“When I try to do the work, to approach a task or push through my procrastination, a battle ensues in my mind. I wind up feeling so intimidated that I take a seat and let the battle go on. I get so distracted that I’m paralyzed and I don’t get done whatever I wanted to do. It’s limiting – it limits my ability to set goals and to dream of new things in my life. It tears me down and I feel like I have no control – that my life is out of my control.

Can a Vision Board really help you to realize your goals? If the key to a successful life is to remain positively focused on your goals, then yes a Vision Board can help. What is a Vision Board? A Vision Board is a visual collection of your wish list for life. It's pictures of whatever you ...

In my 25 years as a healthcare practitioner, I’ve come to notice an important trend in the way that most people view themselves and their health. Our current medical mindset is fixated on treatment. When I say “our” mindset, I don’t just mean that of the professionals ...

I want you to visualize a big 747 plane—big jumbo jet with whatever colors and emblems you want. As big and complex as a 747 is, the success of its operation relies in great part on a few small things. Things like tires for example—at least small in relation to the size and cost of the whole plane.

Within is the person we really are. Within lies our very existence. And only from within can we make it happen. This is where our very all subsists. Within you is the ability, the “what it takes” to make it all happen for you, just the way you want it. WITHIN! WITHIN!! WITHIN!!! Oh what a place! ...Within is the person we really are. Within lies our very existence. And only from within can we make it happen. This is where our very all subsists.

Feeling in balance and relaxed in the high-stress, fast-paced life of our contemporary western world, may be a challenge for some, and have others simply thinking there is no time for themselves. One of the best things you can do is to cultivate the art of letting go and learning to give yourself “me time.” Learning to relax and take time for self is something many in the western world simply overlook or do not see as important.

This posting is about forgiveness. I don’t know about you, but most of the time when I have seen forgiveness addressed it involves the actions of two or more persons. This posting will take a more focused view where it mainly involves action of a single person. Part of improving oneself leads to becoming powerful. Part of how power is used is improving your quality of life and the life of those around you. Let’s talk about the relationship between power and forgiveness.

These Meditation FAQ's Can Be Used As A Self Check For Your Meditation Practice or If You Are Thinking About Meditating As A Beginner. What is meditation?

Do you remember the very first few moments of your morning immediately after you awoke? I do. The reason I remember those moments is because I have trained my mind to pay attention to the details of life. I now notice the smiles on the faces, the sparkle of enthusiasm and hope in the eyes and the words that are spoken

Many people walk through life making career, relationship, and other life decisions in response or in reaction to others around them. This is an extremely toxic way of living because these people will never live based on their own life designs. If you never realize that you are following this pattern, it is possible that you will live the majority of your life at the mercy of others—never really doing what you want to do, and possibly never even knowing what it is you actua

The word ‘focus’ is often used in the context of success. We’re told, for example, that highly successful people are better focused than the rest of us. We hear stories about athletes or sports people who are totally focused. Surely, if either you or I could get some of this focus, at the very least, our lives would be the better for it. We might not end up being world-beaters – we may not even want to be world-beaters – but a little focus, a bit more success and a lot of happiness wouldn’t go astray!! So, what is focus? What does being focused mean? How can I focus my mind?

When you invest in your personal development you take responsibility for your life, your circumstances and your happiness. You become the agent, the doer, and the affecter. If, on the other hand, you sit back and don’t make the effort to take charge of your life you set yourself up for events ...

Telling the Truth is a Loving Act rn rnThe tendency in most organizations—whether large companies, government departments or even family units—is not to rock the boat and refrain from telling telling our truth. For a variety of reasons, we hold back from saying what's true for us. We may fear being ostracized, held up for promotion, ridiculed or even fired. But that's not the way to greatness; that's the way to mediocrity or even failure. To grow, we have to tell the trut

One of the greatest things about being involved in and around a motivational and sales training business that's oriented around The NEW Think and Grow Rich is all the actualization that comes, in addition to our prime target. For instance, when I go into an enterprise, my target may be to increase productivity, to increase sales. That's what we're normally focus on. And I'll tell you, there are so many different nuances, so many different manners of thinking that you need to get into the subconscious mind-and so it's a real jazz doing it.

I spent some time with a client last week who talked of his fears for the state of his business, how he was afraid of what others would think of him if his business collapsed and how he was afraid of where is marriage was going as a result. Although he believed his problems to be unique, the conversation reminded me of many that I have had over the recent past. It reminded me of the proliferation of media commentaries at present that “markets are gripped by fear”, people are “fearful for their jobs” and that people are “afraid they will lose their homes”. All these problems ar

We all want more out of life. Some of us want to change our lives radically – some of us have things about ourselves that we want to change. But, unfortunately, for most of us, life keeps getting in the way! The stress of everyday life – yes, millions of people are suffering from stress and national health services worldwide are leaking money trying to cope with the related health problems – stop us in our tracks.

According to Wikipedia, “Electronic commerce, commonly known as e-commerce or eCommerce, consists of the buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks. Modern electronic commerce typically uses the World Wide Web at least at some point in the transaction's lifecycle, although it can encompass a wider range of technologies such as email as well.” Almost everyone in business these days conducts eCommerce to one level or another. Even professionals like dentists, lawyers and accountants.

The word Reiki is said to mean ‘Universal Life Force Energy’. The term was coined and developed as a healing modality in the early 1900’s by Mikao Usui, a Japanese metaphysician. Usui had spent many years questing for peace and harmony and during a long fasting and meditation retreat he experienced a moment of epiphany. He realized that not only does everyone have within them the ability to find peace, happiness and health, but he also came to understand the keys that would help others realize this truth for themselves.

Lots of people don’t like where they’re at in their lives. Some regret their missed chances – my grandmother used to repeatedly tell me that she wished that she was 18 again! The male “mid-life crisis” sees many such disillusioned people trying to re-find their youth – often with the help of a youthful mate! Over two-thirds of people believe that they don’t like the job they’re doing – most say that they do it for the money. Others are in – and prepared to stay in – unhappy, dysfunctional or even violent relationships. Many people’s “nows” are not all they sh

I know, I bet you that you think the title of this article is the wrong way around - but, unfortunately, that's how the vast majority of so-called "normal" people approach their daily routine. A recent survey of US employees by Gallup found that 74% of people don't like their work or workplace - and are either "sleep-walking" through their day or are actively engaged in trying to make the remaining 26% dissatisfied too! If you start each working day with the useless thought that you don't like your work or workplace, you've already made that day's work so much harder.

Whether you call them challenges, opportunities or big hairy problems, the only people without them are in the graveyard. Someone once said don’t wish for smaller problems, wish you were better. The fact that you have problems at all are signs of growth, progress and movement. Once we set a goal it is often only then that a problem shows up. Without the aspiration or goal the issue wouldn’t appear on our radar. Outlined below is a simple 5 step formula for Powering through any Problem.

The ground-breaking science of quantum physics explains to us that you and I – indeed, everything in our world and in our universe – are energy. Nothing more, nothing less. And the manner in which we manage our energy has a direct moment-to-moment impact on our lives. Every action that you take, every word that you say and, most importantly, every thought that you have is an explicit use of your energy. I’ve placed heavy emphasis on thought, placed it higher in the order of things than either actions or words. The reason is simple.

“Be the Change You Want to See in Your Lifetime…” - Mariano M. Jauco _____ Increase Your Dignity and Respect I recently read a story about a person named Jim Rohn, who is probably the classiest business teacher on the planet. Jim is in his 70’s and has spoken to millions around the world; perhaps you have heard him speak. Jim was traveling in Carmel, Califo ia, with his wife before they were married, and they pulled up to a gas station. The attendant cleaned the windows and offered to vacuum their car; he was very friendly.

Myself and my family recently spent an evening on our balcony star-gazing – watching the annual Perseid Meteor Shower – when the earth passes through a band of wayward comet grit. Many people might just see one shooting star in their lifetime – but, in the space of about twenty minutes, we counted a dozen. It was a humbling experience. Here we were, five insignificant dots on the balcony of a house – no more than a dot on this planet which, in itself is no more than a tiny pebble spinning at high speed through a vast space.

You’re one of those people who want to, to quote Oprah, live your best life. So, you’ve read the books – you know the ones, those feel-good self-help books. And you felt good while you were reading them. But your life has gone on much as it did before – with the normal stress and worry of everyday life – and, instead of feeling good, you don’t even feel bad – you feel worse! Because you’ve explored, you’ve read about it, you know that it works for others (or maybe all those self-help authors are just making it up!) and you’ve discovered that it hasn’t worked for you.

Are cell phones appropriate at the dinner table? For many, the answer is an obvious “no.” Not only answering a call or viewing a text at a meal, but also placing the phone on the table or refusing to turn it on silent are considered rude gestures while dining. Yet for a younger generation constantly connected through text messaging or email via cell phones, perceptions of what is rude and what is acceptable vary greatly. Feelings are mixed as to whether the presence of cell phones at the dinner table truly are inappropriate, and to what degree it is proper to use them.

Who you are, including your dreams, will not be more important to someone else as you will be to you. Yes, you are the only one who will have a vested interest in your life and in your dreams. Many times we want others to value us, we want them to consider us important to their lives and we want them to take an interest in our dreams.

Change is often very difficult for people to accept and yet it’s happening every minute. The only thing certain is change. When you find that things are not as you want them to be in your life, it’s time to get comfortable with change. The Comfort Zone Change means many things to people. It ...

It’s not at all a cake walk trying to build a successful MLM business these days. For one thing, you have a ton of competition. Good competition from all the other legitimate MLM home business opportunities.

Identifying Personality types is a valuable tool and skill that allows you to understand the basic construction of your own character traits and the personalities of those who you interact with in your family and social network. It empowers you to "know" how to relate to others(and how they relate to you).

When was the last time you took an honest look at the life you’re in today? Does your life represent a path you’ve chosen for yourself? Is it based on your dreams and created by decisions you’ve made about how you want to live each day? Or did you simply happen into your current life as a result of circumstances. Maybe you’re living a good life, not all that you dreamed it would be, but it’s okay. After all a lot of other people have it tougher, right? There Are Two Ways to Live Your Life

Consider the thoughts that go through your mind on a daily basis – the fears, doubts, criticisms, and judgments. If you knew that other people have the same thoughts about life, their mate, their kids, the organization, about their co-workers and bosses, and about themselves as you have, ...

here have been so many books and examples about the power of positive thinking that it seems unnecessary to even mention it. Yet, I still see examples every single day of the power that negative thinking has over people. So, either people haven't gotten the message or they're just plain not paying attention. I hope that doesn't include any of you, because I don't have much tolerance for that kind of attitude.nnWhen I started thinking about writing this piece, I realized that

Sarah-Jane reached a near death point many times in her life until she demanded that things change or life was not worth living anymore. After spending years searching for the answers and trying to make sense of the insanity of her life, years of trying to do what was supposed to bring happiness, she reached a breaking point. Surviving suicide, chronic disease, mis-diagnosis, labels and mental breakdown, she realized that there had to be more to life than this and if there wasn’t she was not interested anymore.

Real life is full of possibilities and opportunities that the normal mind is unaware of. That’s because the normal mind is rarely present – our subconscious mind expends most of our energy focusing on its internal ‘stored knowledge’. Taking the psychological-speak out of the last sentence, we are normally living in the past – and we’re completely unaware of it. In fact, generally speaking, we’re unaware, full stop!r

I was recently asked the difference between a "Leader" and a "Manager or CEO". A very important question at a time when those with real leadership qualities will outshine the "normal" people who've risen to a position for which, in reality, they are ill-equipped. Which leads me to the title of this article. I prefer to be a little more upfront and call a spade a spade. Because, if you're not a "leader", regardless of what position you hold in your work or in life, you're missing out on the unlimited possibilities that life has on offer for you.

Definition of clutter: Anything you own, possess, or do that does not ENHANCE your life on a regular basis. Most of us have a little clutter here or there, and well yes, some of us have more than a little. The most obvious toll lack of organization takes is the added stress on one’s life. While reducing stress, increasing productivity and saving time and money, are some of the best motivators I know for getting and staying organized; there’s another good reason … and that’s about more than just effectively organizing your stuff.

Ready to explore jou aling but not sure how to get started? Here are some guidelines to get you on your way. The type of journal you use should reflect your own needs, preferences and style. There are lots of choices. To begin, do you want to write on paper or type into a computer? Computer jou aling differs from paper jou aling in significant ways but both are acceptable. Writing is a more natural form of expression that we've used for generations. The form of our freehand script can both bring out and show emotion.

We all have things to do. These things to do vary in their importance and in the degree of difficulty we associate with their completion. The fact is that if we choose to we do not have to do anything about anything. We do not have to pay our taxes or our next mortgage repayment, but we do ...

Family discord during the holidays is extremely common. It is a familiar theme we see in movies such as Home for the Holidays, The Family Stone and Four Christmases. However, the holidays may be the best time to start on a new path to “affording” the life you wish to lead. Frequently, the stress we feel during a family holiday get-together is rooted in unresolved tension and emotions from our past experiences. The “challenging life events” we have all faced in our past can change our behavior and lead us to bad habits that negatively impact our lives and relationships.

The body is just a manifestation of consciousness on the physical level. In fact, we're just thinking and feeling that we have a body. Using this astonishing concept, we can make elimination of the roots of back pain very simple and straightforward.r

The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched; they must be felt with the heart. - Helen Keller, 1880-1968, American Blind/Deaf Author and Lecturer _____ The greatest men and women of all ages have practiced solitude regularly.

Raising your vibration is extremely important if you're serious about making lasting changes in your life for the better. It is one of the key principles in applying the Law of Attraction and manifesting your dreams. Once you raise your vibration to a higher frequency, you will feel healthier, happier and more fulfilled, and your ability to manifest is cranked up a notch. Why Raising Your Vibration Is Important The Law of Attraction states that "like energy attracts like energy". But what exactly does this mean?

The Rabbi at our synagogue has a way about him. He is short and bearded, and he reminds me of Papa Smurf. He sings and plays the guitar during services, chronically forgets the page number that we need to turn to, and makes a point of personally saying hello to all of the members in attendance. There is something about him that people are drawn to - his kindness, his warmth, his easygoing demeanour, his peacefulness. He just has a way about him. Each Saturday follows the same basic flow of song and prayer.

Self-Esteem (SE) is your child's internal barometer as to how they see themselves. It is the core value or worth they place upon themselves. SE is the primary resource affecting the degree of happiness or unhappiness, success or failure your child will experience in the world. Our children's SE begins at infancy and by the time our children are 5 years old they have already learned about 75% of what they will use for the rest of their lives, and the foundation of their SE is beginning to harden.

Have you ever had an argument? It’s a silly question, for sure. Everyone has. You know, in that moment, when you’re so sure that you’re right, when you just wish the other person would hear you - your version of reality, that is, your right way of looking at the world. If they would only understand the world the way you do, everything would be fine! But then, they are thinking the same thing in that moment, believing you should listen to them. Their way, after all, is the right way, the only way.

I wish I had a dollar for every time someone had said to me, alte ative therapies, don´t believe in them, all that "new fangled", "new age" stuff. Indeed, when I first started as a therapist, doctors regarded me with great suspicion and would certainly have voted to have me burnt at the stake as a witch had we lived in less tolerant times.
