It just feels safe. We just seek protection. Our intention is not to hurt anymore, almost at any cost. The feelings of pain, disappointment, unanswered questions all weigh upon us and we must seek relief. As a defense mechanism or a survival skill we cut ourselves off from the pain's source. We choose to disconnect from the depth of our pain so we can manage ourselves through life. Time passes and wounds heal. The sting fades and ability to function returns. We have seemingly been able to return to the routine of life but something is different.

How is it that some people can be married forever, yet never lose that bloom so often associated with budding romance? People who have sustained, loving relationships for decades have discovered what everyone else is dying to know. They have found the secrets for keeping the relationship fresh, ...

You are probably questioning-- is it actually necessary to obtain a mentor, or can you gain success even without somebody lifting you up all the time? The reality is, not everyone discovers it simple to obtain the motivation to do the best thing to success. Additionally, some individuals could not even be aware of exactly what they should do to tread the courses to growth and development. So, having a mentor perhaps required in learning the ropes and attaining your most treas

It has been said that 60-80% of New Year’s resolutions will be broken within the first two weeks. Personally, I am not a huge advocate of New Year’s resolutions because I believe in setting and achieving personal goals all year around. However, I do respect the fact that New Year’s resolutions ...

What you think about, you become. This sounds like a simple enough phrase, but it is really profound, and it penetrates every aspect of your life. It is always at work. Your entire being is based on your thinking. Every aspect of you: your mood, your level of happiness, your parenting, your relationship, your finances, your health, your weight, and your career. Everything in your life relates back to this one simple concept.

Happiness… this is what you want, what I want, and what everyone else wants. Interestingly, while we all want to attain happiness in our lives, so many of us are clueless as to how they could be happy in their lives. Perhaps this is because it is too easy to take for granted what we have right now, and we, instead, keep looking for the things we think could give us fulfillment. If being fulfilled for you is a difficult thing to do, consider making some changes in your life. What you will read below are some tips that have helped many people become happier and more likeable.

When I say I'm an Authentic Leadership Coach I'm often asked: What is an Authentic Leader? The answer I feel, is universal - we're all Leaders within. This is the place of Sovereignty for us - where we always have the opportunity to be conscious and aware of who we are, what really matters to us and the life we will create. Authentic Leadership then, is knowing your True Self and having your actions and behaviors follow in line with that unique truth. So, know yourself (very old wisdom, indeed) and act accordingly. While so easy to say, this can be very challenging to live.

If you attract a love right now, they will be just as screwed up as you are right now! People all seem to have a common question about relationships: “I want a love who loves me completely, who supports me in my dreams and goals, who gives me moral support and boosts me up when I'm down. Where is this person? I want him or her in my life now!" With 6.8 billion people on the planet, there is no doubt that person is out there. With all the social networking that exists now I have no doubt that you can also be connected easily

You begin each year with the boldest and sincerest of intentions. You set goals and get excited about the possibilities that lay before you. However, as most of you know, it doesn’t take long for doubt and frustration to seep in. You may be overwhelmed by the ever growing list of things that ...

The idea that societies with more economic inequality -- whether in terms of income, net worth, or something else -- are less moral is nothing new. In the past, people have usually made this argument from a philosophical perspective -- for instance, John Rawls' famous argument that, if you designed a society from scratch, with no idea where you personally would end up on the economic scale, you'd choose a society where inequalities were only allowed if they benefited the worst-off.

I recently read an article online that stated the average person will hold between 7 to 10 jobs in a lifetime. Clearly, most people make many career changes during their working lives. This is pretty significant. Yet my coaching clients will often lament that they feel stuck in careers that no longer satisfy them, believing that they have no choice but to remain in roles that physically and emotionally drain them because they must “lie in their own beds”. After all, they’ve got bills to pay and need a steady paycheck.

When I first started my journey to clean up my life and build and strengthen my relationship with myself, I started by investing in resources that would deepen my learning. I bought lots of books about self-healing and personal growth & development. Some books I read more than once to be sure it all sank in. Once I finished those, I began attending adult education classes, seminars and taking personality tests. Then I hired a coach.

Being able to be in the moment is one of life’s simplest treasures. It can make the craziness of the world stop so you can just sit and take a breather. Take one minute after reading this paragraph to look away from the computer. Close your eyes and just be in the moment. Listen to your surroundings and don’t let anything come into your mind. If something creeps in, don’t cringe or beat yourself up over it, just tell yourself that you will take care of it later and then release it. Do this for as long as you wish and then slowly re-open your eyes. What Happens When the Past Haunts Your

Recently, I made a trip to the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) here in Los Angeles to renew my driver’s license. I made a smart choice by scheduling an appointment for my renewal rather than “winging it” as a “walk in.” As I approached the DMV in my car, I saw scores of people forming a line that wrapped around the outside of the building. As you can imagine, my heart began to race at the prospect of standing in a line that long. I began a mental scan of my “to do” list in my head with a bit of anxiety about how lengthy this process might be.

Do you ever wonder why you achieve some of the goals you set, but not all of them? I did.

When I read a recent article citing single mothers for the recent decline in newspaper sales I was appalled. I couldn't believe Chris Powell, the Managing Editor of the journal Inquirer, actually blamed single moms for his not being able to sell more newspapers. What shocked me even more than his blame is his description of single moms...

The 2009 holiday season has finished and the world is beginning a new year full of amazing possibilities including a list of resolutions millions of people plan on accomplishing during 2010.

Got this great reading today from Hazelden, and boy did it hit home! I only wish that I had “got it” as it relates to my mother by the time I was 35. Man, she, and a few select other very close to me, knew exactly what buttons to push. I’ve learned that it was I who allowed them to be pushed, ...

Am I looking for what’s right? Most of us find it real easy to look for what’s wrong. It’s a way of looking at things that we think is ‘normal’ patterned to us by family, friends, our community and our society. We can find all the wrong there is in our jobs, relationships, our government, our ...

Most of us have been taught from a very young age by parents or grandparents that lived through the depression that the responsible thing to do is to save…. and save a lot! But living in the generation where everything is so readily available… and can be charged or financed… spending seems to ...

Just this morning, my five year old came stomping through the kitchen with a big scowl on his face. He was angry. We have recently developed a schedule board to help Ian plan his day. He loves to follow his schedule, and he was planning on getting ready and dressed for his day from 8:00 to ...

The other day, I was at another birthday party for a one-year old. (I didn't realize so many people I know had babies around the time I did.) I start talking with a couple about babies, as the wife is holding my son. I ask if they are ready for one. As the lady says yes, her husband shakes his head no. I ask, "NO?" He replies, "I'm scared."

The top two things that people seem to want more of are money and time. As a matter of fact, more money and more time are the top two issues people come to life coaches for (they also happen to be the top two excuses people use for not hiring a coach). It would be great if we had a money tree ...

A week ago, I was awakened just before midnight by an alarming phone call. The security company was calling to tell me there was an alarm going off at the historic house I manage (on a purely volunteer basis), and asked if they should send a fire engine. “Yes, of course,” I gasped, surprised they would even stop to call me first. “What’s happening?” “I’ll call you back,” the voice said, and hung up. Groggy with sleep, facing a difficult day for which I was trying to be well-rested, I weighed my options.

There are two simple, but extremely important things that I've noticed most people do NOT do very often. The first one is acknowledge what they've accomplished. The second one is clarify what they really want. Most people have a tendency to focus too much on what they haven't yet achieved.

Divorce Coach Helps Save Marriages This may seem unusual that a Business/Personal Coach who specializes in Divorce has a goal to help couples avoid divorce if at all possible. Five Tips on How to Enjoy a Happy Marriage and Keep it That Way! 1) Focus on the strengths and the value that each of ...

If someone told you that a piece you wrote is garbage and you’re a moron for writing it, could you object to their behavior? When I work with people who are having trouble starting a project, this is often an area where they feel blocked. They don’t trust their ability to protect themselves against mistreatment. They feel reluctant to “put their work out there” because they don’t think they can handle the criticism that might come their way. It’s also unsurprising that these people suffer greatly at the hands (or maybe “claws” is the better word) of their inner critic.

We all want to feel loved. With everything going on in the world and personal lives, we want to know that somebody has our back, front and side. We want to know that we are loved and cared for. Do we always get that--NO. Do we find heart ache and heart breaks in our relationships--YES. Do we deal with people who can treat us less than worthy, who disrespect us, cheat on us and leave us feeling less than lovable? YES. And depending on our threshold for pain-we come to a point that we shut down and crawl back in our corner filled with anger, bitte ess and a whole lot of pain.r

Divorce can be brutal on you emotionally. When my first wife divorced me, I was devistated for a couple years. Needless to say, back then I did not understand how to feel bliss and all I had was anger, doubt, fear, disappointment and hurt feelings. That was 14 years ago and it was the catalyst for a profound transformation in my life. I’ve sought bliss and found it. Since then, I’ve supported many of my clients through the process of divorce. In my program Creating Relationship Ecstasy (which is included in my Inspired Action Weekly Program) I mapped out the process in great detail.

You are in the midst of a transition! Some event has caused a major shift in your life and you are moving from the past to an unknown future. It’s natural to feel a sense of fear or disillusionment in these instances. A common question my clients ask is, “Where do I go from here?” After some discussion, the answer usually becomes clear, “Wherever YOU want to go!” Yes, you can set your own course and shape your own destiny. Coaching helps people work through their transition by focusing on creating plans and taking action. How could that be useful for you?

When I ordered the tickets for the paddleboat cruise, I was told to bring the printed order form plus a form of picture identification. We showed up at the dock, I reached into my purse – and remembered that I had put my major credit card and driver’s license into a small pouch the previous day in order to attend an art fair – and hadn’t replaced them in my purse.

You should always write down your goals, no matter how small they seem. It is no secret that successful people passionately set goals to achieve the lifestyles they have. They understood the importance of recording all their goals and creating compelling visions for their lives.

"Meditation brings wisdom; lack of mediation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what holds you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom." – Buddha Meditation dates back several hundreds of years. When someone mentions meditation, an image of monks in dark robes sitting for hours in silence may come to mind, but this is not the case. Meditation is mainstream and its benefits are for everyone! BENEFITS OF MEDITATION Meditation can benefit your body, mind, and spirit.

Have you ever been in a situation that brought on sweats, rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath? You probably weren’t having a heart attack but an anxiety attack. If you suffer from anxiety disorders, learning to manage anxiety is the first step to overcoming it. Anxiety is characterized as extreme reactions to fearful situations. When someone follows you into a dark alley, those anxious feelings of a racing heartbeat and sweaty palms gives way to heightened senses and a rush of adrenalin that can save your life. This is the fight or flight syndrome.

To anyone who wants to add flavor to his or her bathroom in a thrilling manner, there can’t be a superior means than setting up bath screens to open up the space. People owning shower curtains are able to understand their inconvenience for the reason that there can be nothing as awkward and bath screens come to their rescue. Bath screens are as efficient as shower curtains in terms of putting a stop to water seepage but have an additional advantage to shower curtains. They

There’s a fairly simple explanation for all social anxiety. It is caused by the unfortunate mental habit of “mind reading.” That is, we imagine what other people are thinking about us. “Do I look good?” “Do I sound intelligent?” Our unstated mission is “I must make them feel good about me!” When I point this out to clients, they always agree. Social events have become agonizing attempts to control what others are thinking of them. It is not just that they want to look good; they are terrified of looking bad.

Do you find your emotions sabotage many of your best efforts? Do you come undone at the slightest thing? Or do you consider yourself super-sensitive? You’re not alone.

For those who have seen me recently, you know that there's a lot of that going on in my work life. The new office came with a beautiful view and a few surprises. The building has been under construction and has looked more like a "war zone" than an office building. But still, despite all the ...

You hear how important it is to be 'motivated'. Have you ever wondered why many people set goals and do not reach them, and why so many New Year's resolutions go unfulfilled? The key is what lies behind the goals, the resolutions and the motivations. Motivation is about willpower and specific achievement. Motivation is mental and logical, and is usually exte ally driven, either by the expectations of others, by fears or by problems. For example, you may have sales quotas, or a bonus structure at work intended to motivate you to produce results.
