Life Hack: 3 Effective Ways To Stop Being A Pushover

By

Life is hard, we all know this. However, it’s inordinately harder when you don’t know how to stop being a pushover. If you’re letting people walk all over you and treat you like a doormat, the effects can be disastrous. Not just for your confidence, but for your emotional well-being and overall quality of life. Now, I’m not calling the kettle black because I’ve definitely had my moments of being a pushover as well. So I know how it feels. It’s demoralizing, disheartening and quite frankly – painful to let others treat you in a demeaning manner. But just because you’ve lived a certain way up until this point, doesn’t mean you have to continue on with it. The past does not equal the future. Anybody can change, if they really want to. And if you’re up for the challenge to build your confidence, bolster your self-esteem, and grow a…

Practice, Persistence And Payoffs.

By

Recently, I began to miss the good old dawn chorus.  Not that I was always happy to hear it.  In the middle of summer in Britain, sleeping with the windows open chances are you, okay make that me…were more than likely to be woken up by above mentioned dawn chorus around 4 am.  Not usually at my best at that time in the morning.  Might even go so far as to call me a little grumpy. Yet, here I am missing the dawn chorus.  I miss the sounds of those little British robins, the song thrush, wren, chaffinch, goldfinch, and sparrow for starters. We have the mockingbird, wagtails as I like to call them, and I’ve seen cardinals flitting around in the marsh trees outside our window.  Not too shabby, but, bless their little hearts, they don’t add up to a dawn chorus. So what’s to be done? I decided to train…

Food For Thought.

By

Would you believe it, I had another lucid dream.  This is peculiar even for me…and as you all know I’m pretty weird. How many is that in the past couple of weeks…around five? If I could tell you I imagined the jewel and brought it back with me,  you know I would.  Does it count, even a little, that in my dream I remembered I was going to do it…hmm not so much?  You’re a tough crowd. I just got distracted by needing to turn a railway station into a hotel and prove to some stranger that she really was in my dream by changing the colour of her husband’s shirt – I wanted to turn it red – sadly, the best I could manage was blue.  I changed the colour of a couple of shirts, but that was the sum total of my control; it would seem I’m still…

Do You Have Two Minutes A Day To Change Your Life?

By

That’s a powerful thought.  My challenge to you today is to start looking at yourself as a powerhouse of creativity. Your greatest success in life might come from this moment, your decision to see yourself with fresh eyes. You might not always succeed in all you do, but your greatest triumphs will come from having the grit and determination to begin. Given that we’re either attracting what we want through our deliberate use of consciousness or we’re experiencing a mixture of wanted and unwanted stuff, also through our consciousness, means that we must train ourselves to move beyond our current experiences. To think beyond them…to imagine better and greater than what we’ve done. Whilst it’s wonderful to know that we are not limited to our outer reality,  yet…we can still find ourselves with limiting thoughts based on…you guessed it, our current reality. So here we are, aware that in consciousness…

Encouragement.

By

It wasn’t a good day.  I must have been in my diva state of mind.  I felt…out of sorts…discombobulated even and I wasn’t having any fun. I can’t be bothered to use the law of consciousness I said to my darling one.  It’s too much trouble. He didn’t laugh derisively as he could have…he smiled and said you’re cute. And gave me a kiss. I felt encouraged. I can’t be bothered to use the law I said to my friend. Oh, you, she snorted, you love this stuff. I was encouraged. I can’t be bothered to use the law I said to these two. They looked at me blankly…before declaring, don’t worry, you’re doing your best. I was encouraged. I received a text from a friend. Reflections are persistent teachers. Cool isn’t it I told him. Yes and no…sometimes school just ‘aint fun. I just love the adventure of it…
