ARTArticleAnxiety is Not an AccidentIf you follow my work you know that I view anxiety quite differently than most people. Instead of seeing it as something to eliminate as quickly as possible – usually with medication – I see it as the soul’s way of communicating, via the vessel of the body, that something is awry inside and is ready to transform. Eradicating the anxiety before you understand its message would be like stamping out a headache every time one appears and then realizing that the headaches were trying to communicate an imbalance in your brain chemistry that needed attention.ARTArticleAnxiety is Not Your Destiny“I’m just an anxious person,” I often hear my clients and program members say. The statement underlines a common globalization belief intrinsic to many who struggle with anxiety, which is: I’m anxious, I’ve always been anxious and I’ll always be anxious. In other words, anxiety is just in my wiring and it’s here to stay.ARTArticleAnxiety: Can Trapped Emotions Cause Anxiety?While anxiety is just one of many emotions that one can experience throughout their life and without too many problems arising, it can also be something that ends up being completely out of control. It is then not just another emotion that one can experience; it is something that can end up defining ones whole life.ARTArticleApplying the Law of Attraction to Manifest HealthIllness and injury are to a certain degree, a part of being alive. Even though there are some people who seem never to get sick, it is unlikely that anyone has gone through an entire life without ever getting a single cold or suffering a few cuts or bruises along the way.
Sure, some people are more illness and accident prone than others, but anyone can have health challenges as a result of thoughts, feelings, and habits.
Everything that comes into your experience matches the vibration that you put out.ARTArticleAppreciation: Can Suffering Lead to Greater Appreciation Of Life?It is often said that it is human nature to only appreciate something when it is not longer available. So when one has something in their life, it is easy for them to take it for granted. Not only can this apply to ‘things’, it can also apply to the people who are in one’s life.
In the beginning when one first receives something or when they first come into contact with someone, they are going to feel different to how they will feel as time passes. This is because one is experiencing something new and so this means that one’s mind is going to be engaged.
GratitudeARTArticleApproval: Is It Good Or Bad To Care About What Other People Think?When someone is addicted to something, they can feel the need to go the other extreme and to cut it out all together. And while this can seem like the right idea, it might not have the desired effect.
Another approach would be to cut down on the amount that one has of something; this will allow one to enjoy what they were doing before, but in moderation. However, this can all depend on what one was addicted to in the first place; as it may be something that they need to cut out altogether.
ModerationARTArticleAre You Addicted to Your Device?This past weekend, while we were away for the 4th of July holiday, I had a profound realization of how addicted I've become to my iPhone. While I love many aspects of how technology enhances our lives and allows us to connect with one another in some very cool ways, I'm also aware of the potential dark side of being so connected technologically that we lose connection with ourselves, those around us, and what truly matters.ARTArticleAre you at Risk of Career Burnout?Are you at Risk of Career Burnout?
Career burnout or job burnout syndrome is a state of physical, emotional and mental exhaustion caused by long-term exposure to demanding, stressful, and pressure filled work situations. Burnout is the cumulative result of persistent stress at work.
What Factors Affect Likelihood of Suffering from Career Burnout? There are many reasons why a person can end up suffering from burnout syndrome. These are some of the most common ones.
1) Lack of control.ARTArticleAre You Blocking LoveAre You Blocking LoveARTArticleAre You Living Your Resume or Eulogy?I had the honor of both attending and speaking at the annual Wisdom 2.0 conference in San Francisco recently. The event was great, and one of the highlights for me was listening to an inspiring talk given by Arianna Huffington, founder of The Huffington Post. In her talk she asked us a powerful question, “Are you living your resume or your eulogy?”ARTArticleAre you making this easy to make manifesting mistake and keeping yourself poor?Hey mate,
You might not realize this, but you could be manifesting poverty - instead of manifesting wealth - because you just haven't got your focus just right.
I was working with Julia today on the phone, and she was telling me about her Feel It Real sessions. She explained exactly what she was doing, what she wanted to manifest. And it was obvious to me, why what she was doing was backfiring. Let's see if you are making this same mistake.ARTArticleAre You Still Struggling with Affirmations?Many people struggle with affirmations. They find they’re not comfortable voicing them, or they aren’t sure what to say exactly because the words feel like a lie. Some people insist that specific words should be used while others should be avoided, and that because affirmations are typically about something that you want to change in your life, it’s important to “fake it until you make it.”ARTArticleAre you unbalanced?When was the last time you checked the air in the tyres on your car? You may have found one to be lacking or perhaps even a little flat. What prompted you to check them? Many accidents are caused due to underinflated tyres, unfortunately my son can vouch for that.
So what has tyres got to do with balance and you?
Well as a Life Coach my company symbol represents yin and yang the ancient symbol of balance. That was chosen because I believe balance to be the key to a comfortable ride in life.ARTArticleAre Your Beliefs Setting You Up for Unhappiness?Each of us holds core beliefs about life. These belief systems have an incredible impact on our ability to be happy in life because they have a tendency to create expectations that all too often leave us feeling disappointed, resentful or angry. By uncovering these core beliefs, many of them sub-conscious, we can examine their validity and thereby save ourselves from much self-imposed unhappiness.
For example, I may hold a belief that people should be kind to one another. Conceptually this is a good idea. The world would be a better place if we were all kind with one another.ARTArticleAs I See It: Learning from Life LessonsAs I See It: learning from life lessons February 2010
As a teacher, I often play the role of life coach, mentor, friend and even therapist to many of my students. I have developed these skills through my years of photographing, painting, teaching and carefully observing life. When you add a lifetime of art experience to the eye and heart of a trained observer, an interesting person emerges. If you listen to and learn from your experiences as they unfold every day around you, you can find the answers to many questions in life. These are my observations.ARTArticleAssertive: Can The Fear Of Being Abandoned Stop Someone From Being Assertive?For some people, knowing when to speak up or to keep quiet is something that comes naturally. And while they might not get this right all the time, it is not going to be something that they need to focus on.
At certain times, they might speak up when they should have kept quiet or kept quit when they should have spoken up, but this is likely to the exception as opposed to the rule. And if one observed their behaviour, they are likely to describe them as assertive.ARTArticleAssumptions: Are Assumptions Good Or Bad?Change is part of life, and what was acceptable at one point in time, is not necessarily acceptable at another. And while this can be a sign of growth, it can also be a sign that opinions have changed and therefore mean very little in terms of social evolution.
The fact that women are gradually gaining equal rights is a not only a sign of change, it also shows that growth is taking place in today’s society. Another example of change is seen in how many people have tattoos. But even though this is an example of change, it doesn’t necessarily mean that this is a sign of growth.ARTArticleAstrology: Why Do Some People Judge Others Based On Their Star Sign?There are lots of ways for people to define themselves and to give their life meaning. And one of the ways that this can be done is for someone to get into astrology. In the western world, this will often involve someone finding out about their star sign and then seeing how they match up with it.
There is going to be the chance that one finds that their sign matches them perfectly. For others, it could be something that partly reflects who they are. And on the other side of the spectrum, it could be something has no relevance to who they are.ARTArticleAttention Seeking Behaviour: Can Childhood Neglect Cause Attention Seeking Behaviour?To be seen and recognised is something that most human beings want to experience. And while this is part of being human and nothing to feel ashamed of, these needs are going to vary from person to person.
For some people, receiving a moderate amount of attention will be enough to enhance their wellbeing. This shows that their need for attention is not overly high and it is possible for them to fulfil this need.ARTArticleAttraction: Are We Attracted To What Is Familiar?When it comes to romantic attraction, it is often said that one is attracted to someone who matches their facial feature in some way. And while there will be couples who do look like each other either in the beginning of the relationship or whose faces will grow to mimic each other’s over time, there will also be numerous relationships where people look nothing like each other.ARTArticleBack Pain: Can Trapped Emotions Cause Back Pain?There is the potential for one to experience pain in all areas of their body. These can relate to one having a headache, stomach problems, tension in their shoulders and/or their lower back for instance.
With it being highly likely one has experienced at least one of the above this year, let alone throughout their whole life. For some people, they could be regular experiences and what has become part of their everyday life.ARTArticleBad Behaviour: Can Toxic Shame Cause Someone To Put Up With Bad Behaviour?When it comes to bad behaviour, there are some people who put up with it and then there are others who have a very low tolerance for it. This is not to say that this is always black and white; as there are going people who alte
ate between the two.
Ideally, one will be in a position where they don’t tolerate bad behaviour; no matter who it is from. In order for this to be the case, one will need to have strong boundaries, and to value and respect themselves.ARTArticleBad Dreams: Can Trapped Emotions Cause Bad Dreams?While some people will be familiar with their dreams, other people won’t be. When some people wake up it is going to be easy for them to remember what took place in most cases and they could keep their dreams alive by writing about what happened.
And for others, they might remember what took place for a short while afterwards and for others, their memory will be completely blank. So during those times when one soon forgets what happened, they are not going to be able to gain any kind of insight from what took place.ARTArticleBank on ExceptionalityAs I write this, I think of how many dreamers and wishful thinkers we have in this jet age. Active in my thought now is the number of people trying to be who they are not created to be. I hope it’s not strange to you when children identify someone they want to be like in the future. Can you remember you once did? This generation of ours is that in which cross-carpeting of personality has been the order of the day.
Do you know what? It is a complete truth that there are no two people on earth. There is no one like you. Trust me on that statement.ARTArticleBe a “10” in 2010 by Maximizing Your PotentialThere is no better time than a new year to inspire professionals to shine the spotlight on their personal and professional goals. As we begin this year’s journey it’s a wonderful time to really delve into what’s working in your life – while also acknowledging what’s not. During this uncertain and treacherous time for the employment picture, I encourage you to see yourself in terms of a fresh perspective and consider exciting ways to reinvent yourself for 2010. Step up your visual image, celebrate your career accomplishments, and stake your claim in the professional spotlight.ARTArticleBe Careful of Monday Morning QuarterbackingWow... that was quite an exciting ending to the Super Bowl, wasn’t it? If you happened to have missed it, the New England Patriots beat the Seattle Seahawks 28-24. The Seahawks had the ball on the one yard line with less than a minute to go in the game and a few downs to work with. It looked like they were going to score a touchdown and win the game. However, instead of handing the ball off to their superstar running back, Marshawn Lynch, they decided to pass the ball on second down, and it was intercepted - thus clinching the dramatic victory for the Patriots.ARTArticleBe Happy Now - Seven Hows of HappinessWhat if today could be your first day ever of consciously choosing and creating happiness? The great news is...that it can. Whether happiness is a science or art, why not bring it back where it belongs, to your life and work at the present, rather than postponing it to some hypothetical future point? Because you can!
I've discovered over my years of coaching life and executive clients to success, that it's really true that we are responsible for our own happiness, and that it's perfectly possible to be as happy as you decide to be.ARTArticleBe married to your vision - 10 LessonsAre you merely paying lip service to your vision or you are sold out 101%? A marriage of convenience sometimes occurs where one party or both parties are seeking to get a quick solution to an issue. Be it citizenship issues or merely passing time. Sometimes we are found reneging on our own commitments and vows out of familiarity and making our marriage so common. Question that comes to mind automatically is "What happened to your first love, the days you used to court your vision?ARTArticleBe Real and Compassionate About MoneyARTArticleBeing Present: Can Trapped Grief Stop Someone From Being Present?If one is into fashion, they will know that the current trend will soon change and end up being replaced by another trend. And while this could be a new trend, it could also be one that was around in the past.
So upon reflection, one could say that fashion is like the weather as it is constantly changing. Yet even though it does change, there are only so many variations available. There is then a wide range of possibilities, but certain guidelines will need to be followed.
