Disappointments? 7 Steps to Transforming Them

Just about anything can create a feeling of disappointment if you allow it too. It could be something as simple as the weather putting a damper on events or vacations, or perhaps something more serious as in job layoffs and cut backs, or not receiving the job applied for, or a relationship that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, or an illness, etc. The problem is not the disappointment; it’s in how much attention and meaning you give to it. Have you ever gone outside on a windy day and tried to stop it from blowing?

Melt Your Stresses Away With Laughter

Laughter can melt stress away like ice cream on a warm summer day. Victor Borge, known as "The Clown Prince of Denmark" was a extraordinary comedian, conductor and pianist. He said, "If I have caused just one person to wipe away a tear of laughter, that’s my reward". If you haven’t had a chance to see any of his performances, he’s hilarious, and has definitely brought more than one tear to my eye.

Your Emotions - Your Choice

You have your day all planned out. You get up, you choose what you are going to wear, what you are going to have for breakfast, what time you have to leave if you are going somewhere, what route you will take, you have your E.T.A., you know what is intended for your day and you are off and away. Then... maybe before you even leave the house things change and with that, your customary way of being shifts as well, just like that.

Are You Making Time for Joy in Your Life?

It’s important to make time for joy, because you are JOY! When you do things that express who you truly are, it reflects in everything you do. When it’s all work and no play, there doesn’t seem to be much time for fun, laughter, friends, family, but mostly, you! Even if you’re passionate about your work, or home life, it can become the focus instead of an extension of who you truly are. Ask yourself these questions: * How do you express your joyous self?

How To Stay Commited to Your Health and Happiness

For many people, knowing what they need to do to feel healthier and happier in their life is often a lot easier than actually following through with it. I am sure you have experienced times in your life, or perhaps even currently, where you set a goal, made a resolution, devised a plan of action for your desires for yourself personally and/or professionally, and then before you know it, you are back to just thinking about it or it becomes a passing thought.

Are You Asking for Feedback In Your Life?

Often people are afraid to ask for feedback from their partners, kids, co-workers, bosses, friends, and family because they are afraid of what they might say. Don’t worry, if you ask you have a choice of how you will interpret the comments. You can take them in as negative or positive. You can see them as criticism or constructive criticism. You can let them empower you and explore new possibilities or you can allow them to take your power away and focus on the impossibilities.

Do Your Thoughts Need Polishing Up?

If you have ever seen a geode, you would know they look like an ordinary rock on the outside but when broken open, they reveal a beautiful display of crystals. When polished, wow, simply breathtaking. Think of your thoughts like a geode that when opened and polished, they are brilliant gems.

Does Today Feel Like a Perfect Day?

The dawn of each new day and each new moment is flawless even when it seems flawed by our thinking and emotions. When things are going well it's easier to say or think, "today is a perfect day", but when times are trying in your personal and/or professional life, it can be difficult to see beyond the present impasse or loss. What once seemed like it couldn't be more ideal soon can be filled with sadness, doubt, worry, anxiety, and angst. What happened to those wonderful, exciting, fun, passion filled days? Where did they go? They didn't go anywhere.

8 Steps To Listen and Communicate Effectively

The majority of your day is probably spent listening and communicating with others. Whether it's your children, partner, co-workers, friends, etc., you have an ear open to what is being said. The question is, "Are you really hearing them?"

Turn Your Highs Into Lows

Life is filled with glorious and not so glorious experiences. What constitutes lows for each person varies. For some, the smallest things may set them off. For instance, the weather may put a damper on their day, or someone says something that sends them into a frenzy. Perhaps something goes wrong at work or home that leaves them sputtering or stewing, or maybe they have to wait in line, or someone cuts them off while driving or takes a parking space, etc. For others these may seem trivial compared to losing a job, loved one, or coping with addictions or illnesses.

The Gift of Giving

I don't know about you, but I love giving! Not because of the thanks or the credit received by doing something kind for someone, but because you can't help but feel good right down to your toes. Emmanuel Swedenborg said, "Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good things even if we don't get anything in return. It is the joy of our life to do them. When we do good things from this inner desire, there is a kindness in everything we think, say, want, and do."

Starting Over Doesn't Have To Be Stressful

I certainly have had my fair share of starting over, from jobs, to relationships, to finances, to moving, to working on a project, and even to the newsletters I write. I used to become really stressed when things changed, especially over the ones that would impact my life. I would get myself so worked up thinking the worst was about to happen, as my experiences were leading me to believe it was always going to be that way, and out of my control to change.

Stressed? – It’s Time to Unplug and Reap the Benefits

Is it time for you to unplug? I mean really unplug. Stop multi-tasking, going, and doing for awhile; just breathe and be. We live in a world of ever growing technology which is absolutely wonderful, but it is important to remember to return to the basics now and then. Make time to enjoy your home, or take in the scenery, or go on an outing, or a vacation, or spend time with family and friends. Sit down and a read a book, not just for a couple of hours, but for a whole day. Or, do some creative writing, or journal, or go for a hike, bike ride, or trip.

Ease the Stress With the Simple Pleasures in Life

With all the hustling and bustling and pressures of day to day demands at work and/or at home, either self induced or from others, people are stressed and struggling to find a balance and a sense of happiness in their day, let alone in their lives.

6 Steps to Making Tough Decisions Easier

Decision making is a part life. There are choices to be made in our personal, professional, and spiritual lives. Some decisions don’t require a lot of thought or effort on your part as they are the basic ones – what to eat, what to wear, what time to leave, which route to take, etc. Although, sometimes even the smallest of decisions can create a certain amount of stress or anxiety, but generally it’s minimal compared to the tough decisions you might find yourself having to make.

Is It Possible To Be Positive Today?

No matter what kind of day you are having, is it possible to be positive? What I do know is that whatever is transpiring on this day, whether you view it as great, good, bad, or indifferent, in my experience thinking positively can help make the day a better one. Being optimistic doesn’t take away what is occurring, but it does help make what you are going through easier to endure and, if you are having an awesome day, it only adds to that which is positive already. It’s a win, win situation.
