Holiday Help For Emotional Eaters
Weight is just that, weight. It is an inadvertent way to keep you on the ground. You are grounded when you have clarity. You are in control, and your creative mind is working to its full potential. With grounding comes enhanced intuition, you may be surprised just what flows forth when you are secure in your own self-being. Grounding offers complete confidence in your abilities and who you are. It gives you the ability to STAY motivated.
The best way I describe not being grounded, in relation to food, are my bouts with binge eating and bulimia. I never focused on what I was eating. It was more about what I would eat next. One thing after another was consumed before I had time to even think about what I was swallowing. During those times, there never was an "Earth to Catherine" moment.

Emotional Sensitivity
Sensitivity is a set of character traits that has just begun receiving attention from the psychological community within the past few years. This is strange because it has always been fairly prevalent among the population. Nevertheless, it has not even been officially recognized as a personality type. I want to make sure that you understand what I mean when I use the term sensitivity. Following is a list that describes the attributes of emotionally sensitive people.

Emotions Caused by Music are Intelligent Emotions
Desperate because homeless people were camping out in a New York bus station, proprietors played opera music. It worked like a charm. It also worked when a California convenience store piped opera in their parking lot to drive drug-dealers away. I find this amazing since I just paid $200 to hear an opera.

EQ for Balance
Most of us these days are concerned about our wellness and we're doing what we can to alleviate stress and achieve a healthy balance in our lives. We think about what we eat, we exercise, and we try and manage our emotional states, eliminating what stress we can, and trying to cope better with the rest of it.
Underlying all our efforts is the fact that we depend upon our immune systems for our health. The rise of auto-immune deficiency diseases is making this more evident to us all the time. Our immune systems are our first, and last, line of defense against disease, and they are directly effected by our emotional states.

Conflict ... A New Perspective
I was recently asked to address the issue of conflict resolution at the hospital of one of our clients. In today's fast-paced and stressed-out society, conflict resolution is a critical issue. People don't always have the time or the tools to handle conflict.
The word 'conflict' connotes something bad. People think of conflict and they think of two people in a heated argument. But as the workplace shapes itself to recognize and be more accepting of diversity and differing opinions and as companies write their diversity policies, why not change the way we view conflict and embrace it as something to be valued instead of dispelled?

Can You be an Optimistic Realist?
Let's face it: it's easier to be cynical. It's also more realistic to be cynical. If you're the kind of person who has a need to be right, betting that the work project will be screwed up, that the marriage will never last, and that Bush will make another decision that will fail to make the world perfect are surer bets than the opposite.
