ARTArticleHuman Contact: Do Some People's Childhoods Set Them Up To Fear Human Contact?While there are some needs that human beings will need to have fulfilled in order to survive, there are other needs that can go unfulfilled without leading to someone’s death. This is not to say that it won’t have an effect on someone’s wellbeing though.
For example: if one doesn’t receive the air they need, their life will soon come to an end and yet, if one doesn’t receive any kind of human contact, their life won’t come to an end.ARTArticleHuman Doings: Does Toxic Shame Turn People Into Human Doings?If an alien came to planet earth and asked someone who they are, one is likely to say that they’re a human being. But without needing an alien to land on the earth, this is the description that one could use.
However, although one is a human being, it doesn’t mean that one acts like one. Instead, one can become a human doing and it is then not possible for them to just be. Their life can then be filled with the incessant need to do things or to be someone.ARTArticleHumanity: Is Humanity Failing?One doesn’t need to look very far to become aware of what is taking place in the world and this is because of how connected the world has become through technology. For instance, one only needs to turn a TV or a computer on or to look at their phone. Here, one will have the chance to consume as much news about the world and/or their local community as they can handle.ARTArticleI Feel Like I'm Lying When I Say I Love YouThese are statements I hear quite often in my practice: I feel like I’m lying when I say I love you to my partner. I feel like a fake, an imposter, like I’m leading him/her on. If I don’t feel love, how can I say it? And I’m not always feeling it. In fact, it seems like more often than not I’m not feeling in love, or loving feelings at all. So how can I be genuine and say I love you?ARTArticleI hate my job!
3 Questions For Being Successful in Your NEXT PositionRecent surveys show that 70% of people hate their jobs and most are actively looking for another one! Putting aside all of the specific reasons and circumstances, that’s a whole lot of unhappy people. It’s natural for professionals to feel that way because many people are wrapped up in their job, since it provides income to support their family and a sense of identity. If you’re working full-time, odds are you spend at least a quarter of all of your time at work! Life is too short to be unfulfilled, especially in your career.ARTArticleI’d quit my church if...Flipping through the channels the other day I stopped briefly to watch a tattoo-covered “artist” rap about abusing women and hating cops while he grabbed his genitals to the fast beat of loud noise pretending to be music. His appearance was disgusting, the lyrics depraved, and his music was awful, but that’s not what upset me. What activated my indignation was what was hanging around the guy’s neck – a great big gold cross. Nothing the so-called artist said or did had anything to do with the meaning of this most sacred symbol of Christianity.ARTArticleIf you want to get wealthy isn't the ultimate wealth inside your head?Jeffery Combs, one of the large clutch of associates of Wealth Masters, speaks to build wealth and wisdom through a higher self esteem. A low self esteem is the beginning of sabotage and why do we have it?
Events from the past create feelings; feelings create moods; and moods create identities. We resist change because it challenges our identity as it sets off the right side of our brain to think of what can be, and is pulled back by the left which magnifies what is. This causes resistance and that's sabotaging.
But there is more to it. And that's out reticular activation system.ARTArticleIf You’re Trying To Prove It, You Don’t Believe ItMy counselor Eleanor recently said to me, “Mike, if you’re trying to prove something, it means you don’t actually believe it yet.” Her words hit me right between the eyes, as they often do. She was right and as I reflect on certain aspects of my life, I can see that where I’m overly attached to proving myself, it’s because I don’t actually believe in my own skill, talent, or value (i.e. I’m looking for outside validation to “prove” my worth)...maybe you can relate to this?ARTArticleIgnorance: Is Ignorance Good Or Bad?No matter how much someone learns in life there are always going to be things they don’t know about. That is part of life and is something that one simply has to accept. That doesn’t mean that learning is therefore futile, if anything, it could feel like a weight has been lifted from ones shoulders.
As if one has felt the need to know everything in life, to hear the above can allow them to let go of a lot of the pressure they have created for themselves. So during those moments when one doesn’t know something or they are wrong, it is not something to feel ashamed of or bad about.ARTArticleImage Obsessed: Do Some People's Childhoods Set Them Up To Be Image Obsessed?If someone was asked what comes to mind when they think about social media, they might say ‘Selfies’. These are rarely pictures that people just take and then share; they are pictures that are usually altered so that they look right and after this has taken place, they are shared with their ‘friends’.
The point of focus is not on simply taking pictures; it is for one to ‘look right’. It then doesn’t matter how they feel or whether the image reflects their current experience, what matters is that one creates the right impression.
Eating a MealARTArticleImagine the Audience Is in Their Underwear? You Must Be Kidding!When I first heard the phrase, ‘imagine your audience is sitting in their underwear,' I thought the speech coaches who suggested this were kidding. But they’re not. They are serious. They believe that by focusing on this visualization, you will eliminate your nervousness.
The last thing which is going to make me feel confident is addressing a group of people who are sitting in their undies! I don't want to focus on my audience in this stage of undress – I want to focus on the message I am presenting.ARTArticleImpostor: Why Do Some People Feel Like Impostors?Just because someone has worked hard to achieve something, it doesn’t mean that they feel as though they deserve it. The ideal would be for someone to feel as though they are worthy, no matter what they accomplish.
However, there are some people who are unable to accept their achievements. Part of them may know that they have worked hard and this could even be backed up by the people around them, and yet, doubt still consumes their mind.ARTArticleIn the BagWomen’s bags have long been a source of awe; what do we keep in there, and why? Furthering the intrigue is the number of bags some women carry. According to a 2008 Self Magazine poll, 59 percent of those surveyed brought two or more bags to the office each day. Is more, “better”?
Why do you carry the bag that you do, and what does your bag say about you – particularly in the workplace? Since your bag represents you, your attention to detail, and your judgment of quality, choose it as carefully as you would the words in a resume.ARTArticleIncluding Time to Play in Your Kids’ ScheduleOne area that is sometimes overlooked when scheduling your kids’ time is how important it is to allow independent play.
It might not be necessary to have a literal scheduled block of time for play, especially if play still comes naturally to both you and your children, but if you find that you or your child are working more than playing, then marking off a specific time to play together may be a cure for what ails you.
Play is an important part of growing up. It gives kids a chance to try new things and to take on different roles to see what feels good to them.ARTArticleIncremental Action: Is Incremental Action An Important Part Of Success?When one comes across someone who is successful, it can be easy for them to come to the conclusion that they have always been this way. And this is partly because one is not going to be aware of what they had to go through to get to where they are.
One could assume that this person has always experienced life in the same way or that the other person is ‘lucky’. This can then lead to the impression that this person and anyone else who is successful for that matter is different or ‘special’.ARTArticleInner Child: Does Our Inner Child Control How We Feel?For people who are into self development, the term ‘inner child’ could be something they are familiar with. And not only could they be familiar with this term, but they might also feel comfortable with it.
When it comes to people who are not into self development, the whole thing could sound a bit airy fairy. And be seen as yet another reason for them to avoid going into this area or doing any work on themselves.ARTArticleInner Conflict: Can Some People's Childhoods Set Them Up To Experience Inner Conflict?When one knows exactly what they want to achieve or to experience, there will be clarity. And as result of this, one will be able to take the steps that they need to take to make their goal a reality.
This doesn’t mean that it will be a straight forward process though; as there are likely to be certain blocks in the way. And while life would be easier if these blocks didn’t exist, they can allow one to build inner strength and to have a greater appreciation for what they do achieve, amongst other things.
An AnalogyARTArticleInner Conflict: Is Inner Conflict Good Or Bad?When someone is free from inner conflict, they are going to be able to experience inner peace. Not only this, but they will also experience a sense of clarity and this is going to make their life a lot easier. One could find that it is relatively easy for them to make decisions and for them to move forward in life.
And this is because they are not at war with themselves and therefore fighting an inner battle; each part of them is working together. Procrastination could be something they rarely have to deal with.
ProgressARTArticleInterpretations: Do Our Interpretations Define How We Feel?One thing that can be said about human beings is that we all want to feel good. This need is something that can enhance one’s life, and at the same time, it can also create problems. It can cause someone to grow and to evolve, and it can also cause them to stay stuck or to regress.
For example, pain can be used in such a way that will allow one to be propelled forward in life. And through this, there is the chance that they will feel better. This could be the result of them changing where they live, a relationship or their career for instance.ARTArticleInterviews With Successful People - Ben Wright – Professional Stuntman And ActorAfter having interviewed a number of DJ’s and producers, I thought that it would be a good idea to interview someone from another profession. So after hearing about a stuntman from someone I know, I thought that it would be great to interview him.
Through typing his name into Google, I was surprised by the amount of films that he had been in. were not small films, they were Hollywood blockbusters and included many of the films that I have enjoyed watching. Which include: Captain America, Thor, Skyfall and The Clash Of The Titans.
BiographyARTArticleInterviews With Successful People - Daniel Kandi - Producer, DJ & Label OwnerOne of the first songs I heard from Daniel Kandi was ‘’Make Me Believe’’, and at the time of its release, I was blown away. Although this song is now over five years old, it is still one of my favourite songs. Since then, I have heard many other productions and remixes from Daniel.ARTArticleInterviews With Successful People - Emma Hewitt – Singer-songwriter And Trance VocalistThe first song I listened to from Emma was her collaboration with Chris Lake ‘Carry Me Away’, and this was then followed by ‘Not Enough Time’ with Cosmic Gate and ‘Live Forever’ with Lange. And while I have listened to a lot of trance music, these are two songs that stand out.
But even though I have enjoyed her vocals and song writing abilities for many years now, I have only just taken a closer look into who she is. And after seeing that she was going to be performing in London, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to find out more about her.ARTArticleIntimacy: Can Embracing Our Pain Lead To Greater Levels Of Intimacy?Human beings have an inherent need to share who they are with others; they need to be seen and heard. When this happens, one will share what is really taking place for them and not what they think someone wants to hear or what will make them look ‘right’.
However, in order for someone to open up, they will need to feel safe in the other person’s presence. If one doesn’t feel safe, it might not matter how comfortable they are in their own skin.
VulnerableARTArticleIntimacy: Can Toxic Shame Cause Someone To Fear Intimacy?While human beings need to experience intimacy, it doesn’t mean that this always take place. In fact, one might be in a position where it is not part of their life and never has been.
This means that some people are used to experiencing intimacy and this is ‘normal’, and others are not used to experiencing it and this is ‘normal’. Each person’s life is then being influenced in different ways and their experience on this earth is not going to be the same.
InterdependentARTArticleIntimacy: Can Trapped Grief Stop Someone From Being Able To Experience Intimacy?While it is relatively easy for someone to share their body with another person, the same can’t be said about their heart. This means that although the need is there for someone to share how they feel with another person, it is not something that always feels comfortable.
However, just because someone doesn’t feel comfortable with this need, it doesn’t mean that it will just disappear. It will always be there and all the time it is not being met, it is going to have an impact on one’s life.ARTArticleIntimacy: Do Some People’s Childhoods Set Them Up To Fear Intimacy?Just because one has the need to experience something, it doesn’t always mean that this need will be fulfilled. And this is something that can be said when it comes to ones need to connect to another person.
For some people, intimacy is going to be something that they have always experienced. It is then something they have got used to and it is a normal part of their life. But for others, it is going to be something they’re not used to and therefore, it is not a normal part of their life.
An Important NeedARTArticleInvisible: Do Some People's Childhoods Set Them Up To Feel Invisible?Having the desire to be seen is part of being human and as human beings are interdependent, it is a vital part of not only being able to survive, but to thrive. If human beings were inherently independent, then it wouldn’t matter if they were seen by others or not.
One’s ability to survive and thrive would not be affected; so it wouldn’t matter how one felt. But as this is not the case, it is going to be important for someone to feel that other people notice them and that they are not invisible.
WellbeingARTArticleIrrational Feelings: Do You Have Irrational Feelings?Just because one feels a certain way, it doesn’t mean these feelings reflect what is currently taking place in their life. One can then come to the conclusion that their feelings are irrational.
This could be something that one experience from time to time or it might be a regular occurrence. If it happens on the odd occasion, it might be something that one can handle but if it happens all the time, it is likely to cause them problems.
The Defining FactorARTArticleIrritation: Why Do Some People Irritate Us?Due to the amount of people on this planet, it is clear that one is not going to get along with everyone. There will be some people that one completely clicks with and therefore experiences very few instances of conflict and disharmony. And there will be others, on the other side of the spectrum, who can constantly press ones buttons and irritate them.
In the middle of this can be people who one doesn’t completely connect with and yet they don’t feel completely disconnected from them either; with their being moments where both elements are involved.
Different ApproachesARTArticleIs Eating a 100% Raw Foods Diet Healthy?Eating a 100% raw and living foods diet is absolutely healthy only if it is done correctly and with the right intentions, however it is not necessary to eat a 100% raw and living foods vegan diet in order to enjoy all of the benefits that it can offer.
A raw and living foods vegan diet is a diet made up of mostly organic and fresh uncooked and unprocessed nuts, seeds, sprouted grains, fruits, vegetables and superfoods. It is a diet that does not advocate for any animal flesh or dairy products.
