The Incredible Power of Prayer
During moments of helplessness, there is always one thing that can be done to make us feel more purposeful: pray. Contrary to traditional prayer poses, we don't have to spend hours on our knees with hands steepled before us. Prayer can actually be a wonderful, calming, energizing, yet comfortable activity. Sit or lie in any position you wish. Arrange yourself as if you were preparing for a long chat with a close friend.
Though prayer can mean different things to different people, most of us would agree that prayer is simply talking to God. But many don't realize that prayer is actually a lot more pro-active than simply talking! When we pray, we are actually setting certain forces into motion. Prayers are thoughts. Thoughts are energy. Energy has power. When we pray, we are purposely setting energy into motion.

How to Manage a Transition Successfully
I work with clients in transition. Some of the transitions are chosen, such as retirement. Others are involuntary transitions such as losing a job or being forced to change careers because of a disability.
We all have a different "set point" for our ability to handle changes. It has to do with our natural temperaments, and also the way change and ambiguity were handled when we were children. Why "ambiguity?" Because more than anything else, transitions involve the unknown.

How to Harness the Power of Change
Fall comes quick where I live. One day bright and balmy, the next blustery and cold. The change of seasons is an urgent reminder that nothing stays the same ... that change is relentless.
If what is written in the newspapers and on television is the real truth, you would think that the road to success is a smooth one. You get your idea, set your goal, and next thing you know you've reached it -- not having to change anything else in your life, not even breaking a sweat. Maybe even with a funky soundtrack. Yeah -- right.
Sayeth the ancient wisdom: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." In my coaching I come across so many people who want different results in their business, financial situation, relationships and health - and yet who are so resistant to change the actions they take, the beliefs that they hold, or the words they say to themselves.

Transitions
Finding Comfort In The Middle
Change occurs constantly. Things move so fast today, people cannot keep up. With every change, there is a process that occurs. The process is called transition and there are three stages: an ending, middle and a new beginning. These stages can happen separately or simultaneously. Depending upon the nature of the change, the stages can take minutes or years to get through. And when multiple changes occur concurrently, you can be in different stages associated with different changes.

What's on Your Shift List?
A Shift List is simply a list of activities and attitudes that have the power to shift you from feeling blue to feeling new. Your Shift List is any way you devise to remind yourself of the actions that have the power to transform your mood and put you back on a roll. Your reminders might be a formal written list or journal, a set of well-placed post-its or notes, pictures or photos, cartoons or symbols, poems or songs-or a phone or email "shift" partner. When your aliveness begins to fade, you can consult your "list" to trigger actions that will get you back on track and into the Zone!

Responding to Criticism Without Being Defensive
In an actual war, to be attacked means to have our survival threatened. Thus, we might chose between surrender, withdrawal, or counterattack. When we feel attacked (criticized or judged) by others in conversation, we often move into that same kind of survival mentality and automatically defend ourselves.
But conversation is different than war. When we defend against criticism, we give more power to the criticism and the person dishing it out than is warranted.
While we might need to set some limits if someone is verbally abusive, I think we often ward off criticism far too soon, discarding anything that is valid, as well as what is invalid. The person's words may hurt, but they will hurt less, I think, if we ask questions, decide which pieces we agree with (if any) and which ones we don't agree with.

Compulsive Eating Signs
Compulsive eating involves episodes of uncontrolled eating or binging, that feel frenzied or out of control. Eating occurs even past the point of being uncomfortably full.
Unlike individuals with bulimia, compulsive over eaters do not attempt to compensate for their overeating with vomiting, laxatives, fasting, or purging. However, there may be intervals of repetitive diets. While compulsive eating may eventually result in weight gain, body weight can range from normal to severe obesity.
