Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Splitting and growing plants may sound easy, but splitting our time and energy to do many things is a bit more difficult. The first portion of this podcast is about growth. How do you become inspired about dealing with daily events? Linda talks about Hosta and the need to keep splitting them. She takes it another step for us. How do you split your time? Do you find yourself involved just with work, or just with family? When and how do you grow in your relationships? When do you thrive?
Learning to thrive under different circumstances can be hard. We don’t always feel motivated, but we still continue to move ahead. Give yourself credit when you do that! Filter your thinking and clearing your mind takes time; look at the bigger picture.
How do you build others up? How do you engage with other people? Do you need to build better relationships? Write letters to others, call your acquaintances, help others find their signature strengths! It will help them and help you build integrity.
Next, Linda explains the direction of upcoming podcasts and how they will be broken down into sections so hang on for more.

Following Up on Counseling Care
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Counseling care can be the most awesome thing you have ever done. Linda Gullo has been in practice at Delight in Living, Ltd. for over 20 years. Here she offers a few thoughts on why people seek out counseling.
Our mental health and the way we think about things makes all the difference in the world. Whether it is resolving a problem, having faulty thinking, or just plain old grieving, counseling is a great avenue to pursue. In a world where people search for quick fixes and self medicate or just try to ignore the signs and symptoms of loneliness, counseling can help immensely.
This simple 11 minute podcast will hopefully inspire and help you find the care you need. Let the one step place you on the escalator of success.
Counselors are the Best HIDDEN Secret Around!
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Counselors are one of the best hidden secrets around town. This is a first in a series of how we can address issues that tamper with our happiness. This short and impromptu conversation Linda shares with you can help you find meaning and resolve problems along the way. (This is not a script of the podcast, but simply an overview.)
Linda discusses some of the stigma or concerns that you may think about. Issues that are keeping you from being happier can be addressed and resolved. There may be resolution that is quickly resolved by simply discussing a few topics with a professional. One may be grieving from a major loss in your life. You may be simply lacking a focus due to stress. It is good to have a counselor in your rolodex that can be easily contacted as you need one. It is like having a mechanic to call when your car doesn’t start. We take better care of our pets than we do taking care of our mental health.
Be your own Bulldog & sniff out the help you need.
Although faulty thinking accumulates over time , one can step away and reclaim thinking for themselves. We can filter out what doesn’t reflect our values and find happiness. It floods back into our lives with a few minor adjustments that come to our attention.
Communication is an ongoing process. We need to feel comfortable with ourselves to enjoy life fully. Although we use words, we aren’t communicating what we really need or want. The people around us are also so involved in their own lives that they do not have the skills or time to reach out and help you resolve problems.
Stay tuned for the next Podcast in a week on the potential goodness that arises and some of the topics you are able to bring forward.
Stop waiting and begin creating the life you want. Don’t keep hidden helpers (namely Couselors) away. Take the first step forward and put yourself on the escalator of success. Try counseling. Get the support and joy you richly deserve.
