Sabotaging Short Cuts

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.

Using Fear

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 ...

Who are your principle advisors?

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.

Advantage Of Using Passages In Meditation

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 ...

Pick Up A Positive Perspective

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

A New Year, a New Life

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:

Growing Into Our Humanity

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.”

Successful Entrepreneurs and The Importance Of Building A Team

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

What To Do If You Don't Know What You Want?

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.

“Why Is This Happening To Me?”

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.

Life Coaching - How She Gained Respect

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.

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.

Relationships: Why They Change

Relationships. Why do they change? So often we find ourselves struggling to maintain a long-term relationship that somehow doesn't feel as good as it used to.

Stress of Being Praised

Last week, I looked at the evaluations of a talk I had just given. One was excellent; when I glanced at the page, I realized the name of the writer. “Oh,” I remarked, “that’s just a friend.” The implication was that since the writer was a friend, there was something less valid about the praise. I had fallen into a typical error; luckily I backed out quickly.
