Use EFT To Get a Divorce From Your Parents

When it's time for the holidays or a family reunion do you cringe at the thought, but go anyway? Your mom will find fault with your hair, your job or the way you are bringing up your kids. Your dad might pick a fight with you or boast about how much money your brother makes while you are barely getting by. You know that you will have a terrible time and perhaps eat too much or drink to dull the pain. When I ask clients to tell me who in their life has had the most negative effect on them that is still a problem, the majority replies either mom or dad.

Creative Imagination: 3 Ways To Unleash Your Creative Imagination

As children, we had a very creative imagination. All we needed was our bed and we became pirates on a legendary vessel. Add a couple of stuffed toys and we had a full blown tea party. But that energy and imagination disappeared when we grew up. It wasn't as if we wanted it to disappear though. Real life simply took over. But more and more people are now recognizing the benefits of having a wonderful imagination at work. Apparently, it makes us efficient problem solvers and critical thinkers.

How Narrowing Your Niche Market Can Help Your Business

One of the most common mistakes small business owners make is in trying to be generalists. Instead of focusing on a single area of expertise, they try to be all things to all people. The result is that their advertising and marketing efforts are spread too thin, they are trying to service too broad a customer base, and they are unable to deliver superlative products and services. It may seem counterproductive, when all you are doing is trying to get as much business as possible, but narrowing your focus down to a niche market can actually make your business more successful.

How to develop a positive state of mind when trading Forex

The common misconception is that the market can be a little bit like a betting playground but the truth is completely the opposite. One of the main reasons why traders fail (especially new traders) is because of lack of discipline. This discipline can be broken down into a few categories such as confidence, money management, following the rules, loss management and m

Is Spiritual Travel Fun?

There seems to be the conception that taking a "spiritual journey" (whatever that means to you) is "work". Nobody wants to work on a vacation. That's why we take a vacation in the first place, to get "away from it all" for awhile, to escape. We seem to frame the concepts of spiritual and personal growth with thoughts like: "I need to do this" or "I should do that" because "it would be good for me". With those ideas as a background, it's no wonder that so many of us think of spiritual and personal growth as "work".

Self Realization: How to Have an Instant Shift in Consciousness

"The mind functions by defining. And through definitions boundaries are created, separation is created. There is this body that is me and everything else that is not me. So you experience something the mind defines as pain in your chest and that pain is separate from you. It is something that is happening to you. It is alien to you and a threat to you and therefore something must be done about it. This is the natural process of the mind. It is how the physical body survives. Most people try and approach meditation from this mind perspective.

When Worry Lasts Too Long It's Anxiety!

It doesn't matter if you became anxious when you started a job or what the occasion was, at some point in your life you have been anxious. Becoming anxious for certain events is something that happens to every one of us, even people who don't have an anxiety disorder. The difference is that for people without constant anxiety in their lives, the fear of unknown situations generally moves on and life goes on. For people with anxiety however, this worry can turn into an anxiety disorder if left unchecked.

What do you think of people who are detached from reality? People that are seemingly living in a world of their own making? It’s unnerving to say the least as well as truly sad. Yet for those of us attempting to recover from a divorce, our inability to fully accept our new reality is not too far removed from living in a fantasy world. Non-acceptance of what our life is right here and now is the biggest obstacle to letting go and moving on after divorce. Initially I believe this is due to denial, which is part of the grieving phase that follows any major loss in life.
