Take a Break From Your Creative Anxiety
The following is an essay of shameless name-dropping… Things are not easy for the artists and creatives… On one hand, we are flooded by brilliant ideas, usually in a shower, but we can’t take action on them, because we are covered in soap.

Continue readingYour spiritual beliefs and the concept of “past lives”

Continue readingHow To Practice Gratitude So It Works?
Few weeks ago in my Sunday Vipassana sitting one woman said something that got me thinking about my gratitude practice. (If that is a subject so overdone for you that you get nausea – a la Jean Paul Sartre – hearing about it, I apologize. I feel the same… but this…) Studies have been done. […]

[Is there a cure for procrastination? The reasons. Why it hurts. What’s underneath (and it’s not the lack of strong will) and what CAN we do about it.] I was on the plane from Phoenix to Chicago and I decided to read few chapters of “You are not so smart” by David McRaney from my […]

Why it’s so hard to deal with some problems? What to do with, what seems, unresolvable? I hope that after reading this post, you will have some ideas what to do (or not do) next. When we have a big problem, it’s easy to be blinded, to see only one side of the coin, to […]
Continue readingHow To Use A Spiral.
When solving a problem: “When you choose RESOURCES it is an upward spiral. When you choose OBSTACLES it is a downward spiral. ” In any situation, at any time, we do have both. What is our focus on? (I think I got this from Victoria Crawford, the creator of “The Way of Discovery Path”) Photo: […]

Sometimes we get into the trap of chasing “success” before we even define it. We get so busy, getting “there”, that we don’t have any time to think: where are we actually heading? What exactly is the thing we are making compromises for? And then we wake up in the middle of a nightmare, we […]
