My Background From the time I was a young boy, probably from about the age of 5, I was exposed to meditation through my grandfather mainly. I remember being really young, waking up before dawn to the sounds of “Ohms”, other chants and Hindu prayers. I remember waking up, walking half asleep towards where the sounds were coming from, and sitting behind him, watching him as he went through his normal morning ritual.

Have YOU Got Personal Strength?(God Thing) I ask this question for a reason. I am very interested in hearing honest and open answers from other. I am particularly interested in hearing from those who can respond without giving away a particular religious bias. For many years I have known that strength to change and to do the right thing consistently came from a source other than me.

You know we're bombarded with information that offers quick solutions to everyday problems – whether it’s the latest get rich quick idea, take this little pill and change your life, or lose weight without any effort? You know the stuff I’m referring to. Does that mean that we’re all looking for the ‘magic’ to fix what we believe to be wrong with our lives? Since those first homo sapiens stood up and figured out that developing something that we call a wheel would make life ea

THE COURAGE TO CHANGE Courage: The power to let go of the familiar.rn--Raymond Lindquistr Letting go of the familiar really does require courage. Why? Very simply, the thought of change evokes fear. Fear of what? Only YOU can answer for you. Let me pose three very simple questions to you. If they really get you thinking, let’s talk about them. What self esteem issues or addiction related issues are your biggest challenges? What will happen to you and what will it cost you if you don’t deal with them? What do you want instead?r

When it comes to being successful in one's life or career, many of us think that those who are blessed with intelligence or high IQ are the ones who are likely to achieve success. There is new research from Stanford University, however, that challenges this belief. According to psychologist Carol Dweck, a person's attitude is what can better determine his or her success than their IQ. Dweck explains that there are two categories for people's attitudes - a fixed mindset and a growth mindset.

I answered this on Yahoo Answers and I thought you might enjoy my thoughts. “A friend recently introduced me to The Secret: Law of attraction, a concept I found extremely interesting. Upon further research, I found that it is strongly linked with the new thought movement. Both of these concepts believe that everything in our lives is attracted to us via our thoughts, so illness comes from negative thoughts.

BE TRUE TO SELF! And this above all, to thine own self be true. And it must follow as night the day, thou canst not be false to any man.rn--Shakespeare "To thine own self be true." "Live the life you were meant to live." "Be the person you were meant to be." These statements convey a wonderful truth. They form the basic philosophies coaches have about clients - that when we go inside and trust our intuition, life opens before us. When we ignore our inner leanings, however, trouble arises.r

Worrying occurs when you allow your fear based beliefs to spiral out of control. Next, one fearful thought has escalated into a large number of thoughts that will have you believe something terrible is about to happen to you. If you are anything like me, then you have done your fair share of worrying. I’ve had times when I would worry about almost everything, as if all events were somehow under my control. Later in my life I noticed that worry was a big waste of my time and energy. Soon after, I began researching and implementing new ways to manage my worry.

Overcoming Fear to Reach Your Full Potential Have you ever started a project or set out to do something but stopped right in the middle of it or worse, quit before you even got started. Or have you ever envisioned yourself doing something, like speaking in public or owning your own business, but never even tried to go for it? What was stopping you? Why didn’t you just forge forward and begin taking the steps to reach your goal? The answer is fear. Most people don’t even realize they have fear or that fear is the reason they don’t reach their goals and dreams.

The first act (the world of work) has come, or is coming, to its final curtain and you’re left looking out over the empty auditorium seats wondering what’s next. What’s the next act? Thankfully, there are so many options to be had, and if you are like most people in the 50 and over crowd, the rocking chair isn’t the path your jumping with excitement to travel. The question is, which path do you take? What are the possible scenes?

What does your typical day look like? Maybe you’re up at 7am, in the office by 9am, and work all day until you can take a break and leave for the night. If that sounds like how you spend your days, how satisfied are you with your career and relationships? Have you seriously thought about the lifestyle you want and how to get it? People often wonder, ‘Why should I work with a life coach?’ I like to say that coaching is for people who are ready to take their lives to the next level.

Several questions and conce s came in regarding my article ‘Wanting vs. Having: Disabling Hypnotic Language.’ Regarding my statement, " 4) When we stop wanting and start acting as if we have it, the subconscious mind notices our interest in having and stops denying access to the experience of the inner quality, in this example, peace," this conce came in: Questioner: Pretending to myself I have something that I don't have sounds like a recipe for confusion and maybe disappointment!

We are at the right place at the right time. Do you believe that? If you think that you are not then let’s look at this in a different way. I believe that most of us have not moved forward enough because of self-doubt. You don’t believe in yourself, you don’t see yourself doing what you want to do.

HUMILITY: TOUGH CONCEPT Every time I get a good reading focused around humility, it causes me to reflect back. I can remember back to the time when I was sure humility had something to do with humiliation, and gosh knows that my life style had caused enough of that. I was not openly boastful and naturally thought I was a humble man. But give me a compliment, even the most sincerest of compliments and watch how I fumbled. It seemed like the simple response "Thank You" never crossed my mind; I always had a self-defacing response.

The prevailing wisdom is that to be happy, fulfilled and successful, one must discover and pursue one's 'purpose' in life. There are no shortage of self-help books and programs designed to do just that. The problem, however, is that this is utter bunk. Especially for DaVincis -- multi-talented, creative people like you. You have more than one life purpose. Frankly, everyone has more than one purpose on this planet: We serve different purposes at different ages. We serve different purposes through our different talents.

WHO AM I? I can remember those dark days back in 1994 that I really did not know who I was. Have you been there or are you at that point today. I knew the roles that I played, amongst them husband, father, employer, community volunteer, company leader; roles I played on life’s stage like an actor. Some I played much better than others.r

Whether you are going to college, getting married, or changing careers, there are some things that you have to learn to let go of if you want to move ahead. #1 Fear of Failure

DO YOU KNOW YOU? Once we understand ourselves, the rest of living falls in line. What a great line, and makes me ask the question- Do you know you? At first, the initial answer is likely “yes, of course I do”. Funny, way back when, I would have and did react the same way. The biggest turning point in my life occurred when I finally realized I did not know myself very well. I knew things about me of course, but really couldn’t define who I was as a person.

A man I know had an accident one autumn as he was working in the woods. The leaves had fallen to the ground and the rain had fallen on the leaves. Wet leaves are very slippery, and this man knew that, but on a slope he lost control, fell and broke his right leg. He was lucky to have ...

According to a saying, putting two people in a room is the beginning of politics. Social stratification is part of every society, and even of the smallest organizations. Without a doubt, the workplace is one where you can find the biggest pressure, especially in terms of getting titles, higher positions, and especially leadership roles. While there is no way you can avoid office politics, you can choose not to participate in any of it. These are the things you can do: 1. Choose a workplace where performance is likely to be objective.

Do you engage in violence? Time once again to give thought to points raised by my coaching mentor, Dr. Randin Brons, in his Idea Engineer. At first blush, this headline evoked an immediate “NO”. Violence is not something I’ve ever really engaged in. Then I reread the articles and quotes, and began to think about what violence really includes. "It is our basic right to be a happy person, happy family, and eventually a happy world.

SABOTAGING SELF? How are you sabotaging yourself? "If you play it safe in life you've decided that you don't want to grow any more." -- Shirley Hufstedler How are you sabotaging you’re potential for change? We unconsciously use defense mechanisms to shield us from situations we perceive to be scary or painful. A part of you may want to grow and change, but another part may be resisting because change always moves you into new territory in your thinking and emotions.

I think I was about 10 years old when I saw the word Epicurean. I had no clue what it meant, but I liked the sound of it. I underlined it and promised myself to refer to the dictionary and find its meaning. As any 10 year old, I forgot to do that as other more pressing things such as playing ...

As a business owner running the many different facets of your business, it’s not uncommon for you to feel as though you’re operating everything “out of your own head.” So when the answers you are seeking won’t appear you’ll often reach out to others around you for a fresh perspective. You can be positively (or negatively) influenced by talking through a variety of areas of your business with your business friends, networking contacts and other professional connections you meet along the way.

At this time of year many of us begin a process of reflecting on the past year and creating intentions for the coming new year. It’s a natural process based on our innate desire to become who we are meant to be in this life. As I begin this process, it strikes me that we are in a constant state of creating, evaluating, re-creating throughout our entire life.

If you suspect that you have a prescription drug problem, don’t stop taking the medication cold turkey.

Before you start the process though, make sure you really do have a prescription drug problem. Do you have the signs of prescription drug abuse? • Taking prescription drugs belonging to someone else • Stealing or forging prescriptions for drugs • Taking higher doses of drugs than prescribedr

Haven you given much thought to where to plant your organic vegetable garden? It’s a very important first step. You don’t want to go through the hard work of creating a garden designed to grow healthy organic food only to find out that there is some toxic substance (such as lead dust, paint chips, stain, or some other toxic product) that was scraped, sanded or power washed off your home and now sits in your soil. First, let’s define what it means to grow organically.

Most of us have had to set some kind of goals for our lives. Goals that are not met or seem to be absolutely out of touch usually leave us with the feeling that things just may not ever work or we replace the goal with yet another unrealistic goal. I have found that most goals that did not ...

Here's a dirty little secret for you. The answer is: not always. nnAt least not at first. In fact, sometimes coaching can be downright painful and disruptive!. You may find yourself doing everything possible to keep from working on what you hired your coach to help you achieve. You may spend a lot of time dipping your toe in the water. nnBut if you are going really deep, you should know it can get ugly. Sometimes that's exactly how you know it's working. nnThat may not be

Around this time each year I've found it helpful to spend some time writing out the intentions I have for the upcoming year. Sometimes I use them in an almost daily, structured way to create the results I want; while other years I write them once and tuck them away with only an occasional glance later on. Both methods have worked for me at different times. You've probably read a lot of self improvement advice - perhaps even at Inspiring-Self-Improvement.com about the topic of intentions.

Whether or not you realize it, you have a lizard that lives inside your brain and rules your world. The most primitive part of our brain is called the amygdala. We share this part of our brain with our lizard pals. The amygdala broadcasts survival-related fears to keep lizards alive in the world. These survival-related fears fall into two categories: lack and attack. A lizard’s lack fears help him ensure he’ll search for food if it seems to be in short supply.

When work, commitment, and pleasure all become one and you reach that deep well where passion lives, nothing is impossible. ~ Author Unknown Passion is defined as “powerful emotion” and “boundless enthusiasm”.

If you see yourself in it, you need to talk with someone before you become a statistic!

Adjusting Boundaries as a Cure for Stress Some people say there is good stress and bad stress. Would you say that getting married is good stress and getting divorced is bad stress?

What’s holding you back from having the life or career you want? The answer for over 50% of my clients is overcoming fear. This can show up in a variety of ways from doubt, worry, and anxiety. Maybe you’ve been told negative, put-downs over and over again by other people. Or perhaps you’ve tried reaching a goal before and failed at it. It’s completely normal to be afraid in some circumstances, but you have a choice in how you let those thoughts shape your actions.

This article looks at how a model of how people make changes proposed by the psychologists James Prochaska and Carlo DiClemente can be used by life coaches as a framework for structuring coaching intervention, particularly in situations where a client is seeking to break away from a habitual form of behaviour which is creating repeated problems for them. Prochaska and DiClemente’s model has been applied to working with a range of habitual problems, including: - Smoking or misuse of alcohol - Difficulties in relationships where there are repeating patternsrn- Lack of assertivenessr
