Habits of Mind

Writing is a complex process that cannot be mastered at one go. Even if a person is full of ideas and fresh thoughts, writing them down in a coherent manner can turn out a grueling task. Therefore, learning how to write is a process stretched in time, and it would be naive to think that one can learn it really fast. Of course, much depends on a person’s abilities. Someone can master a certain level faster than another person but, on the whole, one needs to move from simple ma

As a very outgoing, energetic, and talkative woman, I have many times spoken out of turn, and spoken without thinking. I became very proficient in apologizing.

Top 10 Ways to Boost Self-Esteem and Confidence Levels

When I first started researching, I found hundreds of websites and books that tried to teach people how to raise their self-esteem levels. All of them started with the inner voice or the inner critic we all have inside of us. I didn’t believe that silencing that inner critic and turning it into an inner positive self-talk machine was possible, but I’m able to give myself a pep-talk when I need one without feeling odd or even guilty.

How to Build Healthier, Wealthier, and Wiser Habits

What is often disagreed upon is the length of time it takes to break an old habit and the most effective way for doing so.

Too Quiet to Think!

It's too quiet to think! This is what so many of my clients tell me when I ask them to sit in stillness. They are uncomfortable. Fidgety. There is nothing to distract them from the silence.
