Posted in Gratitude

Man cannot stand a meaningless life. Carl Jung Viktor Frankl’s book, “Man’s Search For Meaning,” focuses on the importance of finding a sense of purpose in life, no matter how heinous your external circumstances. The first half explores different ways his fellow prisoners reacted to incarceration at Auschwitz, while the second part details Logotherapy, the […]

God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it’s me. Variation of an excerpt from “The Serenity Prayer” Reinhold Neibuhr People are who they are and they will show you who they are. To be mad at them […]

Turn Your Obstacles Into Opportunities

By Nicole Urdang | June 20, 2012
Posted in Inner work

One of my favorite yoga teachers, David Magone, talks of turning obstacles into opportunities. It’s uncanny how you don’t really have to wait to get psyched to deal with something because an obstacle is a motivator in and of itself. That very roadblock will jump start change and push you into learning new skills and […]

Intuition: Learning To Trust Your Inner Guidance

By Nicole Urdang | June 10, 2012

“You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you’ll discover will be wonderful.

Create The Life You Want

Carl Sagan What makes asking the questions and working on their answers such a courageous act is its potential to shatter our status quo. Yet, it is precisely by plumbing our depths that we move towards greater […]

You Are Just a Visitor

By Nicole Urdang | March 19, 2012
Posted in Inner work

If you are a yogi, Buddhist, or have simply read some chapters on this site, you are probably familiar with the concepts of mindfulness and witness consciousness. While both support an open awareness of what is, any techniques that help root you in the present will bolster your equanimity and strengthen your resilience. By thinking […]

Depression: How To distinguish depression from sadness

By Nicole Urdang | February 29, 2012
Posted in Depression

I have always found the easiest way to distinguish sadness from depression is to ask yourself if your overwhelmingly negative, hopeless feelings penetrate every cell of your body. Say yes, and you are probably depressed. It is natural to think there is a continuum going from sadness to depression, but, actually, there is one continuum […]

Posted in Abandonment

If you felt abandoned as a child, if you feel abandoned now, the key to reclaiming your wholeness is to commit to being there for yourself in a loving, compassionate way right this minute. Of course, that can be highly challenging, as old habits die hard. Feelings of isolation and worthlessness may have become familiar […]

Calming the Emotional Chaos of Grief

By Nicole Urdang | January 31, 2012
Posted in Grief

A death, divorce, illness, sudden unemployment, or any major loss, creates chaos in your life. This emotional fracturing, as well as the practical aftershocks of dealing with estates, lawyers, housing, finances, doctors, etc., often yields intense feelings that can be overwhelming.
