The purpose of this article is to discuss what we at Protect consider the first stage of real self defense/personal protection; Avoidance through awareness and intuition.

This post was inspired by a client of mine who is definitely having mood swings and feels that her husband does not understand. His comments suggest that she is either mentally ill, depressed or just basically unstable. His recommendations are that she should take some anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication and just get these mood swings under control. He just wants to house to be peaceful and quiet again. He wants that loving wife back, the one who puts up with his quirks, cooks the meals and is always trying to please.

I remember taking my little niece to see the Disney movie, the Princess & The Frog. The movie was eerily accurate, especially when the Shadow Man does his little song and dance about black magic spells and how he is going to appeal to his “friends on the other side.” I know that it is a children’s movie. However, I am well aware of the work and dedication that goes into writing a good script. It needs to intertwine two worlds of fiction and fact. However, it cannot allow the
It’s easy to fall in love with narcissists. Their charm, talent, success, beauty, and charisma cast a spell, along with compliments, scintillating conversation, and even apparent interest in you. Perhaps you were embarrassed when your mate cut in front of the line or shuddered at the dismissive way he or she treated a waitress. Once hooked, you have to contend with their demands, criticisms, and self-centeredness. The relationship revolves around them, and you’re expected to meet their needs when needed, and are dismissed when not.<!--more-->

Myth #1: Drug addiction is voluntary behavior. A person starts out as an occasional drug user, and that is a voluntary decision. But as times passes, something happens, and that person goes from being a voluntary drug user to being a compulsive drug user. Why? Because over time, continued use of addictive drugs changes your brain -- at times in dramatic, toxic ways, at others in more subtle ways, but virtually always in ways that result in compulsive and even uncontrollable drug use. Myth #2: More than anything else, drug addiction is a character flaw.

While for some new mothers, bonding with their baby comes naturally and happens long before their baby was even born. For other mothers, developing that bond and deep sense of attachment takes time as they adjust to their new role as mom and adapt to their new physical, emotional and often spiritual self. Wherever you are in the bonding process, it's important to understand that bonding is indeed a process and not an end result you achieve simply after giving birth. Each day you spend caring for your baby, your bond with your baby develops and gets deeper.
While success is not the be all and end all, it is something we all make every effort for in at least one location of our lives and work. The secret to success is mind-set. Ultra-successful individuals like Richard Branson, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs who began with little or absolutely nothing have actually configured their minds to care about themselves and to envision their success. They developed objectives, imagined their accomplishment and after that went all out. If you desire success then you have to replicate ultra-successful individuals.

Round ligament pain is a common discomfort in the last half of pregnancy. It is most often felt on one side of the lower abdomen. Some women will experience it as a dull aching sensation, others a sharp stabbing pain. It's caused by the hormones of pregnancy which soften and stretch ligaments, in conjunction with the mechanical force of the growing weight of the uterus. The round ligaments provide lateral stability to the uterus, to help the organ stay in good alignment. The good news is that you don’t need to suffer through the pain.

I know that most people would say that an affair is the worst sin that a spouse could commit. I remember growing up as a child this is what I heard from my mother.

All I knew was that my father was not a part of my life because of his affair with another woman. You would think after all of that hurt of growing up without a father, there would be no way that I would cheat on my wife.

Spirituality and nature are very closely related. We can all take a close look at the natural world as a whole, or certain elements of it, and see the similarities of nature and human life. If you haven’t made the connection to nature yet then you will likely be feeling an emptiness or a void in your life that you just can’t quite determine why it’s there. The first step is acknowledging that the elements of nature are a definite necessity in your life and naturally move from there to find the way that you can best feel part of it.

Are you over complicating things? I was at our local Whole Foods Market® for a networking meeting. I drank a cup of tea (I’m not a coffee drinker) as a small group of us talked about our businesses and exchanged ideas. After the meeting we said our goodbyes, I grabbed my empty cup and went to toss my trash. That’s when things got confusing. Was my empty cup plastic since it had a plastic lid on it? I wondered if it was compostable because of the tea bag? Was it co-mingled? All I could think of is that this “should” be so easy and it was so difficult.

They say that the eyes are the window to the soul, and I believe this to be true. Don’t we all look at someone’s eyes to gauge whether they’re happy, sad, confused, fearful or surprised, etc? Of course, we do, and not one of us is immune to each one of these emotions at certain times in our lives. It’s no surprise I see many different people in my work and each person comes with the expression of sadness in their eyes. Their demeanor and outward appearance may seem fine to someone who only sees the surface, but I want them to know that I see them… really see them.
