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?

There are also online sites where you can learn about personality types that can reaffirm your unique nature. 2) Skills-Past Experiencesr

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 ...

Life is good. You see that simple phrase emblazoned on clothing and you can’t help but smile. But life can also be challenging and often gives us a multitude of questions or situations that we don’t know how to handle.

Byron Katie so wisely repeatedly asks her clients: “Who would you be without your story?” This question has fascinated me the moment I heard it. Of course this question can be understood in two ways: One way is who would you be if whatever happened to you in your life (that forms your life story) never happened? The other meaning is the implication of what kind of person you have become as a result of having experienced your story in your life. In this article, I am using this meaning.

Do you feel like you do not have time to accomplish all the things you have on your “to-do list”? Or, are you one of those people who love to leave things for later and in the end, those things never get done making you feel unaccomplished? It probably means that you need to work on improving your time management skills.

"Everyone in this world shares the same innate source of wisdom, but it is hidden by the tangle of our own misguided thoughts." - Sydney Banks One of the coolest things about Transformative Coaching is that it encourages us peek behind the façade of our own story telling. That is, when we are willing loosen our grip a little and stop holding on so tightly to the personal thoughts we have about who we are and the way the world is supposed to work, we allow a space to open up in which we get to see our true nature more clearly.

Getting a job will not make you happy. I know many of you think that it will, but it won’t. In fact, I was reading a survey done by Deliotte Shift. It was a index survey, and they discovered that eight percent of the people who are employed today are dissatisfied with their job. Why? Because happiness is not a set of circumstances, happiness is a skill set that you take on. It’s a set of disciplines. It’s a discipline of being optimistic. That’s a discipline.

To Eat or Not to Eat! We’re constantly surprised at how many people seem oblivious to smart food hygiene practices, simply out of ignorance- unless you’ve been taught these things or learnt through painful food poisoning experiences… most people simply guess what to do with food! Here are some basic tips you can start implementing in your kitchen, to get the best out of food quality, taste, and food safety. Is it safe to eat fruit and veggies with bruises?

Risk- exposure to the chance of injury or loss. How do you feel when you hear the word risk? Do you get butterflies in your stomach, start sweating and feeling uneasy? Or are you calm and composed when thinking about taking risks? It’s natural to have a mental and/or physical response when considering the possibility of losing something. Usually your response is triggered by the knowledge that taking risks involves leaving your comfort zone.

Whoever put together the doctrine of this religion was very astute because people join without even realizing it, support it without even realizing it, spread it without even realizing it. (Of course there are those who do realize they are promoting it, but there are so many unwitting ...

It’s a big shock to realize that no one really cares about your business, at least in the beginning of the process. What people do care about, and want to know, is what your business can do for them. You can imagine that information about how long you have been in business or why you started ...

S.T.E.P. Into Step Parenthood Becoming a stepparent can be a tough role to take on. You are entering a family situation where there was divorce, abandonment or death. The children that may feel neglected, angry, guilty or stay with one parent more than the other. The children may place high ...

The deaths of Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, and pitchma Billy Mayes has many of us seriously thinking about our own mortality. Most of us never consider our own mortality. Our own death is never thought about or discussed. In fact, the American culture is extremely afraid of death – so afraid that we treat it as if it will never happen. We go about each day expecting to awaken the next. While intellectually we know that death will occur for all things living, we act as if death has no hold on us.

Focus On Teen Strengths: Turn What You Love about Your Teen Into a Strong and Lasting Friendship Oh, that Emma, thinks Mum. I can’t believe her. She’s only 15 and all she does is play video games. She used to be so active. Now she won’t try out for sports or join a club at school… She won’t ...

There seems to be an unwritten rule that states if you are going to be taken seriously in the field of personal development as a therapist, coach or trainer, then you have to have been completely screwed up at least once in your life! Well, I’m not convinced that this is absolutely necessary but, to be on the safe, you might be glad to know that, yes, life hasn’t always been as rosy for me as it is right now.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a guide or map to a relationship like a golf course has for a golf hole? The below info or guide I got from a friend on Facebook and wanted to pass it on. Many of my friends really liked it and said that it helped explain why things their past relationships have ended. I hope if you are in the dating world that it can help you make a better decision on a life partner.

In midlife, you find yourself facing multiple events that can be quite overwhelming. Sometimes, because life is so busy, you may not take the time to process grief. If a parent dies, or someone significant, we know to process grief. However, many times other tumultuous events happen and life just goes on. This pattern repeats itself over and over again, especially in midlife. Finally, you are faced with a crisis as you can no longer process your emotions. If you are lucky, you may be aware of what is going on as you have a midlife crisis. This is a time to reinvent your life.

Given the way things are going in this business, it is only natural that you will meet a lot of competition. This is why it is important you take the necessary steps in keeping them. In the course of your lead generation and appointment setting campaign, you will have to do this. After all, current customers are also your business prospects or leads. Now businesses are not just your source in generating sales leads, you also need to talk to current clients since they might

Simplifying Your Life to Increase Your Happiness. I have been doing a lot of reading of late on neuroscience and brain functioning, which are fascinating subjects as I am sure you are thinking as you read this ;-) . One of the things I have been particularly interested in is what over-stimulates the mind and what are some of the things we can do to slow things down a bit and bring more peace and harmony into our lives. I am not sure about you, but I love a bit of peace and harmony in my daily life.

Having been a self-development trainer for many years I have come to the conclusion that when looking at the many life skills that humans need to master in order to mould for themselves a joyous, fulfilling and creative life, accelerated learning skills are probably the most important of all. ...

Counting your blessings each day is essential for positive growth. God/Source/Universe is happy to provide for you as long as you are happy about what you already have. If you are dissatisfied with your current situation, that energy muddles up your intentions. The more dissatisfied you are, the more you get what dissatisfies you. Remember, this is an attraction-based universe.

According to Wikipedia, Meditation is a mental discipline by which one attempts to get beyond the conditioned, "thinking" mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness. It has been defined as: "self regulation of attention, in the service of self-inquiry,in the here and now." When you Google meditation, 118 million results show up. It just goes to show that it must be something people are interested in. I decided to do my own research and read all that I could. But reading is not doing. No amount of reading would have given me the taste of real experience.
