Beliefs and thoughts have been plaguing us for 1000s of years.  They stop us from doing things we want to do; they distract us from the good in our lives and can make us believe the craziest things. 

Is there a solution?  Yes.

But it’s going to take some practice.

"The jig is up when you get wise to the tricks of your mind.”  – Mark J. Silverman

Today on Mastering Midlife:

  • Realize that the mind is “a drunk monkey stung by a scorpion”
  • If you had a friend who talked to you like your head does, you’d get a restraining order
  • Michael Singer “The Untethered Soul”
  • Evolution kept us alive by scaring us. It’s not as useful in the modern world
  • Take a deep breath, interrupt the familiar pattern, get out of your head and into your body

Are you a busy, overwhelmed business leader?

Through my work as an author and executive coach, I’ve discovered the 10 lies we all tell ourselves that keep us away from true productivity and creativity. 

If constant firefighting is part of your daily grind, I have a free gift for you.  My “10 Uncomfortable Truths” about overwhelm, from “Only 10s, Confront Your To-Do List – Transform Your Life.”
