Many people consider the mind to be part of the brain, but as Rene Descartes – the father of modern philosophy said, “there is a vast difference between the mind and the body, in that the body...is always divisible, while the mind is completely indivisible” [1].

didn’t. I thought loving myself was basically treating myself to a night out with friends or buying myself a hot new pair of shoes. To be honest, it took me quite a while to really understand the whole concept of ‘loving myself’ and it was only then did it really start to have a profound effect in my life. For me now, loving myself means a multitude of things including: 1) Learning to speak up for myself and honoring my feelings. In loving myself I realized that no longer needed to just ‘go along’ with what other people wanted.

What type of stories do you tell yourself about succeding at something? Do you tell a self limiting story? Many times when we are faced with a particular decision in life, the kind of stories we tell ourselves determine what you get. If you are one of those who come with stories of why you can not be successful at a particular thing, then you are in for a big show. How do i mean?

Many people begin the process of writing personal mission and vision statements only to find the “doing” more baffling than they had thought. Some opt for words that when pressed to define are just words that “sound good” or found on one of those sites that list common statements made up for ...

I was at a workshop recently where the facilitator contended that the purpose of the ego is to save us from anticipated future pain. Hmmm... The more I thought about this, the more sense it made. Ego can show up in a lot of different ways: refusing to debate a point; plunging INTO a debate fiercely intent on converting the other person to our viewpoint; shrugging off well-intended (and often well-thought-out) feedback; stating your opinion as if it were unarguable truth; taking offense if someone doesn't ooh and aah over article we've written...the list goes on and on.

Another glimpse of some of the articles contained in the Earth Spirit journal from Shamanic in Portugal, this is from August 2016 edition: (http://shamanicsinportugal.com/) July brought us another higher pace and notch on the roller coaster of 2016.

Creating Your Zen: Learning How To Be A Relaxed Entrepreneur Being a small business owner should be an exciting and enthralling responsibility. Frequently though, it is a major source of stress instead. Because of this, many entrepreneurs quickly become burnt out on business ownership – a mindset which can rapidly be the downfall of even the most promising companies. One skill that savvy business owners possess is the ability to create a Zen-like environment at their office b

Who are they? It clearly defines the people with whom you have the most influence. Are you using your “Sphere of Influence”? In business we are always looking for new leads and wanting more prospects but what about re-connecting with people that you already have a connection with. Answer these three questions. 1. Do your neighbors know what you do? 2. Do your friends know what you do? 3. Do the people in your every day life Really know what you do?

One of the most common complaint I hear from people is they feel tired, overwhelmed or their life is somewhat chaotic. One of the easiest ways to really take care of yourself is to become very careful and discriminative on how you choose to spend your time and energy. People’s diaries are often full of things they feel they ‘should’ do rather than being filled of caring and self loving appointments

In 2007 I looked around and realized I had in essence retired early. I was living the life of my dreams. I was doing work I would do whether or not I got paid for it and even if I only had a year left to live. What happened? So much had manifested in such a short time it felt like a mystery to me. When I watched the movie "The Secret" I realized there was a formula to what I had been practicing my whole life. Only now, it was happening so fast! I naturally had to investigate this because if it was mere luck, then it could just as easily be taken away.

You have heard it before. Life is short, enjoy each day. Live every day like it is your last. Everything in life can change quickly. In a brief moment your life can be turned upside down. None of us know when we will die or when someone close to us will.

Have you ever wondered why you are not getting ahead in life? Have you attended different seminars or even read many success and wealth related books, but unable to apply it? If you answer yes to any of the above questions. It means you are looking for a purpose in life. And am here to tell you that you are at the door of success, but you fail to understand the lock combinations involved. This reminded me of a student in my school, Adeola. Adeola is a very brilliant student but she has a but-she fails mathematics all the time.

I guess I don’t have to put a paper bag over my head to tell you how bosses think because you can’t see me. Yes, in my other life I was a boss. Besides defending the actions of police officers I never met, the next most bashed group I feel compelled to defend is bosses. Here are the 5 most common complaints I have heard. 1. My boss does not take into account that I have children. You’re right he or she most likely does not; and if they do, they probably should not. Supervisors’ jobs are not the same as that of subordinates.

Having too many negative thoughts can be harmful to not only your mood, but also your mental welfare. If you let things continue on a downward slide for too long it can also start to have a negative effect on your general health. Do not despair, because there are some simple things that you can do to leave negative thoughts behind.

I was born with less than perfect eyesight. As a kid, I wore very thick glasses to correct my football-shaped eyeballs otherwise known as myopia or near-sightedness. Over the years I’ve managed by wearing contact lenses as they work well for near-sighted people. But lately, I’ve been having issues with my eyes. Because of extreme myopia, the retinas get stretched to the point where my vision becomes severely distorted.

To resolve time management problems it is essential to uncover unhelpful beliefs and sabotaging strategies. If it was as simple as acting on what we know we would all be experts at time management. Our actions are a result of our beliefs, therefore to change our actions we need to change our beliefs. We have strategies that help us in one area but limit us in others. Successful beliefs and strategies are essential to good time management. Over committing and lack of boundarie

I was recently interviewed on Facebook Live by the Rider Fitness – Riding Without Backpain community <https://www.riderfitness.com/> where I shared about the power of “Imagery” to decrease pain and improve performance. The concept of imagery is so mighty and it is used so successfully by high performing athletes, successful leaders, inspirational speakers and people who want to improve their lives. Imagery is used more and more in the area of rehabilitation and prevention. Physical exercise coupled with imagery is extremely potent.

Some people are natural followers, some natural leaders. However, the best leaders come from people that can and have followed with a great desire to lead. They acquire knowledge from a leader or mentor, and then use that knowledge, in their own way, to become leaders themselves. Leadership Attribute #1: You Welcome Cooperation.

For most people the notion about being a leader is entwined with that of having followers. Right? Wrong! A leader is actually a follower and it matters little to him/her whether anyone else is following or not. Let me give you some examples. Did you know, George Washington was actually having a ...

I heard Christine Comaford speak at a huge event in New York City. This dynamic multi-millionaire entrepreneur and author of “Rules for Renegades” spoke of her early career days when she had her own technology consulting firm. Things weren’t going well. After being rejected 35 times in a row, ...

STOP SCORING OWN GOALS nOwn goals are actions, things we do, that stop us from reaching where we want to go or what we want to obtain. When we are out of focus, when we are out of tune with what’s going on, when we do something which takes us in the opposite direction of where we were going or should be going, we have scored an own goal. Sometimes they happen accidentally, sometimes on purpose and sometimes simply because we try too hard.n nFirst Own GoalnTo stop scoring th

Often, we all have one or two areas in our life where our hearts feel heavy. This could be any area which is important to you. Your heart could feel heavy with regards to relationships, finances, career orrnperhaps family issues. What if, for the next 4 weeks, we all took responsibility for this heavy load and took some radical action to take responsibility for what isrnmaking our hearts feel so heavy? Remember, we must give up the person we are today, in order to become the person we wish to be tomorrow! Let's take the area of relationships as an example.

We all have the potential to become successful in every area of our lives; we just need to know where to begin. In creating your ideal life, you must first realize that you have a certain amount of power; just as you are right now--no matter what you may think about yourself. You have the power to change your habits, the power to acquire skills; and most importantly, the power to choose… your happiness, your attitude and your success. Whether you are aware of it or not, you make choices constantly, every moment.

Knowing where you're going is hands-down the most direct way to get there. When you are clear about what you want, you'll be amazed at how quickly the path to get there will reveal itself. Yet, sometimes we just don't know. We still have all our old "stories" swimming around in our head - you "should" be like this, only crazy people do that, etc., and so we are limited in the options we'll even allow ourselves to entertain. The stories are what keep us stuck. Of course, I rec

As a sales strategist, I commonly witness that sales people are most comfortable selling one thing and one thing only, whatever their lead product or service is. This approach isn’t the most beneficial thing for you, or the customer. When you cross sell, it has the following benefits: It strengthens client relationshipsr It increases the value provided to the customerr It increases the CLV (customer lifetime value) It increases customer retentionr It increases the client’s perception of you as a professionalr It increases the likelihood of getting referrals.

Are you a charismatic leader or person? Not only leaders, politicians and famous people but fathers, mothers, spouses, partners, friends and our children can be charismatic or have charismatic traits. We know this because we are attracted to it. So, what attracts us to charismatic leaders and people? Is it their energy? Is it their first impression and their ability to connect with us? Is it their communication style? Many of history’s most effective leaders are labelled charismatic and there is some controversy about whether people are born with charisma or if it is made.

We hear the term “life balance” a lot – but what does it really mean? And how do we find and maintain it? I think there are two answers to these questions. The first has to do with looking at the various roles and responsibilities in our lives; and accurately and honestly assessing how we’re establishing our priorities and directing our energy. The second, I believe, has to do with recognizing and managing our internal conflicts.

Throughout your life people have probably told you not to be afraid of anything. Fear is associated with weakness. It is for cowards. You could find hundreds of self improvement blogs or self help gurus that tell you fear is a bad thing. That it stops people from living their passions, so you must pursue your dreams without fear. I could go on and on about all the reasons why people say fear is something to be avoided, but that is not the point of this article. I am here to tell you that everyone who has ever told you not to be afraid of anything is mistaken.

Despite May feeling calm, it had a challenging intensity. Particularly the last week, inducing almost a sense of lethargy. Simply wanting to go slow and allow the days to unfold rather than the next item on the "to do list"! A moment to allow transition to take place.

We often hear the word “stress” bandied about in day-to-day life. Whether it’s at work, home, or a mixture of both, difficult situations and pressure affect us all. In today’s typically hectic lifestyle and with the ambition to ‘have it all’, it may seem like stress is just part of the process and will be worth it in the end. But are we underestimating the effects that stress can have on our wellbeing? And what can we do to tackle this pressure before it has ill effects?

Nobody truly knows the most successful website conversion rate formula. There are just too many perceptions on the best and the most effective tool in online marketing.

This time of year there are plenty of runners around London, locals limbering up for the marathon. They are out every day, running along the pavements (in spite of the fact that concrete is just about the worst surface to run on) and pounding the miles to the big day.

By creating an intention, we become clear about what we want to accomplish and at the end of the day, we know how to measure our progress.

An intention evokes feelings, raises our energy and opens us up to infinite possibilities.

May is the month that we celebrate Mother's Day and it encourages us to think of all the women that have had an impact in our lives. Mothers have the innate ability to nurture, love and mentor children to live healthy and happy lives.

Each and every one of us has the ability to choose a healthy lifestyle.
