“It is impossible to feel grateful and depressed in the same moment.” - Naomi Williams You may not like what I’m about to share with you here, but after years of suffering from feeling “down,” “sad,” and “depressed” I can guarantee that what I’m about to tell you is true. If you’re feeling sad right now it’s because you’re deleting all the things you could focus on that would make you feel good. I know, it sounds way too simple. And guess what?

"The Doctor's Opinion"nn-It Defies Psychologists Why Co-Creative Life Recovery may be the best option to those with addictions; it works for everybody! A spiritual awakening plays a key role in the recovery of a life ANY person wants. While it works for those with addictions, it works for ALL. ...

During summertime we all know that our flowerpots require extra watering. To keep our plants alive and flourishing, we give them special attention during the summer months. The same holds true for us. When our personal flowerpots, (body, mind, heart and spirit), are drying out, and we feel ...

Have you ever felt: “It was easy to finish, it was just the matter of starting” “I feel good at the gym; it was just the matter of getting to the gym” “I finished it in lesser time than it took for me to start” – This is definitely something we have experienced as students when we left home- work for Sunday nights!

What in your life isn’t exactly as you’d like it to be? Do you want to make a change but aren’t sure where to begin? Whatever your challenge, the first step is to imagine the future you desire. Pinpoint the problem. Your job is eating at your soul. You want to live a life that feels purposeful. Your email Inbox is overflowing and heart attack-inducing. You fumble through the paperwork for each new client. Design your desired future. Let your imagination run wild.

An extract from my forthcoming ebook "How To Make Money - Even In A Recession" What is the meaning of life? Many people have put much thought in to this question. Religions have fought and people have died over it. Funny thing is that they are all working on the same basic idea. I’m going to tell you the meaning of life and it might shock you. The meaning of life is… To live! That is our total reason for being here. So how do we live then? Well we have 24 hours a day to live in. You can break those hours up into 3 parts. • 8 hours for working • 8 hours for sleep

I admit it — I have moments when I doubt the value of everything I do in my life. I doubt whether I’m really interested in my work. I question whether the relationships in my life are worthwhile. I seriously consider whether I’d prefer a life of solitary, cave-dwelling meditation. I think doubt is wonderful.

I used to believe that I shouldn’t sit down to write unless I had a compelling vision of what I’d say. Unfortunately, this attitude was the reason why, for many years, I didn’t do any creative writing. Sure, I wrote a lot, but only when somebody else (1) gave me a subject to write about and (2) was willing to pay me a bunch of money or give me a good grade. Eventually, I started taking a look at why I had this mindset. Why was I reluctant to just sit down and see whether any interesting ideas came up?

Stress Relief Tips for the Holidays and Everyday From the Happy Wednesday Lady, Joanie Winberg The American Institute of Stress reports that stress among Americans is significantly rising with approximately $300 billion a year lost due to stress-related illnesses. It has reduced productivity, ...

I love sweet things. Is there anything yummier than sticky toffee pudding with custard on a cold winter’s day? Or a cool, sweet ice-cream when it’s hot? Or perhaps, peculiarly for me, Liquorice Allsorts on Christmas morning? But as much I really love sweet things, I tend to keep foods with added sugars to a minimum these days. Why would I choose to do such a thing when I love sweet foods so much? I know it sounds crazy (and possibly boring!), but over the last few years I hav

Where were you on this day last year? What were you doing? Who were you being? What were your challenges, your triumphs and your failures? What were you proud of? Where are you today? What are you doing? Who are you being? What are your challenges, your triumphs and your failures?

Suppose you really want to make major improvements in your life, then a Personal Life Coach is a must. Maybe you need as we say a helping hand to make even minor improvements in your life, then a PLC would be a good person to find. The best kept secret of the world, and successful people are the other people lending a hand in their lives. The rich, and the not so rich will always be by your side working with you, but will hold you accountable to your goals that you have set. More often than not the person who makes the changes will have a tendency to be slack with their achievements.

Do you feel like Clark W. Griswold trying to make a perfect holiday and stumbling through mishaps? Everyone faces challenges of juggling their time effectively during the hectic holiday season. We all have to carry on our normal activities plus shop, wrap, cook, clean, bake, decorate, travel, ...

Lately I’ve noticed a behavioral trend occurring among clients, my friends and myself. We are recognizing the importance that joy plays life. The problem for many of us is that after being workaholics and Super moms for years, we don’t know what real joy is – or how to find it. I have always ...

Vacations, it is often said, cause nearly as much (if not more) stress as they’re supposed to alleviate. Add to that fears of global climate change, growing awareness of environmental issues associated with travel, and the aggravation and crowds that tend to converge in popular spots, and the ...

Extreme busyness is a chronic disease that afflicts many moms today. As a matter of fact, I was just listening to the One Month to Live DVD by Kerry and Chris Shook. They identified three passion busters. I'm not talking about sexual passion, although I'm sure your husband would love that. ...

A few weeks ago, my sister Rene and I had the opportunity to visit our Mom in Florida. It was a "girl's getaway" filled with shopping, going to the beach, tasty food, wine and great conversation. Every morning we had a ritual of getting up, grabbing our coffee and heading out to the beach for a walk. On the first morning, I noticed a large, magnificent lighthouse that stood in the distance. Whether it was a bright sunny day or one surrounded by dark, gloomy clouds, the lighthouse was performing its job.

Our lives are filled with stress. It is all around us, everywhere we look. There are deadlines to meet, unexpected traffic jams, overloaded schedules, and difficult people. The negative effects of stress have been well documented over time. They include high blood pressure, insomnia, ...

"Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart." ~ Marcus Aelius Aurelius Acceptance, especially self acceptance, is one of the most profound ways to unshackle old, destructive thinking that holds you back from a ...

How often have we found that life hasn't been fair to us? We find it extremely stressful interacting and transacting with people around us. The situations and circumstances that we are left to deal with are the most difficult ones. We feel trapped in this never ending cycle of agony, and don't see a way out of this misery! With each and every new challenge that we face, we start to despise ourselves. At the same time, we try finding fault with people around us - someone on th

The word ‘coach’ can either signify a means of transport or a tutor or person who provides guidance and instruction.(Although we know that real Coaches do not advise or dictate). While different meanings entirely, they still have something in common and that is to help and encourage people to move forward. And that is exactly the role that coaches have in the lives of leaders, they facilitate growth and help to build up individuals to become the leaders of tomorrow.

The atmosphere boomed a couple of days ago when the firecrackers factory at Sivakasi burst out into flames due to a firecracker mishap. A high-intensity explosion took place in the Om Sakthi Factory, snatching away life breath from nearly 38 lives and leaving 62 injured. The injured people were rendered help at the only available government hospital at Sivakasi . The hospital is ill-equipped has only 12 beds to offer to the seriously wounded patients. The state of the hospita

I read the introverts forums, I watch the comments, and I feel a little dismayed. “Why won’t people leave me alone?” “I don’t like small talk, so I avoid people.” “Being around people is just so exhausting that I spend all my free time alone.” “I hate even the thought of networking.” One gets the impression that all introverts are grumpy, asocial and even hostile to people who desire more stimulation and activity in their lives (OK, extroverts). Unfortunately, good health and success are tied to the high quality of the relationships we form. Isolation is not.

Have you ever had someone explain to you, coldly and logically, why your dream or vision is impossible, and can never come true? Well, I have. Most recently last week. As it happens, I had stopped focusing on my stress management programs during the last year, while I finished my book, The Confident Introvert, and developed programs based on it. But I went back to that topic and am now developing what I think will be a new, exciting, and very complete program, combining elements of stress and habit management that I don’t think have ever been combined in quite this way before.

Each and everyday in someway your competitive resolve is tested. Your response to that competition will affect not only you but others around you. Are you ready for that competition or for that matter do you even acknowledge that there will be competitive demands on you? As I said, today will ...

A few weeks ago, I took some time to evaluate where most of my clients come from and the two areas where I consistently receive highly qualified clients are referrals from happy clients and public speaking. It’s essential that you spend your valuable time doing the things that consistently bring you the clients that you love to work with. This week, I’m going to focus on public speaking as I get many questions from Smart Women on this topic.

Whether you are networking for business or for personal reasons, being an introvert can make the process painful. It doesn’t have to be. My interest in confidence and its opposite, social anxiety, came as the result of a painful end to a marriage in which I had become increasingly socially isolated. Finding that I had to seek new friends, I decided to go to join groups, such as alumnae groups, and go to meetings and events where I would meet people, only to find that this was very difficult.

BEDEVILMENTS (interesting word) Got this reading this morning, and the word bedevilment is one I have not seen in ages. So over to Mr. Webster. He says, "exasperating interference and trouble; a besetting with devils". The way he puts it, I know I have experienced it. Have you? The message: ...

Do You Understand Detachment? I’m off at 6 in the morning for golf, so an early blog! For years, I have heard about detachment, often loving detachment. As the child of an alcoholic who went on to be a practicing addict in several areas, it is not a term I understood, particularly with ...

Do you ever say, “Once I get or do [this thing], then I’ll take a break,” or something like that? This is a common theme for me. I had a long list of deadlines for last week, and I saw that I was putting off taking a break until they were done. When I made it through the list, the realization hit me that I was done. I took a few deep breaths, then I looked for the next thing to do. Then I stopped myself. I noticed my accomplishments.

It is estimated that reported earnings from the internet will be numbered by the trillions in the year 2005. Internet-based businesses such as virtual assistants, web development, retail, consulting and freelance services make up a large percentage of the money earned online, and there is still ...

Disce ing what is real and what-is-not is increasingly difficult as imaginary and reality blur around the edges. Take for example our media. In magazines and papers, photos that have not been edited, are few and far between. Virtually all celeb photos have been air-brushed, de-blemished and often ever-so-slightly slimmed down. Photos of events or products are cropped to emphasise the story they are telling. Body doubles are sometimes used in intimate, naked scenes in films. A

In life coaching, your coach simply wants the best for you. But your mind is not designed for change. Your mind is designed to keep things the same. Your mind is designed to keep things going in a similar direction, because your mind is designed to keep you safe. The problem is that when you make safe decisions, you are not changing. You are limiting yourself to experiences that will not lift you into the life of your dreams. The fabulous experiences you can experience will occur when you step outside of this safety zone.

Ever start something you didn't finish? Ever try to do it all yourself? Ever get impatient that something you wanted was taking too long? Of course you have.

Every man on earth is created for a purpose, which God expects him to fulfill within his life span. Unfortunately, many are kept in the dark as to what it is and how to live it. Many turned to that thing called job, but real life is about serving. Giving out what God put inside you to serve your generation produces deeds which acres in your heavenly bank account. These deeds or works are only realizable when you' take the bold step of discovering who you are - browsing into your non-existence.

Given that the economy is nowhere near as strong as it could be, more and more companies are looking at layoffs as an option that will help them to stay in business. No matter how great you are at your job, there is a risk of the company eliminating your position – and if that happens, it's ...

I would love to have your opinions, ideas and stories (books, people you know, reference materials, etc.) on actual examples of how to develop a successful business and infuse it with spiritual principles. What are spiritual principles when it comes to running an effective business in this day ...

The other day a client emailed me with an update and ended with "So thanks for the crappy assignment. It was great."

Do you find yourself wanting to do things but stopping and thinking, ‘I can’t do that.’ Or may be you wonder, ‘What will other people think?’ A lot of professionals believe that they aren’t smart, attractive, rich, or lucky enough to have the life they want. So they don’t pursue a promotion or look for a new job when they are unfulfilled and not making enough money. It’s natural to feel some anxiety around unknown situations and everyone has experienced fear. How do you handle new challenges in your life and career?

Turning into a lifestyles train will also be some of the profitable jobs for some people. some great benefits of turning into a life teach are not simply obtrusive within the cash profits; the fulfillment of being able to lend a hand folks develop into the most productive that they are able to be is equally pleasant. Therefore if you want to become a life educate, then it is also important that you recognize what it takes to develop into one. Turning into an existence teach c

“Overcoming Excuses” (Part One): You are two weeks into your new weight-loss program. You are following a well-balanced dietary plan and you are exercising more. Then one night, you feel a strong urge to polish off a bag of potato chips or a carton of ice cream. As you head for the kitchen, there is a debate going on in your head. What excuses will you make for cheating on your program?

I’ve said this many times before and I will repeat it many times again, it is my core belief and the essence of my philosophy. The relationship you have with your Self is the foundation for all the other relationships in your life. If you don’t have a strong, loving relationship with your Self, you will continue to experience struggle in other areas of your life. And when you do experiencing that struggle, the first place I will always encourage you to look is inside. You will find your guidance there.

Think of good nutrition as good medicine when you are dealing with stress. We all experience some form of stress every day; and how we handle it depends on our state of health. I like to think of my health as my bank account; health reserves that I can draw upon in times of stress. There are 3 main methods to deal with stress. They are nutrition, exercise and rest. For this article, I’ll focus on diet and nutrition. What you eat gives you energy and the more energy you have

The dictionary defines luck as "(chance as bestower of) good or ill fortune, fortuituous events affecting one's interests, person's apparent tendency to be (un)fortunate". "Phew," some of you will sigh with relief..."it's not my fault that I'm unlucky then, its all down to chance!" Well, let’s consider what chance is first.

I’ve been doing a lot of speaking recently to groups of job-seeking professionals, and predictably I tend to get questions about dealing with job interview anxiety. But if I get the chance to explore the issue more deeply with people, I often find that they’re not really interested in reducing their anxiety. Instead, they want to convince the interviewer they aren’t anxious.

We are always surrounded by unseen resources just waiting to support our every desire. I call it The Magic Behind The Curtain. It’s the Universe, our Spirit Guides, Angels, God, family and friends who have passed and many other energetic beings who are always available to help us on our journey.

When I suggest to addiction trained and mental health professionals that there may be more for a sober client to attain in life than sobriety through the successful completion of the 12-step program in AA, I receive various responses: 1. Looks of incomprehension;rn2. Questioning of my expertise and credentials in the addiction field;rn3. “You are full of it”;rn4. Tell us, please, we are tired of the same old; we have been sober for years and are still compelled to attend
