ARTArticleNo Job is Worth Losing Your Health OverI once had as an account manager for a dotcom company, back when dotcoms were still new, and just before the bubble burst. I was single at the time, and I worked close to 12-hour days, seven days a week, by choice. I was on a steady diet caffeine, and fast food. I had no time to exercise, and spent most of my free time in front of a television set. I was exhausted all the time, and I never felt fully rested. And even though I was making a decent living, I never felt fulfilled. I became a workaholic.ARTArticleNot All Artists Need to Become EntrepreneursI run into a lot of artists that want to sell their artwork, or to turn their artwork into a business. I am all for the idea of sharing creativity. I am not, however, one of those coaches that will tell every artist that I run into to turn their art into profit. Sometimes a hobby should just stay a hobby.ARTArticleNumber One Way to Be Naturally PersistentIt's a cold, cloudy, rainy day today in North Carolina, USA and yet I woke up feeling energized and filled with SELF Motivation and Persistence. In the past, an overcast day had the potential to send me into a state of low energy which would often lead me into throwing myself a nice long pity party.
However... it is different now! I am different now! I woke up this morning and - despite the gloominess of my outer environment - I feel happy, energized and filled with SELF motivation to have a productive day.ARTArticleOwn Less and Gain MoreA recent Oprah episode included an interview with multimillionaire director Tom Shadyac, who decided to simplify his life by letting go of his mansion and many of his belongings. His former home had 17 bedrooms (although he wasn’t quite sure how many!) and 13 bathrooms. He downsized to a mobile home with three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and has never been happier. It was fascinating to hear him describe how freeing it was to let go of so many material things as he felt the weight of his former lifestyle lift off his shoulders.ARTArticleParenting Advice for Your Child's Brain DevelopmentIt's easy to find parenting advice when it comes to changing your child's outer behavior. But wouldn't you also like to get parenting advice that helps your child grow from the inside - and make changes on the outside happen almost automatically? The positive parenting principles outlined in this parenting article will help your child to:ARTArticlePassed OnIt doesn’t matter how old you are, or when you start a new tradition. The important thing is that you start it. Some things are passed down from a long time ago. It could be a personal item, a story, a ceremony, or a family event, to name a few. For some people it is merely the way something is done. This could be farming techniques, it could be the preparation of food, or it could also be a lesson taught.ARTArticlePassion Fuels SuccessWhen I was in college, I knew a guy - we'll call him Robert - who was obsessed with the Denver Broncos. That's all Robert ever talked about. Now, perhaps I think Robert was obsessed because I don't really follow sports, and perhaps he wasn't any more obsessed than any other Bronco fan.ARTArticlepaying It Forward- Healing Earth Global Gathering 29/5/11 at 11:11Dear Children of the Earth,
Over the last couple of months I had a series of synchronistic events that led to a wake up call about the Earth. It's an incredible story inspired by my daughter in spirit, my clients and friends in body and the film "Pay It Forward". And it has led to the birth of a global gathering for healing the Earth at 11:11uk time on 29th of May 2011.
IF WE ALL COME TOGETHER IN LOVE AT THAT TIME AND SHOW OUR LOVE TO OUR PLANET AND EACH OTHER- IT IS AMAZING WHAT COULD BE ACHEIVED:
Paying It forward- Healing Earth/Heart Through The RainbowARTArticlePerseveranceTo me, recreating yourself means having preserved over a certain circumstance or many circumstances. For an example, let’s take the roles of survivor’s versus victims. The survivor has persevered over the circumstance and their whole outlook on everything has changed. This can be for any type of survivor in any type of situation from mental to physical.ARTArticlePersonal Power: Is 'Shame on You' Still Holding You Back?Shame and guilt are two feelings that not only limit one’s sense of personal power – they can also subtly cause things like procrastination and fear of “getting out there” in our business. rn.rARTArticlePersuasion techniques to influence customersPersuasion techniques can be very important to an Network Marketing Business professional to perfect. Be it Network Marketing or Party Plan, working with apprehensions and objections of potential customers is not easy! However, the fact that you must realize is that there are no difficult persons or circumstances but only rigid communicators.ARTArticlePlanning CreativitySomehow, the idea of randomness and freedom got mingled with creativity and artistry. Conversely, somehow, planning has become enemy of creativity. In truth, one has very little to do with the other. Large-scale art project, for example, take a lot of planning, and a lot of resources. Most of us also are more creative at certain times of the day than others; sometime even certain times of the week or month. For some professions, like photography, timing and planning is essential.ARTArticlePlanning for the InevitableIt's not a pleasant subject, which partly explains why so many people put off creating an estate plan. On top of that, estate planning requires the skill of advanced planning, something many of my clients aren't particularly good at (at least not until after they work with me!). If you don't already have a will and other relevant documents that will be helpful if you're incapacitated, or after your eventual death, I strongly encourage you to get those things taken care of. You'll make things a lot easier for your loved ones and you'll make sure you assets are distributed as you'd like.ARTArticleProcrastination to SELF Motivation (in less than 5 minutes)!Do you use procrastination to avoid doing things that you actually WANT to do?
Do you procrastinate things such as...
Exercising?
Doing the dishes?
Writing a report?
Making networking or sales prospecting phone calls?
Writing articles and blog posts?
How about something as seemly simple as putting gas in the car?
Well... you are NOT ALONE.
Procrastination is OFTEN the result of your mind being overwhelmed by either too many choices or the inability to see any choices (what I refer to as the "black screen of nothingness in my mind").ARTArticleProsperity Consciousness and YouProsperity consciousness is a way of thinking that gives you more power over what you have in your life. It’s a concept made popular by New Age thinking, but a principle that’s been around for a very long time. Developing your prosperity consciousness requires a few key things that once you truly understand, can change your life.ARTArticlePush Yourself Out of Your Comfort ZoneI was at the gym the other day, and I happened to step on a treadmill where the electronic display was broken. See that the gym was so full, I was glad to have a treadmill at all, and I just started jogging. I had no idea exactly how fast I was going, what my heart rate was, what incline I was at, or how many calories I was burning. The only thing I knew was how long I was jogging based on the clock in the gym. I just kept adjusting the speed until it felt about right. I would slow down when it get too difficult, and speed it up when it got too easy. I was making adjustments constantly.ARTArticlePut Off Procrastination Until TomorrowPut Procrastination Off Until Tomorrow
Procrastination hinders your progress toward your best life. You procrastinate for one of two reasons.
1. You don’t want to
2. You’re afraid toARTArticlePuttin On The GlitzWhat can you do to stand out right now? If you’re saying you don’t want to stand out and you’re in the business of helping other people look and feel beautiful (not cute!)

A few discover the joy of work and the peace and satisfaction that flows from their gratitude for the opportunity.rARTArticleR2 The Psi Continuum of Mind &SoulThe Wisdom of Rhiannon – Quantum Eureka Moments Intuitions Insights Inspirations Ideas
With my discovery of Rhiannon, the higher, female, half of me, at least some of the knowledge gained, through my countless reinca
ations as both sexes, was opened up to me.ARTArticleReinca
ated on Groundhog DayOne of my favorite movies is “Groundhog Day” (dir. Harold Ramos). It stars Bill Murray as the weatherman who keeps waking up to the same Groundhog Day over, and over, and over again. The movie has special meaning to me because, to me, the movie is about what I refer to as “everyday reinca
ation.” Don’t worry, I won’t go too Buddhist on you. And, by the way… SPOILER ALERT!ARTArticleRelationship Reality RepairRelationship Reality Repair
byr
Bill Cottringer
“Man is a knot into which relationships are tied.” ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
Successful relationships are all about keeping things in proper perspective. This is especially true about the different perceptions of the realities of the relationship, and what happens when the water starts getting a little rough on its way to being a tsunami.
People get drawn into relationships for many different reasons (some overlapping), and of course it is best if these reasons are mutual, whatever they may be:ARTArticleRelationships, Spirituality, and LifestyleWhenever one looks to solve problems of life, be it spiritual freedom, relationships, success or family, the solutions work better if one looks for basic principles involved and uses them to get results. The basic principles are what makes up an activity and that is why they work for getting the right solution. Fancy theories may sound good and we may operate on "everybody is supposed to" factors but if it does not get results it is not operating on the actual principles of life.ARTArticleReleasing The Old, Welcoming The NewReleasing the old from your life can be the hardest thing to do. Maybe it came to the point that it was necessary, but it can leave a deep suffocating feeling that makes you want to undo the releasing. But know that the pain is only temporary and it is important to mou
the ending of your relationship with the old. Don't just gloss over it. Grieve and give it a proper burial. You are moving on from a part of your life that had played a major role in your life. So it is important that you grieve the passing of the old, so can begin to celebrate the entrance of the new.ARTArticleReleasing your Creativity May Help Prevent Alzheimer’sCreativity and intuition are both right brain hemisphere qualities that have been ignored and disrespected for generations now. Finally, thanks to neuroscience research the importance of respecting the contributions of both of our brain hemispheres is coming into vogue. I have advocated trusting your own intuitive guidance and reclaiming your own voice and inner authority for several years now.ARTArticleRock and Roll Your Way to EmpowermentIt's a funny thing....for me, at least. Whenever I feel a bit turned around or completely lost in the dark invariably a powerful piece of wisdom comes to me in the form of a rock and roll lyric. I believe poetry, lyrics in its musical form, is the highest expression of the divine human spirit. Lyrics never fail to clearly articulate what I don't understand within.
"In search of truth...and some pointy boots." - Camel Walk, Berry Gordy, Jr.
It's Only Rock and RollARTArticleROYALTY AND REALITYAs the eyes of the world focus on the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton I tip my hat (or should that be fascinator?) to an outstanding performance by the Brits. They are SO all about pomp and ceremony. And we are SO intrigued we’ve been watching it for months.
Why?
In this humble speaker’s opinion it’s because we need some good news. We need a distraction from devastating weather, a sagging economy, bloody battles and bickering politicians.ARTArticleSaving Money Can Lead to Business OpportunitiesWhen he was a teenager, my brother was a huge tennis freak, and he would have to get his racket restrung all the time. It started to cost a considerable amount of money. One day, while getting his tennis racket restrung, my brother asked the guy at the sporting goods store all sorts of questions about stringing a racket. My brother then hunted around for a used tennis racket stringer, and began stringing his own rackets. This saved him tons of money. On top of that, my brother started stringing rackets for all his tennis friends, and started making money doing it.ARTArticleSelf-Accountability Empowers SolopreneursHaving a strong sense of self-accountability is the cornerstone of success and productivity. Self-accountability simply means you are holding yourself responsible for your successes and failures. Most of us feel a sense of accountability towards our managers, co-workers, clients, customers, friends, family, and even society in general. If you are a solopreneur, it is far more difficult to hold yourself accountable.
