Webinar Time!
If you are suffering with pelvic floor disfunction, there is a lot you can do to facilitate improvement. Check out the webinar I recently did with Dr. Trish Murray from Discover Health Functional Medicine Center. We review the causes of pelvic floor disfunction and simple steps you can take to get back on track. Improve your posture, increase mobility, move and breathe better. Small steps every day lead to long-term success.

Seek fulfillment
Some people seek money, others seek fame, power or accolades. The wisest among us seek fulfillment. No matter what else you achieve, lack of fulfillment leaves you wanting. When you’re fulfilled, anything you lack seems insignificant. If you seek something other than...
Use action to change your state
The fastest way to change your emotional state may be action. Even if you believe you’re stuck in a rut, actions can override how you feel. After Movement for Longevity class last night, a few people commented on how differently they felt. Two people had been feeling...
Moderation
I have a strong tendency to play devil’s advocate. This can be helpful or annoying depending on the situation. Many behaviors that are welcome in moderation become annoying when overused. Since I became conscious of my excesses, I have moderated my devil’s advocacy....
Expand your bubble
It’s easy to live inside a bubble and not realize it. Sometimes it’s because all the people around you like the same things or share the same beliefs. Other times you lack exposure to new things and it distorts your sense of what's out there. Trish and I have an...
Who’s in control?
People sometimes explain away their bad habits or undesirable behaviors as fixed personality traits. "I have rebel tendencies, I only work well under deadlines, the Myers-Briggs personality test says I’m an INTJ…" Abrogating responsibility for your actions (or lack...
Contracting, communication and accumulated combustibles (by Duncan O’Brien)
As I sit in a bricks and mortar tower in central Warsaw, Poland, I’ve taken a moment to reflect on a few of my experiences over lockdown and beyond ... there has got to be some learning in here somewhere! I’ve recently been matched with a new coaching client and have...

Personal growth opportunities (by Trish)
Am I a slow walker, a fast walker or somewhere in between? Well, it depends… When Jim, Roli and I hike together, I am often the slowest. When I walk with other people, however, I am often in the lead. So, in this example, it depends who I compare myself to. If I am on...
Weird advice
One of the headlines in a National Geographic virus update email I received: "Here are the vaccines that you should keep an eye on" Excuse me, I should keep an eye on vaccine development? This seems very odd considering I’m not a scientist or medical professional. I'm...
The path forward
There is a big difference between considering a change and deciding to make a change. For me, considering a change means it’s often on my mind. While I’m on my current path, I often think about the potential future path and where it might lead me. Sometimes this leads...
Be honest and be kind
Sometimes people speak bluntly despite how it makes other people feel. Rationalizing your bluntness by saying that you're being honest is a poor defense. You can be honest and still be considerate of other people’s feelings. People are more likely to appreciate your...
Who is it for? (by Trish)
When Jim first started writing this blog, he wasn’t publishing it yet. He set a goal to write everyday and, in true Jim fashion, he did so. (He is very diligent when he puts his mind to something and creates new habits more efficiently than anyone else I know). He...
