Since I’m talking a lot about boundaries lately, I thought I’d republish the one I taped last summer where I describe an exercise I learned in the psych ward (how to visualize your boundaries) and give you an example of the types of things I’m saying “no” to now. Yah! Progress! To view my YouTube…

Real Simple has a good, practical article on how to say “no.” Not that I intend to follow any of the advice. But Duke Robinson, author of “Too Nice for Your Own Good” lays out a few awkward situations, and how you can break free of getting stuck doing something, or paying for something you…

I’m a natural at guilt, especially during Lent. Come on! This is my time of year! An invitation to wallow on absolutely everything I’m failing at. Thus, anytime (and especially during Lent!) I can get some help on tackling this bad boy, I take it. John Grohol of Psych Central has five really good and…

On Mindful Monday, my readers and I practice the art of pausing, TRYING to be still, or considering, ever so briefly, the big picture.

I think laughing yoga would be the kind that I just might stick with. As I wrote in my post “9 Ways Humor Heals,” laughter does lead to better health. “Mindfulness and Psychotherapy” blogger Elisha Goldstein introduces his readers to laughing yoga. He writes: Dr. Madan Kataria tells us that it doesn’t make a difference…

Here’s a piece of news that makes me feel relieved and apprehensive at the same time (a typical bipolar response, right?). According to Rick Nauert, Senior News Editor for Pysch Central: A new study finds formerly depressed women show patterns of brain activity when they are criticized by their mothers that are distinctly different from…

Fresh Living blogger Holly Lebowitz Rossi (my editor) runs a wonderful group called “How to Stress Less.” I used to visit quite often, and then I, well, I guess I got too stressed out for it? Maybe I should revisit. Holly’s blog, Fresh Living, is also filled with tips on how to stop stressing. You…
