Have you ever been caught in a race that never ends: one in which the big prize at the end is as far out of reach as it is when you started, and the small rewards along the way that might sustain you have gotten to be scarcer and scarcer? Perhaps the big prize no longer seems enticing, or even appropriate, but you’ve been so busy you haven’t even noticed its allure fading.

Self-Love (Your Childhood Picture): Extreme Thought Makeover Day 6 Lesso Strengthening our own self-love is the pathway to having more unconditional love to offer to others, and the first step is to begin to see ourselves as worthy and full of potential. Today, find a picture of a child that ...

Hans Selye, known as the “Father of Stress,” coined the term “eustress” in 1926. It means, literally, “good stress.” Is there such a thing? You bet there is. When we’re underwhelmed by life, we seek excitement in anything from scary movies to amusement park rides; we crave new ventures and exhilarating relationships. A totally stress-free life would be not only boring, but also unhealthy, and we now have scientific proof.

A New Way to Market Your Expertise The way we market our products and services is changing. Social marketing is a good example of this. Many professionals I talk to are challenged because the way they market and the groups of people they market to are no longer buying what they have to offer. Through working with clients, I have discovered an easy way to “test” the market for a new product or service. It is easy to do and unless you decide to buy contact lists, the only investment is your time. Here is an example.

I don’t own a rags to riches story; a story about being broke, in debt, homeless, destitute, or alone. I never thought about “my story”, the story about why I have a fabulously abundant life today. And folks, I have a fabulously abundant life!! I used to think that because I didn’t go broke, or wasn’t miserable trying to pull myself out of some state of desperation or pain, that I didn’t have a story to tell. Or, that what I had to share with the world wasn’t going to measur

Lawn care is simply mowing the lawn and raking the leaves, right? Who needs help with that? Lawn care is much more than that and even the mowing alone can keep a person busy during a good growing season. So, the real question becomes: How do I know when I need a lawn care professional?nnThe first, and easiest, indicator is the condition of your lawn. If your lawn is "getting away from you" and you simply can't keep up, a lawn care professional may be able to help. Many people

I recently volunteered to review a client’s resume. She was applying for a job at a large Financial Institution. She had her artistic husband design a very creative resume, which showcased his graphic design skills. The resume looked great, if she was applying for an artistic position. You want your resume to be memorable and stand out from the others in the pack, but the design should match the position you are applying for and the company environment.

It was breakfast time at Janet's house. The baby was in the high chair watching her brother and sister fight over who gets the Mickey Mouse plate. The kids didn't want cereal for breakfast, nor did they want eggs and toast. Not having much left in the house to fix, Janet was beginning to feel ...

Ah, the illusory idea of work and life balance. Most of us are so far removed from living a balanced life that we don't even think it's possible. How could we, when it's so rare and we never see it. Work life balance seems like it's one of those "urban legends", you know - a friend of a ...Ah, the illusory idea of work and life balance. Most of us are so far removed from living a balanced life that we don't even think it's possible. How could we, when it's so rare and we never see it.

We all want to live in a world where people don't judge each other, we're all looking for the inner beauty, and clothes don't mean anything. We're evolving - but today, the truth is it does matter. A lot.

This September I spent two days doing Resume Assessment at The National Job Fair and Training Expo in Toronto. 400 Job Seekers received free resume assessments from nine Resume Writers. There was a 2-3 hour wait for this service that was available from 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. Since a resume is critical ...

I don’t now about you but life has become very busy since the beginning of this year. It has felt like time has speeded up, rather whirlwind-like. Many people I have spoken with recently have felt the same, some kind of shift happening, rather like the brakes being taken off.

You’d think that after skiing for over 46 years I’d stop being afraid when I hit a rough spot. But no, skiing in Utah I noticed the old feeling loomed over me like a dense cloud when I hit some difficult terrain. Why I’d put up with this feeling for so long I can’t ...

Now let me just say up front that I am bound to annoy your friends, parents, brothers, sisters, aunties and uncles with this short article; but what the heck. I have been bugging my own friends, parents, brother, sister, aunties and uncles for about 40 years now; so at least you could never say that I discriminate! Actually here is the lesson (before the first lesson): turn everything around (like above) so all you get, and give yourself, are compliments. This is actually the 5th time I have started this paragraph because I can’t think of a nicer way to say what I am about to say.

"You've got to be tough to do the big things in life like taking risks, admitting mistakes, and changing bad habits. You've got to be tough to do the little things like biting your tongue, waiting your turn and putting up with fools. Self-reliance and self-confidence will demand your ...

If our culture is guilty of anything when it comes to the subject of love, it’s sending mixed messages. Don’t settle for less than your soul mate…but don’t be too picky, or you’ll spend your life single. You should look for someone whose interests match your own…but opposites attract. You must ...

I highly recommend using inspirational passages for your meditation and/or focused attention. First, it is training in concentration. Most of our mental powers are so widely dispersed that they are relatively ineffective. In focused attention, we gradually focus the mind so that when we meet a ...

A technique often used in coaching when resolving problems is to look at things from a different perspective. By using this method, a client can experience their situation from a different point of view and often their own outlook changes. I fully understood what this meant when I first moved to my new home a couple of years ago. I was daunted by the very steep hill leading up to my home. It is so steep that when you try to walk down it, you end up running and as for walking

I heard a wonderful story last night, from a woman who has had a varied, interesting andfrom any standpoint, successful, life. Her secret? She didn’t know there was a glass ceiling! In fact, she wasn’t aware of most barriers that frustrate the rest of us.r

January is the time of fresh starts, fresh ideas, and an urge to create a new, better life.Often, we start out with high hopes, only to sink by February 1 as if the balloon carrying our hopes had been punctured. We need a plan, a roadmap if you will, that we can follow, that will provide us with a vision, a plan, and benchmarks that help us say to ourselves, “Yes, I am moving towards what I desire.” Here is my roadmap to creating a new, exciting life:

I used to be in search of a book, workshop or practice that would, in a matter of hours or days, change me forever. I’d stop doubting myself, my relationships would always go smoothly, I’d become courageous enough to always say how I felt, and so on. I had this goal in mind, consciously or not, with every self-help book I bought, workshop I attended, and spiritual practice I tried. “This is going to be the one,” I’d say to myself. “This teacher will transform my life and end my suffering, once and for all.”

Overcoming Excuses: (Part Two) In a recent newsletter, I taught you the technique of writing out your excuses in advance, finding the lie in them, and writing a gentle but firm rebuttal for each one. I then suggested that you write each rebuttal on an index card, carry the cards around with you, and memorize the rebuttals.

I often encounter entrepreneurs who see themselves as soloists, single individuals boldly taking risks to create new and imaginative products or solving problems in unique and unusual ways by themselves. Successful entrepreneurs know that in order to discover untapped markets, to develop new solutions, and bring a product to market requires a team of people who can add their unique talent and skill to the mix. Many entrepreneurs try to do it all, and this is a recipe for fail

Have you ever postponed some thing you really wanted or needed to do until you had a long Wanna-Do List later that never got fulfilled? Have you ever wished for extra time to sleep a bit more, read longer, or do something different? After you’ve finally found the time, have you found yourself doing something else, like flicking through TV channels, spending most of the day in bed or on the couch feeling drained of energy?

Last night I had one of those nights where my mind worried. Using my techniques I didn’t pay much attention. But I use to get gripped by the madness. Laying there not able to do anything about any conce because it’s midnight, I’m in my PJ’s and I’m trying to go to sleep for god sake!.

At the empowerment center we have created in NYC, called Children of Light, we are focused on resolving the inner wounded approach to life that we have all known in varying degrees. We focus on two primary ways to accomplish this. The first is to become aware of the unmet needs that took ...

When one goes seeking employment, it is to seek money to meet their everyday needs. One of these needs includes their health care needs which, outside of their home and car is one of the most expensive needs they will have.

The environmental project is considered very important in order to preserve the biodiversity. The environment & wildlife volunteers are placed into local zoos or wildlife organizations to work being a part of research or care taking. The wildlife conservation projects for the volunteers involve various activities or works like caring for injured or affected wildlife, wildlife research to find something good for animals, feeding animals, tree nursery, working for natural fores

Two of my favorite questions to ask someone are "What Do You Want?" and "How Will You Know When You Get It?". The challenge for many people is that either they don't really know what they want, or what they "think" they want is not really going to fulfill them. Many people, as a result of operating primarily from their conscious mind are only thinking of surface things like wealth, a new home, a relationship, a new career.

Executive Coaching The benefits of having an executive coach help your staff can reflect positively not just in your financial results, but also through your company’s brand and reputation. These leaders provide your company a growth outlook that will benefit everyone.

There are two ways you can approach life. You can approach life as if you are at the effect of things or like you are the cause of things. Both are true. The way you focus creates your reality. It’s clear that you are being the cause of your life because you are reading this blog about self improvement. The only question is, “Are aware of what you are causing?” In order to manifest a new lover, the perfect job, that next big opportunity or millions of dollars…you have to get present to your ability to magnetize what you want. You have to see it, realize it, know it and trust it.

Whatever your age right now, if you can read this, you have a past that you can recall. Just take a few moments now and think about your past. How would you describe it? Easy, tough, slow, fast, full, mostly happy, very sad, busy, regretful, joyful, etc. etc. How you see your past actually has a tremendous effect on how you will see the accomplishment of your goals unfolding. I haven’t met anyone who tells me their life has been a day at the fair. I have met many who have told me their life has been like slogging through deep, sticky mud.

9 out of 10 businesses make it past their first year. Why does this happen? 90% of people? It's not that there is anything wrong with these people, that they can't do it, are not smart enough, or any of that. I know one thing for sure, a person is not given the desire for something without the tools to make it manifest. So what's the problem?

As a life coach I focus on a process I call, “Radical Responsibility”. It’s a term I borrowed from my mentor, Dr. David Hawkins author of Power vs. Force. It is the antithesis of being a Victim. Instead of asking, “Why is this happening to me?” you ask, “How am I causing this?” In truth neither question is better or worse, they just give you a different experience of your life. When you ask, “Why is this happening to me?” you are basically saying that there is a world out there that I have to deal with and I don’t like it.

Life coaching starts with a rigorous examination of your entire life. You will identify everything that is standing in the way of living the life of your dreams. Working with your coach, you will uncover what is working and what is not working. You will spend some time getting clear about what you are happy about and also what you are unhappy about, so you can eliminate what doesn’t work and expand what does.

Before entering the workforce, it is common for young people to study calculus and other higher academic subjects. While there is no doubt that training in such fields is valuable, it is also very important that young workers learn the idea of optimism. It can definitely be very beneficial for an individual to know what it is that actually motivates people to give their best in whatever they do. When you start to figure it out, it will be easier for you to apply it in your own life by finding your ultimate motivation.

Job Interview success depends on more than what you say. What you do can also determine whether you become a new employee or remain in the unemployment line. Pay close attention to your body language, for a successful job interview. Attention to Details During the interview, the person(s) conducting the meeting will be looking, as well as listening. Sometimes, what is not said speaks louder than the actual spoken words. Therefore, it is extremely important to pay attention to the following details: Clothingr The Handshaker Feet Positioning Seatingr Arm Positionr

What would you say if I tell you that you have the power to control your destiny and to create a better future for yourself just by thinking and focusing on the things you really want to achieve in life? You may think… “that is too good to be true.” Well, let me tell you that the brain is the body’s most powerful electromagnetic “tool” and with its help, you can break or destroy negative cycles to be able to create a life full of happiness, love, and abundance.

We're 4 weeks into a new year, and many of you have likely given up on whatever new year's resolutions you set. Don't beat yourself up; new year's resolutions are inherently fraught with barriers to success -- but that's not what this article is about. Instead, this is the first in a series ...

I’m fascinated with people. Whether I’m standing in line at the grocery or sitting in an airport, I’m often noticing--with great curiosity--how we breathe, move and shape our bodies as we go through the world andrelate with each other. One of the things I’ve noticed is that many people are ...

They loved you as best they could. One thought I hear from many of my younger clients and students is that when they grow up they will never be like their parents. One issue I work on with many of my older clients is an attempt, often unconscious, to fix their mother or father. They may not ...
