ARTArticleHelpless: Do Some People's Childhoods Set Them Up To Feel Helpless?While one is constantly having an effect on their environment, it doesn’t mean that they are able to accept this. Some people will be able to see that this is the case and there are going to be others who believe they have no effect whosever.

A new study says, yes.ARTArticleHow Do You DO Happiness?In one of my personal development workshops I get my students to close their eyes and imagine, in vivid detail, one of their happiest memories, and to fully re-living it in that moment. It is amazing to witness the instant transformation in their facial expressions and body language as their nervous systems kick back into happy mode. I then ask them what actually changed in the outside world while they were doing that.ARTArticleHow Engagement Counseling Can Affair-Proof Your MarriageMy clients call me with a variety of anxiety-based questions (many of which I’ve discussed in previous articles): Does my anxiety mean that I don’t love my fiancé enough? How do I know that I’m making the right decision? Is there someone out there who’s better for me? Does the fact that I’m not excited about planning my wedding mean that I’m making a mistake? Embedded in all of these questions is another question, the one that they’re trying to articulate and hoping I’ll be able to answer: Will my marriage last?ARTArticleHow is Your Work Life Balance?Do you have real work life balance in your life?

From off to my left I heard, "a laptop". From right behind her I heard, "a computer". A few people tried describing what it looks like, eager to give me the answer they thought I was looking for. Finally when everyone gave up I told them, what I saw. When I looked at that computer, what I saw was OPPORTUNITY.ARTArticleHow to Do Optimism“I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.” - Jimmy Dean
When I was a kid I would imagine that I could make things happen just by thinking about them. For example, if my best friend was coming over to play I’d look out for him from my bedroom window and try to control the exact moment he would come cycling around the corner into my road (I was an odd child!). I would close my eyes, count to ten and then open them again, expecting to see him arriving right on cue.ARTArticleHow To End Depression and Manifest Your Dreams Come TrueHey mate,
I just read that studies indicate that people who suffer from depression are actually more realistic, than people who are optimistic. Researchers seemed to conclude that those of use who are optimistic are in fact delusional. We tend to think we are better looking, have a better chance at succeeding, and that the odds are more in our favour than they actually are.
Good. Call me delusional, because I’d rather take more actions that will increase my odds of success, than work on fixing “my depression”.ARTArticleHow to Enter the Friendship Zone and Have All the Friends You Want and NeedLoneliness ends when friendship begins, right?

Clients, who I was seeing for depression, told me how they thought maybe suicide was a good idea and they seemed to be considering it more seriously since the comedian’s death. Because they seemed to be considering it so lightly, I thought it may be important to learn to what degree the survivors are affected by this tragic choice.ARTArticleHow to Increase Your Volume without YellingWhen you increase your volume, does your throat hurt?

If any of these scenarios sound familiar, then you are not increasing your volume correctly.ARTArticleHow to leave a legacy of excellence“No person was ever honoured for what he received. Honour has been the reward for what he gave.” Calvin Coolidge
When we go through life we subscribe to different value systems; some people place much emphasis on having a lot of money. Some consider relationships to be more important than everything else.

It usually involves change, time, attitude and choice, but not necessarily in that order. There are some things we are faced with that bring out the two-year-old in us as we tantrum and say “no” both verbally and behaviorally. The doctor says we can’t eat sweets, so we buy a big bag of Snickers. The workplace says we can’t smoke, so we hatch all sorts of devious plans to do it anyway. We need to lose weight, so we skip anything that looks healthy or involves movement. It’s all a big fat NO!rARTArticleHow To Pick A Career…The Easy Way!What lights you up inside?

#1 Focus On AcceptanceARTArticleHow To Stop Your Self Esteem From Damaging Your RelationshipsI recently read a comment on my blog which read:
"Why do you think self esteem is so important?
My reply to that question was,
Self esteem dictates whether we do something, if we feel like doing something, how we do something and why?
Self esteem is sometimes overlooked by many people simply because they under estimate it's importance, and the role it plays in our lives.

Except that you can not see it!ARTArticleHow to Train Your Voice to Be More CharismaticThere is an interesting article in the Wall Street journal, by the same title, about the charismatic influence your voice can have in your professional life. Having analyzed the voices of leaders in countries such as Brazil, France, and Italy, scientists have found that those who exhibited charisma “use their voices to dominate, rouse and influence a large audience.”ARTArticleHow You Define Yourself Makes a Difference“I’m just the bastard son of an L.A. whore.”
The comment startled me as I conversed with a handsome gentleman before church began. His definition of himself makes clear my assertion
that how you define yourself makes a difference.
The easiest way adults define themselves is by their profession or trade. “I’m a truck driver,” or “I’m a dentist,” or “I’m a housewife,” or “I’m just a lowly clerk.”
Another way people define themselves is by their physical characteristics: color of skin, height, weight, hair color, age, etc.ARTArticleHow You Sound Is Who You Are - True or False?The answer is maybe. As an example, let's say that you are soft-spoken. If you are asked to repeat yourself a lot, others may think you lack confidence.

- The real question is what impression do others have of you because of how you sound?ARTArticleHuman Chameleon: Does The Fear Of Being Abandoned Cause You To Be A Human Chameleon?There are some people who are able to be themselves, and while they can adapt, this is not something that always takes place.
