“The most pathetic person in the world is a person who has their sight but no vision.” Helen Keller. The first step toward success is always simple. It may not be easy – there is a difference, of course; but it is simple. You have to know where you want to go. Success requires a map, a vision of your ideal … life, weight, relationship, job or vacation. If you want to succeed, you must first figure out where you are going. You will never arrive at your destination, your destiny, if you never decide where you want to go.

If you hear or are told outright by your employer that some jobs have to go and yours “might” be one of them, what can you do about it? It’s a worrying prospect for many who rely on their regular income to cover mortgages, car loans, school fees, food bills, and all the other expenses of ...
If you’re someone who hates waking up early in the morning, then it must be a real struggle for you to get out of bed and start the day right after sunrise. Well, waking up in the morning is a tough challenge even for a morning person actually. Below are some tips we hope you find useful if you’re trying to be efficient during your morning routine so that you may avoid getting late for school, work or any of your appointments. 1. Avoid hitting the snooze button.
What would you do if your parent asked you to move back home to help with managing the household because your other parent was ill? What if you lost your job and couldn’t find a new one? What if a combination of factors-including but not limited to the recession, economy and life issues-created circumstances that meant your best choice was moving back home as a 40-something or 50 –something adult? A client of mine is dealing with this precise issue. She was contacted by her
Business the way out Not too long ago, I discussed the United States' deterioration with friends of mine. I had expressed that we are no longer the world’s greatest country, and that upset them. As I presented valid reasons to support my thoughts, I started to realize that most of society feels the same way. They do not realize what is truly happening in the realm of mankind. At one point during our chat, one of my friends mentioned that whatever happens in our Nation’s capital does not affect her. I believe she feels this way because she’s a
Good news. Your brain is not unchangeable. You can play with it, even grow new cells, create new circuits, remap attitudes. Suddenly, the new- ageish motto that you can be whatever you want to be, holds new scientifically meanings. Your brain and it's interaction with environment creates your ...
“When I used to hear stories about men beating up their wives, I figured the wives were cheating around. I never, ever, heard my father raise his voice to my mother, so this was foreign to me. What goes on behind closed doors is someone’s own business, right?” – Dr. Gayle J. Hall, (my thoughts in the 70’s and 80’s) before I became knowledgeable.
A lot of personal development teachers and motivational guru’s like to drill home that the key to success is ‘State Management’, i.e. your ability to manipulate your physical and emotional being so that you are constantly aligned with success producing thoughts and actions.
The meaning of life is life itself, which for us human beings means to give birth to that which is alive within us. This we need to uncover since we have lost our awareness over that which is real and true within ourselves. As we are all are unique human beings we come equipped with a wide ...
Simple : Just keep doing what you are doing. Manifesting is not think and wait. When Law of Attraction is moving successfully in your life, you are in action. You are alive. You are inspired.
Many busy women overeat when they are stressed, too busy, or overwhelmed. Eating as a way to calm down is a common form of emotional eating. On my website, I gave a list of three things to stop doing so that you could start taking control of this type of overeating. Now it’s time to fill in the gaps. Here are three things to start doing instead. 1. Do get into the habit of asking yourself how you are feeling before you eat. Create a ritual of checking in with yourself before you reach for a snack, stop by the vending machine, or serve up your plate.
If the current economic climate has you putting thoughts of work-life balance on hold in favor clinging to your job because it may seem the “safe” thing to do, I challenge you to shift your perspective around that. If we’ve learned anything in the past few months, it’s that what was once considered “safe” is no longer necessarily so. All bets are off, so to speak and the old tried and true ways of the past no longer work in this new world.
Self-improvement is an essential part of life planning, but understanding what it even means and actually applying it to your own life, can be difficult. There are so many things you can do and plan for to make changes to your life that it can be overwhelming. I want to offer you some steps that will hopefully make your journey that much easier.

On August 5th, TV Land premiered “How’d You Get So Rich?” hosted by the legendary comedian, Joan Rivers. I finally caught up with the show. You have to watch this show! She goes around asking wealthy people how they made their money. Now, be warned, it is Joan Rivers and there is a lot of bling and flash. I did not care for going through wealthy people’s homes but the concept of the show is amazing. The first person on the show is a lady. She is in her fifties, and she is divorced.
We are each born with a purpose to fulfill during our lifetimes. It is something that we tend to have a natural attraction and aptitude for. When we do that thing, time stands still. We do it because we love it, and we love it as we do it. It is our passion, our life's work and our life's purpose. Unfortunately, many of us allow that passion to be covered up. Lack of support from family and friends, taking a different route in life, or lack of belief that we can be successful often stop us from doing it.
"PTSD is the fear controlling you. Exposing your fear is controlling your PTSD!" – Anthony Parsons. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, otherwise known as PTSD, is defined as a condition in which a person experiences enduring physical or psychological symptoms after an extremely stressful event or series of events. In World War I, this problem was known as Shell Shock. During World War II, this was called Combat Fatigue. Now, it is known as PTSD.
What you need is to have a plan, a goal and know what you want. Now even that part might sound easy but it’s actually the hardest part. Because this is your foundation to your success. Like a house built on an uneven and rocky surfaces, no matter how great the house is its self,it will ...
As mentioned in my last article, “obstacles cause us to lose momentum as we are trying to achieve our visions and goals. They often make us feel stuck. And sadly, the longer we feel stuck, the more likely we are to give up on whatever it is we were striving towards.” There are two kinds of ...
The new internet radio show with Coach Steve Toth, “Be a Radio Show Superstar,” guides people to success in creating an internet radio show. “Cash is King and content is Queen,” he said. A radio show must produce both.
Yesterday, I had a mentoring session with a fellow coach, and attended my online class. Funny how you hear things when you should (if you listen) and how one thought can lead into another. Yesterday I gave thought to benchmarking progress along the journey and how hard it can be to recognize ...
Worry is a misuse of imagination. Dan Zadra What I have learned from life and coaching is that most people spend more time worrying about troubles than actually thinking of preventing them from happening, or handling them positively after they do. Additionally, what I have learned from my Emotional Intelligence training and research into the brain science is that the tiny amygdala glands, located at the back of our brains, are responsible for having us react to physical as well as non-physical threats in a similar way, and sometimes in the same severity.
Many of my clients ask me how they discover their life purpose. It took some time to really think through how I can communicate how you go about discovering your life purpose because it has been an intuitive process for me. First, understand that you have a wealth of wisdom within. Second, understand that you are hungry for more direction in your life. That is why you are on this quest. Third, understand that everything you want, need or desire is available to you in full abundance.
Who am I? What is my purpose in life? How can I find happiness? At some point in our lives we all find ourselves asking these questions. The answers come from a deeper level I call “spiritual.” To me, spiritual unfoldment means recognizing and expressing the divine nature in each of us. ...
Resentments can kill As we look at making amends, I was reminded again today about resentments. If I’m ever going to return to my old ways of dealing with the less pleasant side of life, it will likely be due to a resentment that I allow to remain unresolved. If my head is an apartment ...

“…but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.” Voltaire May Rep. Gabrielle Giffords recover. May the families of the injured and dead in Pima County, Arizona find peace and renewal. May we all resolve to promote non-violence and mutual respect. As a hypnotherapist, I find my contention that language is inherently hypnotic to be confirmed in sad and tragic ways in the news on a daily basis. This most recent tragedy is forcing us to look at the level of violence we have cultivated in our political dialogue and at our growing tendency to demonize those we disagree with.r

Let’s face it, everyone benefits from a daily dose of laughter. It is no joke that laughter is good for a person’s overall health and well-being. Laughter is a physiological reaction to an inward state of joy. The emotional release that it provides signals acceptance and connects people to one another. Laughter is a social activity that is instantly contagious. It only takes one person to initiate a wave of laughter that lightens the overall mood of a group.
I've got some big dreams I'd love to see happen. I bet you do too. I'd love to share my thoughts with you about some basic keys to success which I've been applying to my life in order to make those dreams a reality. These days, these "secrets" are becoming less of a secret. However, how to ...
Yesterday was a bad day. It’s OK to have bad days, because night comes and you sleep, and hope that the following new day is better. So, I was sad for a bit, and angry at myself, and cried a lot. I gave myself permission to be upset for a while, and that was ok. But then I heard from a wonderful lady (Anne) that her granddaughter had tragically died the day before. What do you say to someone who this happens to? I was so stunned. I offered myself, my time, if she wants it. I
A DUCK? WHO ME? One of the joys of living in the times we do is the internet. It gives us a huge access to information and people. Through the site www.myrecoveryspace.com, I have had the good fortune of befriending Dennis S. in the Califo ia desert. Dennis writes a lot of things I can relate to and learn from. But it is the way he “paints a picture” that I really love. Today, I’ll see if I’ve learned anything from Dennis.r
You know that you need to improve the performance of your lead generation team . That is why you have to be clear in your quality control as well as your training of lagging personnel. This is more apparent when telemarketing is used. By the way, the reason we are focusing on telemarketers is because this is the most important vehicle in reaching to business prospects. Of course, while we do have a good vehicle, we still have to deal with the people running it. We have to mak
Ok so the answer to your marriage is a divorce! A divorce from what? As strange as this question may sound I need you to analyze what it is you are actually divorcing. You see when you mention divorce the first thing that naturally springs to mind is “I am divorcing the other person” but are you? Before you answer this question or even if you have already done so in your mind consider this.
Did you know by smiling to the count of 60 - your energy/vibration can raise? I suppose this notion of mine is purely subjective - perhaps you'll read this and try it for yourself. Many years ago I learned by having visuals, (i.e., pictures) to trigger my inner happy button, I could raise my energy (also known as change my mood) - it's been a very effective tool. As time and more tools learned, this application of smiling to the count of 60 became a routine part of my day. I really like how it works. The two different applications of a smile: I'm counting ...
Understanding how and why seasonal color analysis can enhance your life through helping you to make the best color choices is worth finding out about! Without it, even the simplest task of choosing what clothes to wear can sometimes take you forever, and even then you are not sure that they are right for you. Color analysis plays a large part in every area of our lives: From waking up in the morning and looking at the sky, to see if it will be a good day for you, to looking at yourself to see if you look vibrant and healthy or weak and pale.
CAN YOU TURN IT OVER? A small change had started in my life. A journey of transformation had started and I was starting to recover a life I wanted. I had some hope sanity could return to my life. As I worked through the journey as laid out in the 12 steps, I hit something that called for a tough decision. It was a decisio I was not ready for immediately, a decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of this higher power thing.r
The more you stifle the creativity of your people, the less effective they are in doing good b2b sales leads generation  and appointment setting for your business. You often do this when you donât take the time to ask their opinions and suggestions. As time goes by they will eventually think that you donât need their input at all, and they would rather let you make all the decisions, even if they can clearly see that youâre making a big mistake. This is mostly appa
It’s a refrai I hear a lot: “I am SO busy – I just started a business/have a successful business/hate my job and want to start a business/times are tough at work and they just keep piling on the responsibilities and projects – there is so much to do – I can NEVER catch up – my email consumes me – I’m always working but I feel pulled in so many directions – I’m stuck and I don’t know where to begin – I don’t feel like I accomplish what I want to – I’m snacking all the time/overeating/bingeing in the evening – and I’m putting on weight – life feels out of control but I don’t know how to brea
Sometimes in life, we think we are being our authentic self. We get up in the morning, go to work, do what is expected of us and come home and then do what needs to be done and finally relax and go to bed. So many of us, day in and day out play this role 5 days a week and then the weekend comes and we finally get to be who we really are and enjoy.
If the truth shall set you free, then the lies can imprison you in guilt, burden and regret. They come as small as the occasional white lies friends tell each other to as big as the whopper of a lie governments tell their citizens. No matter the size, lies are intended to purposely deceive one into believing something, hide the truth, or both. When we find out we’ve been lied to, we feel victimized. When its been discovered that we’ve lied, we feel like crawling under a rock.
Have you found yourself irritable, overwhelmed, or unable to sleep? If so, its time to ask yourself, ‘Are you stressed out?’ Professionals in the Millennial Generation, ages 20-34, are dealing with the highest levels of stress, which can lead to burnout and other negative side effects. According to the 2013 Stress in America ™ Survey, “39% of Millennials say their stress has increased in the last year.” That is higher than reports from the Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, and Gen-X generations!
As a manager or a business owner, you have the burden of making sure that there is effective communication within your business or company. But this is no easy task at all. Can you actually sleep at night feeling so sure that your staff understood the critical information you shared with them? Do you feel assured that they will produce results according to what you are expecting them to? While it may seem impossible to have a perfect flow of information within your organization, there are things you could do to make sure you could communicate with your people effectively.
“I used my extrovert skills.” “I had to learn some extrovert skills.” “Oh, well, I don’t have extrovert skills.” I hear these phrases all the time – and they drive me crazy. When did the ability to be socially graceful or to display good manners become the sole province of one group of people, one temperament? Good social behavior is within the reach of every human being, no matter how quiet or even shy you may be. As an introvert, you may need to protect yourself from too much stimulation, but you shouldn’t protect yourself from connecting with others.
In the month of February the focus was love. It feels so right to begi March – Spiritual Wellness Month by sharing how taking time out for self-care allows you share the best of yourself with your family and through your business. When you love yourself so much that you like yourself, you are better able to share the best of you with other people. Loving yourself often requires that you evolve even when you don’t feel like it. Your heart knows exactly what you require.
