TIP for TUESDAY

Tapping, also known as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), is a simple tool that combines gentle tapping on acupressure points with mindful awareness of what you’re feeling. The acupressure points used most often are on the face around the eyes, under the nose, and on the chin. There are also points on the collarbone, under the arm and on top of the head. It may look a little unusual at first, but it’s incredibly easy to learn and can become a powerful way to calm your nervous

When it comes to working on our goals or doing something challenging we often say: “I’m bored.” But sometimes boredom isn’t actually boredom. True boredom happens when a task is under-stimulating. Repetitive tasks like data entry, filing paperwork, or organizing spreadsheets can leave the brain craving novelty and challenge.

The Sneaky Setup The inner critic isn’t always loud and shaming at the

The phrase “get back on track” comes from the world of railroads—specifically during the rise of systems like the Transcontinental Railroad. When a train slipped off its rails, everything came to a halt. Progress stopped. But the goal wasn’t to scrap the journey—it was to carefully, steadily guide the train back onto the track so it could keep moving forward. That image is a helpful one when life pulls us out of our routines. Maybe your mornings have gotten rushed. Maybe your

I used to think overcoming meant pushing harder, figuring it out faster, or finally “getting it right.” But during my Master Coach Certification, I learned something entirely different: Acceptance is what actually makes growth possible. Each week, I was introduced to new concepts—powerful, nuanced, and often overwhelming. I wanted to grasp them quickly, to embody them with ease. Instead, I found myself stuck. There were moments when the overwhelm felt so intense that I would
