Do you beat yourself up every time you eat what you shouldn't, don't exercise, don't take your medication on time, blame yourself for your friend's problems? In this video I talk about how this is counter-productive. It just doesn't help--anything. Do you beat yourself up? Have you broken the habit of doing so? What have been the results?
Hello! Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. We had a game night with friends Saturday and it was a lot of fun. It's always fun to get together with our friends. We played Sequence. That's a fun game that we all enjoy. We also played a bit of a trivia game and charades as well. Games are a great way to bond, relax and have lots of fun with friends. We started our game night a few years ago and we're glad we did. Just spread the word to your friends that you'd like to start a game night, say, once a week or once a month or even a few times a year, and see what kind of response you get. We have had one person up to, I think, 12 or 15 attend our game nights! It's your game night: you decide on the number of people you want to join in. Okay, now on to today's video. In it, I talk about changing friendships and how to handle them. Change is natural and healthy. It's best to handle such change with understanding and calm. Of course, if you truly want particular friends who have distanced themselves to be a part of your life again, you need to be honest and forthright. Let them know you care about them and would like to spend more time together again. Find out if there are any misunderstandings that caused them to back off in the first place, clear the air, and hopefully rekindle that friendship. Have you had friends distance themselves from you? If so, what did you do about it? How did it make you feel? I'd love your feedback. Take care.
Hi! Back with another vlog post. This time I'm talking about when old friends and new friends don't like each other. I cover some reasons why this may be so such as jealousy, distrust, and discrimination. I also talk about what to do the remedy the situation including talking privately with each friend to clear the air, and seeing if you can find similar interests that old and new friends have in common.
It's tough when old and new friends don't get along. It can cause lots of stress. But there are ways to solve the problem.
Have you experienced this problem? If so, what did you do about it? Do you have any other ideas on how to remedy the situation? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks.
Hello! Here is my latest vlog post on toxic friends. There are a lot of signs of toxicity in friendship including abuse, lying, having only one-sided conversations, excessive drinking, and trying to get you to do things that go against your values. It is up to you to decide whether to give such a friend a second...or third or fourth...chance or say goodbye. It is important to watch for these and other signs of toxicity and try to remedy the situation before it causes you physical pain, stress, and illness.
Do you have, or have you had, toxic friends? How have you dealt with the situations you've been in with such friends? Are they still your friends, or have you moved on? Let me know in the comments, or you can email me.
I also want to let you know that I'm now posting a blog post on Mondays and a vlog post on Wednesdays. I have been quite busy lately, so I stopped blogging on Fridays for now, until my Identity perception program is finished, sometime in the next month or so. Take care, and I'll catch you back here again on Monday. Have a great weekend!
Hi! I hope you're having a great Wednesday. Today's vlog focuses on fitness and chronic health issues. I discuss how to get started, the importance of talking with your doctor or medical team before starting a fitness program, and how to advance your fitness program to get better results. I hope you find this video helpful. Exercise is so important to our well-being. Whether you use a chair, walking aids, or you walk without aid, there are exercises you can do to get and keep fit. I'm a former certified personal trainer. I gave up my certification recently, but I still know a thing or two about fitness. So if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. If I can't help you, I can refer you to other professionals who might be able to answer your questions for thoroughly. Good luck with your fitness program and have fun!
