“When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him: ‘Whose?’”- Don Marquis Isn’t the property market absolutely amazing right now? No, I’m not being sarcastic nor was this written years ago. With so many bargains around (and interest rates finally coming down), now is the perfect time to take advantage.

My son aged 2, toddled into the changing room of the gym after spending an hour in the crèche. “Here you are Charles, this the key, go and find mummy’s locker.” I said it with enthusiasm, it was an activity meant to keep him amused for the next twenty minutes whilst I showered. An endless sea of lockers surrounded the room. Silently, he took the key, and went straight to the locker with my possessions. How did he do that? Was it a lucky coincidence? Did he see through the wall where I put my clothes? Did I give him an unconscious visual clue? Luck it may have been.

Body language is a term for communication using body movements or gestures instead of, or in addition to, sounds, verbal language or other communication. It forms part of the category of paralanguage, which describes all forms of human communication that are not verbal language.

In addition body language can also incorporate the use of facial ex
I recently saw the Disney-Pixar movie Up, and discovered it was entertaining and instructional. The movie imparted some of the same messages I teach my clients. I actually retrieved a pen and small notebook from my purse during the movie and took notes. (Yes, I am an organizer at heart!) In case you haven't see Up, here's a plot summary: Carl, the grumpy main character, uses thousands of helium-filled balloons to carry his entire home through the sky to move to Paradise Falls, South America, to fulfill his late wife's childhood dream.
What we think and feel has a direct impact on our current and future health and life.

Mental and physical tension can cause unease and you may find that when you attempt to sleep, your mind races and your body feels restless. Many people find it difficult to let go of worrying or troubling
It’s one thing to seek out people who are ahead of you in achieving something you want. For example, if you want to reach a six figure income, working from home, it makes sense to find someone who has done that and to learn from them the systems they used. That’s smart. But what I see so many of my clients do is compare themselves to others and declare that they come up short. I love Ralph Waldo Emerson’s writings. He lived in the 1800’s and was a philosopher and essayist fr
The first week on a major projects is like love -- exciting and new. Your motivation is sky high. Maybe the second week too.

One of my favorite things to do in the shower is... to use a few essential oils! Among the steam and general relaxation of a hot shower, the oils aid the process of cleansing. Firstly I'd like to point out that the use of TOO MUCH oil down plumbing pipes, will eventually get you a call out for a plumber. However, if you use the oils sparingly, you shouldn't have any trouble and they will just wash away with the water. Eco systems I'm not sure about. You might want to consult your operating handbook for more info on using oils in these type systems.

The best part is that you don't have to be miserable, unhappy, or stuck anymore if you listen to what I did and follow these same steps.

There aren't many people who haven’t dieted sometime in their lifetime. Dieting may include calorie counting, low-card dieting, portion control, supplements, and/or calorie restrictions.

Go wild and green Wild as in salmon, green as in grass. Let me explain. Wild salmon is a very different food from farm-raised. Wild salmon has higher levels of a potent antioxidant known as astaxanthin, which the salmon get from eating their natural diet of krill.

Falling in love with love has been the subject of parody from the time of ancient Greece, to Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, to the present. The 1938 Rodgers and Hart show tune describes falling in love with love as "falling for make-believe" and "playing the fool." Do real life people actually ...
Many years ago, I fell in love with the movie “Pay It Forward” and the theme song “Calling all Angels” by K.D. Lang which was also the theme song of the TV show “Beauty and the Beast”. I really couldn’t understand the meaning of the words at first and was sure I heard the words wrong. As I listened to the song over and over, I discovered that the song explains that the reason we agree to all this suffering is “the sweetness of the leaving”. Knowing in my heart that the most beautiful part of our life will be “crossing over”, I started to understand it.

I was preparing a fruit platter for the reiki class I was about to teach when I realized that every piece of fruit I had purchased was green: green apples, green grapes, green kiwi. In my former life, I was a professional party planner, so making this sort of faux pas was funny to me. I knew there was a hidden meaning behind the so called “mistake.” Green is the color of the heart chakra. I thought perhaps the theme of the class might just be about love. As the day progressed, I learned my hypothesis was correct.

They may not refer to it as “super-sizing” anymore but the sizes of meals in the fast food chains are still pretty hefty. And in this day and age of economic slow-down, it’s easy to want more for your money. For a few extra cents, you can double the serving size of your French fries and soda and even get a sugary dessert treat. This may look like a great deal but the truth is, when it comes to our health it’s a really bad deal.

The Astral Bodyr The astral body is said to be a transitional bridge between the soul and the physical body. Plato originally introduced the idea but it has been picked up and developed by many philosophers, theologians and parapsychologists over the intervening centuries. It is the astral body that leaves the physical body when a person dies taking the soul with it and, perhaps, explaining out of body experiences, dreams, imagination, visions and hallucinations. Usually it w
Sleep deprivation is considered by most people as a simple problem that will not cause any damage to the body and that can be treated by sleeping in when they have the time. However, it is actually more than that, for it has effects that can be detrimental to your health.

Many people think that spirituality has to do with putting other people's needs before their own and, as a result, are afraid to say "no." Many of us were taught that putting our needs before the needs of others is an act of selfishness, and selfishness is believed to be a negative trait. While it may be the ultimate in spirituality to reach out and share with others, it is not spiritual to allow ourself to be used up so that we have nothing left to give.

Anti-aging skin care is a process, a lifestyle decision. So, how important is sleep for your daily anti-aging regimen? Sleep is beneficial to the body and for the skin in many respects. Your body produces melatonin while you sleep which is claimed to be an anti-aging hormone. It’s great for the skin and the immune system. In the day, and when it’s light, you lose melatonin; conversely in the night and in the dark, you gain melatonin. Whilst in the deep sleep phase, your body
Ironically, one of the main things that keeps us from awakening to our true nature is knowledge. We think we know things, and knowing these things keeps us from being awake. Our belief that we have true knowledge keeps us caught up in our perceptions, labels, and opinions, making them appear as realities rather than the biased points of view they actually are. If truth is a matter of perspective, can we call it truth? If situations change depending on how we look at them and on who is doing the looking, can we really trust our judgments to be true knowledge?

What’s the difference between positive thinking and positive mental attitude? Because, as far as I can figure out, positive mental attitude is just a fancier name for a way of thinking that is becoming increasingly discredited.
