Between The Ears “Life is a game played on a 5 inch course, the distance between your ears” As well move into a new year, the above statement is worth remembering, only because it is true. It is adapted from a quote Bobby Jones made about golf. I am often struck by the similarities between golf and life, and how many lessons learned through gold apply to life today. So what is 2011 going to be for you? To do the same thing repeatedly expecting a different outcome is, to me, the best simple definitio I know for insanity.r

Ever wanted to get more B2B leads? That sounds like a very daunting task to those who are not ready for it. But none of us are really ready for it, right? That is why we need to hire someone else to properly do the job. This is where a competent telemarketing team becomes even more important. Finding the right team for the job can be a really trying exercise. You need to be sure that the people you hire have the capability to produce the B2B leads that you require. Doing so w

The following tips are only valid if reviewed repeatedly because they are easily forgotten as we get busy ‘living’. They are clustered here mainly so that you can get a handle on them one at a time rather than try to decipher a whole book of philosophy or theories which leaves you lost and ...

My intention for the week was to feel replenished and to fill up my depleted reserves with the juice of the universe so that when I coached and as I lived, I would be of service rather than just going through motions, half asleep. Invitations to do other things tempted; a trip here, a party ...

First of all: Laugh out loud! When was the last time you had a really good belly-laugh? I mean the one where you are shaking uncontrollably with laughter and the tears are streaming down your face? I'm guessing that, for most of us, it's been a while. When we grow out of childhood, there don't seem to be that many things we find uncontrollably funny. So let's go find some! Make a note of five things that make you laugh out loud. For me that would include: Laurel & Hardy movies; Tom & Jerry cartoons; Bob Newhart video clips, Monty Python and Irish comedia Dara O'Briain.

Life is always changing. When life throws you changes that you like, they are usually easy to deal with and you look forward to the change. Changes that are indifferent to you are usually easy to cope with as well and you usually just go with the flow. But, how about the changes in life that you dread or that are unexpected; how do you handle those? Job loss is probably one of the most stressful changes in a person’s life today, especially now in the US. However, by looking at the situation differently, job loss doesn’t have to be stressful.

Destiny isn't something created by the cunning to lead the clueless --it does exist. Leadership: A Call to Greatness

By the age of 45, I was divorced and depressed with two children to support by myself. I was working in a job as an office temp in Melbou e and was barely managing to survive. I felt I couldn’t have been more in debt or less successful. I understood I needed to move forward somehow yet I’d forgotten how. I was so used to being married and being looked after I’d forgotten that I was in charge of my own life. Before the age of 30 I was a dancer and an actress. Now stuck in a de

If you are currently in a relationship, it's likely that you feel sure you are in love with your partner. But do you sometimes wonder too if it's real love that you feel or just mere attachment.

TAKING PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY S...t happens; there is no doubt that this is true in my life and yours. We have no control over most things exte al to ourselves! What happens to us is not as important as how we respond. From my friends at Hazelton, a great way to look at things. Read and think.r

Actually it is not really a story about trains. Although it tells about them. Do you remember being the first time at a railway station? Well, the first time ever, I mean.

For those who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or ADHD, keeping themselves focused and efficient in their jobs can be very difficult. The distractibility, restlessness, and limited attention span can have severe effects on how a person performs at work. If you have this condition, you may of course rely on medication. But there are certain things you could also do to boost your concentration at work so you may be more productive. Having life coaching sessions with an expert could truly help as well. Here are some tips on how you can stay focused at work:

A NEW YOU IN 2012? READY FOR CHANGE? Here we are, 9 days in to a new year and most things back to normal. By now, a majority of people who have made resolutions have broken themr As you looked at a new year, what changes have you committed to make in how you live? More importantly, how are you going to make them? What has held you back? Winston Churchill once said, “I’m always ready to learn, although I don’t always like being taught.” Can you relate?r

How many times have you made up your mind to do something you really desired to accomplish but came up against much discouragement from friends and family? You decide to quit your high-paying job with paid company benefits in pursuit of your dream career only to be met with a thunderous chorus ...

Patience is something that many of us find very hard to acquire or develop, perhaps because it is way too easy to just be impatient. But do you know that when you lose control of your patience, you hurt not only the people around you, but yourself as well? Impatience can cause your stress levels to increase, which we all know can be very unpleasant and harmful to us. What’s worse, not having patience can ruin your relationships with other people. What we are going to discuss here are some strategies that will help you become more patient.

Having problems and challenges in life is something we all face at one time or another. For most people, problems drag them way down emotionally and almost completely drain the life energy out of them. But it doesn't have to be that way. By making a few simple adjustments in the way you view and react to your life's problems, you can quickly be on your way to eliminating the dilemma and living a better, healthier and happier life. It all starts by making a small "shift" in your attitude towards problem solving.

How do most of you define failure? Does it bring up a negative feeling? Or, can you think of it in terms of being useful in getting you where you want to go? What if I told you that only you have the power to decide whether or not something is indeed, a "failure". Let's assume for all practical ...

Choose a stressless lifestyle? That's very easy to say. Yet it is so important. Our health should be our # 1 priority. We all know that, and still we keep hearing about yet another work mate who is now on the sick-list for several weeks to come. The book stores are filled with books on stress ...

I am Just a Human Being I have been thinking about this a lot over the past year and I am wondering if anyone else feels this way. Are you tired of always being put into certain categories? For example, I am a 62 year old, so the government will categorized me into a Senior Citizen, a Caucasian, a Male, Middle Class, White Collar, a College Grad and who knows what other categories that I would fit into, according to the Government. When will I be listed as just a Human Being?

I only have to look at a Hershey bar ….. People who say, “ I can eat anything I want and I never put on any weight” are right aren’t they? So are those who say, “I only have to look at a Hershey bar and I gain pounds!” What is it that you are saying about your body and the way you look? The beliefs we have about ourselves are so powerful that they can actually shape our reality.

The holidays can be the most stressful time of year. There is travel, family, friends, presents, decorations, work deadlines, too much food, and not enough time! This year we have the added pressure of an economic crisis. All the while, TV keeps telling us that this is “the most wonderful ...

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.

Just before I took my training in NLP I had a one of those brains that constantly switched a positive assertion into a unfavorable one. My childhood years full of sarcastic and harsh critical remarks had led me to think that to be cynical was to be wise. This mind-set towards myself and others was like a wealth-repellent for most of my entire life. I was so destroyed by an upbringing where I was belittled on a daily basis that I could not even take a compliment without saying

AM I INSANE? I had not thought this question out very well back in the 90’s. While I did crazy things, the life I was living would have indicated that at times I was nuts, but no one would have considered me insane. I had a responsible job, a family, a home, two or more cars, no debt, volunteered time to causes, etc. Yet a voice inside kept saying “Keith your nuts” and I fought it. Sure I drank too much at times and drugged some, sure I used other people to make me feel good; but then, wasn’t this “normal” for people in my position? The voice inside said “NOT”.r

The occasional missed night's sleep may make you feel tired the next day, but it won't harm your health. However, if you frequently miss sleep this can lead to:nn* Prolonged bouts of tirednessn* Difficulties in concentrating and lack of productivity in daily tasksn* Irritability or anxietyn* ...

When one sets out to build and strengthen their relationship with their Self, it’s very much like building a new relationship with a potential significant other. Think about it. When you first begin dating someone new, you are on your best behavior, sure to only say nice things and use your best manners. You treat them kindly and with generosity and sweetness. That is of course, if you want to see them again. Let’s agree for the sake of this conversation that you will want to spend more time with your Self, OK?

In a recent Coaching event, I used this article as a key for understanding and reference. I worked with a team of writers, that for many reasons had not moved ahead from the place of having an idea on paper to the stage of actual manifestation of a written product. I found through our session that there was a common attitude and feeling; FEAR. I would like to revisit an article written a few years ago to remind readers that success is a part of our destiny. Success is right were you are!

Over the past 20 years plus I've work with thousands of men. Over these years men have confided in me about the traumas they experienced, the addictive behaviors they engaged in to numb these traumatic experiences, and the sex they dived into to escape their fears around intimacy and trust. Many of these same men, like myself, were running away and simultaneously attempting to gain 'control' over their lives.

All of my life I have been an exceptional sportsman and in fact, in my twenties and 30's I made a fantastic income and name for myself as a champion weight-lifter as well as an Iron Lady. Then, in my mid-thirties a slipped disc in my back meant a change of career. Quite quickly I found myself working as a fitness coach at a super-deluxe gym with very well-heeled but quite heavy clientele. As I aided these overweight women to whip their bodies back into shape I noticed a few

How do you love the work that you do? So often the work that you are doing doesn’t feel like it is necessarily your life’s purpose. And yet, you were drawn to this work. If you’re interested in finding work that is your life purpose, and you don’t feel like you are there yet, there is a way to get there. You need to actually begin to accept, appreciate, and honor the work that you do.

This is a discussion and topic that has been coming up a lot lately…at least it seems that way anyway. So what’s the difference between an intention and a goal? Aren’t they one in the same? Not really, but they are related and intertwined with one another. I like to think of an intention as the ...

Tonight is my first night out with a mom's group. As a single mom, I haven't done much since having my baby. I don't really know what to expect. I know I shouldn't have any expectations, but it's hard not to when you are going into an unfamiliar situation. I don't know any of the ladies that will be there, and just like anyone else, I'm a bit nervous.

December is a complex time of the year for many of us. It is a time of blessings and celebration but for many it is a time of loneliness and sadness fueled by anger or grief. My experience of joy and celebration at this time of year is always colored by the fact that my dear mother passed away at Christmas time. Even though it was over 40 years ago, I can still feel a twinge of sadness. I don’t mind.

As a Life Coach, this is where I find people. Great lives born out of negative pasts. If your past sucked, then you benefited and your life is better today because of it. Having a negative childhood is almost always the best thing that ever happens to someone. The contrast you experience gives you new desires, new ideas, and the energy you need to create the life you want. The negative past is a catalyst for profound change. In that way, it is great!! But your unwillingness to accept it and appreciate it becomes a barrier to the next level of happiness and peace.

As you change jobs and even careers, you will come to a realisation that people really come in many different colors. Many work as hard as you do and are even kind-hearted. Of course, you enjoy being and working with them. Unfortunately, there are also those who have negative personalities. The worst kind of people you will come across are the backstabbers.

A number of years ago "Jeff" came to me feeling shut down. He was in his early 50s, and felt nothing in his entire pelvic floor and stated he felt his feet were like wood, numb. He also reported feeling very little sensations throughout his body. He was partnered with a man about 20 years younger than himself. There was no sexual life between them. Jeff also was in recovery for over 20 some years. He reported to me that, since he entered recovery, he gradually began to feel numb all over.

MAKING A TOUGH DECISION No apologies to anyone. I believe that the "12 Steps" are a great model for good mental hygiene for EVERY HUMAN BEING. Have people had success dealing with a myriad of addictions using the steps? You bet they have. 12 step programmes have played a role in millions of people recovering from addiction. I can tell you first hand from client results; the foundation of the steps has helped not only "addicted" clients find a better life, but has helped clients suffering from chronic depression, self-esteem issues and a constant state of procrastination.
