The moral of today is to decide where and how you want your life to be flourishing. Will it be just for you? Will it be with a significant other? For your kid’s? Will it involve where you work? You decide the intricate details. However, remember to choose your language purposefully and positively. No judgment involved. I look forward to your replies to this very loaded thought process.   Brenda Rockward – Author, Life Skills/Life Change Coach     Copyright © 2026  Brenda Rock

In your relationships, what placement do you see yourself? Are you the giver or taker? Think about why you are either and sometimes both. The decision is always yours...however, decide be a choice in the situation or not. Set boundaries.   SUGAR or HONEY?

Refrain from speaking what cannot be. Stop placing the importance of YOU below others. Make where you live, work and play manageable. For everything you start new, keep it kindled and nourished. Remember this: Be kind to your mind.   Copyright © 2026  Brenda Rockward Coaching  LLC   LifeSkillsAuthor.com    All rights reserved Request permission from the owner and author before attempting to use any of the creative content materials.

Align yourself and get back into action. Find your purpose, desire…however you wish to name this step, but do it. Start right now curating a painting of who you are and what is you. It doesn’t have to be perfect or in order as you will determine as it unfolds what order it must be for you. This is not about being stubborn in developing your curation and acting on it. It is about you not being afraid to take a stand and believe in  yourself and let go of anything in your mind

What is it going to take to get you motivated to carry out something you know you must do (i.e. an obligation)? Life situations where you live, work and play can stagger your thoughts, and then behavioral attitudes start to expand further delaying your ability to carry out something you know you must do. Next up will be how you speak about the obligation (negative word choices) which stacks on top of the others. And there you are, in a never-ending cycle of slump, stress, rac

Hybrids are usually defined as a blend of something with another to create another. However, in this case, I am referring to whether your mind and body are in unison. The way we operate in the world is through access to both mind and body. When one is lacking, the other part suffers or is not reacting or responding as it usually would. So, from a health and wellness perspective, you cannot perform adequately where you live, work and play without both parts being expressed coh

An article I read many years ago, carries much personal development properties and so much more for today’s current times.  The article is from (News Wise-2013), entitled, “What Role Do Religion & Spirituality Play in Mental Health?” concerns spirituality and understanding its inclusion with mental health.   The interviewee, Kenneth Pargament, PhD (Psychology of Religion & Spirituality Expert) interviewed by The American Psychological Association (APA) indicated that more el

We have all been around people that either bring us up or bring us down. I am sure you have tried different ways to deal with a person that brings you down or in other words brings negativity into your aura. You know who they are…They always have something non-supportive to say, are crass in their words or emotions, and just seem to never want to break from a non-conducive behavior. This behavioral attitude travels to your brain and there the stress begins with a dawning of u

How many times do you allow yourself to mingle with those things which are not positively systematic for your life? You know what I mean; the ongoing tendencies and or behaviors in which you live your life and how you may integrate them in a habitual way.   See, habits can become a regular necessity, and you must be able to filter what’s right for you. When I talk about “The Right Food” I am talking about what you ingest on a behavioral level such as how you live, communicate

Hello all,   During my leisure travels, I found something interesting that I felt needed great attention.   What if you woke up one morning and found your life was not what you had imagined it to be? You receive the worst news or that situations in your life are just not positive; too painful to even fathom?   I have had the gracious opportunity of getting to know many people who have had these experiences or are currently in them and I am sure you know some folks like this t

I am going to start this blog targeted specifically on Inspiration!How do you get inspired on a day-to-day level?   Is there a person or group that inspires you? As an example, I like to be real with people. Not in the way of stepping on their toes or being outright rude…but rather just being sincere and loving in how I inspire; being me.   Being around people with energy and vision and spirituality really helps you become better at what you do or even with certain decisions

Life can have so many unforeseen hurdles and some of those hurdles we conquer and others we don’t. But when we choose to survive; when we choose to keep living positively and with vigor…each hurdle that comes our way we become an even stronger person of faith and belief and see the bigger picture. How do you choose to see your picture? Will you run away from the hurdles; try to skirt around them; let them ground you…or will you see them for what they are, redirect your path a

Choose, to live a life of adventure and capture all the wonderful things it has to offer. You do not have to be just an empty nester to do this. To not live in adventure means you are stagnating in your daily living and not promoting it to its fullest potential. You see, adventures do not have to be complicated or even planned sometimes as spontaneity is great to promote in your life as well. Adventures are fun if you remain open minded and learn to just let go. So, decide wh

Just about anything concerning business, or work-related demands can be stressful and drain your mental and physical energy.  However, remember there are so many resources in the world that may not cost you a thing to help you find solutions and resolutions. So, here’s a power punch. Everything starts with ACTION. Action to do and produce something out of nothing in most cases, but it’s important to start here. Even if you feel disheartened or have anxiety about the outcome..

It is weird how we can get ourselves into trouble. Trouble that lands us sometimes in discerning situations because we allowed our thoughts to get away from us. I like to portray to Clients that, "thoughts can be managed rather than controlled." The concept of the term "controlled" could make you do what you never intended to do. Using the “managed” process is a softer approach because it allows you to develop equanimity giving you more time to assess and obtain greater insig

Minding your brain means paying attention to the little pings that go off to let you know it’s time to refresh and relax. Take note of what’s not working for you, what’s eating at you...and place it in the recycled part of your brain for disposal. Let those things go and let them become something useful and productive that is satisfying for you and your well-being.

When you do not venture to do greater or better things in your life it is usually due to another source you have held onto and never let go. Understanding that source and its placement in your life (reality or falseness) will allow you to withdraw yourself from it and live in the present doing what makes you feel alive.    Copyright © 2026 Brenda Rockward Coaching  LLC   LifeSkillsAuthor.com    All rights reserved   Request permission from the owner and author before attempti

Self-esteem is part of all of us and how much of a terrible thing it may be is only when an imbalance occurs. Look at it from this perspective, either you do not feel enough for yourself and who you are, or you feel too much of yourself which can be equally damaging not only to yourself but others around you.   People can fall victim to self-esteem issues every day of their lives and may not realize they are doing it and how often. When it becomes an ongoing process where you

Today’s discussion is about people who suffer undoubtedly with Fibromyalgia.   What is it about this disease that some physicians are calling it out in numerous fashions now, when years’ ago there was no such diagnosis? When the diagnosis is made, most patients are placed on such medications as Cymbalta and Lyrica; some are placed on multiple prescriptions of these sorts to handle the generalized pain, brain fog, nerve pain and more.   How does a patient diagnosed with Fibrom

Our new age society of education can sometimes run a chaotic path with so many directives outside of the norm of day-to-day criteria for educators to formulate, analyze, deliver, etc... whether it stems from public schools or higher education domains.   Teachers are judged extremely and most times it rests with lesson planning and delivering it in the best possible way. To be outstanding in this or in the creative building of the lessons all the time can be a stress zone. Tak
