What are you afraid of?

When you were a kid, were you afraid of the dark or the
bogeyman or the monster under the bed?

Maybe you still are afraid of those things! But usually our
fears change as we grow older. We might be afraid of losing
our job or health insurance. We might be afraid of getting
sick. We might be afraid of change in the relationships that
we value.

How can we get rid of these fears?

I feel fortunate that my subscribers provide me with feedback
that is very complimentary.
 
I think most subscribers appreciate my short and concise
broadcasts in a world where we are bombarded by numerous and
often long-winded e-mails. I hope my broadcasts stand out. I
want to remind you all that I always welcome suggestions and
dialogue.

Can you imagine that 8 out of every 10 adults will experience
back pain?

I am sure those of you who suffer with back pain would have no
trouble agreeing with this statistic.

My patients with back pain often tell me they do not recall any
specific injury.  Many just woke up one day with stiffness and
it never went away.

Back pain can certainly be caused by an injury or by underlying
pathology (e.g. arthritis, tumor, disc herniation).  But it is
usually related to a lack of activity and/or poor posture.

Last week I took my nephew to a birthday party.  It was an ice
skating party. Now, I love the heat and it was a hot, beautiful,
sunny afternoon. The cold ice rink was not my idea of a fun
place to spend three hours!

I hope you had a great weekend. And I hope you did something
FUN! Those of us who live on the East Coast are happy to see
warm weather.

The first suggestion of hot weather makes many of us look back
to the summer days of our youth. Maybe you spent your time
working over summer break. Maybe you just hung out with your
friends—around your home, at the beach, at the pool, or
wherever you liked to be.

I decided to take a break this weekend. I plan to relax and not
do any work. I just completed a new e-book entitled “The Ladder
of Success.” http://tinyurl.com/25eospm.

This e-book comes with a CD for your listening
pleasure.

Do you think that you are the way you are just because of what your parents, grandparents and other ancestors handed down to you? Do you think that your fate is determined by the qualities that you have inherited?

Are you a worrier or a warrior?

I have to be honest with you. Until my late 20’s, I was very
much a worrier.

Either this was in my genes or the circumstances I grew up with
resulted in this outlook on life.

Having the opportunity to work with coaching clients and
patients on a daily basis has given me the ability to recognize
patterns, which can be defined as “predictable behaviors.”
Sometimes these patterns prevent my clients and patients from
being healthier, increasing their wealth, striving to be
happier, or achieving whatever other goals they may have.

Would you rather be able to fly or become invisible?

This debate has waged for years.  Many conversations in many
bars, dorm rooms and living rooms have centered on superheroes
and having superpowers.
