ARTArticleKids SwearingWhen children swear, it certainly catches our attention! How should we respond when this happens? There are a number of ways to handle it depending on the situation. Trying Out Swearing Young children often try swearing at some point. One day our daughter was coming home from preschool when she dropped something while getting out of the car and exclaimed "F#@$!" My husband calmly asked her if she knew what that word meant.ARTArticleLife's One Achievable GoalMost of us have many goals in life. These goals might have to do with work, finances, relationships and family. Some of the goals that many people strive for are to feel worthy, loved, and valued. Many people spend much time in their lives seeking the approval of others, believing that getting this approval will finally give them the love, safety, security, and sense of worth that they desire. The problem with this goal is that it is an impossible goal to achieve, because it is not others' love, attention and approval that bring about a deep sense of self-worth.ARTArticleLimiting Screen Time for Your KidsDo you feel your kids are spending too much time watching TV, playing video games and being on the computer? Do ever find it challenging to get them to turn off the TV or computer and go outside to play? If so, join the crowd! How much time are kids really spending with media? The Kaiser Family Foundation released a report in January 2010 showing the average amount of time kids 8 - 18 are spending with media. These are the numbers for a typical day: - TV (4 hours, 29 minutes) - Music/audio (2 hours, 31 minutes)ARTArticleLying as a Form of ControlAll of us, as we were growing up, learned a myriad of ways to try to have control over getting love, avoiding pain, and feeling safe. One of the ways we might have learned is to lie. We all had many opportunities to learn this way of protecting ourselves, which is a form of manipulation/control: - A parent or caregiver interrogated you about something you knew you were not supposed to do. Did you tell the truth or did you deny that you did it?ARTArticleMake Yourself UnforgettableIf you know me, then you will know one of my irrefutable truth: once you’ve been introduced to me then you will remember me forever. I start noticing that strength of mine when I was still in college and was partying a lot. For some reason, at any party, or event that I was attending, if there was one person that I’ve been introduced to, then that person would come with a big smile and would give me a charming friendly hug with “MAX-MARC” highly pronounced and a distinguished smiley face.ARTArticleMen Ogle While Women Have Eyes in the Back of Their Heads.Does it bug you that your man will turn his head faster than a rabbit being chased by a dog; almost causing himself whiplash when it comes to something that grabs his fancy? However, you would never get caught while looking at some yummy piece of eye candy (and yes we all do it, not matter who we are, after all, only human). How is that possible? Is it because we are more sensitive to our partner’s feelings or is it because we are more refined in our behaviour as ladies? Well it turns out that women have eyes in the back of their heads...well almost.ARTArticleMinimizing Buyers' RemorseNo matter how excited I was to buy a house, I felt buyer’s remorse after the deal was done. I could have looked at a hundred homes and still felt that I might have missed a better opportunity. The same phenomenon happened to me when I shopped for groceries in a new store. I looked at each and every possible choice with eagle eye attention to detail. I read the labels on ten different brands of beans, decided which one was healthiest, and then inspected individual cans to find one without dents. I could stand there studying cans for thirty minutes before making my choice.ARTArticleMr. Wrong or Mr. Right? How to tell if it’s time to stay or goHow do I know if and when it's time to break up? There's a lot of good in the guy I’m dating, but the bad is unacceptable. What do I do? I keep waiting for the guy I’m seeing to make the changes I need. How long do I wait? And what if he never changes? Chances are, at some point in your dating past or present one or more of the above questions has weighed heavily on your mind. The truth is, there’s no one size fits all answer to these questions. However, your gut knows what you want and need to do. It's up to you to tune in, listen, and honor what you know is right -- for you!ARTArticleMy Wife Left Me: Christian AdviceThe phrase "My wife left me", has become a common phrase echoed in many Christian homes. While the phrase itself is grammatically small, the implications behind it are rather large. Why on earth would a Christian wife simply pack her belongings and walk out? Well, there are a number of reasons why she might do this, but one thing is for certain, and that is, her decision to leave was not an ove ight decision. It's a decision that likely came after months or years of being unhappy. Perhaps, it's a result of physical or verbal abuse.ARTArticleNetwork Like a KingNetworking is great, fun, and yet not easy. Before I study Relationships and the pillars of professional networking, I used to think that networking with people was just about going to events and exchanging business cards with all people we meet there. However somehow, I found out that from the tens of people I gave my business card to, only two or three got back to me and did want to follow up do business with me. So I decided to dig into what made those two or three people to get back to me that I didn’t do with the rest of the people.ARTArticleNo benefits- all friends?It’s that time of year. Spring has sprung and the fever pitch is HIGH! No more bundling up your chakras, you say, it’s time for some “sex on the beach”! A few spring fling tips: 1) Pay attention (pay now or pay later); 2) Think it through. Make sure the good outweighs any potential side effects 4 to 1…okay, 3 to 1; and 3) WEAR A CONDOM … and in the meantime, get your questions answered: James asked: “I met this girl at school and ended up falling for her. However, at the time she had a boyfriend who was moving to France.ARTArticleOpposites Attract, But They May Not Last, Unless…Most couples can name several ways in which they’re opposites: neatness versus sloppiness; extroversion versus introversion; being high-strung versus laid-back preferring city versus country living, etc. And I'm sure you have something in mind that's specific to you. It’s true that quite often and in many respects, opposites attract. But those areas can either help you thrive as a couple or destroy you!ARTArticlePrepare For SuccessSuccess doesn’t just happen. It’s envisioned, it’s prepared, it’s measured, and it’s managed. On this post I share two important points you need to be aware of in order to succeed. I was just watching the game 7 of the NBA final 2010 and Kobe Bryant the MVP was saying at the interview on ESPN that the reason behind his average performance during the first period is due to the over pressure he puts on himself. He wanted to win so bad that he was about to miss it. What kind of emotions we need to watch and how to deal with each one?ARTArticleQuestions to Ask Yourself After ForgivingForgiving doesn't mean that you have to be best friends with - or married to - the person who hurt you. It simply means that you have reached a feeling of peace about the person or situation and have discharged your anger or resentment. The decision to take action after someone has hurt you is always a better one if you can wait until you have forgiven, at least in part. This is because your heart and mind are clear of dark emotions that dim your decision-making ability. So, you've gone through the process to forgive and have released much of your lingering anger and resentment.ARTArticleRevulsion - Accepting Other’s FaultsHave you ever been in a public place and had someone clear his sinuses right behind you? To me, that sucking sinus snort is extremely off-putting. I have a physical response to the sound, as if an unappealing stranger has just blown his nose on my shoulder. How does this feeling of revulsion fit into a world of love and respect? I had no good answer until my daughter helped me one day. I had been grocery shopping and a man, who was constantly snorting, followed me around the store. My daughter noticed my discomfort and asked about it when we left.ARTArticleShould I Reveal My Sexual Past to My Spouse?Question: Should I reveal to my husband events from my past, even though I believe he could never find out about them? There is a threefold test I share with people who ask if they should tell their spouses either about their distant past, or about things that they’ve done since their marriages began. Most often the question comes from people who’ve had an affair, but the same test works well for deciding whether to share any secret you’re keeping from your mate.ARTArticleShould I Stay or Should I Go? Take this Self-AssessmentIf your relationship were afire, is it still burning strongly? Flickering? Smoldering? Does it need kindling? A log? Or has the last spark of it burned out to the point where it's even too late for more oxygen? After all, your relationship at one time had to be on fire in order for it to burn out. Relationships that are characterized mainly or solely by passion are often, as songwriter Cole Porter put it, "too hot, not to cool down."ARTArticleSingle and Scared: Debunking the Scarcity Myth“There are no good men left.” Sound familiar? If you’re feeling freaked about being single, you don’t need to give up on your search for Mr. Right. You may just need to debunk your attachment to the scarcity myth. How? By participating in a fun 3 week experiment. All you need is an open mind, a few spare minutes each day, and a desire to change your dating future. Are you ready? Week #1: Initiate Contactr Start by making eye contact with one member of the opposite sex (who you don’t know) every day for a week.ARTArticleSpiritual Goal SettingAre you ready to sit down and lay out your goals... be they for the New Year, for a project or just to get a fresh start on your life? I'd like to share my thoughts and experiences about goal setting that might provide you with some new perspectives on this important ritual.ARTArticleStop Being a Networking DorkWhen I decided to enter the niche of Relationships Coaching, my main goal was to just in lighting up individuals and corporates on the way they handle their business relationships.ARTArticleTalking to Your Kids About SexTalking to Your Kids About Sex Take a look back at your teenage years, what it was like growing up? How were you around the topic of sex? Ask yourself some important questions like; did you have parents who were open and respectful, had healthy boundaries around the topic? Were you on the receiving end of normal love and affection? Or were you even on the receiving end of verbal love and affection? Was there any love or affection to speak of? Did you have respect for your partners, did you have sex because you wanted to or because you felt pressure to? These are important questions.ARTArticleTantra Massage Tips And Techniques That Will Drive Her To Really Want You!Using Tantra massage is a great way to grow closer as a couple. This kind of touch isn’t about intercourse, but it is about very intense orgasms that take your time in the bedroom to a whole new level. In Tantric massage, a man’s penis is called Lingam (wand of light), while the vagina is called Yoni (sacred space), and both sexes should learn massage techniques to help their partners achieve orgasm.ARTArticleThe 7 Top Notch Professions to Connect With to Grow Your NetworkFolks, people is everything. The people you are connected to, the organizations and meetings you attend, all that matters when you have a burning desire to grow your network. In this world of challenge, competition, employment crisis, and unsecured job, it’s more than ever important for everyone, individuals and companies, to work on developing trustful and solid connections.ARTArticleThe Body's Inner WisdomIn Colour Light Therapy, the Holographic Healing treatment series is prescribed for people who suffer from Cancer, or for people who have a history of Cancer in their family and are worried they might get it later in life. One of the rules for anyone wanting to give sessions to others is that before you give a treatment to someone else, it is wise to experience it in depth yourself.ARTArticleThe Cause of Marriage Stress in Christian MarriageWhat causes marriage stress? Well, believe it or not, your words have the power to cause a lot of stress and damage in your marriage. That is, when you choose not to control them. The right words can extinguish a volatile situation, but the wrong words can add fuel to an already blazing fire. Imagine for a moment that a fire started in your home. What would you do? Would you throw wood on the flames to keep them burning, or would you make an attempt to put the fire out? My guess is that your first reaction would probably be to put out the flames.ARTArticleThe Challenges of Motivating ChildrenHow can we motivate our children to work harder in school, in a sport or in practicing an instrument? Will the promise of a reward for practicing the piano help our child practice more? Or will the threat of punishment be more effective? When we try to motivate our children to work harder, we can often end up feeling frustrated by the results. Understanding Internal Motivation Ideas about motivation are changing as new research teases out some of the key elements.ARTArticleThe Do’s and Don'ts of Mastering The First DateIn 2010, finding someone to date isn't nearly as tricky as mastering the art of dating. Between online dating, singles events, and the old-fashioned in-person meet and greet, it's possible to date someone new on a regular basis. But how do you make the most of these chances to meet your perfect partner? How can you ensure that a first date, good or bad, is a learning experience rather than a missed opportunity?ARTArticleThe Gift of "NO"In the past, I’d often thought that falling in love was reminiscent of that extremely vulnerable, naked moment a suicide encountered right before taking that precarious leap into open space; that space disguising the unrelenting hardness of rocks and cement on the street below. I thought of that split second of being airbo e, hurtling through the atmosphere a thousand miles an hour; your face, clothes and hair whipped, twisted and contorted into monstrous shapes, and terror, undeniable terror settling over your mind.ARTArticleThe Health Benefits of TantraWhen people hear the word Tantra, they usually think of the esoteric postures depicted in the Kama Sutra. That's if they've heard of it at all. Personally, I have found many unexpected health benefits from practicing this ancient form of meditation and related breath practices. When I bega Tantra in 1996, I had no idea back then how powerful Tantra was to become in every aspect of my life. Very soon, after embarking on the Tantric path, I became aware of a quieting down in the mind, something I had been trying to accomplish for years to no avail.ARTArticleThe ONE Major Cause of Relationship Problems!What if there really is ONE major cause of relationship problems, one issue that if you address, would change everything? The good news and the bad news is - there is! The good news is that it makes it easier to understand why you might be having problems in your relationship. The bad news is that to resolve the issue takes a deep personal commitment to heal. The one cause is - self-abandonment. Let's take a look at what self-abandonment is and why it causes almost all the problems in relationships.
