Finding the Gold In Imperfection

Finding the Gold In Imperfection

October 27, 2016 nw_admin , No comments

Awhile ago my husband and I went to go see the unique and iconic singer Sia.  She was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed the show. 

She never took center stage, instead choosing to stand off to the side. Her face was never visible.  She stayed hidden behind her iconic wig. On center stage were her amazing dancers and actors and her full, beautiful voice filled the space around us. It was a full production. Yet she never placed herself at the center of it all.

We Can Walk Through It

We Can Walk Through It

October 2, 2016 Nicole Weiss No comments

This morning when I woke up the sun hit my face in a way that made me feel happy, glad to be alive. It’s not because I slept well. I woke up halfway through the night thinking for too long before I fell back asleep. And today is full and with no breaks. But still I feel good.

Are You Really Caring Less?

Are You Really Caring Less?

September 27, 2016 Nicole Weiss No comments

My very favorite part of the growth process is when change becomes so real and so natural that it becomes like a fire in your belly that can’t be contained. Let’s call it a good fire. I felt this way after my divorce from my first husband. Leaving without knowing if I would even marry again (and not really caring either way on that one), not knowing how or if I would have children (something I still wanted) and saying to the world…whatever comes next I don’t care because anything is better than this. I felt as if I stopped caring about what others thought (as much). And started caring MORE about what was important to me. What was once a small flame of self love, respect and deep knowing grew big and bright.

Grumpiness

Grumpiness

Lately I have been struggling with a bit of grumpiness. 

It’s not out of control but it sits there under the surface, tugging at me.  You know…just a low level crankiness.  And with that crankiness I find that lately I am noticing everything that I DON’T LIKE.

Do you struggle with intimacy? 

Do you wonder if someone is nuts because they seem to actually like YOU?

Do you find yourself in relationships where you feel undervalued?

Where Do You Plug In?

Where Do You Plug In?

August 11, 2016 Nicole Weiss , , No comments

Over the past 15 years my views on what it means to “have issues” have changed. Sure there are people who have serious mental illnesses – and that absolutely cannot be minimized. It’s important to act quickly and thoroughly when someone has acute health issues. Yet I have come to realize that most of us are just dealing with the human condition.

Today is the Day I Forgive Myself

Today is the Day I Forgive Myself

August 11, 2016 Nicole Weiss , , No comments

I will forgive myself for behaving badly in my 20’s while I was trying to figure out who I was. I wasn’t a big party person but I was a know it all.

I thought I understood boundaries and relationships but now I know that I was mostly being an asshole (and a teeny bit judgemental).  I forgive myself because at the time they were the best decisions I knew how to make.

I am not an asshole anymore and I have learned.  It’s time to forgive myself.

Who’s Knocking (The Classroom of My Mind)

April 5, 2016 Nicole Weiss , , No comments

Many clients come into my office asking if it’s possible to remove troubling aspects of their personalities.  Often I might hear:

Can you help me to get rid of my anxiety?

Is it possible to completely eliminate my depression?

How exactly do I totally let go of my anger?
