“The next step in human evolution is not inevitable, but for the first time in the history of the planet, it can be a conscious choice.” Eckart Tolle Some of this isn’t our fault. The fact that we make quick short-cut decisions. The fact that we create tribes, pitting one group against the other? The truth is …
Is there a habit you are trying to break or a goal you are trying to work towards? But you keep finding yourself back at square one? There’s a reason for that. Your body is actually very resistant to change and designed to maintain the status quo. It’s a principal called homeostasis. Homeowhat? Homeostasis is …
I’ll be the first to admit it. Compared to food, or water or shelter, coaching doesn’t seem essential. Truthfully it doesn’t take care of the basic needs that keep us physically alive, those lower down on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs– the things we would literally die without.
