The path to becoming Wagalicious
Is life raining on your parade today? Some famous human poet named Henry Waddup Somefellow – or something like that – said into every life a little rain must fall. He’s probably right and it’s no fun when it happens. When it’s real rain you can use an umbrella. When it feels like a storm cloud is fo...
Are you in a bit of a funk today? It happens…sometimes I wake up on the wrong side of the crate, too. If that’s going on for you today, crank up the tunes. Put on your favorite party music and play it as loud as you can. And maybe that means headphones on and loud but not too loud, or maybe that mea...
Imposter syndrome is where someone feels like they’re in over their head. Is that you sometimes? Do you feel like you’re not good enough, or you’ll be found out and kicked out? Remember these important things about you – you have jumped through all the hoops necessary to get to where you are. You st...
Do you meditate? I saw you roll your eyes – just give me 42 seconds to explain how easy it is. Early in the day sit comfortably in a quiet place, set a timer for 15 minutes, close your eyes and breath deeply. Feel your breath go in and then feel your breath go out.

Are you dealing with a grumpy co-worker today? It’s no fun…Mom’s grumpy sometimes too. This works for me…maybe you too? I just remember that she’s doing the best she can do in the moment. Sometimes that’s not very good, and she always snaps out of it sooner or later. Can you ignore your grumpy gus’s...
Has today been one of those days when you had to give someone bad news? You do that a lot in your job, don’t you? I’m sorry…maybe this will help. Humans feel at their very worst when they don’t know what’s happening – uncertainty is so uncertain! When you tell them what’s going on with their pet – e...
Are you frustrated with yourself today? I was frustrated with me this morning…will I EVER catch that chipmunk under the porch?? Pretend like you’re your best friend – if they’d done what you’re mad at yourself for doing, what would you say to them? Probably not what you’re saying to yourself!! Cut y...
Some days do you feel unappreciated? Who knew mom would be so upset when I brought her that pretty red leather shoe. I only chewed it a little bit and I did give it to her…sheesh, you’d think I started world war three or something! Anyway, if you’re feeling unappreciated too, give yourself a little ...
When was the last time you took a vacation? When is the next time? Mom takes me to dog shows all the time so we get mini-vacations and those are fun. Think about your next vacation – where will you go, who will go with you, what will you do? Have fun planning the details and thinking about what you’...
