6 Depression Busters

Most of us have been there, and sometimes without warning. Depression typically attacks those who have suffered a loss, physical and mental abuse, have low self-esteem or are experiencing a lack of fulfillment. The degrees in the severity of depression vary from bouts of mild depression extending to more severe, medical conditions such as bi-polar disorder. For the milder bouts of depression, it is much simpler to find higher ground than it is for a person who is suffering from a more serious condition.

6 Reasons You Should Exercise

We all know that the direct path to a strong, healthy and lean body is eating right and exercising. If you don’t know this yet – surprise! So, if most of us know how beneficial regular exercise is, why are so many of us still not doing it? Well for one it takes time and energy that we often convince ourselves we don’t have enough of (you’ll see the irony in this shortly). Secondly, let’s face it - initially it’s very uncomfortable. How many people do you know get excited about going to the dentist or about cleaning out the garage? Precisely.

How to Convert Fear into Fuel

Over recent years, I have come to realize that the complete elimination of fear is unlikely. There was a point, not too long ago, that I believed I could learn to get rid of fear and then life would be grand. Well, not exactly. I still have fears, but guess what? Life is grand anyway.

Lose Weight Using Affirmations

Before I begin talking about affirmations and how to use them to assist you in your weight loss journey, I want to briefly discuss mindset. It is important that you think about this journey as a lifestyle change, not self deprivation. If you view the effort to lose weight as a “diet” or as temporary, you’re risking ending right back where you started. You won’t always need to lose weight obviously, however feeding your body healthy foods and exercising consistently is a lifestyle – something that you will want to continue for many years to come.

10 Practical Tips to Help You Lose Weight

With all of the information out there, I’m pretty sure you have a decent idea about what needs to be done in order to lose weight. Bottom line? Eat healthy foods and exercise. This sounds simple enough, but for many people it’s a struggle. The struggle most people face isn’t in knowing what to do, it’s doing it. Passing up certain foods; having the will to say no; getting motivated enough to get dressed and actually go to the gym. This becomes particularly difficult when faced with self-sabotaging thoughts like “Go ahead and eat it.

Develop Laser Focus in Four Steps

Some years ago, if I could describe myself in one word, that word would be “distracted”. I would jump from one task to the next and never seemed to get anything accomplished, often feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. The day finally arrived when I realized that I wasn’t getting anywhere and I began a journey to develop better focus. Here's what I discovered and what worked for me:

Organize Your Life in 30 Minutes

One would think that such an enormous task like organizing a life would take days, weeks, even months. But 30 minutes! What’s the catch? So often we allow our minds to over-complicate things. It really is a very simple process to organize your days, in a few short steps. Once you’ve read and applied the steps below, you’ll be amazed at how much more you're able to accomplish and--you may want to sit down for this one--you’ll have more free time to spend doing the things you enjoy. Yes, it’s true.

Facing Rejection with Courage

Rejection can be very painful and if our self-esteem isn’t where it should be ideally (and many of ours isn’t) then rejection can throw us a devastating blow. The ability to handle rejection without turning it inward, attacking ourselves with thoughts of unworthiness and losing our ability to think rationally is not something one can find a quick fix to. The ability to deal courageously with rejection happens naturally as we build up our self-esteem by beginning to love and accept ourselves.

6 Ways to Jump Start Your Day

It’s O-dark early and the only thing worse than climbing out of bed is getting fired (and that’s debatable). Ever have one of those first morning thoughts and if yes, do you have them often? Well, do I have good news for you! This is how you can change that:

Weight Loss - How to Gain Control of Self-Sabotage

How often have you exceeded the day's caloric goal or if you aren't counting calories, simply overeaten and then said to yourself "I already blew it so I might as well eat what I want the rest of the day, because tomorrow - it all ends! I'll just start over". Following that statement, do you ever find yourself going on an all-out eating binge?

How to Control Your Thoughts

As I awake each morning, my mind tends to hurriedly wander off in anticipation of the day’s pending events. To do lists and deadlines note their urgency in my mind before my eyes even have the chance to focus. An immediate sense of panic rips through my cortex, causing me to jump to my feet and stumble to the bathroom sink where I splash cold water onto my face (much like sticking one's finger in a light socket). After a brief face making exchange with the mirror, I try to talk myself out of going to the gym while my thoughts desperately move in the direction of the coffee pot.

How to Remain Focused Through the Storms

It takes a lot of energy to remain on task when Murphy 's Law is in effect (Murphy's Law = whatever can go wrong, does). Having personally experienced this (repeatedly) over the years, I have been able to build muscle in this area and can now remain focused and keep moving forward, right through the storms. However, this didn't come easy, and I still find myself holding a holey umbrella now and then.

The Spirit of Success

Within each of us lies a power so great that many of us cannot comprehend the potential it holds to change our lives forever. We doubt, we worry, we cry, we fear and yet while all of these emotions are completely normal and part of what makes us human, too often we surrender to them for prolonged periods, never realizing that we had the ability to change our reality the entire time.

5 Steps to Unstoppable

When you become unstoppable, you are making a statement that no matter what crosses your path, you will not stop until you have reached your destination. Perhaps your destination is a specific fitness or weight loss goal or maybe you aspire to be a multi-millionaire, famous musician, best-selling author or an Olympic gymnast. The list is endless. Whatever it is that you strive to achieve, when you become unstoppable you have already mentally achieved it and now it’s just a matter of catching up to it in the physical. How do I become unstoppable?

The Power of Taking Action

Visualization is one of the most powerful tools we have to make our dreams become a reality. It is a daily ritual of mine and I have manifested some pretty amazing things and circumstances into my life since I began practicing the art of visualization. However, if I had not acted upon that which I was visualizing, the manifestation would surely have stood me up. Most of us have heard the phrase “Thoughts become things”. What it should say is, "Thoughts followed by action, become things." Without action, all thought remains within the confines our imaginations.

Letting Go

Letting go seems to be one of the most difficult things for most of us to do, yet it’s the most rewarding and freeing experience you can ever give yourself. The ability to let go frees you both emotionally and physically. There is often a misconception as to what “letting go” really means, so first I’d like to clear that up.

The Freedom of Forgiveness

There are times when forgiveness can be the furthest thing from our minds, particularly when the person we should forgive has done something we deem to be unforgivable. It took me years to understand that forgiveness is not for the sake of the other person, but for our own sakes. It takes very little effort to harbor anger, resentment, hurt and other negative feelings associated with the betrayal of another. The real effort and strength is in the forgiveness; in the ability to let go.

Weight Loss - How to Control Night Hunger

Understanding a problem is the first step to solving it. When it comes to weight loss or weight maintenance, one of my most difficult issues has always been night hunger, however controlling my appetite throughout the day has never been a problem. As a matter of fact, I barely notice that I’m hungry during the day. Evenings, on the other hand, are a different story. For years, I tried to figure out how to get a handle on night hunger and it wasn’t until I finally realized what the problem was that I was able to correct it.

The Value in Providing Value

It often appears that the term “providing value” is labeled, put in a box and placed on a shelf, when value should truly be something that encompasses the entire room. I’ll elaborate. When we provide value, it should not be limited to the goods and/or services that we provide, but rather, it should be the way in which we approach our relationships, our career, our self-care, and life in general.

Good Fat, Bad Fat and You

Good fat? Isn’t that an oxymoron? Yes and no. Good fat is essential to a healthy heart, developing soft, younger looking skin and for the storage and delivery of fat-soluble vitamins. Good fat also has many other health benefits when eaten in moderation. If you are on a weight loss journey, however, reducing all fat intake is recommended.
