Deactivate Difficult People

Anger is not an emotion. When we are angry, we are attacking. We only attack someone if we're scared. The emotion under anger is fear. Anger itself is our attack so we can be safe. So, someone is angry, frustrated, irritated, or annoyed with you. Why? Aren't you a safe person to be with?

Remember, their anger means they are scared. With coworkers, kids or partners, their anger is not about you. It's about their fears. Don't get defensive. Just agree that they have the right to feel what they are feeling. Listen. Really listen. In an amazingly short time, they will be talking about their fears. Then you'll have truly proven that you are safe to be with, and given them an opportunity to experience what working through their anger is like. They'll remember it. And they'll want more.

5 Ways to Discover What You Want to Do With the Rest of Your Life

Teenagers are not the only ones attempting to discover how to have a fulfilling and exciting life. Men and women of all ages, and that includes people in their 80s, want to have a purpose to their life. They want to do something meaningful. No matter how old you are, here are 5 ways to begin the process of beginning your new journey in life, whether you beginning for the first time or the tenth time.

What do you enjoy doing? Life is drudgery if you don't do what you enjoy. A teenager will have a different idea of what is fun than an 80 year old. (Yes, people in their 80s have asked me to help them find meaning in the rest of the days they have to live.) The older you are the more experiences you've had. Some of what you did as a kid no longer appeals to you. As a teen you hopefully have a wealth of years ahead of you to explore. Identify what you enjoy doing and then discover how you can incorporate that into a new job or activity.

We all know that setting goals is the most important step to achieving success, no matter how large or small those successes may be. Whether we want to lose 20 pounds, save enough money for retirement, or get a promotion, goal setting is the first and most fundamental step to take on our journey. But often people are left wondering exactly how to set goals. Follow these simple steps when outlining your goals and before you know it you'll be on your way to achieving your goals.

Who's Running Your Life?
Get Drama and Trauma Out of Your Karma

Have you ever had the experience of deciding to take a certain action, but end up doing something quite different? Crazy! Why do we do that? Often our actions are being run by decisions we made as a kid. Decisions that went on automatic, underground, behind-the-scenes, and now, affect us unconsciously. Decisions that are now controlling our actions in the present moment without us being aware of them.

Why do we get so off track after we begin with such good intention and courage? It's those pesky childhood decisions! As we grew up, we developed strategies to survive at home and in school. We wanted our parents' love, attention and a safe place to live. We wanted to belong, get asked to the prom, and pass exams -- while not getting beaten up by the school bully or humiliated by gossip.

Master the Skills of Success and Achieve Your Most Elusive Goals

Everyone has something in their life that they would like to change. Some really big goals include overcoming addiction, achieving and sustaining weight loss, attaining inner peace, manifesting health, or becoming more successful. We are born to continuously expand our abilities.

The beginning of most goals are exciting. Visions of triumph flourish in the minds of those starting a path of change. Each new day brings energy to chase down the most elusive of goals. But what if you've been working on manifesting the same dream for years? And one day, despite your optimism, despite the effort of applying the tools of empowerment, you realize that you have not acquired the goal which you set for yourself.

Successful Goal Setting in 7 Steps

What is the difference between those who practice successful goal setting and those that simply flounder from failed goal to failed goal? The truly elite have learned that goal setting isn't as simple as wanting something. They know that to have a goal is more than just wishful thinking, they possess the keen understanding that it's a process that has to be followed.

Much like the series of calculated steps that a space shuttle requires before lifting into space, successful goal setting entails following a procedure that will hurtle you into the next atmosphere of achievement. Lucky for you, these steps are simple, yet extremely powerful.

The Ten Most Effective Tools to Become
More Conscious, More Calm and More Grounded

When we breathe slowly and deeply into the bottom of our lungs we are using the most powerful tool there is to get ourselves out of the Fight or Flight Response, and into a more calm, relaxed state.

By practicing slow, deep abdominal breathing on a regular basis, we become more aware of when our breathing shifts into shallow, faster breathing, a sign that we have become more anxious and stressed. As soon as we focus awareness on our breath and start breathing more slowly and deeply, we immediately become calmer and will feel better able to deal with whatever the situation is that changed our breath and how we are feeling.

4 Great Lessons to Learn From the Ants

From time to time, we may hit rock bottom. Sometimes, it seems like challenges happen like an avalanche - overwhelming and unexpected. Always remember, none of these problems are your fault, things happen to all of us. Always remind yourself to stay positive despite your circumstances, do not lose hope or be discourage.

We all experience failure, disappointments, rejections and setbacks. Yes it hurts, and that is okay. Events happen, what is important is how we react to the event that will either make us a victim or a victor. If you are faced with adversity, and hit rock bottom, be like the ants, find creative ways to pick yourself up, get on track and keep moving forward.
