Studies show that we spend close to half of our waking hours unconsciously running in autopilot mode. Autopilot mode is when we are lost in our thoughts and narratives. We get stuck in a loop of problem solving, ruminating, worrying, thinking and planning that can leave us feeling unhappy and anxious. Driving a vehicle is
I received a cool birthday present in being selected as one of the contributors to a new book released this week on Amazon, The Art of Being Here and Now – an introduction to being present. The book’s mission is to inspire about the science, art and practice of mindfulness. I contributed a short autobiographical
Life is a gift. A temporarily gift however that passes by very quickly if you don’t pay attention. In any given moment, we have two options in life, step into growth or step back into safety. Safety is comfortable and familiar but creates more of the same experience and results. Somewhere along my own journey

At the time, It didn’t make a lot of sense to me but eventually I began to understand the importance of returning to curiosity and questioning years of programming.

The noise of health & fitness experts and products saturating the marketplace is overwhelming. While Midlife Rewire is focused on training & taming the mind, we cannot discount the massive importance of moving the body temple everyday. Without optimal physical health, we have nothing at all. Weight training has a long list of benefits outside
The body’s primitive survival response, Fight or Flight once protected us from the proverbial Saber Tooth Tiger that lurked around every corner. In modern society, this same response is commonly triggered by excessive stress. Road rage is a perfect and common example. As a former world class road-rager, I can certainly relate! There is a
On the topic of meditation, many people understand the benefits but claim to be too busy or find it too difficult to sit still.
