Sure there are many things to fear. There’s no denying that we live in uncertain times, it’s how we interpret our fear, the power we give to it, the weight we assign to it, that determines how it affects us. We have the power to dial it down in our own minds and interpret it in a way that serves us rather than crushes us. Here are 3 ways to deal with fear, that build on each other.  Let’s go!

1. Accept Your Fear

The first thing to do is notice what it is...

In times of tumultuous challenges, we can either be swept up by the tides or learn how to ride the waves.  I am blessed with amazing kids who are learning these very same things (as are most of us!)  Yesterday I received calls from two of them: one who had seen a father taken from his family while his wife and daughter were helplessly sobbing.  Another spoke of internal alarms going off about the future of the postal system and what that could imply....

You have answers inside yourself for questions you may not have even yet asked.

It can be expressed as anxiety – there is enough of that around, and it can also be directed to make things better. If there was one simple thing that you could do to effect positive change...

If you've ever gotten tired of tracking the latest superfood or exercise fad, and longed for something more aligned with daily living, then Marta Saraska, science journalist published in the Washington Post, Scientific American, the Atlantic, Discover and author of "Growing Young" is speaking your language. In a recent conversation, she shares how friendship, optimism, and kindness can help you live to 100. Sound good?

Here are some takeaways:

Optimism can prolong life by as much...

Overwhelm has been described as 20-foot wave crashing into you. We all have those moments when it all gets to be too much. Too much pressure, too much intensity of anger, sadness, fear, or worry can all provoke either an outburst, a state of paralysis, or even panic.  Waves are never static though, they come and go. What if you had more ways to surf the wave, and bring you back to yourself? Here are some reminders that you CAN take agency in your life....

I'm grateful that my family and I were able to do this; many don't have the opportunity. One moment is very close to me; it was an instant when she opened her eyes and was very present. This gift...

Sitting around the house in closed quarters can have its pressure cooker moments. It’s really good to plan in advance for when those moments arise, and have some go-to strategies at the ready whenever you may need them. Today, I want to give you 5 ways to handle whatever comes your way, specifically in the form of 5 questions you can ask yourself:
