ARTArticleHow to Make Real Change in Your LifeWant to make a change in your life? Whether it’s losing weight, a career change, or remaking a relationship if you want to make any real and lasting changes then you can’t do it alone. I work with hundreds of patients and workshop attendees who desire to transform their lives and one of the first points I tell them is that for real success they initially need to build a Wisdom Council of Support. Like an owner assembling a start-up baseball team you begin with those players who are already available to you, being mindful of the strengths and weaknesses of each.ARTArticleHow to Predict a Cheating SpouseThe same, unanswered questions keep getting asked each time a celebrity or politician gets caught cheating: Why? Are they bored? Is the fear of getting caught exciting? Is monogamy just not their thing? Are they searching for an outlet for fetishes they’re afraid to ask their partners about? Do they feel neglected by their mate? Is sex addiction a real thing, or just a scapegoat for wrongdoings? Are cheaters just plain selfish, unremorseful, and uncaring about the feelings of their partner?ARTArticleHow to stop worrying and start living“When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened” Winston Churchill Stop worrying and start living. We give this advice to everybody we see tensed even though sometimes we don’t even know why he is worried. We know that worry does not help us in anyway but still we cannot help it. In this article I will answer to questions like why we cannot stop worrying, how worrying harm us and how can we control it?ARTArticleIs Workplace Stress Frustrating Your Effectiveness?The hidden key to career success is how you react to workplace stress. Much more than your technical skills, your people skills, or even your suck-up-to-the-boss skills, it is how you manage and deflect stress that determines your success in the company. This is because the company can train anyone to perform technically. They can hire gregarious people and educate them technically. And the boss will always find someone who will suck up. But it is a rare to find someone who can keep his or her head in the middle of chaos, or who doesn’t call in sick every time a crisis deadline looms.r ARTArticleIs Workplace Stress Killing Your Family?You are on your way up. You are advancing in your career faster than you thought possible. You are being given more responsibility. And rewards. And the workplace stress that goes along with it. You figure it's worth it. But does your family? The bad health effects of the stress you experience go home with you. You feel tired because you are tired. Too tired physically and emotionally to connect with your spouse or your kids. You can't sleep, so mornings with you are like poking the bear for your family. Can you use these 5 ways to keep workplace stress from affecting your family?r ARTArticleIt's all about loving yourselfWe spend our whole life in search of love from others. We wish that true love will find us and that special love will change our life. If you don’t find the love then you fall into the valley of emptiness and feel lost. We always tell our mind that if I get true love then, I will be the happiest person on the earth. Actually it works the other way round. You need to love yourself to get love from others and you need to love yourself to give love to others. How can we give something to others which we do not have.ARTArticleLearn How To Be Happy Without AlcoholI look back on my own life through breakups, low-self esteem and depression and can clearly say that I used alcohol as a crutch. I understand now that I learned this concept of sadness equaling alcohol from movie, tv and our culture in general. I now have accepted that stress, trauma, and depression will always be there and it's okay to have bad days as these are natural parts of life. I had trained my brain to think drinking alcohol would make me feel happy again.ARTArticleMaking a Difference in an Indifferent WorldWe live in troubled times where our peace and safety are often in danger. Most feel helpless and unable to affect the unfolding events in our present world. And yet many are uniting their minds, energy and actions in order to create a peaceful and safe world with dignity for all. Some groups ...ARTArticleMindfulness Amidst a Self-Esteem CrisisMindfulness seems to be a rather gentle tool at first appearance. It is know as a tool to reduce stress, popularized in the West by John Kabat-Zinn. Or mindfulness is used to expand your consciousness, have a more deeper experience of the present moment and be in the “now”. But mindfulness can also serve as the only tool that is left when you are amidst a severe low self-esteem crisis.ARTArticleMindfulness Changes the Brain!Mindfulness changes the brain!ARTArticleMore Effective Communication with Children - Part 1Today we are experiencing an ever-growing communication gap between parents, teachers and the children whom they are responsible for. Only through honest and sincere communication can we help our children to become honest, healthy and happy individuals. Some of the basic concepts of ...ARTArticleMy Partner Cheated, Why Was I the Last to Know?Usually we’re surprised by an affair because we’ve ignored the early warning signs, such as arguments that never got resolved, or built up feelings of resentment due to diminishing communication and emotional and sexual interest. We don’t realize that these are the seeds of affairs. We don’t take these signs seriously because we think the issues will go away or resolve themselves. But they don’t. They unconsciously build momentum, and before we know it, we have found out that our partner has cheated…without us even knowing.ARTArticleNatural Remedies for AnxietyThere are many natural remedies for anxiety, a problem that plagues far too many people worldwide. First of all, anxiety is the body's automatic response to stress. Anxiety provides the body with a boost of adrenalin when a lion crosses our path in the jungle--it's a life-saving response. Unfortunately, anxiety has become a way of life for a myriad of people around the globe. Now it's bills and cubicles and traffic and computer meltdowns crossing our paths in the suburban jungle. While the body's response hasn't changed, it still cannot survive in a constant state of "5 Alarm Fire" like this.ARTArticlePeople Don’t Lose Weight On Diets Of Emotional DeprivationWe have finite energy stores to manage our lives. If we spend an inordinate amount of time planning our meals, cooking, eating and sadly, recovering from episodes of over indulgence, we may not have enough energy left for other matters of importance. Over dependence on one form of nurturance does not adequately compensate for others. Self-deprivations increase our appetites for more readily available substitutes. Too much of one good thing never satisfies unfulfilled appetites for others. This is the anatomy of disordered eating ARTArticlePerception of the Mentally IllI was diagnosed with a mental illness last year. A mild mood disorder called dysthymia. I wondered how will people see me now that I’ve gone public with dysthymia? Will they think I’m crazy? That I need to be institutionalized? Or maybe that I’m a criminal? None of the above is true, so how is it that I can I have a mental disorder? Read the following statements below and note how many you believe are true about mental disorders and the people who suffer from them. 1. People with mental disorders should be locked up in institutions 2. Severe mental disorders are incurabler ARTArticlePracticing self-compassionCompassion towards ourselves and towards other is a powerful tool to overcome low self-esteem. You can apply compassion as a short term tool in your day-to-day life, and as a long term practice on a regular, preferably daily basis. While the former is an informal way to use it 'to go', the latter is a formal practice. Compassion as a short term tool ARTArticlePTSD – The Battle After The War.We have lost another hero in a very sad and enraged PTSD episode. Staff Sergeant Jason Pemberton, who was a U.S. Army sniper and served with the 82nd Airbo e Division for two deployments in Iraq, killed his 25-year old wife and himself February 4th, 2012. His wife, 25 year old Tiffany Pemberton, was found dead from a gunshot wound in the living room, while Jason Pemberton was dead in the bedroom about 10 feet away, from what reports say was a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head from a rifle.ARTArticleRelationship Red Flags: 5 Tips for Identifying Your Negotiables and Non-NegotiablesYou’re in a new relationship, and you’re starting to see some red flags, warning you that the relationship may not be a good bet, but does that mean you should leave?

How do you know if the red flags mean future disaster, or are just a warning?ARTArticleResurrecting the Great Mother“I found god in myself and I loved her /I loved her fiercely.”rn - Ntozake Shange ARTArticleSeven Powerful Ways to Make Your Marriage LastMarriage is supposed to last “forever,” isn’t it? When we decide to get married, we truly believe that forever will happen. Sometimes that’s easier said than done, because most of us don’t have realistic guidelines or tools to know how to make a marriage last. When we fall in love, we usually think that’s all we’ll need to be happy. However, when “reality” sets in and a couple has their first real argument, they both realize that their partner isn’t perfect.ARTArticleSeven Warning Signs of a Troubled RelationshipWhen is it time to say, “My relationship is in trouble, and we need help”? How do you know when that time is? When couples wait too long to ask for help, the relationship may be beyond repair. The sooner help is sought, the better chance there is of recovering, saving, and actually strengthening the relationship. This includes issues dealing with affairs or other types of betrayal. The longer we wait, the more entrenched we get in destructive patterns and resentment, and all hope for change is lost. At a certain point, we don’t even want change…we just want to be done.ARTArticleSigns Of Stress: MentalDo you know the signs of stress? Not just feeling stress. Because waiting until you feel stress is like deciding to fight the enemy after they've come through the gate and over the walls. Your body and your mind let you know that stress is coming. Stress makes your body go into "fight or flight" reaction. There are countless systems and methods to minimize the effects of this once it kicks in. But what if you got ahead of the stress? What if you could cut off the reaction before it started? Here are 5 signs of stress that affect you mentally (as opposed to emotionally or physically):r ARTArticlesmall business insurance - basic principlesArranging insurance for a small business can be a highly complex undertaking, and may require a considerable amount of thought and planning.

It can give you peace of mind, which you are searching from long time. It helps in connecting with your inner self. It also has lots of health benefits like lower blood pressure, controlled blood sugar, better sleep, etc. Meditation has many benefits and it can be done without cost, but still lots of people have misunderstood it.r ARTArticleStress As Self DiscoveryLife is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that wish to elect a state and remain there. This is a kind of death. – Anais Nin. Stress is often thought of something that must be endured, as something that annoys you and vexes you until it stops. People search for ways to minimize stress, to relieve stress, to avoid it. But what if stress was really the path of your self discovery? What if stressful situations were markers along the road of your journey of self growth?r ARTArticleTake a Drug Class before Considering Driving Under the Influence of Drugs or AlcoholWhy do so few people receive driving under the influence violations (DUIs) for marijuana? Statistics show how many people are smoking and using marijuana these days. In 14 states, including the District of Columbia, weed is legal for "medical" purposes. The entire idea of marijuana's medicinal value is subject for another article. Today we want to discuss the epidemic of using marijuana and operating a motor vehicle. As a counselor for both in-class and online drug classes I can tell you there are a lot of people out there who smoke pot and drive.ARTArticleThe Best Chest Builder Muscle Mass ExerciseThe Bench Press is a tried and true exercise that has delivered results to men for generations.

I suppose first and foremost it is a personal interpretation, yet many if not all of the law of attraction programs presently being promoted have its key focus on material success as the gold standard (pun intended) of what success really means.r ARTArticleThe Most Common QuestionThe most common questio I am asked at speaking engagements and on social media sites is have I considered the long term effects of taking antidepressants.
