A lot of people are landing on my website because of few blogs I wrote years ago, on releasing the suppressed anger. But to read a blog is one thing. To do the work is another. Anger is a powerful emotion. Interestingly, it often erupts because we feel powerless. Here is what we did with […]
Continue readingExhausting Thinking vs Quality Thinking [mind management]
It was 9:30 am and I needed a break. I was already tired and yet… I haven’t done anything yet. Except for lots of thinking. I know that the brain takes 20% of our whole energy, when working hard, but I was so mentally tired I really needed to take a look at WHAT was […]
Continue readingIt’s not about your lack of willpower
It’s not about willpower. It really isn’t… It’s about your awareness of what you do or don’t do. It’s about your ability to change the state of mind. About knowing what, when, and why to eat. Knowing how to plan. It’s really hard: to use willpower when you don’t know what to eat. when you […]

Everyone’s story is unique. Everyone has a different story to tell when they arrive at the point when:“This (excess fat) has to go. I’m the real me when I’m thinner. I am ready to prove I can accomplish that.” I have been thinking about every person that coached so far with me… at what point […]

…I’m walking the airport back and forth. No signs. Instructed by the airport workers, where to go, I still go back and forth, depending on who I talk to. (it’s not a dream, it’s the Schiphole) …I’m staring at a wordpress plug-in. I’m pretty sure there is steam coming from my ears from my overworked […]

What happens when the student is ready, but greedy? Obsessed with getting his hands on the secret? The Master, though generous, cannot give it away.

Continue readingA THOUGHT that will nip in the bud overspending and overeating
Many years ago I started using this THOUGHT, when I tried to change my shopping habits. And then sugar eating habits.
