i'm famous for starting over

sunday, i'll start my fourth cross-country drive in 11 months. it's a mixed bag. i love driving - i hate the risk involved in all the driving. i love being alone in my car - i hate the morning of day two with the 900 mile days not being half over yet. i love sleeping in my Honda Fit - i hate»

back to the program

Oh, and... I've been back to Tools many times over the past seven months of absence. I kept not wanting to do the day that I'm on in the ToolBox. First thing I did when I logged in today was click the FINISHED! button. Can't let one frustrating exercise stop me. Have others felt the need»

what a difference 7 months can make

I've stopped waiting around for Spain to approve my resident visa. In fact, they did approve it, but I decided that I did not really want to make the move to Spain after all. It was a most difficult decision to make; I'd spent 8 years planning, re-educating, saving and focusing on moving to »

do nothing as usual

i've taken the recommendation to heart. 1. stopped going to cafes to sit for hours in front of my computer. as magical as the cafe culture is, i was also finding it stunting. unfortunately, that's meant only minimal internet access from my phone.2. i had a meeting with a headhunter and a job»

my own pace

I'm still working through the actual days at a snail-like pace and loving it. I'm amazed about how many times I think "i would have done that differently *before*" or, "wow. i can't believe i reacted that way." All these little new ways of seeing are pivoting my actio»

one day in three

as i progress through tools, i've been taking longer to finish a single TOOLS Day. i'm taking more time for the concepts to sink in and notice how i reflect back on a single concept for days at a time. also, some of the seemingly small changes that i've been making are creatin»

giving it a try again

back 25 years ago when i was a gymnast, i was taught to visualize myself doing moves and entire routines. i wasn't such a successful gymnast - too tall and never figured out how to put the fear aside. i don't think my success or failure with using visualizing as a tool had anything to do wit»

the mind game

i've started to use one of the brain retraining techniques while out climbing. mostly, it goes like this: during the hike in, there's a sketch part that would be less frightening if i had a rope tied to me, but that's just not going to happen. after all, this is just the approach to the »

so, it's my birthday

I set out this week to do one module of the toolBox each day. I fell short by one day. I had almost finished the day, but felt that I hadn't paid attention and so would let it roll over to the next day and start again. Our climbing and training plans got waylayed by snow(!), rain, and injur»
