“…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 don’t take the time to ask their opinions and suggestions. As time goes by they will eventually think that you don’t need their input at all, and they would rather let you make all the decisions, even if they can clearly see that you’re 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.

Growing up in New York City and living in Boston for a while, I couldn't help but notice how many office buildings were lit up like Christmas trees all night long. Even as a kid, this seemed extremely wasteful. Who needed all of those lights at night after the cleaning staff was gone, the mice? And, what about all of those copy machines, faxes, computers, water coolers, refrigerators, etc. that were left plugged in when nobody was using them? Very wasteful indeed.

Why hire a Fearless Living Life Coach? Because we make life easier. Back in the old caveman days, there wasn’t much stress beyond basic survival. For survival, primitive humans relied on their amygdala. This primal part of the brain thinks in black-and-white; either the caveman was safe or in ...

I understand. You're not a perfectionist. You're just picky. Or 'hard on yourself'. Or you 'have high standards'. Or you like things to be done properly. Guess what? * If you're emails, tweets & Facebook posts are free of spelling mistakes, you just might be a perfectionist. * If you noticed the typo in the previous sentence, you might just be a perfectionist. * If you get frustrated fast when you are learning a new skill and haven't quite got the hang of it yet, you just might be a perfectionist.

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”nn –Dale Carnegie As you know, it is a new year! The year 2006! Every year more than 90% of americans come up with New Year’s ...

Do you ever take the time to think about the relationship between your body and your mind? The human body that you have is an amazing creation. Each day thousands of old cells die off and thousands of new cells are made. Scientists have discovered that each new cell is vibrant and alive and ...

Everyone has some regrets in life. What differs is how people deal with them. When you regret something you did – or didn’t do – in the past, do you engage in wistful Coulda Woulda Shoulda thinking? Do you fret about how things might have turned out differently ‘if only’ you would have taken a different course of action? If so, you’re hurting yourself.

You Are Special and Unique As I do my coaching thing, there is one thing that is a mainstay. Each of us is special and unique. Each of us has talents, and each of us is capable of setting goals and achieving them. I am a recovered person from addictions who is constantly recovering. This ...

"The Choice is Yours." The previous statement is one that is so often forgotten, especially when it comes to the business of living life. In the midst of the daily grind that most people move through, with the competing demands of work schedules, family commitments, personal needs and perceived wants, it's easy to abdicate responsibility, simply allowing "life" to dictate how things unfold.

"Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two, stands Resistance." ~ Steven Pressfield (Author - The War of Art) Imagine what your life would be like if you had followed through on every inspired idea you have ever had. I don’t mean those half-baked ideas like proposing a naked office day or taking a chainsaw to the roof of your car because you can’t quite afford that convertible yet! I mean the INSPIRED ideas that you were convinced would improve your life, or the lives of others, in a significant way.

So what actions can you take today to immediately take advantage of the power of gratitude? The first thing that I’d recommend is something that I recommend to all of my coaching students when they come to me. That is the 10/10 visualization process. I’ve coached 8,000 people over the years, and most of them have come to me in some sort of stuck state. That’s generally where people come to me. They’re stuck in some way, and one of the quickest ways to get unstuck is through a process of gratitude and visioning, and that’s what the 10/10 visualization is.

Worship-to love and admire; Deliverance-to give birth to; to bring to one's destination; Healing-to become well. This is my divine formula for spiritual well being and, if it worked for King David, it will work for you. David was a man who faced alot of adversity and enemies who afflicted alot of wounds upon his spirit

Do you want it all? Most people do but just don’t know how to go about it. They are either too lazy to go after it or just don’t care anymore. Wouldn’t you love to have all the money you ever needed, a great relationship, a beautiful home or homes, having a career that you love and feeling great everyday.

If you want to make life improvements, what you believe about life may be your biggest stumbling block. As a self empowered person working to build a better life you may need to adopt the saying that believing is seeing. If you're a person who believes that seeing is believing, you may be ...

By exploring the following points and answering the questions, you will gain clarity on who you are and what type of career would suit you the most. 1) Your True Naturer Who are you at your core? Uncover the natural talents that you were born with. What comes easy for you? What can you naturally do well?

While it is usually very easy for hiring managers to determine just what the wrong questions to ask during an interview are it can be much harder for them to come up with the right ones. Asking effective interview questions is a skill that every great hiring manager has to possess though, as a resume only ever tells half of a candidate’s story. Here are five great questions that can help a hiring manager get a much clearer picture of who the person sitting across from them really is and how suitable they might be for the position they are applying for:r

Fear is an emotion that is biologically wired into our brains. It protects us from danger and death. Fear is a necessary emotion that helps us live in this world. Unfortunately, we do not need this emotion as much as we actually experience it. When the fear response turns on in reaction to the ...

As a Life Balance Expert and Personal Development Life Coach, one questio I am frequently asked is "How can I bring greater peace, happiness and balance into all areas of my life?" For many, having a well-rounded balanced life may seem like a dream, but the fact is anyone, including you, can ...

Forgiveness is a miraculous act that serves as a release valve that propels us forward into a new life after divorce. To forgive is to be truly free, to be unencumbered by the past. The problem or challenge with forgiveness is that it is very difficult and oftentimes near impossible for us to go there, especially if we are leaving an abusive relationship of some sort. How can we forgive really bad behavior? How can we forgive someone who has wronged or betrayed us? There are two important elements of forgiveness: what it is and what it gives to us.

How has your career affected the rest of your life? Are you happy when you go home and ready to connect with your family? The answers to those questions usually lie in your personal, work-life balance. The ability to manage your job duties with other aspects of your life such as health, hobbies, and family can have a large impact on your success and overall sense of fulfillment. People tend to feel discontent or stress when even one area of their work-life balance is off.

Training in NLP Changed My Life Before I took training in NLP my entire life was a mess. That was mainly because I couldn't make a single move in my life without “taking a poll” or asking a close friend what they thought I should do. I had absolutely no belief in myself to make a good choice and for that purpose alone would avoid making critical choices that could have had a significant impact on the quality of my life. The end result was a life that has been steered by othe

Isn't it strange when you find an old file that you wrote years ago and do not remember writing it. I recently found this e-male to my philosophy professor when I was preparing to write my dissertation on emotion.It is almost a defining moment without my realizing it! He replied asking what drugs I was using because he wanted some!He said it would take him years to discuss the subjects, hmh that's philosophers for you!Anyway I thought I would publish it to see if any philosophers out there can tell me why? Hi Bob, It is 6.52 am on a Sunday and my mind is working already.

Often people contemplate a change of career with some trepidation, holding fears such as: - Will I be able to achieve what I am aiming for?rn- What if I don’t earn enough money?rn- Will I regret my decision? One common tool for helping you to decide whether you are right in wanting to change jobs is for you to draw up a list of costs and benefits of making the decision to make a big leap into a new career.

I’d like to invite you to release your body fascination, so that you can become a happier human being. Your body is a part of the earth. It’s doing whatever it’s doing. You can certainly manipulate it into different forms, that’s for sure. We’ve seen people become stunning bodybuilders. We’ve seen models sculpt their body and adjust it so that they can be more beautiful for the photographs or movies that they’re in. You can certainly do that.

Many of you probably read the recent story about the atto ey who sued his law firm, claiming his boss demanded that he attend the ManKind Project’s New Warrior Training Adventure, a weekend workshop for men, and penalized him when he refused. I won’t comment on the merits of the suit, or the specifics of the workshop (I haven’t taken it). I think the press coverage, and what it says about our culture’s attitudes toward self-development and sexuality, raise much more interesting issues. This Is Headline News?

Christmas and the end of the year are perfect reasons for making a wish list. We look back at the past year and often realise what we still miss in our lives. We think of a better future and how fortunate others are. We might even dream of more money, a better job, less weight, a different house, or eventually a ...

As time moves on in this 21st century what was once a taboo idea of dating on-line with the internet has now become acceptable it’s quick, easy and accessible to all providing you have internet connection and the time to go surfing. Well so it would seem! Any one can join any site fill out a profile and go fishing but be warned it's not as easy as you might think for many reasons and here are just a few you might want to consider. People are people, which means every one has a very different idea or agenda of what the site is meant to do or deliver.

Many years ago I was crying on the shoulder of one of my dear, wise friends about... what else... a man I'd been dating who'd done me wrong. She let me go on for a while as I told her in graphic detail about this latest in his history of being a rat. And I reminded her of several instances in the past when he'd exhibited his ability to be a complete you-know-what. After I'd described, with great emotion, six or ten of these incidents, she held up her hand to stop me.

If you knew with complete certainty that you were going to take your last breath tomorrow what would you do? Would you call all of your loved ones? Would you make amends? Would you spend some time thinking about everything you wish you had done in your life? We all have dreams and visions of ...
