Finding Guidance

Regardless of their personal belief systems (spiritual focus, formalized religion, or a combination thereof), people tend to like the comfort of feeling connected to those beings that support us from the other side, whether we believe "the other side" to be an alte ate universe, a heavenly realm, etc. One reason people find this so comforting is that they like knowing that something greater than themselves is available for them from which they can seek or receive guidance and clarity.

Surviving Reality: Compassionate Competition

To a lot of people, the word competition is ugly and holds a negative connotation. When we think of the word competition, we often think of professional sports, athletes, Survivor the reality show, "others" on the dating scene, or the younger generation entering the workforce who may just beat us out for the next big promotion. But in reality competition can be what empowers us to be more than just a survivor and the reason we flourish and succeed. We can amp up the level we achieve by embracing compassion within our actions during times of competition.

Mentoring: An Art Form

Serving as a mentor for someone brings with it much responsibility and pride. The former is true because you fill a much-needed position in the lives and careers of those whom you mentor, and the latter is true because you attain a position from which you assist others by drawing on your own experience and hindsight.

Health Coaching?

Coaching is one of the fastest growing industries. Recently an associate of mine quipped, “Yeah, the economy takes a downward turn and suddenly everyone is a coach of this, that or another.” At first I was taken aback, but then after some thought I realized that from one perspective that statement has some truth behind it. Over the last few weeks I made a conscious effort to keep an eye for how many coach-type emails, advertisements, etc., came my way.

Challenges of Identifications

Stress is a hot topic these days, especially with the state of the economy, the rise in unemployment, and the notion our financial nest eggs are not as plush as they once were. In my recent article "Internal vs. Exte al Stress: Can You Identify Which One?” I expressed the importance of identifying and adjusting our behaviors to balance our lives to reduce any negative effect stress is having on our physical, mental and energetic bodies. This is more difficult than most realize. It is much like comparing fingerprints.

Choice Is Motivation

We hear the term "empowerment" a lot these days. For those who need a reminder, empowerment refers to liberty and our ability to achieve what we desire. Motivation, on the other hand, is that what keeps your spirit and enthusiasm high. Your need for self-empowerment or self-motivation in life comes from within. Motivation gives you something to which to look forward, and it makes everything seem attainable – even those goals that may seem impossible.

It's All a Matter of Perspective

Last week the world paid respects to Elizabeth Taylor, and I was reminded that in death we begin to view an individual from the eyes of goodness and greatness. But why is it during life we view these same individuals from a completely different perspective? I am generalizing here, but in many cases--especially conce ing her multiple marriages--Taylor was definitely put through the ringer when it came to judgments made against her. Did she deserve some of these?

Earth Day 2011 and Questions that Arise

All over the US and Canada there are millions of people celebrating Earth Day, and I often wonder what this day really means to people. For me Earth Day is a reminder to be kind to Mother Earth and remember that as much as we have renewable resources, it doesn’t mean we have unlimited resources.

Can Eyes See Beyond the World?

Over the last several years I always have wondered about, toyed with and believed in our extrasensory perception in relation to my own personal views versus those individuals close to me as well as people in general. We know and read in the media both science and philosophy continuously grow and expand in the advancement of understanding human life. Today most if not all scientists and philosophers agree on the fact a human’s investigation of the world is limited.

“Mind” of the Mind-Body-Spirit Approach

Yes, the mind is a terrible thing to waste. When we are overwhelmed and bombarded with information through multiple media outlets, our minds can begin to shut down or ignore really important information. I like to refer this as being "sign blind." Being sign blind can be referring to those 50 roadside billboards you drive by to and from work just as it refers to missing the signs of intuitive and inner wisdom information that can guide us to making better and more appropriate decisions in life.

Revisiting the Seven Habits

It’s been almost a decade since I read the infamous self-help book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven Covey, but it’s such a helpful tool that it came as no real surprise when I recently felt compelled to re-read it. As I did so, I found myself wondering if I had addressed or implemented the particular habit introduced in each new chapter. By the time I finished those chapters, I was delighted to find that I had, in fact, embraced them since my initial reading of the book.

Understanding Emotional Response to Change

This week it seems my work week will be rearranged so I can support son while he is working through an ear infection and teething fevers. Am I happy about it? Not really, but ultimately my first priority beyond any reasonable doubt is my son's health and well-being. It is somewhat out of my control how the next few days will be spent while his needs outweigh that of any type of work or productivity I am trying to achieve this week. Meetings get rearranged and priorities get seriously shuffled.

Patience Is a Virtue

Patience is something I never thought I would have, but now with motherhood I realize that just maybe patience has been there all along and I just never saw it or drew upon it. As a child I can remember my parents often reminding me to be patient, to wait, to be considerate while another has his turn, and to trust my turn will be soon enough. They were right is so many ways that it is sometimes difficult to comprehend.
