We all want to have a good life. For many, it’s about having a great career, a house of their own, a nice car and everything they need. But for some, life is good when they get to do what they love and just being with the people who matter in their life. Regardless of how we think living a good life is about, keeping the right balance is of utmost importance. While it is good that you work really hard to succeed in your career, you can’t spend all your time at work. At the end of the day, all that really matters is your wellbeing. So how can you be really happy with your life?

You have a lot on your plate and a lot of things that are important to you. You've decided that you want to make health or lifestyle changes and spend more of your valuable energy on yourself. You want to feel better and be more of the person you know you can be. The question is, "How do you actually make it happen?" How do you keep your goals on your radar? How do you remember to say no to other requests that interfere?

Life Out of Whack? H.A.L.T. Today is February 9, 2011 and it is mental health awareness day in Canada. A reminder to all, 20% of the total population suffers from a “mental health” issue in their life. Be aware of it, and if you are in that 20%, have the courage to seek help. There are no negatives attached to issues IF you deal with them!r

This week I find myself drowning in duties and obligations. I had intended to do quite a few things that have been left to fall to the wayside, so to speak. That's the thing about intentions. They mean absolutely nothing without action. What can you do to ensure that all of your ...

-we all need it So far, it’s been a really interesting day. Things are now quiet, and I am reflecting on a few things that have happened lately. In response to one of my jou als, I got some very constructive feed back on content and approach, and some constructive feedback on my web site ...

Anger is a normal emotion like any other emotion. Human beings are hard wired to experience anger as a means to preserve ourselves. Instinctively anger inspires one to fight, to defend or to take cover as it alerts one to a perceived threat. In this view, we can see how important anger can be in terms of our physical safety and overall security. Anger outside the realm of its primary purpose, increases the likeliness of one to loose control and jeopardizes the safety and security that it is intended to protect.

Do you want to make more money? If so, you are like most Americans today. The latest surveys show that money is the most common conce for people. They report that finances have a huge effect on their levels of stress. Instead of constantly worrying about your lack of funds, think about how you are managing your time. When I start working with a new client, one of the first things we consider are their time management skills. Regardless of what their goals are, they will be more difficult to achieve if the client isn’t focused and hasn’t prioritized the steps they need to take.

Isn't it time to Claim Your Life? We are not victims or bystanders in our lives. We have control over our behavior, how we respond to circumstances and people in our lives. When we live through passion, soul, authenticity, and abundance, we attract more of the same. When we look at and observe our thoughts and actions, and decide to think and behave in the highest ways possible, we are being conscious and aware.

PEOPLE PLEASIN’ TIME OF THE YEAR I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.--Bill Cosby I am so blessed to have the space I do to work in. Today my view through my windows is of crisp white snow and snow clinging to mature cedars at the back of our property. The view reflects the positive state I’m in a majority of the time, and I am ete ally grateful for the changes in my life that allow me to see the beauty all around me.r

Listening is usually identified as a positive personality trait. It can be seen as a virtue and a sign of generosity and wisdom, which may place listeners at high regard in front of other people. Therefore, many individuals may not hesitate to say they are good listeners, but may do so when confessing they are good talkers.

It's that time of year again... That time of year when we take time out, time away, time to enjoy nature and all of the beauty around us and within us. Whether we spend summer in the city or in Tuscany, we experience time differently. The summer gives us an inner summer experience of immersing ourselves in the happiness of now.

If you think that you work better and are more productive when you do things under a looming deadline, you’re probably mistaken. The truth is that you just feel more satisfied with the fact that you accomplished your tasks even with the time almost running out. Did you know that by getting rid of your procrastination habits, you can be more productive, effective and less stressed out? Yes it is easier said than done, but the fact remains that it is very much doable.

We can do anything and everything just to impress others, can’t we? Showing off the expensive things we’re using or even the successful career we have could be the best way to leave a mark…or maybe not. Honestly, there isn’t anything wrong with wanting to be impressive, but it’s always how we do it that makes us desirable or not. Thus, it’s important that you be very careful in choosing the means by which you’re going to impress people around you. If you want to impress others in a dignified way, here’s what you should and should not do:

If I told you to go out and try something new and mess it up, could you? When I first heard that suggestion, I cringed. I grew up as a perfectionist, and messing something up did not fit into my view of the world. When we want to make changes in our lives, we need to try new things. Trying new things means that we might mess it up as we figure it out. Going into business for myself, I have been slowly learning how to do something and mess it up. I will be honest with you: some days it's hard to stomach.

If you are running your own business and are wondering if you are doing well at it, you should go figure out if you were born to be an entrepreneur or not. If it turns out that you don’t have what it takes to be a successful businessman, there’s no reason to feel miserable. It wouldn't even mean that you don’t have the potential to succeed in owning a business. You can easily think of it as a sign that you should instead let your talents be used by a good employer.

In our excitement to stick to our resolutions and reach the goals we set for the year, we can sometimes become overwhelmed with trying to fulfill them all at once. This can lead to postponing our dreams and not being able to help to create positive change in the lives of those we love and serve. To help you keep or enhance your momentum towards this year goals without shifting into overwhelm, here are 3 things that you can easily do to avoid mental congestion. 1. Write your one-year vision If you haven’t already, write your 1 year vision.

Many of us are talented, driven, highly functional, and just very good at what they do. Yet, it is still not uncommon for some of these people to decide to move away from their jobs despite really enjoying many aspects of their careers. The main reason is that they feel that some of the things they do in their jobs don’t fit what they are planning to do in the future. In this case, you would wonder if changing careers is a smart decision to make.

I am sure that you know breathing is necessary in order to sustain life, but do you know how to breathe in order to sustain a healthier life? Many of us take shallow breaths that begin and end in our chest. When stressed, the breathing becomes even more shallow and at times we even "forget to breathe" and find ourselves holding our breath. This speeds the heart rate and causes us to cheat our body of much needed oxygen, which in turn negatively effects our entire body. Just as breathing is necessary to live, breathing properly is necessary to live well.

The other day, while standing in a very long line at my local coffee shop, I struck up a conversation with the woman behind me. We began chatting about everyday topics-the weather, the holiday rush, and then we stumbled on that dreaded topic of the moment-the economy. I asked her a question:<cite> "What do you think would be the most important thing you could have in your life right now to support where you are, given the economy?" </cite>She was a little surprised by this question, but her reply was very telling.

Once we realize that imperfect understanding is the human condition there is no shame in being wrong, only in failing to correct our mistakes. George Soros The Miss Universe pageant almost took place without many people caring about the outcome. If not for the mistake made by Steve Harvey, the event would not have caused a ripple in social media. Yet, so many people who didn’t even watch the event for years became emotionally attached to the results. We don’t remember who th

I very clearly remember a moment in October of 2009 when I was on the verge of giving up on my dream. I was stuck in a place I had been stuck in many times before and I couldn’t see a way through it this time. I was holding on to the end of the rope and wondering if it would be easier to just let go.

As the economy begins to recover, slowly, but surely hiring rates are picking-up, and companies are beginning to develop new tactics to attract potential employees. Many companies have taken a cue from modern and colorful workplaces, such as Google and Pixar, in order to utilize the work space itself as recruiter. While few companies have the resources to match the Googleplex, which houses giant rubber balls to bounce on, a life size dinosaur skeleton, beach volleyball courts

Are you an information addict? A news junkie? A Facebook frequenter, a Twitterer or devotee of other social media? A slave to your PDA or fancy phone? The costs of this information addiction is well documented. No wonder it's becoming chic these days to 'go off the grid' for a period of time. There are many good reasons to take breaks from the electronic aspects of our lives. This is especially true for creative and multi-talented people (a.k.a. DaVincis).

Though the holiday season is thought to be a joyous time by all, many find the time betwee Thanksgiving and Christmas to be stressful and emotional. As a helping professional, I have observed the approaching holiday season as both a joyous time, as well as a time filled with heartache and family conflict. The holidays often surface emotions from the past with greater intensity. Unresolved conflict, hurt, and past regrets are heightened with the approaching end of the New Year.

The phrase echoed loudly as I laughed, giggled, strutted my sexy self and had one of the funnest moments of my life doing a photo shoot in a parking garage. Originally I had scheduled this shoot to take place in the shallow pool posing in front of a stunning water fall. In the end the best photos came from the concrete parking garage. Our lives are full of moments to become attached to our physical location rather than the state our mind is located.

Are you ready to achieve success in your life or career but constantly feel drained or overwhelmed? That’s natural because we are consistently bombarded with tasks, emails, phone calls, text messages, and social media. You might have the greatest intentions, but still find obstacles getting in the way of you attaining your goals. When I first start working with my clients, we take a look at their time management skills to ensure they’ve minimized distractions. Some people still find they have so much going on, and have too many things on their To Do List.

What would $1,000 mean to you? Could it change your life? As a single mom, the decision to attend college may not be easy. You make a list of the pros and cons for going back to school.

According to a saying, “Sometimes you need to spend money in order to make money.” This is true, especially for business people, but it’s not only them who should invest to make profits. This saying applies to your career as well. In order for you to move up or advance in your career, then you’ve got to invest in yourself. However, there are also certain limitations as to until when you should spend. It is wise to spend when: a. You feel that a particular brand name can make a huge difference.
