I'm a certified health coach (Institute for Integrative Nutrition), DreamBuilder Coach (Brave Thinking Institute), life coach (iPEC), a ...more

After taking a little time off, I'm now writing articles and op-eds, appearing on podcasts to help people who ate badly, reading lots of books, gearing up to complete the IBMDNW audiobook and companion workbook, and planning an event for the Authors Guild chapter in my area. Oh, and I'm learning pickleball! (less)

I just had to revisit As a Man Thinketh, the 1903 self-help book classic by James Allen. It was interesting to hear Allen (well, the narrator for the audiobook) repeat what many self-help authors argue. To put it succinctly, according to this 123-yea ...more

Quotes by Connie Bennett  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Healthy eating builds massive momentum. The more you pick nutritious foods, the more you'll want to continue to do so. All those top-quality bites contribute to bringing more joy, good health, and peace of mind into your life.”
Connie Bennett

“Not forgiving is like drinking rat poison and then waiting for the rat to die.”
Anne Lamott, Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith

“Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?”
Mary Manin Morrissey

“Healthy eating builds massive momentum. The more you pick nutritious foods, the more you'll want to continue to do so. All those top-quality bites contribute to bringing more joy, good health, and peace of mind into your life.”
Connie Bennett

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”
CS Lewis
