If you could do just one thing to change your life and improve your odds for happiness, productivity and success, my recommendation would be to give up blame and take full personal responsibility for the results in your life. Whenever we become victims of circumstances, blaming others for our problems, we lose all power to create our life the way we want it. But taking responsibility for whatever’s going on empowers us to change it. In order to move forward powerfully, you need to let go of blame and shame (“They’re to blame” and “Ain’t that a shame!”). The blame shame game has never contributed to anyone’s success. Whenever I catch myself whining about my results, I am reminded of the lyrics of the Eagles’ song “Get over it!”nnI turn on the tube, what do I see?nA whole lot of people cryin’ “Don’t blame me!”nThey point their crooked little fingers at everybody else,nSpend all their time feeling sorry for themselves,nVictims of this, victims of that –nYour Momma’s too thin and your Daddy’s too fat. It’s like goin’ to confession every time I hear you speak.nYou’re making the most of your losin’ streak.nSome call it sick. I call it weak. You drag it around like a ball and chain.nYou wallow in the guilt. You wallow in the pain.nYou wear it like a badge. You wear it like a crown.nGot your mind in the gutter, you’re wearin’ everybody down.nYou’re bitchin’ ‘bout the present and blamin’ it on the past.nI’d like to find your inner child and kick its little ass. Get over it! Get over it!nAll this bitchin’, moanin’ and pitching a fit.nGet over it! Get over it! Get over it!

Give Yourself a Great Start To The New Year

Looking ahead to the New Year and how you expect it to unfold, can be tempting to get absorbed in whatever is currently trending, or whatever is “doom-ing and gloom-ing” at the moment. After all, there’s plenty going on in the world, in celebrity lives, in the constant push of the media, to keep one engaged or preoccupied. Which is great, if such brings you joy. But if, on the contrary, you find you are living someone else’s life via trending, or depressed and distressed by

“Weight-Train” Your Brain

I have a new cell phone. I didn’t want a new cell phone; I was perfectly happy with my 2020 cell phone, but it wasn’t happy with me. Its connector charging port was ailing. Failing, actually, the service tech told me. And besides, it was an old phone, what did I expect? Old? This to a woman who is more than content, read “thrilled,” to wear outdated fashions just because she likes them. And would willingly keep computers way past their supposed “shelf life.” Sigh. OK, fine,
