These are general posts about Belief Energy and its community.
Can you remember a time you avoided something painful? Did avoiding it serve you? Why/How? Something tells me almost one hundred percent of folks reading this post have. I know I have. I’ve side-stepped many challenging scenarios in my life. Avoidance shows up in physical form during my trail-running hobby all the time. In fact, […]
In what areas of your life do you feel you have or you are enough? Like many folks, I work my ass off. I also parent and partner my ass off, exercise…, share…, travel…, learn…, explore…, journal…, meditate…, heal…, laugh…, etc my ass off. I even relax my ass off (ever so rarely). But, why? […]
Ever make excuses or over-complicate the process of doing healthy things (like exercise) to the point of not doing them? I’ve been doing that lately… It’s become my excuse to not move my body (aka BEAM- Believe Energy & Motion… aka run on trails) as much as I’d like to. This morning I ignored my […]
Do you ever experience pain when doing your favorite hobby? How do you handle it? My hobby is trail running. I enjoy short or very long runs in the redwoods and hills north of San Francisco. Every time I run I experience bliss and release and at least some physical pain. For example, yesterday morning […]
This list found my journal pages on a flight this week. I hope it contributes to your version of optimal living (aka BEing). 1. Do the stuff that lights you up the most. 2. Life is fluid. Flow with it. Be fluid. 3. The more you notice the chain of nows the better. This breath… […]
What is BElossoming in your life (at home or work) right now? The dictionary I just opened to define “blossom” mentioned a “peak period of development”. So I’ll ask again [sans the clever use of BE in the word], what is blossoming in your life right now? I’m experiencing and observing growth and blossom in […]
What women have inspired you or contributed to your version of optimal living (BEing)? I’m fortunate in this area: I was raised by two inspiring women. I’m raising an inspiring young woman. I’m dating an inspiring woman. I’m constantly surrounded by exceptional female BEings. A year an a half ago (April ’13) I gave a keynote in […]
Did you face challenging circumstances when you were a teen? Many of the teens in this photo face them now. Fortunately, organizations like R.I.S.E. Yoga for Youth are stepping in to help. R.I.S.E brings yoga and wellness education to needy schools in the San FranciscoBay Area, to serve 1,000 teens. My family and I are helping […]
What impact does change have on you? How does finishing something and starting something new make you feel? For some, change is the scariest thing in life. It makes sense to me. Our brains work hard to keep us free from pain and threat. When is threat more present than in life’s transitions? Predictability and repetition […]
What is your self-care approach? Life is hard to navigate sometimes, especially if you lean into life and your chosen mission fully with your head AND heart. Fully BEing (living your optimal life), especially when you’re in or emerging from life challenges, is hard for everyone. Are you transformed or victimized by life’s rough patches? […]
What do I deserve? I deserve everything. What do I need? I already have it. But, now for the harder question…What do I choose? I visit this challenging inquiry in all my core4 BEing aspects as often as possible. Please do yourself a favor and answer these four questions. What- Soul (internal values) do I choose? […]
Do you let negativity, fear or insecurity take hold? Inner tightening from all these threats causes hardship for most of us. That said, I’m committed to allowing anything that causes me to tighten or withdraw from myself (my soul) to drop by at anytime, but I refuse to give it a home in my psyche. […]
