Gossiping can suck the zest out of your spirit. Gossip is mean-spirited and little-minded; its goal is to make the gossipers feel superior to the gossiped-about. It is seductive, addictive and a way of bonding with other gossipers, all while pulling you down to the lowest spiritual common denominator. Gently observe your interactions with others, and catch yourself if you feel you are getting sucked into gossip. What Is Gossip? Let's define what gossip is and is not. Gossip is judgmental chit-chat about another person or group.

Forgiving doesn't mean that you have to be best friends with - or married to - the person who hurt you. It simply means that you have reached a feeling of peace about the person or situation and have discharged your anger or resentment. The decision to take action after someone has hurt you is always a better one if you can wait until you have forgiven, at least in part. This is because your heart and mind are clear of dark emotions that dim your decision-making ability. So, you've gone through the process to forgive and have released much of your lingering anger and resentment.

Are you challenged to live authentically and in alignment with your spiritual values on a daily basis? Many of us are so busy every day that it's hard to even remember what spiritual values are when we are on the go from morning to night.

Forgiveness and the workplace -- seems like an odd juxtaposition, doesn't it? We do not often think of forgiveness as having anything to do with the workplace, but surprisingly, forgiveness is an essential practice of a highly effective work team. Thanks to recent psychological and medical research, we know that the act of forgiveness has many benefits to the individual. "People who are taught to forgive become less angry, more hopeful, less depressed, less anxious, less stressed, more confident, and they learn to like themselves more." (Dr.

Does this sound like you? You rush from one meeting to another, deal with demanding customers, handle employees' conce s, put out the latest "fire" at the office or at home, return phone calls and wade through a knee-deep pile of emails. With a day like that, it can be so easy to get caught up in the busy-ness of the day -- the din of a hectic schedule drowns out the calm of your true heart. The good news is your quiet heart center is always available and it is just waiting for you to tap in, however briefly, to its calm.

Are you grateful? Now, more than ever, is the best time to practice gratitude. Although, it may seem like an odd time to discuss being thankful -- economic times are tough and public confidence in both corporate and governmental leaders is low. Why should you be grateful when it seems like things are at their worst? Consider this: According to recent research, the practice of gratitude and appreciation can make you happier -- and who doesn't want to be happier? There are several reasons that gratitude makes you cheerier.

Are you afraid of forgiveness? Do you believe that it will empower the other person to continue to hurt you and/or other people? Do you fear that forgiveness will make you give up your role as victim and lose the sympathy you get from others? Are you under the impression that forgiving will make you vulnerable to experiencing hurts similar to those you've experienced in the past? These fears are flat out false. Several of my coaching clients have declared something like this, "I can't forgive my ex-husband because I'm afraid he's going to do horrible things to me and the kids.

There are only two basic human emotions, love and fear. All other emotions are variations on these two archetypal themes. Of the two, which emotion have we seen at work in our economy over the past several months? Of course, the answer is fear. When I worked in the securities industry years ago, we had a saying that markets are driven by fear and greed. Greed is the operative that fuels run-ups in the markets as investors try to make a buck (or a euro, in this global economy).

Being an authentic leader is a cornerstone of building a spiritually intelligent workplace. To be authentic is to be real, to be genuine. If we consider that the opposite of authentic is phony or fake, then most people would vote for authenticity. It's like a counterfeit coin, which doesn't buy us anything once it is discovered, whereas an authentic coin is highly valuable. Personal authenticity breeds trust, commitment and loyalty in a work group.

Her family situation didn't allow her to move at that time, but she left open the possibility that the timing could be right in a difference circumstance. I think this was a wise statement -- not just about jobs but about most decisions in life. The timing has to be right. The same can be said about choosing to forgive.

Forgiveness is like eating chicken soup for whatever ails you – it helps you feel better all over. You forgive others to help yourself – not to help the other person. Surprised? In my definition of forgiveness, the goal is to attain a feeling of peace toward a person who has harmed you. Forgiveness is like letting yourself out of jail – you release the hateful, vengeful thoughts that imprison you and make you feel bad every time you remember the hurtful incident. So if forgiveness is like chicken soup, what are the results of enjoying a steaming, savory bowl of the stuff?

We don’t often think about forgiveness in a business context. It’s usually not in our vocabulary at work. But it needs to be. Forgiveness at work creates a healthier work climate or environment and creates many other real benefits. It is not a touchy-feely, hold-hands-and-sing-Kumbaya gimmick. Forgiveness in the workplace is good business. It is important to define forgiveness at work. Forgiveness is giving people the benefit of the doubt and a second (or third) chance after making a mistake.

When you walk down the street, where do you look? If you are like most people, you are looking at your feet, to make sure you don't trip, to see where you are going in the next step. In everyday life, we all tend to notice only those things that are at eye level or below. Our natural inclination is to look down. It takes intention and practice to look up and notice what is above our accustomed field of vision.

My mother died in 1995. As many do after someone dies, I put her up on a pedestal. It’s only now, fourteen years later, that I have begun to look at the affect the unhealed parts of our relationship have had on me and the unanswered questions they have left for me. Would we have resolved our issues had she lived? Would I have been able to stand forth in my own feminine power with her big personality hovering over me? Could I have forgiven my judgments of her? My mother loved me. This was never in question. She was controlling. I’m sure she thought it was for my own good.

Did you know that if you are angry, un-forgiving and resentful of your father you are actually hurting yourself? Think about it for a minute. Who holds that anger in their body and mind? You or him? This energy becomes toxic to the person feeling it and usually shows up as depression (which can be anger turned in on oneself) or a high level of anger toward others (those who you love and don’t deserve it) or as sickness (the anger creates stress within you and all kinds of blockages). How can you truly accept yourself as a good man if you hate the very man that gave you your life?

Holidays are meant to be happy, joyous and life-affirming times. Filled with joy and gratitude we return home to our families, fill our bellies with delicious food and our hearts with cheer. Right?

Where do you place your trust when you take a leap of faith? I was driving today and a song came on the radio about a boy who could fly because he didn’t know he couldn’t. It went something like this: Spread your armsr Hold your breathr And remember to trust your cape. What is it you are not doing in your career, life, relationships, as a parent, a friend, a writer, a teacher, an athlete that you’re not doing because you think you can’t? Perhaps you’ve not even analyzed it, or didn’t think carefully about something because you assumed it was beyond you.

How are you at bouncing back? Is it easier than it used to be? Harder? Seems like everyone and everything is bouncing back from something; unemployment, poor business, faith in America, the economy, the market, the banks, or real estate. Many marriages and relationships have fallen apart, people have gotten depressed or sick. It seems like a lot and I for one have set an intention to be optimistic in 2011. So I ask you this question: Is there really more now to bounce back from or is that just where our focus has been recently?

What if you were built like a computer where you could run at full speed, operating multiple programs and all at once? If you’re like me, you attempt to do just this and then get frustrated, if you (or the computer) don’t change as quickly from one program as you deem necessary…what’s wrong with this picture? Could be a simple lesson in patience, but I suspect the real reason is today’s demands exceed your capacity. Let’s take another example: Compare your mind and body to a tank of gasoline.

Everyone agrees that forgiveness is a good thing to do. Besides the fact that it holding onto anger and resentment makes you feel horrible and robs you of your life force energy, the link between high blood pressure and other health issues is well proven. Moreover, the research shows that there is a direct link between having a resistance to forgiveness and the formation of cancer. So, people are now realizing that forgiveness is very essential to one’s health and well being.

As the movie ‘2012’ plays in theaters, I am reminded that in 1999, I wrote the following as my mission statement: “My mission is to raise the consciousness of the planet through Radical Forgiveness and create a world of forgiveness by 2012.” Even then I thought, who the hell did I think I was to imagine I could make this kind of a difference? How grandiose of me! Was I really being serious?

Few people going through a messy divorce in mid-life would blame their own parents for their predicament. Neither would a business owner betrayed by a trusted partner normally think in those terms. A person who loses his job every five years would also not say that his grandfather was to blame. ...Few people going through a messy divorce in mid-life would blame their own parents for their predicament.

One of the reasons why I think people are reluctant to go through a process of forgiveness is because they just don’t want to revisit the pain. Let sleeping dogs lie! Why dig up the past?
