The Principal of Principle

Spoiler alert, I’m about the quote the movie “Rio.” I have children – THAT’S why I’ve seen the movie, so…just shhh. There’s a great song in the movie (incidentally sung by Jemaine Clement, one of my faves), and I love this line from it: Like an abandoned school I have no principle. This post is […]

Fine, let’s talk food.

Quick note: As you know, I’m on a social media vacation, and let’s just say I’m loving the landscape. But, let’s face it, I’ve now got even less ability to put the word out about my work, so…here’s a quick ask: please forward these posts, share my YouTube channel, recommend my books to any like-minded folks […]

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE

No, the title is not a Star Trek reference. This post is about a modern-world reality that is bringing us down. Side-note: I am officially on a social media vacation.

WE’RE LIVING IN A HIT SONG WORLD.

I am feeling a bit restless. Here’s what about: My work and, well, social media…mostly frickin’ social media. Here’s why, and yes, I know what I’m about to write makes me sound a tad old.

THE HARD TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE HARD TRUTH

When people adopt my Small Steps approach, they notice when they’re taking on too much or too little. And more importantly, when they do, they know they have the power to adjust and adapt to ensure that new, healthy behaviors stick around long enough to become habits. However… In adopting this approach, people begin to […]

ELITE, SCHMELITE

With just a couple clicks we are bombarded with lists. Like… Top ten super foods Top 5 anti-inflammatory foods Top 7 best yoga poses Top 10 lists of top 10 best berries You get the gist of the list. But let’s not forget the ‘optimals’: The perfect proportion of carbohydrate to protein that one should […]

EARN YOUR KEEP

There is a difference between earning what you want and being handed what you want. When you earn it, you value it. When you earn it, you’re a happier person for having earned it. And yet, despite understanding this fact, most of us are still heavily drawn to quick fixes – shortcuts that promise us […]
