Dear Adult Self (fill in your name), Hi, it’s me… your 12 year old self. Remember me? I know you’re super busy and all but I’m the one who used to run til my lungs were on fire when we played tag down at the field. Remember me? I used to throw my whole heart… Continue reading…
A 2000 year old tree. I stood at its foot, looked up and gawked. Literally. 2,000 years old, 300 feet tall and 2 million pounds. Not too shabby. Giant Sequoias—whole groves of them. They grow the equivalent of a full 60ft tree every year. Some of them have bark that’s 30 feet thick. And that’s… Continue reading…
The alarm hasn’t even gone off yet and already here it goes—your brain that is. It’s already in overdrive and it’s not even 6! Analyzing… criticizing… evaluating… commenting… debating… OMG, stop already! Or don’t you love those times when you’re just completely exhausted; you’ve waited all day long to crawl into bed, you’ve been savoring… Continue reading…
We all grow up with so many plans and schemes–ideas that delight us down to the tips of our toes. So many dreams. Seriously! Ask any group of 7 year olds and you’ll get an ear full–hopes and dreams for what’s right around the corner, hopes and dreams about what’s going to show up at… Continue reading…
It’s overstated. It borders on cliché. Okay, if I’m to state it honestly, it has absolutely become cliché. But the truth of this cliché and its potential to bring us exponential happiness can’t be denied—life is precious. Your life is something to be savored. It’s delicious to the last drop—if you make it so, that… Continue reading…
“You should be ashamed of yourself.” Shame is a deep-seated, ingrained emotion that was cultivated for many of us very early on in our lives. It is a debilitating emotion and one that we tend to feed rather than starve. A bit like a snowball turning into a full fledged avalanche. Interestingly when I did… Continue reading…
If you want more happiness, then you’ve got to get hooked…. What you focus on grows. Period. End of story. So seriously, what are you focusing on? What do you spend most of your time thinking about? Do those thoughts leave you feeling energized? Happy? Excited? Goofy high on life? Yes? Then you’re all set,… Continue reading…
It happens before we even realize it’s happening. It happens right below our conscious awareness. And before we know it we’re off track–and not the “good, fun, adventure of a life time” kind of off track.
What are you eating?—psychologically that is. Are there more yesses than nos? Are there more compliments than criticisms? More cheers than jeers? How you talk to yourself matters—a lot. It’s your call. Just a thought. © 2013 Rhégina Sinozich
There’s no secret about it—people who consistently feel good emotions have lives that feel a heck of a lot better than people who consistently feel “bad” emotions. Some say “life isn’t fair”, “you’re dealt the hand you’re dealt” and so on. While there is some truth to those statements, it is also true that we… Continue reading…
I DO THINGS
A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY
I’m not “just” a therapist who focuses on the impact your past has on your present, or “just” a coach who focuses on your present and future.
My holistic approach weaves coaching, therapy and positive psychology (the science of happiness) together for maximum impact, so you can start feeling real happiness now, even as you’re clearing out the negative issues and traumas that hold you back.
Whether you need a sounding board or an impartial view, help breaking out of entrenched habits that aren’t serving you anymore, or even deep healing around childhood trauma or some other spiritual, psychological and/or emotional wounding, you’re in the right place.
