ARTArticleHow to be WealthyNormal people are obsessed with money and ways and means of getting their greedy little hands on it. The vast majority of self-help websites focus on making money, trebling your income, achieving financial freedom, becoming “wildly wealthy – fast”. They simply feed the normal frenzy for more money and, very often, the more you have the more you want. Why do self-help, self-awareness, personal development, personal growth “gurus” share their secret tips with you on how to become wealthy fast?ARTArticleHow to Break Away from Frustration and WorryIn business – and often in our personal lives – frustration and worry go hand in hand. We get frustrated that our efforts are not receiving the acclaim that we believe we deserve and we get worried that, if things continue like that, we’re either not going to be the success we want to be or, worse, as a recent survey reported, that we won’t have enough money to do even some of the simple things we want to do.
It could be said that frustration and worry are part of the human condition – but they’re not. They are an intrinsic part of human conditioning – not the human conditioARTArticleHow To Break The Chains Of KarmaKarmic Chains – What do you want?
Do you want success in your life and ignore what happens after it? If so there are many ‘gurus’ out there willing to take your money and maybe teach you how to do just that.
Or do you have questions about life itself? Do you have conce

That relationship that is harmful, abusive, and just plain old bad for you! Isn't it time you listened to what the positive people in your life have been saying for years.
Of course it is, and lucky for you, I've gone ahead and written your breakup, and you love letter, for you!
It's time to release yourself from the bonds of negative thinking, and leave behind a good old "Dear John."ARTArticleHow To Build A Foundation For SuccessWanting is the one hard wired human condition that will not go away. We want to be warm, we want to be fed, we want to be loved, we want so many things. And then after those basic wants are fulfilled, we want to be happy and successful, in whatever way success is defined for each of us. Given that truth, it might work the best for us, to learn how to develop a relationship to wanting that works for us as a foundation for our success.
What would a relationship like that look like? It would be one that on a continual, day by day, basis, causes us to shift our energy from, to.ARTArticleHow to Build Self ConfidenceIn conversation with a jou
alist a few days back, I was asked what tricks I knew that would help build self confidence – he said that he had been discussing this with a number of other people, in preparation for an article he was writing on the subject.ARTArticleHow to Build Self EsteemDo you ever suffer from low self esteem? The Oxford English Dictionary defines “self esteem” as confidence in you own worth or abilities. So let me ask the same question a different way - do you ever doubt yourself or question your abilities? Because, if you do ever question your own value or capabilities, who is questioning whom? Who is doubting your self worth? And who or what is the self? Are you somehow a split personality?
Let’s get something straight right here, right now. No one can suffer from low self esteem – they can only imagine that they’re suffering. The coARTArticleHow to Buy Self Help EbooksIntroduction:

It seems that millions of people, just like you and me, are seeking ways to improve their lot in life.
They are looking for ways to make life changes, to make their life work.ARTArticleHow To Change Jobs (Step 1.)In a prior article I discussed how you can change how you feel about your job, please take time to read them if you haven’t already (copy and paste the links into a new browser so you can retai

Below is a 6 step Negative Belief Buster process…
Possibly the number one reason people do not reach their goals, or even attempt to reach them in many cases is – negative beliefs.
If you fall in to that category then in this post I aim to give you some tactics to move past them.
#1 Identify them - seems obvious but a lot of the time you may be completely unaware of your own negative beliefs. Ask yourself what is holding you back, what is stopping you reach your goals at the moment?ARTArticleHow To Change Your Life Completely In Ten Seconds!*excerpted from the E-book of the same title:
Any one of us, can do most anything, for ten seconds. Think about it. Can you forgive someone for just ten seconds? Usually we can. Can you hold your tongue for ten seconds, even when you're upset? I'm sure we've all done that. And then after that ten seconds, what happens? We go right back into the angry and vindictive thoughts again. And that's not a bad thing, not at all. Angry and vindictive thoughts are simply reminders of some authentic way we are feeling deep inside, that we haven't yet fully experienced.ARTArticleHow to Cope When Things Go WrongMany personal development ‘gurus’ lead people to believe that, once you follow their course of action, life will be plain sailing – only good things will happen –life will simply be one wonderful moment after the next. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I recently got a call from one of my clients, John. The very first words down the ‘phone were “I’ve lost all my money – what am I going to do? What am I going to tell Erika?” – his wife! After I had established that it was John on the ‘phone – and, indeed, that I was the first person he had called, I asked hARTArticleHow to Create More Time - On PurposeCreating time, at first, sounds ridiculous - until you understand how we co-create our "reality." Of course, when speaking of linear time there are only 24 hours to a day, and everyone receives equal amounts. Yet, if you keep talking about how fast 'time flies' and do not realize that you are the pilot who has great influence over how you experience time, you will unconsciously keep your foot on the accelerator without awareness of how to slow it down. Our perception, how we see time, impacts our experience of time.ARTArticleHow To Create The Time You Need To Achieve Your GoalsYour comments help me create more posts. Please comment below.
How can you create the time you need in your life to accomplish your goals?
This is a great question, with a somewhat disappointing answer. I'm going to disappoint you first, and then enlighten you!ARTArticleHow to Deal with Fear, Stress & AnxietyI spent some time with a client last week who talked of his fears for the state of his business, how he was afraid of what others would think of him if his business collapsed and how he was afraid of where is marriage was going as a result. Although he believed his problems to be unique, the conversation reminded me of many that I have had over the recent past. It reminded me of the proliferation of media commentaries at present that “markets are gripped by fear”, people are “fearful for their jobs” and that people are “afraid they will lose their homes”.
All these problems arARTArticleHow to Focus Your Mind and Change Your LifeOver seventy years of psychological research proves conclusively that we live automatic lives. "Automaticity" is what psychologists call our extremely efficient ability to perform routine tasks without paying attention to them. Stop for a moment to reflect on how much attention you paid, this morning, to brushing your teeth, showering, shaving, walking or driving. Do you drive today the way you drove the first time you ever sat behind a steering wheel?
We learn our routine tasks in two ways.ARTArticleHow to Get All the Money You NeedRead the title of this article carefully – it doesn’t say “all the money you want” – just what you need. The defining line between needs and wants is a little more blurred than you might think because, when I use the word “need” it is used in the context of having everything that you need to live your idea of a perfect life. But this concept, in itself, is also open to misinterpretation because of normal definitions of success – which are generally competitive and comparative.ARTArticleHow to Get Unstuck: A Lesson in Overcoming Self-Limiting BeliefsThe other day I was watching the animals in my backyard. As an animal love
I have a bird feeder/squirrel feeder…because, you know – you can’t keep the squirrels out of a birdfeeder so I just make sure there is something for everyone…and I witnessed something that caused me to pause: I saw a chipmunk; maybe 3” long and very tiny go head-to-head with a big black squirrel who was easily 3 or 4 times his size, fighting over who was going to win the right to dine on the peanuts. I watched this, marvelling at the ferocity of the little, tiny chipmunk. He just was not giving up.ARTArticleHow To Identify and Transform A Victim MentalityIn one of the Harry Potter books Harry comes face to face with a mirror in which he sees his parents staring back at him. He longs to stay with the mirror to continue to see his parents and Professor Dumbledore tells him he must stop. This mirror shows exactly what the viewer wants to see instead of what is.
You view your life through such a mirror.ARTArticleHow to Live Life to the FullEver wonder what you’re doing here – what life is all about? Ever wonder why life’s ups and downs toss you around like a piece of driftwood – why life seems to go swingingly for some people but not for you? Ever wonder will there be an end to stress and worry – whether, some day, you’ll be able to sit back, smell the roses and say to yourself “I have it all”? These questions, which bother us all in some shape or form, are simply answered if you understand that life is lived in moments, just as the universe exists in moments, and that it is in these moments of time and spaceARTArticleHow to Make a Great ImpressionIf you’re worried about making a good impression, you can be damn sure that you’re not! You see, the normal mind is split – part of you is there with whoever you’re trying to impress, part of you is thinking that you’re not as impressive as you would like to be and part of you is evaluating whether or not you’re living down to your expectations. And that’s on a good day! That assumes that you’re wide awake enough to even realize that it might be a good idea to make a good impression!ARTArticleHow to Make the Best Life ChoicesEveryone is at a crossroads each moment of each day – it’s just that we never stop to reflect on the fact that each minute decision we make can have life-changing consequences. A client recently recounted a story from his youth. He told me about he used to hang out with his best friend – and his best friend’s girlfriend. One Sunday afte
oon, rather than doing his usual thing of going to the rugby club for a few pints, he decided he’d call to the girl’s house for a chat. The rest is history – they were married twenty years just a few days ago. As he said to me “If I hadnARTArticleHow to Meditate to Change Your LifeI've been working with clients for over fourteen years - helping them understand how they can grasp control of their mental energy, their inner power. But intellectual understanding is one thing. Actually experiencing your inner power is quite something else altogether - and something that will make a complete difference to your life - if you know how to put it into everyday practice. To that end, I've been teaching my clients "mental exercises" for all those years.ARTArticleHow to Motivate YourselfFor the last thirteen years, in each two-day workshop, I've asked my clients if they love themselves, if they think they're perfect. No-one answers "Yes". It's damn difficult to motivate yourself if there are things about yourself that you don't like. And, indeed, chances are that there are things that you don't like about yourself that you've been meaning to change but never do. After all, research shows that most people have similar New Year's Resolutions from one year to the next!ARTArticleHow To Overcome Setbacks Quickly!Please answer this question before reading this post - Are you human? If yes, please read.
So many people get stuck because they feel like their mistakes define who they are as a person. When they fail, they get stuck in a story of "I'm not good enough" or "Other people can do it, but not me."
What story do you get stuck behind that keeps you from reaching your peak?ARTArticleHow to Recognize the Self-Sabotage Behavior of Self-DoubtSelf-doubt is the ultimate self-betrayal because YOU are the one telling yourself that you CAN'T or SHOULDN'T do what you WANT to do! Self-doubt is the most damaging and self-defeating behavior there is because it is criticism that comes from within.
Unfortunately, we mask this criticizing self-saboteur by telling ourselves that it is really our friends, family, coworkers and/or community members who will disapprove of us if we set out to accomplish our desired goals, but the sad truth is...ARTArticleHow to Stay Positive in A World Gone MadSpend a few moments glancing at the websites of any of the major international news services - it is little wonder that so many of my clients have been emailing me to tell me just how difficult it is to stay positive at present. And these are people that I've been working with for some time - sometimes for years - they should know better. Actually, they do know better - but with so much bad news around, they're finding that it takes less effort to simply follow the herd and slip into the same weird and "wonderful" world that most so-called normal people are drowning in at present.ARTArticleHow to Train Your Unconscious MindHow to Train Your Unconscious Mind
Did you know that you’re sitting on a well of power over 30 times greater than your conscious mind? Well, that’s your unconscious and it’s there to stay. You see, there’s a good reason why the rich are rich and the famous are famous, and it’s not because they’re smarter than you. No, it’s because they have found a way to access some of this dormant power within themselves. Whether they are walking the dog or taking a shower, they are working upon themselves and you can do the same too.
So how can you access this power?ARTArticleHow to turn “Easy Does it” into Do itIntroduction
Why easy does it works; It’s the old adage haste makes waste.
Each day nature gives us a great example of easy does it as slowly, the sun rises every single day. Learn from this to go gradually, pace yourself
Agnes Repplier:
“It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.”
“Easy does it” is a great slogan. I first learned about in Alcoholics Anonymous.
When you say, “take it easy.” It means to go about life without stress, tension or anger.ARTArticleHow We Define Success Determines The Success We Have!What Is Success? We have as many different answers to this question as there are people in the world. So let's provide a paradigm for success that works for every single one of them, with no one, and nothing, left out.
Is success how much money we have? Or how many people love us? Maybe, how many people we know? Is success the attainment of wealth, fame, or fortune? Popularity then? Perhaps a loving family? Being at the top rung of an imagined corporate or government ladder?
