At “Enough” We Share

At some point while venturing through our individual journeys, we realize that others really can’t give us everything we think we want. When this realization dawns on us, the temptation arises to abandon that person (or situation) in search of something or someone different. The problem begins because we think  that another’s inability to fulfill […]

It’s No Wonder…

It’s not surprising that  as a culture we deny that everyday we are alive, we’re all getting older. Pick up a thesaurus and you’ll see that some of the synonyms for old are: ancient, decrepit, tired, fossil, broken down, depilated, enfeebled, exhausted, antiquated, absolute, archaic and geriatric. These words don’t describe how I feel nor […]

Reaction

The dictionary defines reaction as: 1) an action performed or a feeling experienced in response to a situation or event; 2) a persons ability to respond physically and mentally to external stimuli; 3) an adverse physiological response to a substance that has been breathed in, ingested or touched. Overall in daily life, I’d define most […]

Turn the Page

Whether it’s Bob Seger’s original song or Metallica’s cover, whenever “Turn the Page” comes on the radio, my mood gets infinitely better…while painfully to the ears of others, I start singing along 😉 In life, there always comes a time, sometimes many times, when you have to choose between turning the page or closing the […]

Space Still Available

Stop Aging? I don’t think so. Wrong message. In fact, I’m here to boldly declare that this is not what I’m trying to do at all. Slow the biological impact of aging factors, yes. Stay as healthy as possible, yes. Stay metabolically and mentally strong, absolutely. Stop all the wisdom that accrues from daily experiences […]

Comparison, Imperfections, Yesterday and Today

Like snowflakes, we are all beautiful in our own ways. A work of art can be perfect while filled with imperfections. Yet, what is imperfection when speaking about works of art, like humans?  If we are all one-of-a-kind, with no two of us the same, how can imperfection exist? How can a one-and-only be imperfect? […]

Stepping Out to Find New Comfort Zones

So much of our lives are routine-oriented. The “patterns” including all that’s involved in raising children, working and other responsibilities typically have us set in pattern-mode. Psychologists believe that patterns tend to minimize stress. Now, I don’t think anyone is claiming that kids or work are stressless—but rather knowing there’s a routine to the day […]

Worrying About the Future

Do you ever find yourself worrying about what the future holds? At any age, worrying about tomorrow steals the joy from today. Whenever I find myself starting to worry I remind myself of two things: 1) When I am thinking, I’m not fully in the present and therefore 2) Whatever I am worrying about, is […]

The Garden in Your Head

Your mind is like a garden. Consider a plant for a moment. We admire the green foliage and colorful flowers. Yet, what we don’t see is more important: The roots that go deep into the soil to make the beautiful plant possible. Our thoughts are like seeds. We have to be careful with what we […]

Silver Entrepreneurs & Business

While 10,000 people reach retirement age every day, 45% of the Silver Disobedience™ population consider themselves to be entrepreneurial. This entrepreneurial group is equally divided between men and women. Starting a business or second career later in life is not uncommon. Also, those who do are in good company, joining folks like Colonel Sanders of […]

  • The best way to breathe to de-stress is this: 
First, take a 2-3 solid deep breaths and let them out.
Then, start counting even breaths in and even breaths out. For example: IN 2, 3, 4, 5.  Out 2, 3, 4, 5.  IN 2, 3, 4, 5.  Out 2, 3, 4, 5. IN 2, 3, 4, 5.  Out 2, 3, 4, 5. 
The reason we count our breaths when stressed is because it occupies our thoughts because we don’t want our thoughts to be over-occupying our mind. ✨

En Español
