It's a great thought, but it's one that comes with a very simple problem – you don't need to change your life. You need to make radical life changes.

It may surprise you to know that many people are unhappy with life. Most people find that they don't know their place, and that they don't feel that they're living a life of purpose and fulfillment. No one can necessarily teach you how to be happy. Happiness is something that's inside you. It's a mindset, an emotion, and a goal. It's something that has to be brought out passionately, so that you can not only find some type of happiness now, but also be happy for the rest of your life. Why People Come to Coaching

Stress at work is something that can’t always be avoided, but in today’s economy, work stress is an ever increasing problem. Did you know that stress at work costs employers over $300 billion each year in reduced productivity, health costs, and no-shows? According to a survey by Yale University, almost 30% of all workers surveyed checked that they were either, “quite a bit” or “extremely” stressed while at work. I think it is clear that there is a definite link between stresses at work and how much those workers can produce, don’t you? Where to Start to Manage Stress

A Rough Day is a Reality of Life I think the first thing that we need to realize about a bad day is that it is going to happen to everyone. No one goes through life without struggle. It is rather, how we chose to react to it that will truly tell the tale of the day.

Recently I attended a really fantastic workshop on Time management, and I was struck by an amazing revelation. The revelation was not linked to anything that the lecturer had said, but it was what the lecturer said and what was in my head that caused the revelation to happen. During my time as a coach and an educationalist I have had the attitude of a learner. There are three types of learners in this world and it is my determination to be the third of the list below. 1.

There is an invisible force all around us and its application in everyday life is more valuable than most people understand. The invisible force is a real thing,and although we cannot see it or feel it, we can appropriatte its power in ways that benefit us hugely. Cybe etic Systemics is commonly known as Locus of Control. When we look around us in every moment of every day, we see control staring back at us, asking us what it wants us to do. Now that may sound a little strange, but the power of control resides within itself, and it may be placed where needed.

3 Reasons You Can’t Afford To Miss Out On Group Meditation Meditation can be a uniquely fulfilling experience. But—it can also be a lonely one. Many people, when first learning to meditate, do so on their own, often from the comfort of their own homes. They research breathing techniques to follow, or discover guided meditations online. Some purchase books on the subject, while others still do nothing of the sort and simply resolve themselves to sitting quietly in a room to contemplate the breath.

It’s that time of year again. As school semesters draw to a close, students everywhere break out in a collective sweat as they hear the word: Finals. Yes, it’s exam season.

Students are feeling the heat as the school year nears its end. With the looming prospect of exams, final projects, and presentations galore, it’s enough to turn anyone a little harebrained.

Sound has a physiological effect on us. The chakras can be positively affected by different sound frequencies and vibrations. Using sound in chakra therapy can help you to release negative emotions just by using energy - since everything is energy, your chakras will 'come into tune' with the sound you use, just like an instrument is tuned to a specific frequency of a tuning fork. The idea here is that an even, balanced sound resonates within the body and the chakras, allowing them to become balanced as well.

Kids are resilient. There seems to be nothing they can’t bounce back from, whether it be a collapsed sandcastle, a grocery store tantrum, or having to throw their favorite pair of shoes away because they’ve got holes where the soles should be! The natural sense of curiosity, playfulness, adventure and exploration children possess is a refreshing reminder for us as adults not to take life so seriously. At least not all the time. Children seek to remind us of the importance of play, of leisure, of learning to live in the moment, enjoying each delightful surprise that comes our way.

In all the Universe there is nothing at rest. Everything is in motion, all things from man to a grain of sand being in a constant state of vibration. But although everything is in motion, everything is not moving at the same rate. The rate of vibration shows the quality of force the thing is using. The higher the rate of vibration, the greater the degree of spiritual force expressed. The rate of consciousness the person or thing is expressing can always be told by the name the person or thing is using.

One of the things that I always take into consideration in a coach-client relationship and self-actualization is the word, SELF. Self-Actualization, by its very nature, is about the person, the self. Now, before I continue, let me say something about the SELF, because for some, the self does not exist, but is a transcendent property of the ever changing phenomenon of living. I think it is in this place that the use of human language to express experience comes in. I believe in the self as my unique personhood. Self is that expression of who I am and the value that I am.

Can our self-actualization be limited? Absolutely. Are these limits insurmountable? Absolutely not. Self-actualization is the actualizing of our full humanness. It is the unleashing of those things that hinder our growth into what ought to be. Self-actualization is the movement from ‘aught’ to’ is.’ Self-actualization is not just for the few who know about it or the few who study it or the few who work at it,self-actualization is the actual potential of every person on this planet. Self-actualization is the full potential of every newbo child.

When people see me with my children it sometimes leaves them puzzled due to the disparity in their ages. Having one adult child and then seeing age of the two others often ends up with that “hmmm” stares in directed at me. My oldest is the spitting image of me but people are never quite sure if he’s my brother or some other relative. He’s quite protective of his younger siblings and almost fatherly (I said almost) yet he has a very young face. I’m flattered when they realize what the real story is and they tell me I don’t look old enough to have a child that age but in reality I am.

You are that which constitutes the energy that is forever arising. It is beyond its own creation. The creation comes and goes in cycles - all things pass away, seen and unseen, internal and exte al - they are transient, all of it is transient, everything except for the very energy (heart) that sustains it all.
