ARTArticleOrganizing and Stress ReductionI learned about Emotional Intelligence at a conference I recently attended. As part of the session, my emotional intelligence was evaluated. One of the most surprising things I discovered about myself as a result of this process is that I have low stress tolerance. This was surprising to me because I seldom feel as though I have a lot of stress in of my life, which made me think I actually do a good job of tolerating it. After all, since it’s nearly impossible not to have stress in one’s life, yet I don’t feel burdened by it, I must be able to tolerate it well, right?ARTArticleOrganizing Tips for Eldercare ProvidersWhile many seniors enjoy good health and are able to live on their own, some require the assistance of family members or outside caregivers, or have to move to an assisted living facility. No matter what your role is in helping a senior, even if it's to be a friend to someone caring for a senior, here are some organizing tips to help make the job a bit easier.ARTArticlePaying the Price of the 3 R'sonto, aren’t they? Can you identify areas in your life where these have reared their ugly head? What exactly is this pattern and how does it affect your life? Resentment ARTArticlePicking A Realtor . . . Who’s a Pro and Who’s a NoIntroduction: You may be considering listing with a Realtor or selling by owner, either way you should know what to look for when working with a Realtor. What can you do to pick a Pro? Most Realtors follow and adhere to the Realtors’ National Code of Ethics and their professional organizations, local, state and nationally. All of them subscribe to this Code of professional behavior. As in any profession there are the few bad apples. It is these few that give Brokers a public trust rating just above that of used car salesmen.ARTArticlePinkBerry in My GutMy father used to have this exercise where my brother and I would try to come up with new business ideas, and we would all try to see what it would take to make it work. My brother and I would pitch idea after idea, and my father would have some kind of objection to each one. Soon, even my brother would start to have objections to the ideas. The entire exercise became very discouraging.ARTArticlePlanning For Your Failure Guarantees Your FailureMany of us, without realizing it, are manifesting our own failures. We have this intention of pursuing our dreams, but then we also instantly think of a back up plan in case it doesn’t work out. The instant you come up with a back up plan, the instant you fall back to your back up plan, you are manifesting your own failure. You are already thinking, believing, and behaving as if your dreams won’t work out, or aren’t worth the trouble of pursuing.ARTArticlePractical Spirituality: EGO Is Not The EnemyEgo often gets a bum rap. I was happy to see the video of Dr. Jill Bolte-Taylor, author of "My Stroke of Insight", a while back as she exemplifies why we need an ego and why is not a good idea to try to "get rid" of it. First of all, unless you want to damage the left hemisphere of your brain (which was her challenge when she had the stroke), you are going to have a sense of "identity" which is what the ego is. It is the mental construct of the "false self".ARTArticlePrescription for Healthy RelationshipsHuman beings have an inherent need to develop meaningful relationships. We all want to share our goals, ideas, joys, sorrows, desires, affection and experiences with someone else. However, we all fall short at times in handling the mechanics of them. There are times when we need to “doctor” up or even perform “surgery” on some of our relationships. Do you experience any of the following symptoms in any of your relationships? • Frequent arguments • Low energy conversations • Apathy regarding the relationship • Lack of interaction/no desire for proximityr ARTArticleReal Estate FlyersIntroduction Is it important to have a flyer in your house when you’re selling? Short answer Yes. A tried and true fact; having attractive flyers with the right information works. There are different types of flyers with different information. You need at least two flyers. Flyers get pertinent information to your potential buyers and to brokers. A guest book is an often overlooked companion to flyers.ARTArticleReduce Your Stress During the HolidaysShopping, baking, more shopping, wrapping gifts, hosting guests - this busy time of year is often more stressful than joyful. Expectations are high, crowds are plentiful, time is limited, and funds may be as well. As you may have promised yourself so many times, how about actually making this holiday season the most wonderful time of the year? These tips offer some ideas to help you consider converting your to-do list to a "to-don't" list.ARTArticleReinca ation and Earthbound Spirits: How does that work? A True Case Study...Reinca ation and Earthbound Spirits: How does that work? A True Case Study... (Names and other details changed) Sarah a young twenty something walks nervously through my London treatment room door, she sits down awkwardly and tells me why she has come. 'Someone recommended I came to see you, I can be going about my day, doing the most normal of things and suddenly I feel incredibly isolated, like I should be somewhere else, it's so strong it almost paralyses me, like I have been taken over, it even happens to me when I am laughing with my mates.'ARTArticleRespect Your Elders - If You Have ThemI was having a conversation with my mother the other day about some material I was writing in the food section of the survival guide. The topic was grocery shopping, and I was explaining about the articles I had written related to saving money on groceries and how to feed your family on a budget. As I was busy telling my mother about the things I had just recently learned about online coupons, the Sunday paper, and how to buy the cheapest items she was right there expanding on those things that she already knew as well as introducing me to a dozen things I still did not know.ARTArticleResurrect Your DreamsResurrect Your Dreams Byr Bill Cottringer “Deep down, nobody is ever quite satisfied with the amount of their childhood dreams they have actually realized and we are all disappointed with the amount that slipped away.” ~The author.ARTArticleSacrificesWe’ve all been told that old familiar story from our parents about how they had to walk for miles to get to school. We have heard numerous stories of all the different sacrifices that they have had to make in order to put food on the table. Chances are that these stories ring very true; that either you or your parents were the product of the “Great Depression.” I am writing this because I want you to think about your story; the story that you will pass down to your children; our story of all the sacrifices that you’ve had to make.ARTArticleSAVOR LIFE NOW: SAVE THE BEST FOR FIRST NOT LAST, says Susan McKenzieAGE-OLD ASIAN STORY There is a frequently told story with a moral that serves to shock us to rethink our priorities.ARTArticleSEEING THE REAL ENEMYSEEING THE REAL ENEMY Byr Bill Cottringer It pays to know the enemy - not least because at some time you may have the opportunity to turn him into a friend. ~Margaret Thatcher. The real enemy is not a person, group, country, or thing that we can easily see and fight against, but rather a compelling, persistent, and invisible illusion behind the curtain, well out of sight. A pervasive conflict, which hides the real enemy from our awareness, is the conflict we all feel between “us” and the rest of life. This all begins at our birth into this world with our own unique identity.ARTArticleSo, You’re Thinking about LeavingWe all have come across that time in our life when the grass looks greener on the other side. Well, this is to help you decipher exactly what it is that you are missing in your life.ARTArticleSocial Anxiety & Self Image.In 1960 a cosmetic surgeon called Maxwell Maltz wrote a now well known personal development book called psycho-cybe etics. In it he describes his fascination about a strange phenomenon he experienced time and time again throughout his career... After performing cosmetic surgery to patients over several decades he found that some people experienced a radical shift in the way that they felt about themselves as a result of the plastic surgery. Amazing changes would often occur quite suddenly and dramatically in a person's personality when they changed their face...ARTArticleStepping Stones or Stumbling BlocksLife brings you many experiences, some of which may be good and some which are not so good. Your perception of these experiences will determine whether you look at these as stepping stones to a better you or as stumbling blocks which hold you back. It’s not about life being fair or just, it’s about learning and growing from your experiences. There is an ebb and flow to life. The balance of life comes from the contrast of good and bad, ying and yang. The bad experiences give you what you don’t want, which helps you clarify what you DO want. Life is Not Perfect ARTArticleSUCCESS WAITING TO HAPPEN: You can make it happen. Here’s how.SUCCESS WAITING TO HAPPEN There is a proverb that gives a warning: This is an accident waiting to happen. A dangerous situation has been created and it is inevitable that an accident will happen, sooner or later. Let’s reverse this idea and let us do all the things that will lead on to success. In other words, this is success waiting to happen. Very soon you will be successful or more successful.ARTArticleTAKE THE LEAD: You have what it takes. Here’s how!OUR INHERENT NATURE We are all teachers and students and we are all leaders and followers. Why do I say this? It is the nature of existence. We have to engage in life-long learning if we want our success to continue. So we have to humble ourselves and get other people, be they younger or older than us to help us learn new things. There are times, however when we should take the lead. As a leader we are in a better position to influence future outcomes. We may not be the official leader, but nevertheless we can take the lead and in effect we have some or all of the power of leadership.ARTArticleTake Your Life Back!Rediscover your inner world and take your life back! Are you at peace with your life? Do you feel a sense of purpose with your life? Are you depressed about your life? Do you hate getting up in the morning doing the same thing day after day? Do you dream of a better life? Do you look at other people and wish you had what they have? Are you frustrated with your life? Do you feel trapped? You can change all of these feelings and live a better life. It's time for you to take your life back and live the life that you deserve. This is your time to shine. You can make it happen!ARTArticleTechnology: The Ritalin Cure For ADHDTechnology: The Ritalin Cure For ADHD Byr Bill Cottringer “For normal people, the artificial urgency created by today’s hyper-speed technology is a demon to be tamed; for people with ADHD, it turns out to be an angle in disguise just needing to fly itself into being tired.” ~The author.ARTArticleTen Sensible Problem-Solving Strategies From the TrenchesTen Sensible Problem-Solving Strategies From the Trenches by Bill Cottringer Life is a series of problem-solving opportunities. The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you depending on how you respond to them. ~Rick Warren.ARTArticleTHE ALMIGHTY SELFTHE ALMIGHTY SELF byr Bill Cottringer ARTArticleThe Big Three Gap ClosersThe Big Three Gap Closers byr Bill Cottringer Building on what we have in common always seems to be more productive than over-focusing on the sometimes annoying, noisy and irritating differences we have between us. Two early psychologists gave us some important clues about what we all have in common in living our lives. Abraham Maslow gave us the hierarchy of essential needs we all seek to satisfy. These are safety and security, physical comfort, belonging, self-esteem, love, meaning and self-actualization ARTArticleThe Blissful Place Where Anxiety Doesn't Exist.I was reading a book on Somatics (a way of increasing flexibility, health and happiness by movements of the body) and I came across the term 'sensory-motor amnesia' (SMA for short). SMA is the term used to describe the memory loss of how certain muscle groups feel and how to control them...This happens naturally to everyone as we grow older and results in poor posture, bad backs, strange muscle pains and premature ageing...ARTArticleThe Difficulties Of Selecting The Best Of The BunchThe Difficulties Of Selecting The Best Of The Bunch Byr Bill Cottringer “Never make predictions, especially about the future.” ~Casey Stengel. I won’t argue with Mr. Stengel’s wisdom when it comes to baseball; but in business, employers have way too much to lose without at least trying to be good predictors. And one of the areas that is too costly as a result of poor prediction by employers is the one of employee selection. The adverse effects of ineffective employee selection practices by an employer, can literally kill the bottom line.ARTArticleThe End of Call CentersIf your customers have to contact your call center to ask for help in using your website, or to find information on your website, you have failed in providing good customer service. If your customers have to pick up the phone after visiting your website, that counts as an unnecessary transfer, and customers hate being transferred. Your website isn’t just a digital billboard, or payment processing tool, or a conglomeration of information. It’s also your customer service representative. You should treat your website as the first customer service representative your customer will interact with.r ARTArticleThe Entrepreneurial MindsetI make it a habit to try to come up with new business ideas all the time. I would come up with ideas while watching TV shows, or reading the newspaper, or while talking to a complete stranger. Whenever I walk into a business, I try to see how they operate, and examine their marketing. I then try to come up product lines they could add, or a new advertising campaign. I developed this habit from my father who is a serial entrepreneur, and is the poster child of the entrepreneurial mindset.
