Are You Magnifying Your Problems?

In the current economic environment today it’s quite natural to suffer emotional stress from overcrowded highway traffic and the worries over an affordable personal healthcare system. And think of adding to these, what if you are the spouse of military personnel deployed to war? Often any additional anxiety promotes a magnification of the current problems making them appear larger than they are, propelling individuals to be overwhelmed and possibly dramatic in their response behavior. How do you know if you are magnifying your problems?r

Dealing with Negativity in the Workplace

It’s a rare workplace environment that hasn’t experienced the corrosive effects of chronic negativity. Like a bad mood, negative behavior can spread among departments, even wide spread enough to infect company divisions or regions. It can be practiced by one individual or groups of individuals wanting to belong to something bigger than themselves. In the search for professinal kinship, groups will take issues and brew them until they are as scorched as bad coffee. Conseqeuntly, we coined a term for them, the Brew Crew.

Experiencing Life Balance Fatigue

We have all heard the collective lament, ‘My career is not exciting anymore. I don’t feel energized to go into my shop or my office. I don’t even have enthusiasm for the student’s sports activities at the high school. I used to love being involved in those games and the play offs. What’s happened to me?” The workforce market has demonstrated to us nationally, that this phenomenon happens not only to middle management, but uniformly at the highest levels of corporate executives.

Good Fortune & Gratitude

Most of us recognize the expression, ‘Count Your Blessings’. But do we really do this on a daily basis? During this holiday season, we were in the checkout line of a young man in a major grocery store. When I inquired what he had asked of Santa this year, he replied, “A new wife.” He went on to tell us that he had lost his wife to cancer a year ago and he was so lonely. My whole being was in distress for him. Going to the car I went through my mental checklist of all my personal good fortune.

Change The Message

Recently, we were the speakers at a ‘caregivers’ night in a local desert community. After the conclusion of the official program, we opened the floor for those that had specific issues to address. The common question we heard was, “Why can’t I get my dad to get dressed on time in the morning? ...

Surviving Tough Times Without Despair

If you look around at the losses in the job market, the crush of the housing industry, the financial woes of the car industry; and, any personal events in your life, it’s no wonder the slide into despair is common place for many today. As one of our clients found himself on that downward spiral, he related this series of events to us. We’ll call him Ed and illustrate the events, with his permission, that caused him to fall into depression and despair.

Motivation - Where is It?

Many of today’s talented folks are in the customer service industry, beauticians, hotel bellmen, computer technicians, even the greeters at Wal-Mart. This group has the immediate conce in providing customer satisfaction; and, maintaining pleasant business deportment while doing it. Often they are confronted with frustrated customers that make the conversation argumentative. If you are in a ‘thank-less’ position, how do you find the motivation to continue when appreciation is rarely expressed? Distinguish between ‘you’ the person and your job.

What is Meaningful Success?

Achievement, victory, accomplishment, and attainment are all terms that we commonly associate with success. It is today’s hallmark that we link success with monetary gain. As many of us have discovered, financial wealth does not guarantee bliss nor bring a satisfying meaning to life. Fiscal wealth can create different opportunities for you and make the ‘creature comforts’ of life easier to obtain. However, money by itself is not the ultimate measure to meaningful success.

Is Your Future Attainable?

Isn’t it exciting to walk further into your personal year with new challenges, new skills acquired from the previous year; and possibly, new friends. As is customary in any new year’s planning, many of us have made personal and professional resolutions for the future, ultimately functioning as internal promises. In fact, promises are the vehicles that can truly create the future. Sadly, many of these resolutions go unfulfilled all year long.

Is This the Truth?

Do you find yourself wondering why people perceive you in a certain light? Why am I so slow? Or possibly why you perceive your co-worker or neighbor in a negative or positive light? Sometimes this happens as a result of someone telling you that co-worker is lazy or irresponsible. Does this illustrate a recent event or the entirety of all of their lives? Statements such as the above are ‘labels’ carrying heavy judgment with them. The judgment part can be good or very cruel. Let’s consider children responding to their parent’s public statements of, “You are brilliant”!
