Do you ever look at someone and he or she seems to be a people magnet? People, both men and women, seem to gravitate to him or her. He or she does not seem to do anything special, yet people flock to his or her side, hanging on his or her every word. You feel like a wallflower as you quietly blend into the woodwork wondering, "What does he or she have that I don't?" That answer is simple, he or she has been developing their charisma.nnCharisma is a combination of many factors

There are many sayings that remind us that what you give is what you get. For instance, what goes around, comes around captures the idea that what we give is what we will receive. For some this is the idea of Karma, and for others it is the essence of the Golden Rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I’ve been thinking about this in terms of forgiveness and have been exploring the question, What am I for giving?
Habits of highly healthy people Do you ever feel as if your heart is weighed down by over indulgence? Eating too much, drinking too much and shopping too much? With the pace of today's lifestyle it is very easy to act impulsively, but such behaviour only serves us in the short term. How we feel about our body, our lifestyle and spending habits can play a huge part in our overall happiness and sense of well being. The following habits have helped me to create and sustain a balanced lifestyle which is aligned to a positive way of thinking and being Begin your day in a healthy way
Look around you what do you see? How are you feeling? Are you leading the life that you desire, or does everything seem to be a struggle? It is a very hard concept to accept I know, but at some level you have asked for, or attracted, everything that you are currently experiencing. You are very successful in manifesting what you are thinking and feeling about on a regular basis, so you will realise how crucial it is to monitor your thoughts and feelings.
rnIn talking about the busy mind, also known as the monkey mind or mind chatter, you may be asking yourself, âHow do I begin to gain some mastery over my mindâ? rnOne of my coaching client once stated, âmy mind runs on and on and onâ¦. like a Duracell batteryâ. She too felt she had little to no control over her current mind chatter, nor reactions to situations in her life. She frequently felt mental (and at times emotional) fatigued. She would wake up during the wee
I cannot imagine now not having the fire walk experience as a chapter in my book of life. This was such an achievement to have taken it off my 'to do' list and put on the 'accomplishment' list. Actually, it is on the 'to do again' list. The intense self amazement I felt knowing that Me, Myself, and I together, controlled our body to not burn, has become an incredible anchor. It is one I retrieve whenever I need a boost in visualizing a successful outcome as I transform an ambitious dream, into an attainable goal.r

Work brings together people of different characters and behavior, and this often causes friction, resentment and stress. Sometimes the boss is too demanding, colleagues may be unpleasant, there might be too much work or the working conditions may not be comfortable. The job may be boring, there ...
Thinking positively allows you to channel positive energy within you. Positive thoughts help to promote positive attitude and elevate your mood.nnBy being negative, we focus that energy to the point where it's hard to correct situations or even to be motivated. And it also brings you down and makes you angry. What's the point of feeling like this?nn We Control Our Thoughts nnWe are generally in complete control of our thoughts. We have conversations with ourselves. Some peopl

How healing can assist with letting go of negative emotions There are many subjects like hurt, pain, letting go, grief and ego which have the relationship with negative emotions. Ego is not a good thing, it is not confidence (which most people think it is) and they are both very contrasting subjects. How does healing help with the emotional side of letting go of emotions? When a human being has so such negativity thrown at them from different directions, it sticks, some bounc
Panic and Anxiety Disorder are the most debilitating of conditions, and when they persist for long periods they inhibit the sufferer and steal the quality of our lives. Panic occurs when adrenaline is released into the bloodstream to prepare the body for fight or flight. This is of course quite a normal and required bodily function when imminent danger is present, but it can be extremely frightening for the sufferer when the feelings appear for no apparent reason.
Melody Beattie has a book called Stop Being Mean to Yourself that I often lend to clients because itâs a good book and because I love the title. It is hard to feel happy when we are so critical and judgmental of ourselves. No wonder we donât feel good enough. We live with a mean voice in our heads that puts us down all the time.nnItâs like a soap opera in there! For some people, negative self-talk occurs only in high-pressure situations, like a public event; for others,
I wish all of you a Happy Easter. Jesus was a gift to all who walk the face of the earth because God knew we would be unable to save ourselves from doing wrong. As humans it is inevitable that we would err in some way and we have in many – gluttony, greed, lust, envy, wrath, sloth and pride. At some point in our lives we have all committed at least one of these wrongs. All the injustice in this world is as a result of the negative things we have done to this planet, to others and to ourselves. Justice would dictate that we would have to face the consequences for these wrongs.

If you have read the laws of attraction, you will know that how we think, believe and feel on a regulars basis, has a massive influence on all that manifests around us. That is a very hard concept for many to take on, but scientists are also recognising that the energy that emanates from each of ...
There’s a saying I grew up with as a child: “Ungrateful worse than obeah.” It means that living in a state of ingratitude for life, your situation, your circumstances is going to keep you locked into your difficulties… It doesn’t mean that we never complained but whenever we did the elders would remind us to snap out of it with this proverb. Otherwise we were creating more difficulties for ourselves. And we quickly learned from this wise saying. I know I certainly did. Ther

After decades of striving to get before giving, it has become increasingly obvious to me that learning to give is the right way to live. Rainmaking – the art of giving productively – is a most important for right living. Rainmaking is nourishment to the spirit, as wholesome food is nourishment to the body. Without rainmaking, the soul starts shrinking. The “Law of Plentitude” makes it remarkably clear that rainmaking comes first, and, receiving is the inevitable consequence

When you think of combat, you think of a war – a battle. Right now there’s a battle inside you...are you going to commit or are you going to quit? Too many people these days will not commit, they will quit. There are 85,000 negative thoughts a day fed into our minds. You can be depressed just from billboards, bumper stickers, the radio, and that’s without your fancy phones texting you, and that’s without all your negative friends sending you negative emails. See, your belief
Positive, Possibility, Power Thinking – How to Integrate It Into Your Life By Karl W. Gruber I have long been a disciple of the philosophy of Positive Thinking (beginning, of course, with Dr. Norman Vincent Peale in the early 20th. century), and many other great inspirational thinkers and personalities. I always seem to have my nose in another inspirational, positive attitude promoting book, or my ear tuned to another CD expounding the possibilities that are available to us!
Positive thinking is a discipline that trains the human mind to change a perceived reality by repeatedly making positive mental statements. A person practices positive thinking when they derive a positive sense of well being, optimism, belonging, meaning and/or purpose from being part of and ...
Today’s empowered woman feels great and I am no exception. Depending upon how we honor our feminist foremothers, we’ve learned to be secure about being single, single mother-dom, or asking the butcher for a single chicken breast. During the last 30 years, Empowered Female evolved into a voting ...

Over the past several years, there has been huge growth in the life coaching and business coaching industries. This includes people who have always been the "great listener" amongst their friends; the corporate manager, trainer, or HR professional who's been downsized right out of a job; or even someone who has some people skills and just wants to work from home. These new life coaches and business coaches come away from their certification programs with big dreams and lots of optimism. They've developed the coaching skills they need to really help people.
I truly am amazed and blessed to have the opportunity to learn daily from my patients. Yesterday, I had a woman come to me. She was in her 60’s. She was bubbly and so full of life and energy. Of course, I told her so. She told me that a friend of hers was just diagnosed with breast cancer. She also told me that she was sort of irritated with the woman because of her attitude. She described her friend as someone that has everything going for her other then the fact that she w
Human relationships are enhanced by setting a new mental equivalent and practicing mindfulness. We can do this in at work, at home, or any place we wish to ‘rise higher.’ Changing your thought patterns will elevate your energy and attract new and better conditions in your life. But when it comes to making positive change, some of us need advice on how to adjust our thinking to make it happen. How do we attract new and powerful opportunities in our lives? Have Clarity and Passion
The typical mind can easily ask a question with eage ess, but is not really looking for an answer. It is with “wrong eage ess” that it asks. It is truly only eager to give the point of view that it already holds. The question is simply leading to that. The mind that asks a thousand questions is most often asking in order to announce its presuppositions. This mind values the feeling of “knowing it all,” and yet wants to appear humble. It can actually deceive you into thinking
I remember when I first started out online. It was so overwhelming and I felt stuck on the idea of client attraction. I was slowly learning about “where” to attract my ideal clients but it seemed almost impossible to get all of the information in one central location. I was searching the internet, attending gurus’ webinars, chasing one shiny object after the next. Quite frankly, it was exhausting to say the least. I wish I had someone to give me all of the information in an ultimate resource list that I can reference to again and again.

One Saturday morning, at age 15, I looked in the mirror and was horrified to see a huge, red pimple on my forehead. To a teenager that is a major crisis, especially when half a tube of Clearasil only makes it look worse. Who would have predicted that this zit would teach me a life lesson?nnSilly now that I look back on this incident, but at the time I was consumed with shame. I even canceled my weekend plans because I didn't want to be seen in public. nnSo you can imagine my

What Is Gratitude? Loosely defined, gratitude is the feeling of appreciation and thankfulness for all the blessings and acts of kindness that you have received in your life. As we cultivate a grateful attitude, we are more likely to be happy and successful.

The Toyota Turmoil My dad sold used cars for a living. Even though I had “owned” 19 cars by age 20, I never kept one long enough to pay off the debt. This assured that I would forever have car debt in my life. Then came the Toyota Corolla at age 20. It was the nicest car I had “owned” to ...
