Writer's block is an annoying and often persistent condition that impacts all writers: and that means everyone, because everyone is a writer! A writer's block episode is a temporary situation, but we prolong the agony when we allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by it rather than meeting, managing, and mastering this challenge. You may know all too well that feeling of being shut down, not knowing what to write about or how to write it. But it's actually an opportunity to get
There is over seventy years’ research that proves conclusively that you and I, as normal people, are crazy. Our minds control us, not the other way around as it should be – as sure a definition of madness as I have ever seen. The evidence started mounting up all the way back in 1936 when a certain Professor Stroop proved that our inability to pay attention even hinders us paying attention to what we want we have decided to pay attention to!
This is one of my favorite stories about the Buddha’s travels in India. I hope you like it. In the countryside of India the Buddha is giving a talk on Dharma. Whenever the Buddha talks people gather from all around to listen to his wisdom. On this particular occasion there is a heckler in the crowd. As Buddha talks the heckler is always interrupting, trying to get a rise of anger from the Buddha. Over time the man become more and more abusive.

When you're working on a book, the question, "Will people actually want to buy this?" inevitably comes up. Although in most cases this is your inner critic trying to sideswipe your creative efforts, the question is valid. Will people actually see the value in the information you're providing? Will they want to spend their money on your book? The answer to these questions often lies more in packaging the material than the material itself.

Most people will say: "It's ok, money is not important, at least I have my health. Look at person X, he has so much money yet he is not able to buy his health." And the rest of us will nod in agreement. While what the person has said is not wrong, and the statements definitely hold some truth. It is where the person's mindset is coming from that will determine if this statement is right for him or not. We say things like the above statements to feel better about ourselves. Bu
We are told that Christmas, for Christians, should be the happiest time of year, an opportunity to be joyful and grateful with family, friends and colleagues. Yet, according to the National Institute of Health, Christmas is the time of year that people experience the highest incidence of depression.

Psychiatrists, psychologists and other mental health professionals report a significant increase in patients complaining about depression.
Behind the belief of looking upon hoarding as sin and charity as a meritorious deed lies the philosophy of abstinence of using materials when not required to do so and disallowing materials from piling up unused in one place. Piling up materials for a great length of time induces their rotting. If we insist on hoarding things many bad habits and distortions breed in our minds. The flames of envy are fanned and thus crimes proliferate in society. Modern socialism and communist
I’m not talking about heavy metal music, although frequency-wise that’s an interesting topic on its own. I’m writing about health news regarding the brain that has been published lately, and I’d like to share some of it. As an energetic health practitioner who works with the Chinese Five Element and Meridian System, Metal Element is particular to this time of year. Metal deals with intellect, precision, values and inspiration. Obviously, input=output. Mental function is directly related to what you ingest, digest and filter through all of your senses.

When the word Tantra comes to mind, one may think of ancient Eastern practices, intricate sex or images of naked gods and goddesses bursting with light and twisted into most difficult Kama Sutra positions.

Women often depend heavily on what they have stored in their purse. However, there is sometimes a fine line between having everything you need in your purse and having so many things that the purse becomes heavy and uncomfortable to carry.

"Customer is king", "Our customers are not strangers to us, they are part of what we do". These are common cliches we speak and write on the walls of our businesses and in reception area. The question which is rarely asked is "Do we mean all that we say?". When you customer coughs, your company performances feels the threat of that cold. The tremors and challenges your customer faces have a direct bearing on your profits and your targets. Once you obtain a customer, they should be kept lest they move on to the next supplier.

There are a number of aspects of growing older that can be great about growing older. The adage that wisdom comes with age is most assuredly true, however there can be some things that become more difficult as a person ages. One of the most common diseases associated with growing older is dementia, which is sometimes referred to as senility. Unfortunately, using the term senility or senile does not really paint an accurate picture of dementia, because dementia is not a normal
Every day, people draw on money they don’t actually have – via credit cards, payday loans, home equity lines of credit, and even their 401(k)s.

Have you made your New Year’s Resolutions for this year? How’s it going? How has it gone in past years? If you are like most people, you start out with the best intentions and then gradually you revert back to old habits. Studies show that only 8% of people actually reach their goals! So why is that? Why do we always seem to return to our “default” behaviors, even when we know changes would benefit us? Take heart! It’s not because we’re all lazy or incompetent except for the shining few. The answer lies in our subconscious. Our Conscious and Subconscious Minds
Take it from an old grizzly who’s been there and done that. We like to think that with age comes vast experience. Guess where that vast experience came from? That’s right. Until someone invents a Teflon-coated suit, the most penetrating insights come from hindsight. n Is there a bright ...
Members of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) generally assert that their use of alcohol is out of control and that even one drink is too many. AA espouses total abstinence from alcohol for life. But is it possible for a person who has abused alcohol to gradually cut back on their use of alcohol and reach a point where they can handle a drink or two without losing control? There are many who say that tapering off alcohol is indeed possible and has been accomplished by many people. Is
Tinnitus is quite common in war torn countries like Iraq and Afghanistan where bombs and exchange of rapid gunfire is as routine as the daily newspaper. It’s the most prevalent injury suffered by those who are still alive and who managed to go unscathed with the everyday dose of exchange of artillery. On top of that, the amount of stress that these people go through belittles our own causes of stress which can be as simple as coping with work and all the daily grinds.
It was the sixties and I’m sure I was 12 years old. My friends and I were all caught up in the British invasion. My girlfriend Patty wrote me a twenty eight page Beatle letter that did nothing but ogle Paul. We were in Heaven.
In the previous three parts of this series, we discussed the source and direction of power available to Christians. We learnt that Jesus promised the Apostles that they would receive power from on high when the Holy Spirit falls on them, and saw that this actually happened just as Jesus promised. Yet, when we look at the lives of average Christians, it is not uncommon to find a group of powerless individuals.
I enjoy not meeting other people. I love missing out on conversations with strangers. I have a great time without other peopleâs company. Man is a social creature (or so Iâm told), and yet a social phobia has begun sprouting within me in the past few months. The mere idea of talking to someone seems to drain me of my energy even before Iâm anywhere near a phone to call them or even within their earshot. Iâve also noticed that lately, Iâm much more irritated by

There is so much instability in the current economy. The writing is on the wall for major changes in the U.S. over the next 10 years, and the global economy will also see major changes. The old ways of thinking which include investing in mutual funds, stocks, bonds and savings accounts are going to cause 99% of the baby boomers to lose half if not more of their wealth over the next decade. I know, you are thinking, ya right, that will never happen, this guy is crazy, how could he make a statement like that, I am diversified so it doesn’t apply to me, who is this loon.
Personal development is a linear progression where we are always striving to better our self. We begin life vulnerable and dependent on our caregivers. We progress to become independent and strike out at the world on our own. As we mature further, we realize that we cannot take on the world alone and learn to become interdependent working in harmony with those around us. The goal of development is to reach a state of interdependence, where we are self aware enough to understand that there is strength in developing strong relations with those around us.
A house will only be as strong as its foundations. You need to remember this, next time you’re trying to rely on your willpower to manifest a positive change in your life. What is the foundation of that willpower of yours? Well, let me explain. Willpower acts on logic, and it works with your conscious mind. For example, if you’re planning on losing 20 pounds within the next 3 months you are going to have to make the conscious effort of staying on your diet and exercise routine.
Could Water Actually Be A Miracle Cure for Seniors? I have spent the last two years interviewing hundreds of seniors and researching how they treat and manage their pain, illnesses and other health and mobility related problems.

Sometimes we amaze ourselves by the amount of inner strength that we draw from. Our inner strength guides us with patience and understanding among other things. While we tend to downplay or simply avoid where our strength comes from, we know it’s there.
From my own personal experience of being involved in certain relationships, I have come to realize there are three different levels of Soul Mates. We discussed Soul Mates in a previous article of mine, âSoul Mates - Do they really existsâ now we should keep our eyes open and pay closer attention to our relationships, in order that we might recognize those soul mates.nn Soul mates have different tasks to fulfill in your life, and likewise theirs. It is not always the case
