Panic and Anxiety Disorder Causes and Cures - Feel Better Today!

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.

Stop the Negative Self-Talk!

Melody Beattie has a book called Stop Being Mean to Yourself that I often lend to clients because it’s 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 don’t feel good enough. We live with a mean voice in our heads that puts us down all the time.nnIt’s like a soap opera in there! For some people, negative self-talk occurs only in high-pressure situations, like a public event; for others,

What Truly Sets You Free

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.

How Can I Develop a Positive Attitude?

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

***Being a Rainmaker

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

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.

She described her friend as someone that has everything going for her other then the fact that she w

***The Typical Mind That Asks Cannot Answer

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

Client Attraction: A "Cheat Sheet" for 50 Ways to Attract Your Ideal Clients

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.

Mental Plaque - add Mental Floss vs. Dental Floss for the hard to reach areas.

Your dentist probably told you the same thing she told me. “If you don’t brush your teeth at least twice a day to remove plaque on a regular basis, one of three things will eventually happen. You’ll get gingivitis … your teeth will decay, rot and fall out … or at the very least, your breath will be so repulsive you’ll eventually realize why you have no friends.” nn All three sounded like a bad outcome to me.
