The Best Mental Health Counseling: Seven Steps to Stress-less Success

1) Create a life vision and visit it daily What I mean by a life vision is this: Where are you going? Where are you going in life? And what are you doing all this for? What’s the target? Many people don’t have this target or vision in their lives. They’re just in motion. They don’t really know where they’re going. That’s not necessarily the worst thing in the world, but oftentimes what happens to people who don’t have a destination or a target, is that they burn out. They don’t have any purpose for doing what they’re doing.

Relationship Success Strategies - Zen Listening

Zen: Finding enlightenment through intuition and introspection. Listening: Making an effort to attentively hear another person speaking. Therefore Zen Listening might be best described as the art of using one’s intuition and introspection to be fully present with another person during a conversation for the purpose of thoroughly hearing and understanding the other person’s communication. And why is this so important? Because when we thoroughly listen we create a very powerful communication dynamic that in turn deepens any and all of our relationships...perhaps if everyone practiced

Lessons From a Cat: Play, Persistence, Relaxation and Boundaries

I’d like to introduce you to a friend of mine: Jzumbula Kittae la Kunta. I call her “Kunta” and she’s a cat. Cats are interesting creatures and Kunta has taught me a number of lessons I wanted to pass on to you. Nine of them, in fact…fitting since cats allegedly have 9 lives. I think Kunta had closer to 49 lives. Lesson #1: Ask for what you want. Kunta showed up outside my front window about 15 years ago. She looked in and meowed several times.

Why Success is Awesome

Success is often aligned with prosperity, wealth, honor, and achievement, among many other “feel good” words. Success has a Latin origin that means to follow, prosper, and to go into action. Why success is awesome is because achieving it will allow you to experience your greatest sense of you. Whatever you decide to be of wealth, richness and value is your success. Success is your path to the most natural high, your highest self-esteem and self worth. Why is success so awesome? Simply because you are.

Life Success Strategies - What Are Your Core Values?

What are my core values? What's most important? The most important thing about the most important thing is to keep the most important thing the most important thing. I hope by now you are beginning to realize the importance of knowing what you want in your life, and you're beginning to take the steps to figure it all out. But how do you decide when to do what and for how long? You can start by creating a values and priorities oriented life. It may sound simple, but for many people it's quite challenging. When was the last time you sat down and inventoried your values?

Personal Success Tips - Wu-Wei Techniques (Verbal Kung-Fu)

The Wu Wei principle is to yield to an oncoming force in such a way as to render it harmless and at the same time, change its direction by pushing it from behind instead of resisting it from the front. When there is a conflict between two or more people, conditioned response is to cope by fight or flight. Flight responses are passive and range from giving into an unreasonable request from your mother, accepting a role established by your mate, lying and making up an excuse when your friend wants to borrow your car, to complete withdrawal, hiding from any contact with potential adversarie

What is Your Dharma?

Living your life on purpose allows your personal compass to direct you toward fulfilling your life purpose. When you’re on your intended path, you’re in dharma, which is an old Sanskrit word which Webster’s Dictionary defines as: an individual's duty fulfilled by observance of custom or law; the basic principles of cosmic or individual existence; conformity to one's duty and nature.

Values: It's An Urge, But it May Not Be Very Important

To continue our discussion on Values, just because something is Urgent doesn't necessarily mean it's important. Conversely, what’s vital refers to something central and internally crucial; something you literally can’t live without, not just for the moment but over time. In fact, vital comes from the word for life itself, like vital organs—heart, brain, blood. What’s vital may have less pressure and feel calmer than what’s urgent, but it’s much more crucial for your long-term survival and well-being. What’s vital to you feeds your life force.

Integrity is Where Your Walk Matches Your Talk

Some people call this place and space perfect in a non-perfectionist way. This is your perfect path! Let's visit the barometer metaphor: A barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure. This pressure change helps weather forecasters to predict what weather conditions might be forthcoming. Barometric conditions are always changing; therefore barometric measurement is always fluctuating. A compass, on the other hand, is used to determine direction. Since our North Pole has a natural magnetic pull to it, the needle of a compass will always point in that direction.

Personal Success Tips - Creative Self-Expression

How is your self-expression going? Are you able to set and keep your boundaries? Are you asking for what you want? Are you letting people know if they are meeting your needs? And where are you having difficulty carrying out your self-expression? Better yet, why is it so important to do all this self-expression stuff? I think you know the answer to that: If you don’t express yourself, you’ll not get what you want, need or desire in life AND you will get much of what you don’t want.

Abundant or Redundant: Where do You Live?

Abundance….this word has become quite popular these days as one of the latest “metaphysical buzzwords”. ‘Creating abundance”, “Manifesting abundance”, and “living the abundant life” are just a few of the abundance of abundant clichés these days. All of these sayings are trying to convince us that this abundant Life is just out there waiting for us to step into it. So you may be asking the $50,000,000 question: “How do I do that?” Quite frankly, I’m not sure I have all the answers to that but I do have some ideas that I thought I might share with you.

Life Success Strategies - Your Personal Integrity Meter

Disce between accepting and settling. Accept what you cannot change, but never settle for anything below your standards. When you settle for less than your standards, you allow yourself to lose integrity and you lose a piece of yourself every time. Simple math tells you that the more you’re not in integrity, the more you lose. Being out of integrity is very similar to your spine being out of its healthy alignment, or the alignment of your car being out of its proper settings.

Random Acts of Kindness and Pay it Forward

You can actually push the envelope in your life a bit more by practicing good deeds for no seemingly special or specific reason. One very powerful action and attitude you can embrace is the practice of random acts of kindness while also creating the pay-it-forward system of living. Random acts of kindness are just that: They’re random, and they’re kind. When you give out of your pure desire to give and you expect nothing in return, AND you do this only to benefit others, then you’re practicing random acts of kindness.

“People don’t plan to fail; sometimes they just fail to plan.” One of the major steps of Stress-less Success is to the create goals that reinforce the vision you created in the first step.

I was preparing for a couple of presentations for the Women On the Way (W.O.W.) program at our local St. Petersburg College (my A.A. /A.S. degree alma mater). I am always honored to go back to my old “stomping grounds” to do presentations, but even more so for this group, as most of the people connected with the WOW program are coming back to school after some major life transition. This program is designed to be a support for their success. They are my heroes, as they all use this support network to help each other be successful.

Life Success Strategies - How Big Is Your Fish Tank?

“It’s the simplest of math: Big fish tanks grow big fish; little fish tanks grow little fish....” "You can't catch fish unless you put your line in the water. You can't reach your goals if you don't try." ~ Kathy Seligman As I was planning for one of my workshops, the “fish tank” metaphor came up in my thinking. I wanted to emphasize how people could keep their “bigness” and create a “sabotage-proof” life. I thought back to when I had a very beautiful 55 gallon aquarium. There was over 100 pounds of real gravel in the bottom and it was lined with live plants.

Personal Success Tips - The Deeper Your Roots, The Sweeter Your Fruit

Roots and fruit...one of my favorite life philosophies. I believe we are all very similar to trees in a metaphorical sense. We have our “fruit”, which are our results. These results are based on our behaviors in that our behaviors, or actions, are what create our results. We have feelings and emotions, which are like the branches that carry the fruit. It is our emotions (e-motion = “energy in motion”) that motivates us (or not) into action. We have thoughts, which are carried in the trunk of the tree.

I recently went to one of the local home improvement stores to buy some lighting items for my office. Since I am not an electrician, I was looking to have the “experts” at this store assist me in this endeavor. Upon arriving and having gone to the lighting department, I was confronted with a couple of challenges. First, there was a pallet full of boxes parked right in front of the area that I was wanting to get to. In addition, one of their roll-around ladders was parked there as well. This ladder was occupied (he was sitting on it) by an employee having a telephone conversation.

Personal Success Strategies - The Expression-Repression-Depression-Connection

With all these rhymes I was tempted to write a poem (and I may still...stay tuned for the sequel!!) about this topic. However, I decided I would just be straight-forward with these dynamics, seeing how critically valuable they are in our day-to-day lives. We have a choice we make many times during the course of a day: Express it or repress it. In other words, we either find a way to release our expression, which may be referred to as “emotional discharge”, or we “stuff it”, which is synonymous with repression.

What do you have to have in life? What are those absolute, non-negotiable essentials for you? When you settle for nothing less than those essentials, you’ll find all your inner needs met. The problem is our culture has become very used to settling for less. This outcome, as I see it, goes back to the fact that most people don’t know who they really are and, therefore, don’t know what they really want.

Life Success Strategies - The Aftermath of Tragedy - Why???

Why? Many people are asking "Why" in the aftermath of tragedy. An appropriate question...but, unfortunately, there are no very good answers. There are, however, are few considerations for all of us to examine. We have become a violent culture and this violence has occurred very subtly. Via movies and TV shows, through the internet, computer and videogames, and of course through the media's "live" coverage of wars. I don't believe a day goes by in our culture without a major emphasis on violence. Does this explain why massacres and bombings happen?

Statistics also show nearly one third of American women report being exposed to some type of abuse at the hands of the significant other in their committed relationships. In reality, one out of every three is a grossly conservative figure, since the vast majority of abuse is never reported. These harsh statistics tell us that men (and women) are abusing the very people they say they love, which makes no rational or relational sense at all. As if divorce and abuse were not enough, individuals are descending farther and farther into addictive behaviors.
