What Kindness Are You Giving Yourself? Kindness, possibility, and authenticity. These are the focus this week. Kindness shared freely with the world and even those who seemingly don’t deserve it. But, also kindness to yourself. To speak kind words that nudge you out of a shell of regret, failure, and uncertainty. Kindness is the beginning […]

Could it be that your fears are not encapsulated within the rationalizations and intellectualizations you communicate? Could […]

Christmas week and the first full week of school break. A time of reflection. A week of investment and preparation for the coming new year. As my children get older and I gain wisdom, I consider what I give and what it makes possible. Not just in this season, but throughout my life. I encourage […]

Encouragement this Monday comes from the mind, listening, authenticity, and self-talk. It is a reminder to seek relationships that feed your progress. Even 15-minutes per week in conversation with someone who believes in you can change your life. Twenty minutes per week working WITH someone who counts you as a partner can change the lives […]

On its surface, Suffering does not seem like a very motivating word. But, I have never been accused of being a surface thinker. What struck me this week was the connection between suffering and action expressed in one quote attributed to none other than Napolean Bonaparte. Your motivation this week: If you don’t want suffering. […]

This week, we are fresh off the joy and gratefulness of Thanksgiving. Perusing my twitter feed, I noticed a theme of love that fits the season. But, love fits every season. It reminds me to focus on what really matters. The goal in all this is to love and be loved. To honestly, authentically, unconditionally […]

This week is dedicated to you. Life often provides challenges that highlight character. It is also true that the navigation through life IS character. Choice is character. This week, I was struck by tweets that supported sustainable choice behavior. Not only purpose and intentionality, but sustainable reactions to what life brings to you. 1. I […]

Potential clients often say to me, “Dr. Wright, I’m just going to need you to keep me motivated.” “That’s impossible,” I exclaim. “The only person capable of motivating you is YOU.” It’s a truth that defies what has been taught in common circles, but it has not been ignored by behavioral science.
