If You Can Observe Something Within Yourself, It’s Not You

By Arlene
Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

By Cathy Chapman, Ph.D.

Everyone has their beliefs about who they are fundamentally. I’m not talking about male or female, or even blue collar or white collar worker. I’m talking about the very essence of who they are. My belief is you are more than a bag of skin and bones who has a heart beating… and then is no more when it stops beating. There is a part of you that makes you, you, that resides in the physical body. This part of you is more than your thoughts and more than your feelings. This is who you truly are.

Noticing the thoughts and feelings within you

What emotion do you feel right now? Take a moment and observe what emotion, or emotions, you are having. You might be feeling something so strong that you have no trouble putting a label on it. Read More→

Show Your Gratitude, Smell the Pumpkin Pie to Improve Your Life and Honor Yourself

By Arlene
Monday, November 22nd, 2010

By Monica Magnetti

To embrace the concept that there is treasure in everything means that we fully trust ourselves to be in the right place at the right time and we accept that we are in charge of our lives. When we embrace that gratitude is part of a natural evolution, then being grateful in all circumstances and to everyone, including ourselves, is easy. Embrace how to show your gratitude to improve your life.

Gratitude is a stance, not just an attitude. It is a way of being and thinking that requires practice. Considering the fall timing of this article, I have adapted as a metaphor for gratitude is the old proverb to “stop and smell the pumpkin pie” instead of “stop and smell the roses.” Read More→

Listen To Your Inner Wisdom

By Arlene
Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

By Heidi Alexandra Pollard

I’m wondering if you have you ever had the experience of trying to help someone, and you weren’t able to do so because they wouldn’t stop talking for one minute? They ask you a question and then jump right in stacking another question, a solution, or continue to rattle on about how frustrated they are.

You know where I am coming from.

So you stand there, waiting for them to draw a breath so you can jump in, but they never seem to pause for a breath and when they have finally expelled the air from their lungs they quip, “Well, are you going to help me, or not?” And then without waiting for your response, start straight back up talking again.

Stop Blaming Your Past For Your Current Situation

By Arlene
Saturday, October 23rd, 2010

By Tammy D Matthews

Many people take an unpleasant situation and let it rule the way they look at life. The company downsizes and you were one that was cut. Your spouse cheats and leaves you. Someone you thought to be a dear friend turns out to be not such a true friend. When these things happen many spend their time blaming the other person for having done wrong to them.

“If my boss hadn’t fired me I wouldn’t have lost my house.” “If my friend hadn’t turned out to be such a terrible person I wouldn’t be so depressed.” If my spouse hadn’t cheated I would not be so lonely.”

Instead of looking at the situation as a turning point in their lives, people tend to use it as a pity party on themselves. I will not belittle the pain. The pain you feel is real and it is expected. But the point is that you can decide to rise above the situation. Read More→

Asking for Advice – Who to Ask and Who Not to Ask

By Arlene
Friday, October 1st, 2010

By Darius Maslow

Do you listen to advice when it’s given to you? Do you ask for advice and only listen to certain parts of it? Who are you asking for advice? Is the person or people you are asking qualified to give you the answer that you need? These are all different questions that you should ask yourself if you are the type of person who likes to seek advice from other people.

Asking for advice is a true trademark of a person that wants to continue growing and evolving as a human being. No great successful person, in any area of life, has achieved success on their own. Many great people have had mentors and advisors that have held them make their decisions. Read More→
