Episode 127 - As Cyclists, With Rights Come Responsibilities

Episode 127 - As Cyclists, With Rights Come Responsibilities

Tragic story today about a pedestrian killed on the Macomb Orchard Trail after he was hit by a cyclist.  As a cyclist for many years, including on that trail, I have seen many examples of high risk behavior by cyclists, and need to admit to taking those risks myself.  The price of harming another person is never worth it.  Cyclists are the first to complain when drivers don't respect our rights on the road, yet we often justify ignoring the rules of the road ourselves.

Episode 126 - Planning Meals Prevents Wasting Money (And Food)

Episode 123 - How Badly Do You Want That Outcome?

Episode 123 - How Badly Do You Want That Outcome?

If you want something to be different in your life, get very clear on what you want the outcome to look like.  Then decide how badly you want that outcome.  Because if you really want it, you'll create and follow the fool-proof steps necessary for insuring the outcome.  If that seems too much or too restrictive to you, be ok that it isn't something that you really want.  Or wake up to the realization that unless you change your actions, your outcome will stay the same.

Episode 109 - Start Becoming Aware Of The Physical Responses That Emotions Generate In Your Body

Our body gives us physical feedback about the emotions we are feeling, and that feedback lasts about 90 seconds.  After that, we start analyzing the physical response in our head.  Try practicing simply being aware of the physical sensation, and allow it to pass.  Then decide how you want to think about it or act in response to it.
