Youth Baseball Practices Don¡¯t Have To Be Long To Be Good
Back in the late 70's an old college professor of mine was fond of saying, "Don't confuse activity with accomplishment." Jump forward about eight years and imagine me observing a coach running practice for his little League team. At the start of practice most of the 10, 11, and 12 year olds are very enthusiastic. As the practice progresses I notice only two forms of activity taking place. One has the head coach throwing batting practice, with each hitter getting 10 to 15 swings while each pitcher takes a turn throwing to the assistant coach as the others stand and watch. I, too, stand and watch and I don't know who is more bored- the players or me. When I saw a member of the board of directors, I commented on how poorly I thought the practice had been run. The board member responded, " If you think you can do a better job, then volunteer to coach." (Me and my big mouth.)

Your sacred space
Many of us have a place in our lives where we feel especially free and creative. They are places we retreat when we want to recover from a bad day, celebrate a good day, think through a knotty problem, or write the first draft of our next chapter. Some people head for the hills and the parks, but sacredness can come anywhere: one friend confided that she wrote her best grad school papers in a pizza parlor. Sometimes your entire home, and sometimes a special room in your home, will be a sacred space.
Your Reasons To Be Thankful Abound
Tracking our things to be thankful for - Everyone of us has many things to be thankful for. The problem is that we don't always see this to be true. Me included :-). Therefore; playing something as simple as the thankfulness game can do wonders to get us track. This is something that takes little more effort on your part then your time and commitment to actually carry it out.
Your Psychic Time
Here's a scenario you're probably all too familiar with: You get up, take a shower, eat breakfast, get dressed, and go off to work, all the while trying to feel positive and hoping for a great day. You hit heavy traffic (or the bus or train is crowded), you remember the kids forgot their lunches, and finally you look down to realize that you're currently wearing your cup of coffee. Your stress and anxiety levels have risen to critical levels before you even get to work. So if you don't stop, breathe, and check in with yourself, the rest of day will most likely be crazy, leaving you scrambling to catch up. And obviously, if your body and mind are stressed, it's that much harder to acknowledge and listen to your intuition. But one of my students doesn't settle for “living” like this.

Your Plan to Stop Smoking: Is It A Resolution That Makes Sense?
Now that we're into February, many peoples' New Year's Resolutions to stop smoking are just a fading memory. If you are one of those who have postponed following through on your stop smoking resolution, I'd like to give you some realistic ways to get back on the right track towards a life that is free from tobacco. What I will show you here are some of the key things I've learned in over 20 years of research into smoking cessation methods and products.

Your Life is What You Make It
A recent article in a business magazine asked the question "If the economy is doing so well, why does everyone feel so bad?"
Your life is a do-it -yourself project!
The responsibility of working hard, planning and living a successful and fulfilled life falls largely on you. This simply means that from this point forward, the burden of shaping your adult life is on your shoulders. The sooner you realize this, the better!
YOUR INSURANCE CLAIM~ MEDICAL INSIGHTS AND EXPENSES
There’s nothing that has a greater impact on evaluating a personal injury insurance claim than the damage done to your body, the medical bills that are a direct result of that injury and the “pain and suffering” you were forced to deal with.
Your Happiness Is Critical To This World
I have a theory. No, it’s more like a dream, a hope, a strong desire. It’s not a unique dream. Many have dreamt it. It’s the desire for the all those on this planet to be loving towards each other. For peace and tranquility among mankind. For a song, which if heard by distant planets, would sing out, “We Love.?
Your Greatest Resources

You KNOW Your Life Mission is in your Heart
If a magic fairy had visited me as a young girl and told me I would be a journalist when I grew up, I would have said, “No way!” That was the last vocation I could ever imagine for myself. The evening newscasts frightened me with their macabre scenes of violence and atrocities. I would flip off the television if a story came on about abuse or crime. I had an internal instinct of love and peace that didn’t settle with what I saw on the news.
You Don't Have to Know Everything
Several years ago I was listening to a radio interview of a famous multiple award-winning actress. She’d been in the business a long time--in movies, on stage and in television. She was and still is admired and respected by her peers as well as the general public.

You Can Turn Back Time
Scientific studies show that aging is as much a state of mind as any other aspect of health. That means you’re only as old as you think you should be.
You Are Your Authority
Years ago, I discovered that the critical people in my life, who loved to pick at me and tear me down, were just echoing the condemning voices in my head. I'd spent so much time distracted, defending myself against those outer critics, that I hadn't addressed the real issue, how I felt about myself. I'd given the past, and the people in it, authority over me.
You are the child, you are the parent
I always believed myself to be this open, enlightened father in relation to my daughter, Thom. I was genuinely convinced that during the first 4-year period of her life, I had not made any significant errors that had adversely affected her growth and development. She's a happy, bright and lovable kid and our relationship is wonderful.
You Are In Control!
You may well question the statement made in the title of this article. There are many who feel they have little or no control over their lives. That things happen to them which are totally beyond their control.
Yoga Therapy
In this article we will look briefly at yoga as therapy, specifically how this can happen in the West. A lot of people in the West seek out yoga because they hope it might prove to be a means of healing an ailment or an injury. These ailments can range from stiff or painful backs to more serious conditions like asthma or depression. Indeed, the world in which we live, the day to day postures we assume, the stress which many are under, and barely able to cope with, has created a large segment of the population in the West who are in need of yoga therapy.
Yoga For Inner-Self Knowledge and Harmony
There is no any other discipline more helpful in achieving knowledge of inner- self, and harmony with the world than Yoga. Bio-energy knowledge of methods of mind and body healing cannot be completed without studying Yoga.

Working on Your Groove
We all come to a point in our lives, like in the movie “How Stella Got Her Groove Back” that we lose sight of who we are. Life has a person in so many different roles such as parent; employee and spouse we tend to loose “us” in being there for others. Although Stella got her groove back by meeting a man that was 20 years younger than her, how do we know that Stella’s groove is going to stay? Stella still had some matters in her life that she needed to clear up before taking a vacation to Jamaica. Taking a vacation is a temporary fix. When you come back all the problems are still there waiting on you.
Working from Home ... For Yourself or Someone Else?
Although many people badly want to work from home, not everyone wants to have to launch and run a fully-fledged business of their own in order to do so. For such people the desire to work from home is more about maximizing time to be with family, physical location, comfort and convenience than it is about entrepreneurship.

Communication: WomanSpeak: Women Need Communication Tips Men Already Know!
Women learn to speak from imitating other women in nearly every culture in the world. Thus, certain lacks and gaps in speech communication haunt women from one generation to the next. Additionally, studies show that male students are often somewhat favored over female students at every academic level in schools. Men often have more experiences speaking before groups. They learn methods of communicating by imitating other men from childhood onward. This often makes males better at skills such as negotiating, the job interview, public speaking, leading meetings, introducing speakers, moderating panels, and more.

WHY WE NEED DETERMINATION!
If it is our aim to succeed in life then many qualities will be demanded of us. We must have not only courage and ability, but also intelligence and integrity to name just a few. To aspire to success you will also need to understand, either consciously or instinctively, the necessity of having a worthy goal and believing in its eventual realisation. And above all, to reach that goal you will need to have in your armoury one of the most valuable weapons you can possess, the power of determination. There are thousands of people around who have great talent and ability and yet because they lack the determination to strike out sadly achieve little. There are many well-educated and knowledgeable people, who, because of their lack of vision, will forever occupy lowly positions. They are, sadly, the losers in life who see the major successes going to those who are often less well equipped than they are. The determination to succeed is the factor that distinguishes people who are great achievers from those who are co

Why the Elephants Don't Run
A number of years ago, I had the rather unique experience of being backstage in Madison Square Garden, in New York, during the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. To say the least, it was a fascinating experience. I was able to walk around looking at the lions, tigers, giraffes and all the other circus animals. As I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the ele-phants could, at any time, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not. I saw a trainer near by and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no at-tempt to get away. "Well," he said, "when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They think the rope can still hold them, so they never try to br

Why is Coach Bobby Knight Explosive?
Bobby Knight is presently the head basketball coach at Texas Tech. Prior to being hired by them Bobby Knight spent twenty-nine years coaching basketball at Indiana University. In those twenty-nine years he coached many successful basketball teams and in fact, brought three NCAA basketball championships back to Indiana. He was recognized as a strict disciplinarian and used a “hands on” coaching style. Coach Knight was feared and respected not only by the opposing team, but by his own players as well. His winning tradition at Indiana University made him an icon for college basketball. Here is a man who was at the top of his game and appeared to have it all. So what happened? Why did Indiana fire him as their head basketball coach? Essentially Bobby Knight lost his job when he lost his temper. It has been said that people are a lot like steel, once they loose their temper they are rendered useless. Unfortunately when most people think of Bobby Knight, they picture an irate coach throwing a chair across the baske

WHOSE PICTURES ARE YOU TAKING HOME?
While walking through Costco, I noticed the large bin of photographs that had been processed and were waiting for customers to pick up. There were probably a couple of hundred packets listed alphabetically according to customers’ names. I was struck by the fact that all of these personal bags of photos were just sitting out in the open, to be purchased on the honor system. Anyone could have stolen any of them, or taken someone else’s package and paid for it as their own.

But that's not true and your business couldn't survive if nobody cared. In fact, people care so much about your business that it is actually they, and not you, who ensure continued prosperity. These people are called stakeholders because they hold a personal interest in the well-being of your company.
Who Needs a Rear-view Mirror? Successful Living by Mastering Our Past
When driving, we need to check our rear-view mirror every few minutes to perceive dangers lurking behind — tailgaters, hecklers, over speeding cars, and drivers under the influence. Aside from anticipating threats, it helps us contemplate our next move, giving us enough time to be cautious before overtaking or stopping or . . . slowing down.

At this point in my education at the University of Earth, I’m pretty well convinced that our ability to experience and enjoy life hinges on the type of mental programming that we’ve each managed to accomplish over the past several years.

Not because of a lack of enthusiasm or good intentions mind you, but rather a lack of knowing where to start.

To create a wonderful life, you first need to make a choice: will you use your thinking to help yourself to the happy, fulfilling life you wish for, or will you allow the often haphazard, random ideas we gather over time to non-consciously run your life for you? What you think leads directly to feelings and actions. Think in one direction, you will feel and act accordingly. Think differently, your feelings and actions will be different. Those thoughts are powerful, aren't they? The only trouble is, ideas can become so ingrained that we don't even need to be aware for them to exert instant control over us.

3 Reasons Why You Should Nap in a Hammock (Not on a Couch!)
Have you ever marveled how life would be when the mornings do not turn to nights, your stars remain at a fixed position and the mountains and valleys run without twists and turns? It is droning to be part of such a world and drooping to lead this kind of life. So when we admire flexibility and relish the curves and curvatures in life, how can we fritter away the most delightful moments i.e. the time we relax and fantasize by squatting or lying on a stiff and a so called stubborn sofa or a couch? Let us delve into three good reasons to nap in a hammock and not on a couch…

What Self-Forgiveness Is
A common fear – and criticism of self-help psychology – is that self-forgiveness is a snazzy, politically correct, socially acceptable way of letting ourselves off the hook by avoiding accountability and personal responsibility. This is absolutely not true. In fact, the more powerful and accurate definition of forgiveness is quite the opposite; self-forgiveness is the natural starting place for anyone who wants to lead an ethical life as free from hypocrisy as is humanly possible.
What Is Your Base?
Do you have a base? A place within you that says, "Yes, I will do this." Or "No, I won't do this." Your base is called many things. Your morals, your way of standing true to yourself, your conscience, your belief system, etc. For today, we'll just call it your base. It's the place where you know deep in your heart what's right.
What is Reiki?
The question is an intellectual one. Our conditioning always looks for quantifiable evidence. Yet given the nature of Reiki and the priorities as well as capabilities of today's science this evidence is scarce. Another type of evidence, however, is emerging and establishing itself. This is the testimony of the human experience, echoed down the ages, which is boldly changing our thinking and being. Fundamental ideas about health and well-being are being transformed as a direct result of the reigning mechanistic model of reality. This model, of which allopathic medicine is one segment, views health as the absence of disease in body and mind; a static state that limits the definition of health. Health is a dynamic state involving our whole being. By missing the forest for the trees, our healthcare system has exacerbated our psychophysical challenges, which are formidable in this increasingly complex and toxic world.

What is Life Balance?
Balance could be defined as having a strong personal foundation, an appropriate level of stimulation in each life area, and knowing your limits. Each person will have an individual definition of balance; based on their life unique situation. However being balanced does imply making conscious choices and having more control over your life. Alan Loy McGinnis, in his book, The Balanced Life, “I have discovered that highly effective people are not so much brilliant as they are balanced.” In other words, balanced people are not workaholics. Stephen Covey also discusses this concept in his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, “Equal energy is devoted to both work and family.” Balanced people do not buy into the myth of “having it all.” In fact, they realize that to find their unique balance, some things will have to be sacrificed at one time or another. Balanced people do not let areas of their life negatively impact the other parts of their life. Obviously you cannot honor family and career if one or the
WHAT IS FENG-SHUI? HOW CAN IT BENEFIT YOUR HOME, FAMILY AND BUSINESS?

All creatures act on their environments, and their environments, in turn, act on them. We are all engaged in co-creation in our offices and in our families by virtue of the influences we exert on each other.

What Do You Want to Get a Bite of?
On nice mornings after I give “The Boys” (my cats Gypsy and Bogey) their breakfast, I let them outside to lie in the sun and enjoy the outside for a couple of hours. Somewhere around the end of May beginning of June, I saw that my neighbor across the street had a Pit-bull puppy. Around the same time I am letting “The Boys” out, I would see my neighbor with two bowls and a blanket. He would place these items under the big tree in his front yard and then go back in the house and come out with the puppy. The puppy would have a leash that is a couple of feet long and at the end of the leash there is a 5 pound weight or dumbbell, I am not sure of the correct name for it. Anyway he would put the puppy under the tree to eat and to play under the shade of the tree. The weight was used to keep the puppy from being able to runaway.

Weight Loss: A Side Effect of Adaptive Wellness
Changing any behavior has its challenges. Changing the way you have eaten for a number of years may take a little more time than some other habits. Perhaps, you like the way you eat, you simply do not like the consequences. Left to my own choices, with no nasty consequences, I would eat chocolate cake at least twice a day until I couldn’t stand to look another morsel in the face. However, it does not work that way, there are health related consequences. Good food is one of the great joys of life and you have the right to enjoy it. Healthy food can also taste wonderful. No matter what you have heard-- they are not mutually exclusive terms.
Weight Loss Without Dieting
I hadn’t really thought too much about my 100-pound weight loss over three years ago because it seemed so simple, or natural to me. This really started by watching a show on Larry King Live. The content was on alcoholism. As a result of that show, I began to curtail my cocktailing from a daily routine to 1 day a week, and then none at all. Within a month my pants felt much looser. I liked the feeling. I then asked my wife Ellie if I were to cut back on my food a bit did she think I could lose weight. The look in her eyes was my answer.
We Learn Best from the Worst

Isn't life fantastic? Even if there are problems at the moment, think of all of the wonderful gifts that surround us. We have the ability to visit museums and beautiful parks for little, if any, charge. We can attend movies and live shows for just the price of a ticket. We have the option to eat out at an unlimited number of restaurants, and choose from an almost obscene array of groceries at the corner store. And on top of all that, we have special people in our life that we can share our love and care with.
Want a successful life? Follow your intuition.
Think of someone you know who leads a successful life. They exude an aura of calm and inner peace, yet you can almost see their “spirit.” They crackle with infectious energy. They may have millions or they may not, but their success is obvious in their “presence.” They enjoy life and they love to share that joy with others. Does that sound like you? It could be, because you have within you a mechanism that can guide you unerringly to a positive and vibrant life. That mechanism is intuition -- the compass of the soul. It’s available to you 24/7, fifty-two weeks a year, ready to point you in the direction of energy, passion, and joy. And best of all, you don’t have to be a “gifted” intuitive to take advantage of all that it offers. You can get started on a successful life – or a more successful life – right now by following these simple suggestions:

Using the Internet to Find Health Information
The Internet has opened many doors for people with a multitude of information swirling around, waiting to be accessed & downloaded. While a sizable amount may be deemed junk by those unfamiliar with the net, anyone must agree that there is a ton of good as well out there. A key area of good net content is that of health and healing related information. At one time, health topics were usually in the new age or natural health genre, even boarding on the side of quackery & obscurity but nowadays every company, branch of medicine and trusted physician worth his/her salt has a website. These websites aren’t simply billboard ads anymore either. The net surfing public is no longer satisfied with such sites, they want real information & the health field has followed suite.
Using Autosuggestion
Using Autosuggestion - Did you know that our subconscious minds work hard towards making the things it hears a reality? With that said the question should be asked "what kind of inner dialog is our mind hearing the most of? Is it negative or positive? What kind of language do you use with regards to your goals.
Unveiling of Fear
Numerous labels have been placed on fear in an attempt to cover the wide spectrum of avenues down which we come face to face with this, often times misunderstood, force in our lives. In our world of dualistic views and beliefs, courage would definitely be pinned as Fear's opposite or neutralizer. But this type of comparison minimizes the true nature of Fear and undermines the real purpose Fear has in our lives. Fear is not to be conquered or hidden; it is to be acknowledged and then unveiled.

Does writing a booklet make you an 'authorlette' ? It sure does. That is one of several key reasons to write an informational tips booklet - author status as an expert on your topic. It takes much less time, money, and stress to write a booklet than writing a full-length book, and can bring as many or more benefits. Writing a booklet is less overwhelming than writing a book. If you have already written a book, you might want to divide that book into booklets and make more money from the parts than you will for the whole. Or, you may want to write a book by writing a series of booklets.
Understanding Life Themes
Same old story¡¦.Same s#*t, different day¡¦.Why does this always happen to me? Sound familiar? Do you ever have recurring dreams or nightmares maybe? Recurring experiences? Keep meeting the same kind of people?
Understanding & Moving Through Denial
Just about anytime we approach the subject of alcoholics’ and addicts’ denial regarding their substance abuse, they become defensive. There are many reasons for that. One of those is because they mistakenly associate the word denial with the word lying. This is unfortunate, because denial and lying are two very different things.

Turn Problems Into Projects
Do you have a problem? Here is a simple way to turn it
TRUE SPIRITUALITY
What we call self-growth/development or personal growth/improvement is in fact Spirituality. It is much above religion and politics and forms the third dimension to our over-all personality - after body and mind. True Spirituality is to set the subdued and subjugated spirit within us - FREE - face reality, and rise towards the realms of GOD, seeking Liberation from the cycles of birth and death. It is our personal preference to nurse our spirit and nurture our own personal growth/self-development, get Enlightened/Empowered ; and in the process find true love, true power, real happiness, ecstatic delight, divine bliss and evolve further as a perfected human being, so as to attain Liberation. The whole process starts with self-acknowledgement.
TRUCK ACCIDENT FACTOIDS
Motor vehicle accidents, personal injuries and insurance claims are here to stay. No matter how far into the 21st Century American’s elect to drive (unless by the beginning of the 22nd Century we’re all zipping around in our own personal space ship) motor vehicle accidents will continue to pile up; with no end in sight!
Transformation - it is all about questions
Have you ever noticed that the older you get, the fewer friends you have, the fewer new things you experience, and the fewer risks you take? The result? Less ecstasy! In actuality, it doesn't make sense. Instead of expanding as you grow, you shrink. When you can relate to this scenario, it is high time for personal transformation. Unless, of course you like the way it is!
Transcending: Turning Pain into Poetry
Writing poetry based in personal experience gives us a chance to focus on small, manageable pieces of past events and transform them into art. When we turn our painful memories into poetry, we remember our experiences, validate them and examine them from a new perspective. As we write, we clarify our relationship to what we are writing about. We find its meaning.
Traditional vs. New Age Self Defense
The alternative self defense product, stun gun, requires a bit of introduction. A lot of people when they first hear the term “stun gun”, they actually think of the little gadget featured in many science fiction movies. In fact, self defense technology has come a long way.
Touching Silence--A Meditation
Allow me to lead you through a meditation that will allow you to directly explore the silence within you. Whether you are beginning to listen into yourself consciously for the first time or you have been doing this stuff for years, you can know this silence directly and profoundly through a simple practice that I call, Touching Silence.
Torah for Gentiles
The Jews have returned to their land to conquer it and settle it. The step that follows is to rebuild the Temple and restore the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem and with it, usher in the millenium of peace called the days of the reign of the Messiah. This is Gd’s plan in History as announced to us by our true prophets. No nation and no man can prevent it.

To gain freedom, you need a safety net
When I talk to people about moving to career freedom and becoming a free spirit, I sometimes get the question: "Does this mean I should give up my job and move to Montana?" Or people ask: "Should I quit my job to start a business?"
To Discover Your Life Purpose, Look Within
John Locke was observant when he said, “The thoughts that come often unsought, as it were, drop into the mind, are commonly the most valuable we have.” Why? Because those thoughts are the ones with the best information—the information that is meant just for us. We will be happier in our life if we can develop the skill of looking within.

`Tis the Season to Give -- 7 Different Ways!!
The first thing we may think of when we think of giving, is money (or gifts and presents which cost money). However, some of us may feel financially constrained . . . The second thing we may think of when we think of giving, is our time. With fast-paced lifestyles and busy schedules, perhaps that's a tall order, too. But wait! There are so many different ways to give. Don't think we need only time and money to make a difference. Here are five additional ways in which we can all give this holiday season:

"Time Surfing"
Live in the moment. Stay in the present. How many times have we all heard that advice? But the truth is, most human beings are either having thoughts about something that just happened or something that is about to happen in their life. Those thoughts might be from a few seconds to a few minutes, hours, days, or even longer in either direction - past or future. Very few people are capable of actually living and thinking in the constant and consistent movement of "time". I call that very rare state of being, "Time Surfing".

Three Steps Critical to New Year's Resolutions That Work
This is the time of year when many of us will make New Year’s resolutions-some out of habit, others out of the sincere hope to improve some aspect of life. Research and experience tell us that most resolutions fail. Why is that? There are many reasons-some quite obvious, such as not really wanting to make the change-but one reason that accounts for many resolution failures isn’t reported in the general literature. When you try to make a change to a life situation while violating the spiritual law of attraction you’re bound to fail. You won’t find the law of attraction in any scientific text (yet), but it is critical to any change you wish to make in life.
Three guiding principles of courage (and it’s development)
I have come under the personal belief that everyone is a leader to someone. Whether that someone be an employee (or thousands of employees), your spouse, a child or at the simplest level, oneself – you are a leader. As a leader you have the responsibility to develop a level of courage first within your self, then to instill that level of courage in those that look to you for your leadership. It is key to note here that you must first achieve a level of courage within yourself before you even attempt to instill it in those around you. Why? Well the answer is simple… how on earth can you pass on that which you do not have? You will never be able to encourage others beyond the very level of courage that you carry and demonstrate on a regular basis. Your level of courage is the only limiting bar. Raise that bar and you raise your ability to encourage others.

Thoughts Run Our Lives
The major function of our subconscious mind is to take orders! What kind of thoughts are we sifting through our subconscious on a daily basis? When we worry about having enough money, love, work, we're we're not giving orders...we're focusing on "lack" which will surely produce more of the same. Learn to drill "I am becoming a millionnaire" a few hundred times a day...find a "trigger time" and place. One of mine is in the shower; another during a walk. "My life is filled with love"..a few hundred times a day....although other thoughts are insidious, we can be firm and steady with the thoughts which will produce what we desire, not the opposite. When I first experimented with self-talk it was just that...an experiment. Shortly afterwards, we were gifted with a three week stay in Europe, then I started entering sweepstakes from a sweepstakes newsletter. In 1994 I
THINKIN' AND THANKIN'
Generally, when it comes to long distance travel, air is preferred to ground because it gets a person there and back quicker and with less wasted time. However, since my travel took me to Malvern, Arkansas and Lancaster, Texas for two weeks of speaking, I decided to drive. It provided the familiarity of my own car rather than someone’s rental, and gave me the leisure time to enjoy the landscape and the roadside stops. It was a nice 1100 mile trip.

There's More To Life Than Gathering Nuts
Flopsy was a high-achieving squirrel. He left the family nest when it was time, survived a few run-ins with retrievers, and dodged more than one Hawk in his day.

There is More to Motivation Than Meets the Coffee
The stress of unemployment can really take a toll on ones confidence and state of mind. For some individuals, it could lead to depression, for others – a mere lack of motivation and feeling of hopelessness. Employment is one of the main structures that helps individuals in our society to feel positive, develop financial independence, as well as establish hope for the future.
There Are Times When We Aren't Open to Reason
The reptilian brain takes over sometimes; it's there to keep us alive, and it's instinctual messages are strong. The limbic brain can also "flood" us with emotions. Have you used the phrase, "talk til you're blue in the face"? These are some of the times when our neocortex (thinking brain) shuts down and we "can't be reasoned with." Unless we know some EQ, that is.

The Ultimate Secrets of Truly Effective Affirmation Techniques
Affirmation technique has been used by many successful people for centuries. It has helped many ordinary people achieved extraordinary results in their lives.

The Truth About Lying
There are some people who can’t tell a lie, many who can’t tell the truth, and unfortunately, most people can’t tell the difference. Can you tell when someone is pulling the wool over your eyes? As children, we were raised to tell the truth and taught that honesty is always the best policy. We were told stories about George Washington and Honest Abe Lincoln to reinforce the virtue of truthfulness. However, as we grew older, we realized that the truth sometimes hurts and that few relationships could survive the harsh reality of brutal honesty. To keep from hurting others, we learned the usefulness of telling “white lies.” On the other hand, self-serving lies can be damaging and are frequently used for personal gain or to avoid punishment.

The Tribrain and Trauma Therapy
When someone experiences a trauma they go into immediate shock. This is very similar to hypnosis. Under hypnosis a person is more suggestible and tends to remember everything that occurred while in that state, even if it is on a subconscious level. Because of this a person, when abused, will remember vividly everything about what it was to feel like a victim and they will also remember everything about what it is like to be an abuser.

The Toddler's Guide To Perseverance
My two year old daughter asks me for ice cream about one hundred times a day. You think I'm exaggerating for effect, but I am really not. She starts when she first gets up in the morning, requesting it as her breakfast. (I say no). She asks mid-morning, several times. She asks for it as an appetizer to her lunch, asks for it when my mother is caring for her (I'm blissfully not privy to that, as I am in the world of grown-ups, coaching!), asks at snack, dinner, and about 70 other times during the day. Sometimes she employs tactics of terror, kicking and screaming until our very nerves tremble. Sometimes she flashes the sweetest smile.

THE STRATEGIC THINKING MINDSET
Textbooks on strategic planning describe actions taken in the marketplace by competing companies to gain competitive advantage. Major types of strategies are catalogued and given various names by different authors. Often these strategies and tactics are so bold and innovative that they "change the rules of the game." Leaders are increasingly being advised to seek that objective in planning and executing their strategies. The pace of change today is dizzying with new technological breakthroughs occurring at shorter intervals and global competition putting the heat on. Mergers and acquisitions change the competitive landscape unexpectedly, and strategic alliances develop even among companies that were, or still are, competitors.

The Slam Club - Want To Change Your Life? Change Your Friends
The Slam Club is informal, existing any time two or more Slammers convene and compulsively denounce other people, places or things. Malcontents pervade our society, routinely sabotaging the good feelings normal people exchange. I call these killers of good feelings Slammers and their social groups the Slam Club. Incredibly, Slammers believe that opinions, when collective, are facts. They garner these collective opinions by socializing, with other Slammers. Voila, Slam Club.

The Secret Of Affirmations
I knew the power of affirmations. For years I'd used them sporadically, and for the main part, silently. At this point, however, I needed to make some drastic changes. So I began saying affirmations out loud. I declared them in the shower, in the car, while dressing, on walks, after meditation. Within a couple of months, I had several "miracles" that helped me get my life back on track. I was looking to set up a private practice of hypnotherapy, but couldn't find a reasonably priced office. In the space of four days, I was offered two offices, and was given the furniture for both.

The Power of the Present Moment
The Power Of Personal Environments
I’ve got to admit, I’m a big fan of comfort. I like it when things in my world are stable and reliable. For example, my home is my sanctuary. I live here, and I work here. I like it to reflect peace, order and beauty, so when a messy remodeling project was underway - like the recent replacement of a water-damaged bathroom ceiling - it affected me. I was stressed and cranky. My husband might not have been quite so generous and called me downright crazed.

The Power of Perhaps
Do you find that every time you think about making a change in your life you sabotage yourself by thinking it is unlikely that you'll be able to do it?

You must learn to change these self-imposed limitations that are preventing you from reaching your potential. Then you can transform your life and achieve your dreams.

Notes are very powerful. They express your thanks, encouragement, sympathy, apology, congratulations, feelings, and requests to others.
The Power of Listening

The Power of Belief and Expectation
While you may not always get what you want, you will always get what you expect! Belief is the most powerful state of mind because your belief system defines and shapes who you are and determines your potential. I believe Henry Ford was correct when he said, “Whether you think you can or think you can’t – you are right.” Your belief system doesn’t differentiate or judge, it simply accepts as truth what you feed it. Interestingly enough, the power of belief and expectation works just as effectively on your feelings of self-doubt and limitation as it does on your thoughts of success and achievement. Think thoughts of defeat or failure and you are bound to be discouraged. In his classic book, The Strangest Secret, Earl Nightingale revealed that the strangest secret in life is that you become what you think about. If you want to know what you believe, look at what you are experiencing in your life. As within, so without. Your thoughts are creative and express themselves through your emotions, which in turn, drive
THE PLAYFUL WAY TO KNOWING YOURSELF

All you need to do is be open-minded, curious, and willing to respond instantly and imaginatively to exercises that invite you to explore your memories and beliefs, your desires, and secrets and fears, and how you relate to others.
THE PERSONALITY’S BROKEN LEGS
It is important to begin to realize that our personality is just like our body. It is not our true self, but rather a vehicle, or "mental body", through which our true self, the soul, is expressing itself. We tend to be more detached from our physical bodies than from our «emotional body» or «personality body».

The Need for Silence in a Noisy World
It is quite evident that we are living in one terribly noisy world and it seems to be getting worse every day. Everywhere we go we are accosted by loud, unwanted sound. When we enter elevators, malls and restaurants we are engulfed by musak. I recently had lunch at a popular restaurant and found the background music so loud that it interfered with normal conversation and the enjoyment of my lunch. When I asked the waitress if she could turn the music off, or at least down, she said, " I don't think we can." Surely we as a people are still in charge of volume controls.
THE MYTH OF CULTURAL PRIDE
To assume the proud mantle of our culture or heritage is to perpetuate a lie. Each of our lives is lived in the camp of the enemy, so to speak. If you were an Arab who hated Jews in your last life, you are probably a Jew in your current one. Which heritage are you supposed to take pride in?
The Motivating Power of Vision
One aspect of the vision statement that is often overlooked, however, is its power to motivate your employees. I see far too many employees who are just doing their job. They may be performing well, but it is still just a job. The spark is missing. Most people share a yearning to be part of something bigger than themselves. Something they can be excited about, feel good about, that will challenge them to do something important and give performance that is "above and beyond."

When I was a kid, my mother took me to a beautiful Walt Disney's movie: 'The Awakening Desert'. One of the scenes showed a huge cactus suddenly transformed into a flowering phenomena. I never forgot how, within seconds, all the buds emerged and turned into colorful, open flowers. What I did not know, at that time, was that the scene was photographed in slow motion and was shown in fast motion. For me it still symbolizes how quickly something that represents rigidity and pain can be transformed into beauty. For years I've tried to catch the moment when a flower opens and it's petals start to bloom, only to miss the exact moment again and again. It was suddenly there.
THE MECHANICS OF WISHES
Here is how our physical world works. When we wish for something, that energy goes out into the world and every suitable person around us is given the opportunity to make it happen. The one who follows his intuition and provides our wish, goes through a kind of metamorphosis, because of this very act, which enables him to also get his heart’s desire. This type of activity happens all the time without our conscious awareness of the process.

The Light Switch, I Know It's Here Somewhere
When you find yourself wondering around aimlessly throughout the day that is a good sign that somewhere along the way you have lost the zest for the moment. Is this ok? Well, sure it is but does it feel good? No, I would have to admit it doesn't at all! Is it possible to hang on to your get up and go amongst all the sludge we trudge through everyday? Think you can and you can!
The Law of Attraction
Have you noticed that when you need something, if often just falls-into-place or comes to you from an out-of-the-blue phone call? Perhaps you have met the perfect client or life partner – just by being at the right place at the right time? All of these experiences are evidence of the Law of Attraction in your life.
The Key to Creation
Question: I would like clarification on this thought: "Your present is not a result of your past."
The Jungle and the Lion
After the downfall of the Soviet Union, the world has become a unilateral zone with an unbalanced proportion of power and authority. The United States, which then emerged as the only super power in the world, introduced as well as imposed a new World Order in the world. This World Order had nothing but a very basic rule of utmost significance.

The Introvert's Holiday Survival Plan
If you're an introvert (about 10% of the population), the holidays can be a stressful time. Here are some things to keep in mind to make it more enjoyable for yourself.
The Inside - Out Approach
No lasting change will occur in our lives unless and until we first change ourselves from the inside - out. Nothing about our job, our friends, our marriage, our finances or any other aspect our lives will change. Nothing in our physical, mental, spiritual, social or emotional life will change unless and until we change ourselves first. Most of us can identify circumstances in our lives that we want to change. However, we remain unwilling to change ourselves from the inside-out. Lasting change can never occur unless and until we change ourselves. And all lasting change comes from the inside - out.
The Importance of Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is the most important holiday of the year.
THE IMPORTANCE OF FEELING IMPORTANT
About twenty years ago, when our married daughters were in elementary school, they had a bicycle accident. Jo Ellen, our oldest, lost control of her bike and ran into her sister, Amanda, who was standing right in her path. Suddenly the front fender of the bike slid rather abruptly between Amanda’s fingers, and left a sizable gash that required several stitches.
The Heart of the Matter
From the distant years of my childhood a memory springs, clear as any modern photo. Weary after a long country walk - I would have been about eight at the time - we reached an inn. Gratefully w |
