5 Tips to Surviving the Holidays or Anytime Alone

Many things cause lonely feelings during the holidays making it such an extremely difficult time for many to get through. You may be too far away to see your relatives; you may be in a nursing home with no one to care about you; you may be dead broke during this “happy” time; many grieve the loss of a loved one, accentuated by their disappearance during a time when others are preparing for big family gatherings, although those events can even make you feel lonely. When so many of our people are deployed and families are separated, unless the one left behind has family to shelter them from the throes of loneliness, it can be depressing. Just as there are many ways for someone to feel alone during the holiday season, there are many activities that need you and will help you feel better as you brighten the day for someone less fortunate

Choice or Habit?

When life delivers a plethora of unexpected and unpleasant surprises, it can be easy and automatic to react negatively. Many of these reactions are unconscious and engrained in us as human beings. Throughout our lives, most of us are taught and conditioned to react to disappointments with sadness, unkindness from others with anger or defensiveness, heavy traffic with stress and frustration, illness and death with fear, and our mistakes with judgment. If I listed twenty activities, most would agree on the "common way" to react to each situation. But, who says this is how we "should" be reacting? Is there an alternative choice? Is there a more effective way? Or are we truly helpless victims to life's circumstances?

The Network Marketing Party Is Over.

When someone leaves a network marketing company, our entire industry suffers.

Becoming Fully Engaged - Facing the Truth
It is impossible to behave in accordance with our values all the time. There is often a gap between who we say we are, who we want to be, and how we act during any given day. Our behaviors reveal our character, yet sometimes we can behave nasty, lazy, and quite contrary to our values.

Overcoming the Fear of Change
Change is inevitable – everybody knows that. Still, most people seem to resist change even if it’s positive. In today’s business environment, nothing stays the same for very long, so those who are unable to effectively “ride the waves” will likely find themselves drowning. Here are ten tips to help you navigate in a changing world.

No Laughing Matter.. or is it?

A zillion more job cuts, no credit available, healthcare costs keep rising, and on and on and on. No laughing matter for sure… well, maybe. I contend that taking this economic downturn or any form of adversity 100% seriously won’t help you reverse your situation any faster, so you might as well laugh a little along the way. An upturned mouth is a must in a downturn economy. Hey, laughter is free and convenient – can’t beat that in today’s market! In that spirit, here are a few of my favorite one-lines from comedian Steven Wright:

This is NOT the Time to Go It Alone.
It's tempting to isolate when things are tough. We don't want to expose ourselves or express vulnerability. But going it alone - especially during challenging times - is self-defeating and can actually be dangerous. Now is the time to seek out the comfort and refreshment of commmunity. Not only will it assist us but it will serve others.

How to Cultivate Social Relationships

To achieve a high level of joy and happiness in life, we must be socially involved with people. This involves getting along well with others, having friends and companions, and offering help to those who need it. We are all part of a social environment, and our social environment provides us with many opportunities for fun, excitement, enjoyment, charity, and love. Indeed, one of the most rewarding things you can do is to reach out to others-to connect with others on a heartfelt level.

Is Paranoia an Acquired Taste?

In "Don't Bring It to Work" the underlying idea is that when stress hits the hot button we all revert to behavior patterns we learned as kids in our original organization, the family for protection and survival. That is what seems to be showing up around our country in this time of sadness and confusion. The knee-jerk reactions are so similar to ones that we can all remember when disagreements broke out in elementary and middle school playgrounds. We were given detentions, told to behave, but rarely sat down to really look at what started the upset in the first place.

Lessons on Leadership: No Clowning Around

The events around the world have a "what would I do" quality as we watch the rescue efforts in Japan. In leadership development programs a module on the many faces of fear is vital. Think about how you and your colleagues have been discussing world events. Is it in hushed tones with a glint of sadness in your voice? Is someone making silly comments that raise eyebrows and cause groans before they say "I was just joking"?

Leadership Lessons: Automatic Happiness
The push for us to be happy is at an all-time high. It may well be because we are still dealing with an economic downturn that causes people to feel anxiety and sadness and often depression. So, the big question is "Can we be trained to be happy?"

Living a Life of Regret

Struggling to "Be Here Now"?
Many of you know of the book, Be Here Now, the 1971 precursor to Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now. From the titles of these books, you get the idea that there is something to be gained from focusing on the present rather than being run by our painful past or anxiously awaiting the unknowable future. Easier said than done, perhaps.

LIFE IS DIFFICULT

In Scott Peck’s remarkable book; “The Road Less Traveled,” first published in 1978, he opens with the now famous line; “Life is difficult.” He then goes on to say; “this is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult --- once we truly understand and accept it --- then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.”

The State Of Happiness
Happiness is often thought of as a state of mind. This assumption is both right and wrong. It is right because when you are happy, you usually have happy thoughts in your mind. You have a positive outlook and your mood is generally elevated. Your outlook on life is one of hope and abundance.

Can the Law of Attraction Ideas in "The Secret" Really Help You Succeed?
Actually I've been talking about the law of attraction for some time. I just called it something different–the Entrepreneurial Mind Set. It's extremely powerful, but just like anything else worthwhile, you have to work at it.

The Law of Attraction-Your Choice
The Law of Attraction is similar to the Law of Gravity. It is a natural law that is always in effect, even though we may not be aware of it. You can let it rule you, or you can choose to create your life through the Law of Attraction principles.

The State of Being in the Moment

In the western world, taking action often appears to be the best solution for many life situations. When you want to expand your business, for example, you might set up a short term plan as well as a long term vision. Each day you take action as you progress toward your chosen goals. Being a well-rounded person, you incorporate creativity and inspiration to achieve the dreams and goals that you desire. You work with others who contribute to accomplishing common aims. After several years, your business is increasing and you enjoy financial and personal success. Being a person who is confident and has good self-esteem, you feel proud of your accomplishments, as you should. Then one day your inner self whispers a deeper truth.

The Heroic Path

We are all born heroes. We choose our path and destiny every moment of every day. The hero's path is one of healing, of trials, and of discovering true power and enlightenment. It is not the power of the ego-that desires power to boost itself through greed, pushing harder, or through acknowledging superiority over others. Our deeper truth, the one we carry in our Souls, is that of great vision, of leaping over obstacles with courage. Our greatest power takes wings through love, and connecting with others through compassion and kindness. The hero within knows that contribution is the key to the greatest gift he or she can offer others.

WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT DIRECT MARKETING?
The great thing about direct marketing is that it can be anything you want it to be.

It's Never As Bad As You Expect
Our minds play tricks on us, and one of the tricks they play is imagining that something will be absolutely horrible. This turns out to be a useful trick, because in fact things are rarely, if ever, as bad as we expect, and we are always able to deal with them more easily because of that.
