After writing my blog last week I was amazed how many people read and responded to it. I normally get 5 or 6 people reading my blogs. But I suppose it resonated for people. Why am I writing another blog so soon about my weight loss journey? Not much could have changed in just aContinue reading “Another Blog About Weight Loss”

Leading a values based life (connecting with the present)
Slowing our thinking As I mentioned in the previously the neocortex is never going to act faster than the reptilian and mammalian brains. They are designed to react to keep us safe.

Reflections
I was up ridiculously early this morning. At 5:30am I was laying in bed wide awake, with the all the activity of the past week playing out in my head.
