Express Yourself Through Creative Outlets

I'll bet there are times when you feel the urgent need to do something creative. We all have them. But do you ignore those feelings because you don’t have time to do something for yourself or all those everyday tasks on your to-do list are nagging you to get them done? It is never a good idea to keep pushing aside those urges. They are happening for a reason. It’s your Self trying to communicate with you, telling you there’s something that needs to come out through a creative outlet.

***Positive thinking…the ripple that can change your life

“Just think positive!” We’ve heard it said in one way or another so many times. But what does thinking positive or having a positive attitude actually do for us? That’s a great question that I think needs a real answer. It’s sort of like; everyone says eat more greens, so you know you should. You may even know how those nutrients keep you healthy, affect your weight, blood pressure and digestion and yet still don’t do it. It’s not until you really start to feel the difference for yourself and realize how much better it is that you REALLY start to order more salads and less fries.

Do Women Really Know What They Want?

We all know the differences between men and women are like night and day and when it comes to relationships, it’s more of the same. So what’s the main difference between men and women when it comes to deciding to stay in a bad relationship or walk away? I believe that one reason women tend to stay longer than they should is based on a big disconnect between who they really are and what they’ve been brainwashed into expecting.

Turn Regret Into a Positive Emotion

We all have something we’ve regretted doing – or not doing – in our past. From passing up a fantastic career opportunity to hurting someone’s feelings, experiencing regret is a way for us to learn. It’s part of being human. In the past, researchers identified that the two largest areas of regret for people of all genders, socioeconomic backgrounds, and physical location were education and career. It seems that most individuals feel they could have done something better, more fulfilling, if only they’d taken advantage of opportunities to advance their schooling and career options.

Motherhood and the Financial Consequences of Staying at Home

Today – more than ever in recent history – mothers are choosing to stay home with their kids rather than pursuing a career after childbirth. It just makes sense; employment prospects are few and the cost of childcare is prohibitive. But before you decide to become a stay-at-home mom and give up your job, consider these factors. What’s Going to Happen in the Future?

***Achieving Goals, Step One…Take a Step

When it comes to achieving our goals, a good place to focus is on our thoughts and feelings about that dream or goal. We need to think about things like: • Why do we want to achieve this goal? • Have we thought through a plan of action on how we’ll get there? • And do we believe we can actually accomplish this goal? These are all great questions that we need to be willing to ask and answer. So, it seems logical that what we think…or don’t…are the biggest obstacles we face in moving forward toward accomplishing a goal or dream. However, that’s not necessarily the whole truth.

Need Inspiration and Motivation? Read These Stories of Success

I’ve seen it time and time again – women who lose their inspiration, their passion for life. Instead of focusing on goals that will help them feel fulfilled, they are mired in the demands of everyday life. In addition, they often fear the thought of trying to achieve something new, special, wonderful. They’ve lost their child-like belief that anything is possible and have developed uncertainty in its place.

***How to Reach a Goal: Picture life after it’s done

Jim Carrey is a name we know and a face we recognize…but he wasn’t always that famous actor. At one time he was a young man with a dream, struggling to make it in Hollywood like so many hopeful unknowns. But he didn’t stay that way. What did he do differently? He made a practice of envisioning his life after he’d ‘made it’ on the big screen. On a regular basis he drove up into the Hollywood Hills and parked his car where he could see the entire city of Los Angeles. Then he would imagine his life on the other side of his dream as if the dream were already complete.

Toxic People Prescriptions

We’ve all heard of toxic people and how they can bring down our mood with little more than a snide word or a sneering glance. Of course, you can’t control them but maybe, just maybe, you can influence them in a positive manner while keeping yourself safe from their venom. Think of toxic people as a virus invading your space; luckily there are certain “medicines” you can use to combat this malady. The Security Barrier

Power can mean a lot of different things to different people at different times. It’s a term often used in the corporate world – think of how many times you’ve heard the phrases “power suit” or “purchasing power”. It can also refer to the electricity that fuels our homes or the mechanical energy in a vehicle. But when it comes to people, being power-full is an entirely different concept. The Power to Control

You Can Do It - Stop Believing You Can't

Most individuals will spend their entire life being told that their dreams are something that they can’t do. “There is no way that you can play football with the boys”, or “No one would make you president”, or “You can’t possibly fly planes with all girls in the military”. It’s really hard to hear everyone around you tell you “You can’t”. Can’t is such an ugly word. The more times you hear it, the easier it is to believe the lies that are being told. You have to search for a way to respond to it. Don’t listen to it or any negative thoughts that people say about what you can do.
