Our brain and it’s job to seek pleasure, avoid pain, and conserve energy is what creates the feeling of resistance - the force against the change or thing we need or want to do.

And we need to just identify it that way – notice it, name it, find a way to move through it.  Saying to ourselves, "Oh, this is just my brain resisting, but my brain doesn’t always know what’s best for me.  I can move through this."

But here are some truths I believe about marriage, motherhood, and my calling.

Sibling rivalry is jealousy, competition and or fighting between brothers and sisters.

Some experts say that sibling rivalry comes from children competing for their parent’s love. Others say the children's goal is to get their parent’s attention.

Procrastination makes you feel overwhelmed and incapable of taking charge of your life which, in turn, destroys your self-confidence.

Judging others gives us a sense of control – even if that control is only in our thoughts.

But when we judge others, it says more about us than about those we judge.

We’re unconsciously judging ourselves and projecting that judgment onto others.
