Being Connected or Disconnected: Coming from LOVE or "???"
| |
| We've all had that feeling of "being connected". This could be described as "coming from a place of love" or "being in your power". Perhaps it's when we're with a significant other, playing with a child, performing at work, or doing something you're confident at. This isn't necessarily "romantic in-love"...it's just open, warm and giving to others. You're confident and centered in yourself. Unconditional love and acceptance. Isn't this the energy we'd like to live from all the time?? |
|
|
Letting it all in. Are YOU?
| |
| We strive for goals and aim for perfection. Why? So, we can experience a peak moment of accomplishment, a loving relationship, ideal health or fulfillment? But, are we EVER really "letting in" the joy of it all? |
|
|
Accepting YOU or Accepting YOUR EGO?
| |
| We LOVE it when everyone in our lives loves and accepts us unconditionally. Have you ever gotten frustrated with someone, when you thought they weren't "accepting who you are"? Is what I want them to ACCEPT, really ME? |

Loving What Is
| |
| How many times have you heard "your thoughts create your reality?" Lots? Me too. I understood this conceptually, but often time my thoughts simply dominated my reality and I felt helpless, stuck and tortured by them. Yes, I knew they were lousy, disempowering thoughts ruining my life...but, they felt REAL. As much as I TRIED to consciously release them, I couldn't. Even techniques in NLP, "changing my focus" and using positive language only seemed to work temporarily. The idea of having a "still mind" sounded great, but my meditation practice was filled with lots of swimming thoughts, and little "stillness".
Then I was introduced to "the work" of Byron Katie, called Loving What Is. |

"Acceptance"... and growth
| |
| Acceptance simply means "EMBRACING WHAT IS". Acknowledging the "what is"...may include yourself, your spouse, significant other, job, house, health or a set of circumstances. With ACCEPTANCE, we embrace PEACE. And, it's in this peace that miracles happen.
For those of us that thrive on personal growth and are constantly looking for ways to improve, and better ourselves, the idea of "accepting" ourselves may feel like embracing "mediocrity" or "settling". Won't I get complacent if I totally accept myself? Will I lose my edge or drive? If I "accept" my significant other just as he/she is, does that mean I'm encouraging them to stop growing? NO. NO. NO. |

The Power of NOW during Chaos and Transformation: A Personal Story of Peace under Fire.
| |
| The first lesson in my book The Power of Inner Choice is "The Power of the NOW." In cultivating "living in the present," you are invited to identify current "practices" in your life...a practice being something that you do on a regular basis. For example, working out, showering, driving, listening to spouse, walking the dog, doing the dishes, eating, sex...are all examples of practices -- to turn into NOW Practices. The idea being, as we consciously cultivate "being present" when it's EASY, during a task we already have mastered, we naturally become more present throughout our lives. |

EVERYTHING THATS BEAUTIFUL IS CRACKED THATS HOW THE LIGHT GETS IN

Motivation: The Art & Science of Recharging Human Batteries
| |
| Behavioral scientists and psychologists, such as Taylor, Maslow, Herzberg, McGregor, Skinner, Blake and Mouton, and Argyris, were concerned with human models and the most effective ways to motivate people. They all tried to discover what motivates people and how can organizations tap their resources to enhance their performance through highly motivated teams.

| We want people to be comfortable with us, and be comfortable with what we say. You must have comfort, everybody must be comfortable, before you have acceptance. For comfort, for acceptance and success, we should present our facts, information and sales points in three bite size pieces.
We all have some answers, things that work for us, and we all are looking for more answers. It seems that the better we communicate and collaborate, the more progress we all make.
