7 Simple Ways to Get From Exhausted to Energized

By

[success]Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify. ~ Thoreau [/success] “I’m so overwhelmed that I can’t think straight.” This is what someone said to me last week. And I recognized how this has been true for me…and some days still is my truth. We all get pulled in so many different directions every day, stretching ourselves thin and doing a pretty rotten job at managing all our tasks. And then we’re surprised that we’re totally exhausted and stressed out. Many of us are like hamsters on a wheel running furiously and getting nowhere fast. And it’s hurting us. If you’d like to stay healthy and stress less then it’s time to start simplifying and this means dumping all the things that aren’t essential for a peaceful, happy life. So what to do? So where to start?  It’s really not as hard as you think… Stop doing things that aren’t fulfilling…

Are You Making The Best Of Yourself – Or Do You Need A Tune Up?

By

[success]Every day, people settle for less than they deserve.  They are only partially living or at best living a partial life. Every human being has the potential for greatness. ~ Bo Bennett[/success] Once a month I turn my site over to a guest Encourager and today David Stevens, Life Coach, has the floor with an insightful reminder to express yourself fully and move beyond the life you’ve settled for. I re-discovered “live” music the other night. The Brisbane Entertainment Centre was electrified at a concert I attended with my wife. Australian legend John Farnham and American legend Lionel Richie performed above expectation[and my expectation was high] and really lit up the place. It’s been a few years since I last attended a live gig. I’d forgotten how the energy feels and how much positive energy it gives me. And it also gave me further thought on how music can have…

2 Positive Steps to Dissolve Cold Pent Up Feelings And Warm Your Heart

By

[success]If you’re carrying strong feelings about something that happened in your past, they may hinder your ability to live in the present. ~ Les Brown[/success] The most incredible discovery I made about life is that it can be altered by a change in attitude. What you know is important, but what you feel about what you know is even more important because those feelings make up your attitude. So if it’s a change in life you desire, then it’s to feelings that you must turn. Our Encourager for the month of February, shares noteworthy steps to manage the feelings that prevent you from designing a better quality of life. A big warm welcome to the positive and insightful  Zeenat Merchant Syal. A warm loving heart is a gift beyond all else. I lived my formative years, right till my twenties, in a desert (Muscat). I was never a fan of the…

Why Self Care Isn’t Selfish

By

[success]Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. ~ William Arthur Ward[/success] There isn’t one of us who doesn’t sometimes need a kind word, just a little word to lift us up when we’re down, or a smile or two to brighten our day, and help us through. We need a word of encouragement to remind us that a bad day doesn’t make for a bad week, or a bad month, it’s just a bad day and tomorrow it’ll be gone and we can start afresh. So here’s our Encourager of the month to do just that. To remind us that at any point in this game of life we can redefine our lives. We might be stuck in the mud, but we can still look…

How To Move Beyond Wanting To Having

By

[success]Live out of your imagination, not your history. ~ Steven Covey.[/success] Today is encouragement day, and let’s face it we all need a little encouragement every now and then. This month my friend Victor Schueller, otherwise known as the Professor of Positivity and Possibility is leading the way so without further ado over to you Victor: Sometimes people are amazed that in as few as five minutes of work they can turn around a relationship problem that has existed for years. Unfortunately for some, amazement is not the word used to describe their experience. Sometimes people describe it politely as a frustration over many unnecessary years spent in anguish and suffering. Does it really take only five minutes? In some cases, yes. In some cases it takes longer. It’s hard to say (and as they say in the commercials…results may vary.) But, my question in response is, “Why does it have…
