In Part 1, we went over some of the differences between introverts and extroverts and that most of us are ambiverts, sitting somewhere in the middle of this spectrum or continuum of PERSONALITY TYPES.
In Part 2, we’ll continue to look at the different personality types, and where they get their ENERGY from.
Enjoy the list of famous INTROVERTS and their successes! It may surprise you ……
Read MoreHave you noticed that people often use the terms ‘introvert’ and ‘extrovert’ to imply shyness and nerdiness for introverts and loud and aggressive for extroverts? Neither of these is entirely true, so let’s get to the real definitions and understanding of what this personality spectrum or continuum of:
Introvert…….Ambivert…….Extrovert, really is.
Read MoreYes; you’re seeing that right………..there are many BENEFITS of being alone!
I know that in our society, we’re not encouraged to be alone………for silence, introspection, to hear your intuitive inner voice, to unwind, and be creative.
Learning and adopting some habits and self-care practices can help you to learn and enjoy being happy while on your own. This can include improving your coping skills, discovering what gives you joy, or maybe finding a creative outlet…….

Read MoreLoneliness is NOT the same as being alone. You can be surrounded by people and feel lonely. You can be alone and feel free….and great. As a matter of fact, it’s said that if you can go to a movie or show alone or sit in a café/restaurant by yourself and feel comfortable, then you’ve learned to love yourself.
Congratulations! There’s nothing more important than this…….and knowing that you’ll be in great company every day of your life………………….with YOU!
Read MoreWe all know what negative thought patterns and beliefs are because, to a greater or lesser extent, we humans all experience them, some people more than others.
It’s vital to our emotional, mental, physical and even, spiritual health, to understand why we have them………
Read MoreIn Part 1, we discussed ANT’s or automatic negative thoughts. We call these negative thoughts automatic or default because our neural pathways have been carved out to hold these thoughts, often over years. There is a biological basis to these negative thoughts: safety and survival. These ANTs kept and keep us alert and hypervigilant to danger.
So, we can thank them for protecting us but still learn how to deal with them, so they don’t control or overwhelm our thinking and our lives…..(refer to the previous blog post: part 1).
Let’s go over how to deal with negative thoughts (ANTs) and Cognitive Distortions (CD), so that they don’t affect your mood, relationships and life in a negative way…….
Read MoreWe’ll often return to the subject of trauma in these blog posts; most of us have or will experience it in one way or another. For now, though, this will be the last in this series about: Intergenerational (transgenerational, generational. historic) trauma. There is a lot of research being done in this field….
It helps to look closely and see if you have signs and symptoms of intergenerational trauma. It also helps to get help, when it comes to working through and healing trauma.
Read MoreThis is the second part of a series discussing Intergenerational (transgenerational) trauma. We’ll go over what it is, how it may show up in people’s lives, its effects and how to start the healing process and journey, so that the chain of intergenerational trauma, extending through generations, can be healed and broken.
Read More……Even with intergenerational trauma, there is good. You, usually, become more compassionate and understanding of the suffering of other people and, you may also develop more resilience, a good and helpful quality for life. You can have the most important role of all……to break the chain of this trauma. Emotional healing is possible…and, though it can follow a ‘rollercoaster ride’ path (lots of ups and downs), it can shift your way of thinking and subsequently, your behaviors, actions…..and your destiny.
Read MoreLet’s continue this subject and start with the positive effects of the experience of trauma; we tend to become more compassionate and understanding of others.
Many people who have gone through trauma tend not to speak of it, but speaking about it would help others….to understand. In our society, we don’t always know what to say or how to help. Often, it’s just basic; ask someone to tell you about their trauma, pain, etc. It’s better to ask and listen than to ignore. Just asking if there’s something you could do for them.
Read MoreThese are big and fascinating subjects: Intergenerational or transgenerational trauma and Epigenetics.
These are close to my heart, mind and soul, mostly because my life has been greatly influenced and affected by intergenerational trauma. You may have your own experience with intergenerational trauma…..or know someone who does. So many people and families have been affected by trauma: war, natural disasters, abuse, genocide, and more. It’s important to understand the impact on you and future generations and to, perhaps, even be the one who breaks the cycle.
So, let’s start by explaining these concepts…….
Read MoreIn the last blog post, we discussed indecisiveness and how it can limit and sometimes, stop us from moving forward with the life we’re meant to live.

Read MoreIt’s that time of year again and most of us decide to make our list (written or not) of New Year’s resolutions.
Whether they decide to lose weight, get organized, pay off their debt or something else and despite their best efforts, most folks feel discouraged by their lack of willpower within the first few days of the new year. Most quickly abandon their goals.
