If you’ve been dieting for weight-loss for some time and have found that the diet isn’t “working” – by whatever measure you care to apply – then the reason for this has to be to do with diet, or it has to do with how you are mentally and physiologically responding.

I am sure may of our readers at one time or another, in the course of their careers have lifted a heavy load. From UPS workers and FEDEX workers may lift every day, but how about the assembly workers? How about the workers for the CTA or Metra Railroad? Let us not forget about the hard working city officials including the Fire Dept. and the City Policemen. And our federal working class such as the postal delivery. The point is, every day we find ourselves lifting, pushing and
MahaManan: The excellent –incomparable system of essential education for true & universal Human Development Welcome to our ‘MahaManan Kendra’ ( MahaManan education center). We think, customary (formal) academic (school – college etc.) education is not sufficient for true development of human beings. For that, we need such an uncustomary (non-formal) basic self-development education which can help us to be fully developed human beings.r
From Intuition to Enlightenmentr Intuition begins the path Home. At least it did for me. Following the crumbs – beyond the gingerbread house of solved problems, all the way to true inner clarity. Every individual is on a journey from being asleep to being awake. Each journey is a unique alchemy where the circumstances of life continually reveal the next steps.
Don't waste your time exercising unless you are doing the following first. Doing so will make sure your efforts in the gym are rewarded with RESULTS. Here is a checklist, beginning in order from the most important 1) Eat a solid breakfast within an hour of waking up. The meal should have adequate amounts of Carbohydrates and Proteins. 2) Dthe amount of carbs you get as the day goes on. Example; in the mornings you can carb up, but every meal from then on should be decreasing in carb content. You get with your last meal at night comprised mostly of proteins.
The upbeat messages bombard us all the time: “Just think positive,” we’re urged. Or: “You should view the glass as half-full, not half-empty.” If we seem beset with self-doubt, we’re reminded to “just believe in yourself.” I’ve been part of this chorus of cheerfulness; you’ve heard me extol the power of thinking positive as it applies to health and wellness. But that’s OK, right? A few years ago, “The Secret” (both the book and the DVD) prompted a lot of discussion with its simple message that you attract what you think about.
I am a small business owner and sometimes just to break the monotony in the hiring regiment I will ask a prospective interviewee if they would work for free. I do this because I understand that the standard resume and usual interview questions are predictable. So, when I pitch this curve ball and inquire “would you work for free” I am trying to see if the prospect can think out of the box. Now I am aware that interviewing in itself is a stressful process but well thought out or rehearsed standard answers are not what I am looking for at all.
INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS: These notes form part of a new manuscript, which I'm currently 'working on' (it's not really "work" as it seems to be 'writing itself'. I may name it 'The Real Jesus: The Jesus I Knew (and Know)' Hope it's not too "heavy heavy" for you and that these thoughts may be helpful, uplifting and perhaps even inspirational to you in your spiritual growth. THE FIVE GOSPELS: WHAT DID JESUS REALLY SAY? Let us look at the true values of the faith of Christ... Passion for liberalism, tolerance, compassion, decency and generous ideals.
"If you want to win friends, make it a point to remember them. If you remember my name, you pay me a subtle compliment; you indicate that I have made an impression on you. Remember my name and you add to my feeling of importance." - Dale Carnegien nIt's common to hear people say that they can't remember names. More often than not, what they're actually saying is that they can't be bothered to remember. It's easy to recall names when we want something from someone. If it's a p
I received this question from someone who had just read my book, Freedom’s Just Another Word, where I confront some pretty bad demons from my past: How did you overcome your fear of dealing with all the pain coming to the surface? I have not been able to conquer this fear I have of experiencing all that pain. I can talk to myself, try to reason it all out. I know this stuff is poison. If I let it all stay buried in there it is going to continue to rot my soul. I can know this in my head, but the fear is greater than my reasoning. Here’s how I responded:r
As the holidays come and go, one of the most popular remakes we see on network television is the holiday classic called A Christmas Carol. Kelsey Grammar sings about days past in the musical, Vanessa Williams reconnects with her long lost friends while Susan Lucci discovers what a Grinch she really is as modern day Scrooge. As I see it, we can learn a lot from this grouchy, ghost-fearing guy. Exactly what life lessons can we learn from Ebenezer, anyway? Those apparitions got it right it my book. After all, I never realized how on target they were!
If your divine blueprint has all the information you require for your perfect life, then it makes sense that you want to line up with what you already agreed for your life. Alignment with your divine blueprint is also called OBEDIENCE -- and of course there is another article by that name! Obedience is higher than what you think or feel, because it comes from the Spirit rather than the Soul. Obedience is like going on a treasure hunt: each time you obey the God in you, it takes you to a new place where you get the next clue, and the next.
Treadmill incline workouts provide more of a challenge but will increase your overall endurance faster than using the treadmill on a level plain. There are many treadmills on the market that have incline features built in as an option for the consumer to take advantage of getting a better workout. This closely simulates an uphill climb so the user can burn off more calories, lose more weight and strengthen muscles faster. The higher the elevation angle, the greater the body's
I recently attended my uncle’s memorial service and it was wonderful to watch 4 of his 6 children talk about him. There is no doubt that all were experiencing butterflies as they stood at the lecte but they did an excellent job controlling their nervousness. The expression of their emotions, however, varied greatly.
The Message About The Crystal Punch Bowl. I would like to share an experience that I had with a client while working as a Psychic Medium. Cindy contacted me and asked for me to channel her mother two days after her passing into spirit. I never know when I start connecting to a deceased spirit what might happen. This client had contacted me previously for a psychic reading and needed information on how to help her mother pass into spirit. I was able to give her the much needed information, and her mother passed quite peacefully.
In recent years there's been a number of TV products that promoted home fitness. While the idea of getting fit, being healthy and losing weight from the comfort of your own home is great, the reality does not always work out like that. Often times these TV products try and push some new "machine" that promises to change it all but for so many of us its simply does not work out the way its promised. While its easy to put the blame on the product it might be worth looking a li
Thoughts can be seen as one of two types. Thoughts that just appear, random ones you haven't chosen to think. And thoughts that you choose to think. The first are generally far more numerous. Normal thinking - random thoughts - bring the regular consequences which people experience much of the time. These consequences are often unforeseen with emotions, negative feelings, and you don't feel great! Think consciously rather than unconsciously
Making a lot of money as a certified life coach is possible if you just put your mind to it. The trouble is, most people seem to think that becoming a coach is easy and takes little or no effort. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, a career as a life coach can take a huge amount of investment, a lot of energy and a massive amount of time. There are ways to make the process easier such as connecting with a career coach who can guide you or by doing some researc
Whenever I hear some spiritual guru proclaim that all you gotta do is "just think happy thoughts!", it makes me want to pop him one upside the head and see how long he can keep on thinking his "happy thoughts."
Excerpt from my book: "The Crab Effect" The subtitle of this book is "How to Handle the Haters in Your Life". One thing that is incredibly evident when one sets out to follow the path and purpose that God has ordained for his or her life is that with certainty, there will be haters trailing behind at almost every turn to defame, discredit, and assassinate the very plans of God for your life. In my grandmother's time, this used to be referred to as the "Crab Effect". The reference was to the effect that steam has on crabs in a pot.
My 40th birthday was amazing! I received such beautiful blessings from so many people in my life - it was exciting, wonderful, humbling, and a bit overwhelming. As touched and honored as I was (and still am) by all of the appreciatio I got, I also noticed there were moments when it was challenging for me to fully receive the appreciation and let it in.
There is a lie lurking in the collective human consciousness in regards to romantic love. Many people hold the belief that once they find the right person, they will finally be happy. They assume that the deep, nagging feeling that something is wrong that has underpinned every past relationship will magically fade away with "the one". They hold the belief that they are incomplete - one half of a whole - and that the right partner can somehow "complete" them and escort them into the land of happily ever after.
The new age movement is not as new as the name suggests, and has been around for a number of years. Today’s popular ways of life have largely influenced this form of living. It is a combination of western and eastern cultures creating a more distinctive mode of meditation and lifestyle. Understanding the new age movementr New age meditation gurus in the east and west utilize up to date and original techniques. These breakthroughs continually make the new age meditation highly
Great leadership is about power, yet it is not about power over others. The power of a great leader is to create an environment where others are empowered to offer their best. This is not working through people where others become extensions of you, the leader. This is dedicating yourself to the growth and development of others. Great leadership is service to others. Service to others, if it is to be effective, must be egoless. In his book, Good to Great, Jim Collins discusses the leaders of great companies.
1. Under Armour Gym Bag I used the same old Adidas bag for over 10 years until I needed more room for my gear so I picked this one up at a Sport Chek store. It has room for all the gear you see, is strong and durable and matches my Under Armour shirt, shorts and socks. No I am not endorsed by them it’s simply the most comfortable workout gear which can be found at www.UnderArmour.com 2. Nike Frees Surprisingly the sneaks I wear to the gym are Nike, but for ONE reason. These aren’t your normal running shoes which is not as great as you may think for running or training.
Occasionally we make the mistake of believing in stereotypes simply due to the fact legends, books, movies, television and other forms of media tell us that they’re true. Santa Claus is a perfect example. The Victorian-age poem “A Visit From St. Nicholas” tells us (little kids, in specific) that Santa Claus can be a happy, jolly, nimble, and had a belly that “shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly.” Only an obese adult would wonder why Santa is so jolly, and how he manages to slinker down all those tight chimneys.
Past Lives - we have all had them - some more than others, yet the fact remains we all have some experience of lives before this one. All of us have at least some Karmic Debt that is still playing out in our lives today, sometimes it is also useful to understand what that debt is and why you seem to be repeating patterns. So before we start there are a few things I feel I must say to you.rnFirstly do not be disappointed if you find the life you lead previously is not someone
As Americans we spend a lot of time and energy satisfying various appetites. Many people enjoy a good meal, a good glass of wine or breathing in a fine cigar on occasion. Taking those appetites or needs a step further, it’s safe to say that many married, consenting adults enjoy the emotional and physical benefits derived from sex with their significant other.
I would like to introduce you to something called Redesigning Your Reality and it's all about changing how you perceive the world. This is something that I have learned with NLP and changed it slightly to come up with this concept. Reality Your reality is totally different from my reality, and my reality is totally different from 6 billion other peoples reality - Why is that?
If you’re like me and thousands of others on this planet, you’ve either read The Secret, watched the DVD or know what it’s about. Those of us who are familiar with the Law of Attraction (LOA), know that it has been around since Jesus and other prophets walked the earth. All we need to do is read the bible, especially the gospels of Matthew and Philip from the New Testament for examples of what Jesus preached. The Secret is a great story, full of hope and inspiration but not always accurate in regard to it’s claims about manifestation.
So as everyone else I continue to hear that things are going bad in the economy. More and more it’s being reported that programs are suffering and budgets are being cut. People are getting stressed, even though they are working, wondering what is around the corner. Who can blame anyone for thinking about this? What happens when there is a lot of negative talk or energy is that the mind picks up on it and mulls it over whether consciously or unconsciously. That’s what brains do.
Recovery from a sports related injury is 50% physical and 50% psychological. If an athletic does the physical rehabilitation, and fails to do the psychological rehabilitation, he will not return to his prior level of performance. In fact, his performance will decrease, and his chance of re-injury escalates. Careers have been shortened, teams have lost games, and athletes have failed to play at their potential because athletes have not done the appropriate psychological recovery.
Are you tired from all the running around you do each day? Have you been going and going and going? When was the last time you made love with your partner (or yourself?) I'm going to teach you THE most valuable tool for handling the every day stress. Ready? STOP. What?? (Yep, you read correctly - STOP.) The thing is -- it's an energetic thing.

It's an experience. Ready?
September 11 is my birthday. Until September 11, 2001, it had been a non-event. Nothing special. Business as usual topped off by an expensive dinner that could only be justified as a once-a-year commemorative extravagance.
Because our nervous system is wired to need others, rejection is painful. Romantic rejection especially hurts. Feeling lonely and missing connection share the evolutionary purpose of survival and reproduction. Ideally, loneliness should encourage you reach out to others and maintain your relationships.
Substance Abuse has a Profound Impact on Sex Sex and drugs always seems like a hot topic in the media and in nearly all social circles, but the reality of the situation is that sex and drugs can pose serious, lifelong consequences to those who engage in such behaviors simultaneously. There are always inherent risks associated with drug abuse, and unfortunately there are also serious risks involved with sex. This is true of each behavior independently, and it is a significantly exacerbated truth when the two are combined.
If you have a low immune system, I am sure you take all precautions to keep your health at its best. Besides vitamins and eating the right foods, have you considered your air quality? Some people find themselves suffering for years just because of the air in their living environment. Here are some of the problems you could avoid just by getting your air quality tested. When you have the professionals over to check your home for poor air, they perform something called an infra
The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched; they must be felt with the heart. - Helen Keller, 1880-1968, American Blind/Deaf Author and Lecturer _____ The greatest men and women of all ages have practiced solitude regularly. They learned how to use silence to still their minds and tap into their superconscious powers for answers to their questions. In this article, you learn how you can apply this wonderful technique immediately to improve the quality of your inner and outer life. The Magic of Solituder
“Mad Men”, which if you haven’t seen it, is terrific television (Sundays on AMC) and it walked away with the lion’s share of this year’s Emmy awards. Not to be redundant if you have seen it or to ruin it if you haven’t, the show is about a Madison Avenue Advertising firm in the early 1960s and the drama surrounding its officers, employees, and families in this time of great change. There two things that I love about the show.
rnâMaking a differenceâ is not just a scheduled event or activity, but a moment anytime when a person finds it in his/her heart to do something good, to care or to share, or to make a voluntary contribution to another individual, a community or our society.rn When we consciously give or do whatever we can to help maintain the wellness of individuals and families in our communities, these acts also contribute to the best quality of life of everyone in our society. Let us c
What has age got to do with it anyway? It is all to do with mind set. Too many people think themselves into growing old, hence the hairstyle and the clothes they wear. Even more disturbing, they listen to others telling them. “You shouldn’t do that dear, not at your age. Poppycock total nonsense! My book entitled “Looking Good Feeling Great Ladies 50 and over” is packed full of suggestions and options to help, encourage, persuade and enlighten all women who travel life’s journey.
I met the greatest teacher during the Disney Marathon this past Sunday. Better than the great martial arts masters I trained with over the years. Better than the college professors. Even better than my dad who, when I was young, knew everything. Or so I thought. The Teacher was almost everywhere on the course, yet few actually saw him. He show up at the most unexpected times, taught the lesson and vanished. Perhaps that is why scarce numbers actually bore witness.
We’ve all been taught that it’s better to give than receive. But, what if it was really the other way around? If we look deep into ourselves, we might realize that there is not a giving problem that stands in the way of our ability to receive what is right for us. Instead, for many of us, it’s actually a receiving problem. The Automatic Brain
Recently, I gave a presentation on NLP and Motivation, so I’d like to share one of the processes I designed and included there. Now, motivation is not a new concept in the field of personal development, nor in NLP. In fact, one of the ‘metaprograms’ we present in our NLP ...
• Does your work and life feel unbalanced? • Are you sick and tired most of the time? • Do you feel like work overwhelms you? You may be experiencing job burnout.
How To Tell If Your Aging Parent or Elder Needs Help We all may know someone who has been thrust into the role of caregiver for their aging parents or an elderly loved one. And as those who have had to assume this role can surely agree this shift is a major transition. But, how can we prepare ourselves for this responsibility? How can become a little more proactive? We can do this by knowing how to identify some of the tell-tale signs that may signal that our elder parents or
So, you just finished creating and uploading some nice content on your blog. Now, youâre wondering the next step that youâre going to take. Well, the best next thing that you need to do is to promote your website in the online arena to promote awareness and later on, attract as much traffic as possible.

“Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheelr Never ending or beginning on an ever-spinning reelr As the images unwindr Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind” In the last few months, I’ve counseled more than the usual number of you who’ve been going through a “Dark Night of the Soul,” a few even contemplating suicide. This has moved me to share some of my views on this completely organic and essential part of our Soul’s journey of awakening, especially since I’m in such a challenging period myself and know just how yucky it can be.
