it affects our behaviour struck me. We’re all affected and influenced by it. Frequently without realizing it. And once you see it, it’s hard to unsee it. What is reciprocity? Reciprocity is when we do something or give something…
How long will it be before things get back to normal, after things get back to normal? I mean, when everyone gets vaccinated… Or at least when enough people get vaccinated… and the world leaders to give us the all clear sign… How long will it be before we get back to pre-2020 behaviours? Will…
This was a productive week for me. I’m surprised. I accomplished many things that have been on my to do list for weeks. How did I manage this great feat? Simple. I stopped thinking so much. Don’t get me wrong. Thinking is important. More people should do it. But I think too much. I suspect…
Since November, I’ve been using a secret weapon to edit my blog posts. It’s made my writing tighter and easier to read. It’s available 24/7. And it’s free! It’s called The Hemingway Editor.

I’ve blogged in fits and starts over the years. And the subjects of my posts have ranged all over the place. There was my “year of living…
I’ve used affirmations for years. I think that’s one of the reasons the Miracle Morning and the SAVERS were so easy for me to adopt. Sometimes I use wishful affirmations where you make a statement that you hope will some day be true. Like “I have an abundance of wealth” or “I pay all my…
It’s been over two years since I started doing the Miracle Morning. I’m still not crazy about the name. But I can’t deny the effectiveness of Hal Elrod’s idea: Get up early and start doing your Life SAVERS. Silence/Meditation Affirmations Visualization Exercise Reading Scripting/Journaling I’m still doing the MM every day. Or mostly every day. …
My weight crept up in March. My average weight was 189.2lbs — an increase of 0.5lb over February’s average. Although, I was a little disappointed, I have to look at it in perspective. It was only half a pound… Instead of beating myself up, I looked closer at my plan. Last month, I decided to…
I turned 58 a few weeks ago. I was a bit late to the Pandemic Birthday Celebration Club. But at this point, it looks like we’ve all become members. Another year zoomed by. So what did I learn in my previous year? Last year I obsessed about the Covid pandemic, like everyone else. But there…
