Stressed? – It’s Time to Unplug and Reap the Benefits

Is it time for you to unplug? I mean really unplug. Stop multi-tasking, going, and doing for awhile; just breathe and be. We live in a world of ever growing technology which is absolutely wonderful, but it is important to remember to return to the basics now and then. Make time to enjoy your home, or take in the scenery, or go on an outing, or a vacation, or spend time with family and friends. Sit down and a read a book, not just for a couple of hours, but for a whole day. Or, do some creative writing, or journal, or go for a hike, bike ride, or trip.

Get Your D.I.N. Degree, Do It Now or You May Miss The Boat.

Get Your D.I.N. Degree, Do It Now or You May Miss The Boat. A Self Help Motivational Article. By Shirley Carton © 2009 I was given advise from my Grandmother, as a child, never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. However when I grew up as an adult, I always seemed to have so many responsibilities. I had listened to her and I did become efficient and orderly. I could get so much more done, in a short time, and I definitely became a workaholic. I always completed as many tasks as I could before I went to bed. I never started anything that I didn’t finish.

Creative Mastery

‘Creation begins with a vision. Seeing is already a creative operation that requires an effort. All that we see, in our daily lives, is more or less deformed by our acquired habits . . . The artist must see everything as if for the first time; he must look at all of life like a child.”n ~Henri Matisse~nnn‘So that’s the basic point, the idea of how to appreciate your life in a very deliberate, mindfulness sense, so that your sense perceptions begin to click into the sa

Ease the Stress With the Simple Pleasures in Life

With all the hustling and bustling and pressures of day to day demands at work and/or at home, either self induced or from others, people are stressed and struggling to find a balance and a sense of happiness in their day, let alone in their lives. People may start off in the morning in a positive way, but often by mid-day it quickly fades to outer or inner grumblings, and their energy and mood diminishes right along with it.

Cosmic Weather Report: Has The New Year Started Yet?

The beginning of 2011 has been about releasing old stuff (yes, still!). A lot of us have been saying "goodbye" to people, places, things that were ready to go (whether we felt that way or not) and parts of ourselves that no longer serve us. The planet received some cosmic energy transmissions and dealing with this and the "goodbyes" can have been exhausting. The first few weeks of 2011 were not "perky".r

Grace and the Gift of Awareness

God's grace can mean many things. I like to think of it as a gift we are given by the benevolent power that works in our life. Some might call it a blessing. In terms of recovery I sometimes feel grace is doing me a favor. Grace is giving me what I need at the time I need it.

Visualizations: How To Make Them Work

Visualization is something it took me a long time to understand, read: agree with. You can then read "agree with" to mean: to be able to effectively practice. Effective practice is to do something over and over again with the least resistance possible. Usually our resistance to practice comes from not having faith in the outcome, and that's usually as a result of not having practiced enough! It's an endless circle, but one that can easily be worked with for our success. Let's begin this practice for success with an understanding of what visualization is not.

What Defensive Reactions Cost to your Success

The line between assertiveness and defensiveness is usually blur to us when we respond during a stressful moment. But crossing that line can be the difference between success and missed ~or even blown~ opportunity. After more than 20 years working with spiritual, creative women in the areas of empowerment, success and manifestation, I have a wealth of observations about how defensiveness hinders our fulfillment.

From "In Service" To Inspiration

Last week I heard a woman interviewed on our local “personal development” radio station. She had just returned from a retreat with a Master. She was asked what was the most powerful transformation she had experienced during the retreat. She answered that she now felt more like the Master, whom she described as living his life, “totally in service” and as being, “completely self-less”. I thought, “What’s the problem with having a self?”

Giving Up Judgments #1 of 3

Part 1: First of all, in order to give something up, we would have to know what that something actually is. Not what we believe it is, or think it is, but what it actually is. This is a difficult disce ment to make with regard to judgments because there is a line regarding our perceptions of what is a judgment, and what is not a judgment, that when crossed, triggers our automatic mind system to reward us with the feeling of "being right" and the key point is, whether we are correct with our assessment, or not.

Confessions Of A Spiritual Teacher: Thank God (Dess) I Don't Have To Be Perfect

Perfection (doing it right) is not required to be a Spiritual Teacher. Actually, imperfection is required. Imperfection opens the way for connection and safety, which are absolutely required for a Teacher (more on this later). If I had to be perfect, I probably wouldn't be writing this and you wouldn't be reading this article. If I had to be perfect I would never be doing the work that I love so much. If I had to be perfect, my children would (probably) not be the happy, successful and wonderfully amazing people that they are (at least not yet).r

What is your intention?

The year starts with an interesting mix of uncertainty and hope.

Get It Real Not Right And Succeed!

TB Wright This will be a short article on the one most important factor in your life, in your success, and for the world, and that is: you. Unless you are as fully immersed within your own self-love, which means to be experiencing your inherent, already existing, never going anywhere, self-worthiness, then you are not reaching your full potential. My invitation? Start practicing. The way to start practicing is to do The Loving Process© over, and over, and over, again. How many times do you need to do those pushups?

Quality of Life

Today I had a chance to read one of Rick Smyre’s articles, “Transforming the 20th Century Mind.”(http://www.communitiesofthefuture.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=130:transforming-the-20th-century-mind&catid=37:articles&Itemid=91) Just before reading this I watched President Obama's Heath Care speech. I wonder if, “the living, reigning republicans will adapt to the changes in the environment - the extent to which they can do so successfully will determine their place in the evolutionary scale." (Please excuse the Richard Restack adaptation.

The Medicine of Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a life-affirming, conscious act of power, not weakness, because the forgiver holds and uses this power to free and heal all those involved, both victim and perpetrator, so both can become whole human beings again. This tremendous power to forgive the unforgivable is beyond letting go. It is actually a reintegration and formation of a new, healthy, and whole relationship with the self and others.

Using Perspective To Create Success

All things exist only in relationship to other things. If only one thing existed then, there would be no way to compare or reference it to, anything else. It would be invisible, because it would be all there was. So we seek to gain a perspective, or: "a specific point of view in understanding or judging things or events, esp. one that shows them in their true relations to one another." We do this in order to view of things in their true relationships to each other.

What To Do If You Keep Thinking About Worst Case Scenarios

Radical Life Improvement From Nothing

TB Wright It seems as if we all desire to improve our lives. But in order to do something, we have to first understand what exactly, that something is. Since we desire to improve our lives, what does that mean? Improve? According to the dictionary, it means "to increase in value, to bring about a more desirable or excellent condition." Since the specific details for each one of us that we would have to bring about in order to do that, are different, then to each one of us, to "improve" means something different!

Becoming Aware

What is Awareness?nnLet's begin by asking the question, "what is awareness?" The Oxford University Press dictionary tells us that awareness is our "knowledge or perception of a situation or fact." A great definition, but let’s dare to take it a few steps further. Let’s define awareness as the connection we feel with the world around us. Let’s also include in the definition the satisfaction we feel with our own lives. For it is awareness that directly influences both of

How We Define Success Determines The Success We Have!

What Is Success? We have as many different answers to this question as there are people in the world. So let's provide a paradigm for success that works for every single one of them, with no one, and nothing, left out. Is success how much money we have? Or how many people love us? Maybe, how many people we know? Is success the attainment of wealth, fame, or fortune? Popularity then? Perhaps a loving family? Being at the top rung of an imagined corporate or government ladder?

The Action Of Satisfaction

TB Wright *This article is specifically designed to start a thought process that will lead us away from dissatisfaction, and on to satisfaction, through practice. This takes time. The invitation is to give yourself that time, and to practice the "tell the truth now, tell the truth later" method of success, which always works toward our satisfaction. We all have a myriad of things we like. No problem. We all have a myriad of things we do. No problem either. All of us also be, do, and have, a lot of things other than that which we like.

No Pain No Gain

Those words were drummed into me by my father so many times, I long ago stopped counting up the reasons why he said what he said. Despite the untruth of them, after a while, they started to sink in. Do anything long enough, and it will become your habit, even the phrases you think with, and that influence the way you feel about your life. For the first forty years of my life, his words determined how I felt, what I did, and how I reacted to circumstances, but not in the way he would have liked them to, I am certain.

Your Niche is Bigger Than You Think

The word “niche” evokes visions of some guy only collecting comic books that have monkeys in them, or a blogger who only writes about staplers, or an online store that only sells crackers made in Colorado. Artists and entrepreneurs seem to think the word “niche” is synonymous with small, or tiny. A more accurate definition would be highly targeted, focused, and clearly defined market. Although the definition tends to make artists and entrepreneurs gravitate toward something small, a niche audience is actually much bigger than what most people think.
