ARTArticleWhere's Your Go-To Space?Our need to create special spaces to retreat to for solace is an instinct we all share and a necessity to our happiness and well being.
Beginning in childhood we built forts, hideaways, and worlds of make believe where hours passed unnoticed. Besides fostering our curiosity and creativity, those earliest Go-To Spaces gave us refuge from the adult world that was inevitably closing in around us. Now as adults most of us no longer build forts in our living rooms or create hideaways in the attic eaves yet our wish to get away from the complexities of grown up life is ever present!ARTArticleWhey Protein Powder Shakes Linked to Greater Weight Loss and Leaner Body MassWhey protein powder is a complete protein source which includes all the essential amino acids. The amino acids are important as they increase immune function, repair and heal muscle systems, increase fat burning effects of adipose tissue while exercising, maintain healthy blood sugar levels, and suppress appetite.ARTArticleWho Else Wants to Know the Seven Steps to Success?Introduction
Success is defined as the achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted: they attributed their success in business to hard work. The gaining of fame or prosperity.
Your definition may be different but the essence of success for each person is attaining something they desire. Your success may be defined by wealth, peace of mind, or a sense of joy.ARTArticleWho’s in charge?Over the years, I’ve been doing a lot more life coaching (which I absolutely LOVE) helping people over panic, anxiety, worry, fear and self-confidence challenges, along with a host of other emotional and mental challenges that keep you stuck and feeling alone.
I used to think that getting things done was all “mind over matter”, but not now. You see, you already have inside of you all of the resources you need to get what you want, change what you want and be who you want.ARTArticleWhy Approval is Worse tha
Crack (and how to quit)Think about it, there's nothing nicer than someone saying something really nice to you - or about you. It makes you feel better about yourself. And what that means is you're giving other people the power to make you happy. And, if you give others the power to make you happy, by definition, you've also given anyone and everyone the power to make you unhappy.ARTArticleWhy Are Over 97% Of People In MLM Failing Today? How Can We Change This? Education!How are we going to reverse the 97% failure rate in MLM (home based business)? Education starts NOW!
As the failure rate continues to soar in MLM due to a number of factors, we truly need to rethink our positions we take in this industry! We have a very poor economy and we need to really look at what people's priorities are today! Almost everyone is hurt by increasing taxes which is even going to get worse as time goes on with no end in sight! Jobs and wages are being cut, homes lost, credit cards maxed out, and people have to change their habits!ARTArticleWhy can’t I? – The root of ALL your problemsI still remember, as if it were today, that beautiful summer evening when Robin came into my studio for a private coaching session, radiating an unusual level of excitement. Her energy was vibrating so high that it could power a nuclear plant. I could feel that from a mile away.
When asked the reason for all that excitement, she replied: “We can’t hide anything from you, right? Well, I put the Mental Alchemy Formula to use and I got it!”
That statement was not surprising to me, I’ve heard that many times before.ARTArticleWHY CAN'T LITTLE BOYS SKIP?Why can't little boys skip?
I was recently told of a parent of a three year old child who just started preschool. The parent was upset because her son was told because he didn’t know his ABC’s that he was behind and should consider after school tutoring to get caught up to the school’s standards.
At three years old the child and the parent are already panicked about not living up to someone else’s expectations.ARTArticleWhy Confidence Is ImportantConfidence is important in every aspect of our lives, yet so many people struggle to find it. It's a world-wide problem that people of all ages, genders and races can have.
Our confidence is perfectly intact when we are born, but diminishes during our childhood. We lose a little of it when we make mistakes, fail, misbehave, get in trouble, feel guilty, neglect ourselves, and/or do things we are ashamed of. As we all know, kids can be mean.ARTArticleWhy Do Our Goals Not Get Created?Why do we all spend years working on a goal, never to see it manifest? Many of us just give up. "The Sedona Method KISS Releasing doesn't work on big things." "I am doing it wrong." "Lester could do it, but not me." We have all at least had passing thoughts like this. I know I have. So what is the problem, and more importantly, the solution?
When we start working on a goal, we are usually way down the chart in apathy or grief. Maybe we get up to lust. We just wallow in the negative parts of the chart and never release beyond that.ARTArticleWhy Entrepreneurs Procrastinate & How to Overcome It!Remember the time you decided to take a 15 minute coffee break from work and sat down reading a newspaper in the cafeteria? Later on you got up feeling very well informed about current affairs but realized an hour had passed and you had to rush back to your desk to complete the tasks on your to-do list. Or the time you decided to clean your drawers on a weekday to search for a piece of paper and ended up redecorating the entire room with your son?ARTArticleWhy is it so Important to Live in the NowI was recently asked why authors such as Ekhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra and Tony deMello (and myself for that matter) place so much emphasis on the present moment. My reader also asked me to explain why living in the past or future can be so detrimental - and that's where this article starts!
Very often, we look back on our past - fondly, with regret, sometimes with longing. There's no harm in that - after all, it is our life experience to date that makes us who we think we are.ARTArticleWHY PARENTING TODAY IS SO DIFFICULTWHY PARENTING TODAY IS SO DIFFICULT
By
Bill Cottringer
Why is parenting today so difficult (besides being so expensive and all of us being so busy doing other things)? The answer to this question involves the main parenting role—teaching our children the basic skills that are necessary to get the most out of their lives. In other words, as parents we have to first learn what it takes to be successful and happy in our own lives, so we can pass that valuable wisdom on to our children. This is so they don’t have to experience the unnecessary failures that stopped us in our tracks.ARTArticleWhy Supplement Today? How Important Is It?Why do we need to supplement today? How important is it?
How about an opportunity to work from home helping others to get healthy too?ARTArticleWhy This is NOT the Time to Let Your (Control) Freak Flag FlyYou tell yourself you want something more. You tell yourself, at times, that you’re ready.
And then you don’t act. Or, maybe you sabotage. Or, maybe you fail to see opportunities that are right under your nose. Why?
You’re too worried about “the how.”
When you worry too much about how something is going to happen, you begin to micromanage your life, your business and career, your relationships. You think that if you have every little detail in order, every hair in place, you won’t fail this time.ARTArticleWhy You May Not Be Achieving Your GoalsWhile using Goal Trax recently someone asked the question “What do I do when I have my goal created, my steps listed, my motivation clearly defined and then I find myself ‘Stopped’ and not moving forward with my goal?”
This is a very common issues that many people face when they want to achieve goals. Thankfully, there is a simple solution. Donald Trump said in his book How To Get Rich “The Most Important Thing You Can Have Is Momentum” Now he was talking about business, but the same applies for anything we want to achieve in life.ARTArticleWhy You Need A Little More Evel Knievel In YouI didn't write it, but I would like to have written it. I'd like to take credit for it, but it's from the Early to Rise newsletter. I just got an email from them, and the subject line—which of course is the title—is, "Why You Need a Little More Evel Knievel in You."
It's always a sales letter coming from them—they're a very professional, very well-organized publishing house. I have to say I didn't read the email or look at the website. All I needed to have and experience to share with you was the title.
By the way, that indicates how good they are, right?ARTArticleWill This Be Your Happy New Year?Another “New” year is upon us – but what has changed?
Research (in the Universities of Chicago, Milan, Harvard – the list is quite long!) tells us that, in general, normal people lead repetitive lives where little ever changes. Sure, you might have made an important career change, met the love of your life (for now!), launched a new business, or captained your club on their way to winning the cup in the year just ended. But, so what! Little, under the skin (personal or corporate) ever really changes.
How many New Year resolutions were a repeat of a previous year’s? Does tARTArticleWinning In The Big League – Sales LegendsYou are a professional sales person, you generally reach on or about target, and life is good.
Have you ever wondered just how some people become a sales legend? What secret do they have that is not common knowledge? Why do the same people win the competitions and make club year after year, even after their targets have been doubled? Are they just lucky? Are you someone who believes that they have no life, or a horrible one, because they work too hard?ARTArticleWinning the Battle of the MindYour Mission Critical Business Growth Plan
There are many roadblocks and obstacles that stand between you and success. Running a business isn’t easy, but one thing that is for certain is that defeating your demons and overcoming those gremlins that stand in your way can be the hardest part of growing a business.ARTArticleWork Hard, Go to College, Get a Good JobThis is the conventional “wisdom” that has been foisted on so many children during their formative years – when we all formed our view of the world, how it works and our place in it. It suggests that hard work will be rewarded and that you have to work hard to be a success. It suggests that higher level education will make you a better person and will secure your future. And, of course, it suggests that a good job will provide the necessities of life on an ongoing basis and, indeed, security into old age.
All of these myths have been busted over the last couple of years.ARTArticleWork Harder - Not Smarter!I know, I bet you that you think the title of this article is the wrong way around - but, unfortunately, that's how the vast majority of so-called "normal" people approach their daily routine. A recent survey of US employees by Gallup found that 74% of people don't like their work or workplace - and are either "sleep-walking" through their day or are actively engaged in trying to make the remaining 26% dissatisfied too!
If you start each working day with the useless thought that you don't like your work or workplace, you've already made that day's work so much harder.ARTArticleWorryingWhen you worry, it uses up so much energy. Too much worrying paralyzes your ability to move forward. Think of worrying as a big black bottomless pit. Each time you worry about something, you take another step down into this pit. It is up to you how much time you spend there.
Everyone worries about something at one time or another. To help you see the effects of worrying, please check out these important links:

aling, copywriting, fiction, non-fiction, poetry. You name it, techniques exist to help you do it.
I'd like to introduce a technique I use that crosses the lines and works for ALL types of writing.
One of the biggest roadblocks I hear from many would-be writers is "I'm not good enough, yet" or "I don't have enough time". Procrastinators have hundreds of excuses. Those are two favorites.ARTArticleYin and Yang EnergyBefore I go on about it, here is the definition of each so you understand it a little better. Yin: the passive female principle of the universe characterized as female and sustaining and associated with earth, dark, and cold. Yang: the active male principle of the universe characterized as male and creative and associated with heaven, heat, and light.rARTArticleYouYou are strong and rise above things that you know would sink others. Your determination is a hunger that lies in the pit of your stomach! Nothing quenches it. Your drive to carry on is like no other.
Your demand for respect can be heard from the mountain tops. Your self-worth shines like a light. It hurts your heart when others don’t see it in themselves.rARTArticleYou Are What You Write!Are you Linked Up to here and Twittered out to there? Do you have your best mug shot on Face Book? In today’s high tech world of texting, tweeting and emails there are more communications but less personal contact. This translates into a greater risk of being misunderstood with the written word.
Check your emails before you click send. What kind of tone comes across? Does it sound warm and friendly, polite and professional? Remember people do business with people they like. Would YOU want to do business with you?ARTArticleYou Can Create Anything You Can ImagineDid you know that you possess the most powerful idea factory in the world on your shoulders? Your thoughts, ideas, insights, and intuitions can be brought to life by using the creative power of your imagination.
What is the imagination?
Imagination is the ability to create a mental picture of a thought, idea, insight or intuition in your mind.
Focus on One IdeaARTArticleYou Deserve BetterI’m not here to tell you what you don’t need, I’m here to tell you that you deserve better. You are stopping yourself from moving forward because you can’t get over the hurt that someone close to you has caused you. I’m telling you to stop feeling sorry for yourself. People are meant to come and go in your life; some might be friends, lovers, and yes, family. Everyone has a label, but you can’t keep them around if they treat you poorly. Your life is so much more important than that.ARTArticleYou May Not Recognize Your Inner Wizard, Even When It’s WorkingTed Ciuba: I am intrigued because I have known, as you have, too, a couple of con men. I can think of two images. I’m not asking you to call them up and identify them, but I can think of two images in the recent years that I have been fooled by that, the evidence, later, showed. And then I think about magicians, who, their whole science is deception. And then I think about actors and they’re…. Well, it’s make-believe. Are they playing with these kind of energies that you’re talking about?
Tom Justin: On a much different level.
