Finding Calm During Anxiety


I get the sense that many of my friends are experiencing anxiety as they evaluate their career and even their choice of profession.

Isolation compounds this.

How can we reclaim the value of sitting across the table in a diner where the "whole person" is present?

It has been my experience that having a mentor helps.

A mentor skillful in listening to the point the other person knows he/she has their best interests at heart.

I sometimes struggle with that as I attempt to quiet my mind...to be fully present.

What has helped is starting the day meditating. Finding a higher being to talk with.

That is what I have been doing the moment I am awake and before I lift my head off the pillow.

My clients are learning to do the same.

Before turning on their phone.

Before turning on their computer.

This frames the entire day in front of us.

It causes one to find the energy to do what is most important...without distraction and disruptive emotions.

How do you find calm?

 Failed Again by Distractions



First is getting my daughter's house painted as her homeowners insurance company put her on notice for risk of rotting bare shingles.

When will parenting end?

Yes, I know: NEVER

But really, I am proud to be a supportive parent.

After all, when I get old and decrepit, it is my daughters who will look after us.
