If there’s a healing modality that can bring up some polarizing opinions… it’s homeopathy.

Ever heard the optimistic concept that the MORE effort something takes, the LESS likely we are to succeed? 

It's a downer . . . but in many ways it's true. And it's one of the reason why it's so hard to make habits stick when we pile on massive change.

If you're an over-thinker, sometimes your brain can feel like it's filled with endless possibilities, and what-ifs, and worst-case scenarios. 

I call it feeling "full".
