WHAT IS YOUR FOCUS? 2008-03-19 19:32:00 Recently, I was absolutely astonished to learn that many people never set goals. Unfortunately, these folks were unfulfilled, as a result of never looking at what they really wanted out of life. In order to know what you want and peruse it, you need to know yourself and be in tune with what makes you happy.One of the best ways to know yourself is to journal frequently and write your feelings down. I have spent 20 years journaling and have come to know myself incredibly well. One caution, find an exceptional hiding spot, so it stays private, or destroy it once you’re finished. I encourage you right now to take out a pen and paper and write five things that bring you joy. For me: 1) helping others 2) traveling 3) children 4) great conversation and 5) racquetball come to mind immediate
WANTED SELF-ESTEEM 2008-03-19 19:30:36 What is the most common underlying problem today? Internationally, my clients depict the sad universal truth, most of us do not feel good about who we are. As a result, careers are not fulfilling, the wrong type of people come into our lives and we do not take adequate care of our bodies, nor set appropriate boundaries… all these issues stem from low self –esteem. To create happiness and help a person feel better, these exercises are essential.Before you just automatically read on, consider if you truly could benefit from looking within and feeling better, about whom you are? Next, know that what you are about to read is effective, but the catch is you have to do it CONSISTENTLY for three weeks. Writing a note and placing it in the kitchen or bathroom is effective for rememberin
VISUALIZATION 101 2008-03-19 19:23:19 Would you like to imagine what you want and in a number of weeks acquire it? People who visualize practice this tool and that is exactly what occurs. With a little practice, anyone can be successful practicing this technique.I read Creative Visualization by Shakti Gwain, a best selling author and intuitive.The main premise is picturing exactly what we want down to the minutest detail. For example, someone wants a new car. They have to picture the make, model, color, etc. It is also a good idea to test drive it and feel what it is like. Then they can picture themself driving this gorgeous light blue Toyota Solara with tan interior. The wind blows softly through their hair while Devo plays beautifully on the crisp stereo as they excitedly drive down A1A overlooking the beach.
Manifesting mayonnaise … 2008-03-19 19:17:07 At a time when I was so poor that mayonnaise was not in my budget, I wished I had some to make a tuna salad. My favorite neighbor, Mr. H. Goldsmith popped out of his door two days later and said, “Do you eat mayonnaise?” Flummoxed, I slowly replied, “y-e-s-s.” He matter of factly said,” They had buy one get one free and I can’t use all this.” In a sheepish way I whispered, “Thank you.” MANIFESTATION is the act of telling the universe what you need, and through faith the item appears. The more I believe the universe will supply, the more I receive. Of course, I never ASK for anything I do not need. I BELIEVE I will be given what I request. And it is imperative to be GRATEFUL, so I always say thank you!We are very powerful and the only limits that reside are those we Read more:Manifesting
HOW COMMON IS YOUR COURTESY? 2008-03-19 19:16:16 A man was ready to end his life. He decided to go into the ocean on the other side of town and drown himself. However, he relayed that if someone smiled at him on his way he would forgo his plans and live. Now…I pose the question to you. If that man met you yesterday, would he have lived or died. This story explains that the littlest things or courtesies make all the difference. In addition, the concept that we are all ONE is certainly obvious here. Our behavior affects others. Consider how nice it feels when someone holds the door open.When someone remember our name, we feel significant and special. A terrific book How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie describes hearing our name as music to our ears. The trick is to want to remember and not tell ou
DO YOU TRUST YOURSELF? 2008-03-19 19:14:42 Have you ever been thinking of someone and suddenly the phone rings and it is that same person? Or, have you felt inclined to go somewhere and ended up meeting someone by “accident”? These are not coincidences, but are your intuition at work. The dictionary defines intuition as comprehension without effort or reasoning, instinctive knowledge. Can you think of a situation where you had a hunch about something and you benefited because you acted on it? What about the times when you did not, did you pay for it in one way or another? Everyone has intuition to some degree. The test resides in; do you usually listen to those feelings or ignore them? I finally realized that when I listened, I benefited. An astrologer once told me that I had more intuition than anyone
THE HAPPINESS WAY…HEALING FOOD ADDICTION 2008-03-19 19:02:44 Recently, NBC TV invited me to appear as expert regarding addictions, yet the credit clearly goes to the concept of Metaphysics, the spiritual study of energy and its application. I am sustaining a 75-pound weight loss for four years by healing my emotional issues, implementing mind control and creating inner happiness. With my extensive background in psychology, integrated with my expertise in Metaphysics, this information has successfully helped numerous others to succeed and lead a healthier, more fulfilled life.Although there are many kinds of addictions, with 60% of Americans overweight, let us look at food being used as an emotional release.Some signs to detect food addiction…Have you ever: Eaten when not hungry? Felt compelled to eat after a conversation? Found yourself eating out

TO ENHANCE A CHILDS SELF-ESTEEM 2008-03-19 18:50:58 By Mary CatherineOne of the most important gifts we can give a child is the ability for them to feel good about themselves, or positive self-esteem. This alone will determine the type of friends they have, their academic achievements, and their success in life. Although there are numerous ways to produce this result, I have pinpointed eight that are essential. Consider how these apply to your parenting style…1. Give them unconditional love.Love them no matter what they do or do not do. Love needs to be automatic, while behaviors are favorable or unfavorable. This allows children the freedom to be themselves. Only then, can they learn and grow with confidence.2. Help them feel valuable.Show them ways they bring value to the family. When they help you or a sibling that is the perfect oppor
ELIMINATING WHAT? 2008-03-19 18:50:10 There is no room for new garments that you could actually wear, if you keep the old. There is no time for enjoyable friends, when you entertain energy drainers. What I’m speaking of is called elimination. When we clear our homes of things we no longer need and stop talking to people that are not improving, our lives become extraordinary. Once removed, energy is allowed to flow more easily.Some helpful Feng Shui and Metaphysical practices that I follow are: closing the bathroom toilet seat and the door when exiting, so the energy and “money” in the household do not go down the drain. Sounds silly right? My monthly income has increased greatly since practicing it. Also, mirrors, electrical equipment, desks and TV’s in the bedroom interfere with sleep and are discouraged. And, the hea
HOME’S REFLECT INNER PEACE 2008-03-19 18:49:52 When we clear our homes of things, we no longer need and stop talking to people that are negative and not improving, our lives become extraordinary. Once removed, we become happier, our homes become more peaceful and a process termed elimination has occurred.Some helpful Feng Shui and Metaphysical practices that I follow are: closing the bathroom toilet seat and the door when exiting, so the energy and “money” in the household do not go down the drain. Sounds silly right? My monthly income has increased greatly since practicing it. Also, mirrors, electrical equipment, desks and TV’s in the bedroom interfere with sleep and are discouraged. The bedroom, if possible, need be only for sleeping just as a dining room is mainly for eating. And, the head of our bed should be 8 inches from th
THE MESSAGE IS, LOVE 2008-03-18 13:25:12 A mother asked me candidly, “What do I do with my children for Christmas?” Sensing her frustration, my reply came; first let look at how your children feel loved, since Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanza all focus on love.Everyone feels love differently and realizing this is important. We discovered that when she gave her oldest son a beautiful catcher’s mitt, he really wanted her to say, “Bobby I’m proud of you for trying out for the team.” He may need words of encouragement to feel loved, not gifts. Her second oldest she thanked with words for a thoughtful gift he gave, but he preferred a visual note focusing on her feelings for his kind gesture. Her youngest son cared nothing about gifts, notes or words, but desired consistent affection with hugs and kisses. Each child has a dif
A MALE READER ASKED… 2008-03-18 13:24:45 “Where can I go to find a high functioning female?” The idea of LOOKING for someone is what we caution against. If you are living fully, the right person will come into your life and join you on your journey. When we are looking for something, we are not in the moment and often miss other opportunities along the way.The act of being in the right place at the right time or serendipity exists when one is following their heart. For example, on New Years Eve, I felt like walking 2 miles to a restaurant to celebrate. On the way home, I met a gorgeous man on a bike and started 2007 with a date. Listening to our intuition leads to accomplishing our goals every time.My reader himself has to be what he desires. Educating oneself in areas of interest to develop one’s mind is important for some
TIME… MONEY… AND ENERGY 2008-03-18 13:24:29 Imagine having time, money and energy to do everything you like to do… Whatwould that look like for you? Take two minutes to visualize what your life would looklike if you had time, money and energy to do everything you like to do… It is possible toexperience that pleasant thought.Time is the most precious thing we have. Once you lose it, it is gone forever.Making the best use of our time is a key to a successful life. Do you use your minuteswell or allow them to sneak away? A few suggestions: plan your days ahead of time, usehands free when on the phone, use a timer for tasks, and watch TV sparingly.Is money something you wish you had more of? Consider asking for a raise inyour present position, all they can say is,” No.” Look at your interests and talents and seeif you can earn e
TEENS AND INTIMACY 2008-03-18 13:23:52 One of the biggest problems faced by our youngsters today is the question dealing with intimacy. TV programs and life depict people meeting and becoming very familiar within minutes, but is that the way it is supposed to be? Does this result in someone feeling cherished and special? Of course not, but our society seems to focus more on meeting sexual desires and less on feeling loved. This article teaches the value of loving oneself to make better partner choices.In working with a group of young people, interestingly enough, they were all practicing either risky or casual sex. Rather than telling them what to do, I showed them this chart:Risky Sex ----------- Result - S.T.Disease’s, Pregnancy, Emptiness and 1-night StandCasual Sex-----------Result-- S.T.Disease’s, Pregnancy, Emptiness

Dealing with Negativity 2008-03-18 12:26:05 Unfortunately, there is more negative energy in the world right now than positive. Positive energy stems from love and consists of everything that makes us feel good. Negative energy is rooted in fear and makes us feel bad. However, the truth of the matter is we create our own negative energy. ssince we are responsible for it, we can control it.For one, no one is exempt, but some fight negativity better than others. It is a constant lesson of analyzing our thoughts, feelings and behaviors to see if they depict any negative tones. If we are negative, we need to turn it around or it could get worse.Also, consider in interactions what you are operating out of. Just yesterday, a woman called and took up my time with a mistake that was her fault. When she apologized I said, “No need t
Choosing to be positive 2008-03-18 12:25:13 What I would like to offer you is the power to take any event, situation and circumstance in your life that appears to be negative and find a way to choose to be positive regardless of what it is. You may think this sounds like Pollyanna, yet it is actually possible.I would like to preface with the fact that I have struggled horribly with health issues half of my life and have actually used these techniques to a remarkable level. I hope that that gives me some credibility.First, it helps to believe that there is something orchestrating our lives. For some it is energy, others a Higher Power, Buddha etc. The main thing is that we do not have to do it all by ourselves. Telling the universe what we need, believing we will get it, and in time, we actually do.Second, our beliefs need altering b
