Yes Don't Mean a Thing, If You Can't Say NO

What does saying yes have to do with saying no? After all, they are opposite statements, meaning diametrically opposing things. We are “supposed” to say yes to friends, family, loved ones and especially...the Universe! Isn't that the secret behind the Secret? And we should say no to things like drugs, smoking and requests from our teenagers begging to go to wild parties. Why are most of us so wishy-washy when it comes to making commitments? Just look at the divorce rate as an example.

Most problems we face as adults are not adult problems

They are unfinished business from childhood. In several decades of working in the mental health field, I've learned that when people look for help, the most common areas are: relationships, career, and personal performance. Specifically, they are issues like self-esteem, fears of being abandoned, insecurities, dependencies, being controlled by others, and never getting to the point of deciding who we want to be when we grow up. What I've found most useful is to look at the groupings of client issues as related to specific challenges we all began facing in childhood.

Where Does Self Esteem Come From?

We all want an abundance of self esteem. And why not? Self esteem equates to confidence, being attractive (without having to fake it), and being a magnet for success, wealth, popularity, and a whole host of other goodies. The Law Of Attraction requires a genuine core of self esteem before it swings into action, bringing whatever we desire to us without our having to lift a finger. We don't have to earn what comes to us when we have lots of self esteem. It comes to us as a cosmic gift. But if we don't already have that core, can we generate it by positive thinking? Not really!

Barbie's For Boys....Why Not?

A 12 ” blonde- haired perfectly proportioned piece of perfection. Gaggles of girls would flock together with their representations of themselves in tow. These dolls provided the opportunity to socialize and play in a group setting.

Why Motivation Doesn't Work (Sometimes)

It's like the story about the horse pulling a heavy cart with the proverbial carrot dangling in front and a whip at the ready behind. He turns to the driver and asks, “Tell me again. What's my motivation here?” How motivation usually works is like when we were kids and mom would tell us to clean our rooms. We had two options, for the most part—compliance or defiance. Either way, who had the motivation about our rooms being cleaned? Us or our moms? Fast forward to the present. How much has changed? Not much.

Awareness the key to Enlightenment

Awareness is probably the most powerful tool that you have to progress in your quest for understanding. Awareness is primarily the tool of the unconscious and the universe, and the ego can also use this tool. Simply put, awareness is just being aware, that’s all. Too often we bypass awareness and presume, criticize, judge and apply meaning and when we do this, we create an artificial reality, an illusion. In fact most of our lives are illusions. Awareness is staying still in the moment and when we become aware of something. Stop and stay there. Stay in awareness.

Usually when we hear the phrase “come to your senses”, we often think of using our mind and thoughts more correctly. Instead of using just the mind, how about dropping into the senses of the smells, colors, sounds, and feelings of this moment.
