The funny thing about clutter is, at some point, we stop seeing it. It starts to blend in with our every day and becomes a fixture in our homes. It can even be said, physical clutter is a mirror reflection of mental clutter. Take a peek inside your mind. Is it open and free, or messy, […]
Do you find yourself lacking motivation? Occasionally? Every day? Right now, even? Well, join the club! You’re in good company. It happens to the best of us and has all sorts of causes. You may be tired, overworked, overwhelmed; the list goes on and on. But, at the end of the day, you still have […]
The other day I talked a bit about identifying the distractions in your life holding you back from being truly productive. One scenario many people might fail to recognize is the environment in which they are attempting to work. Sit back and take a good long look around you. Is it clean and tidy, with […]
We’ve all been asked the following question during a job interview, what are your strengths? We usually try to answer with the assumed expectations of the interviewer. But are the answers we give in times of nervous stress our truths? If asked outside of a job interview, would we be able to tell honestly, what […]
Did you know that Einstein, one of the greatest minds of the 20th century, wore the exact same style of outfit every day? This wasn’t merely because he was a quirky scientist — there was a far more profound reasoning behind his fashion sense (or lack thereof). When you simplify your wardrobe, you free up […]
According to the Wall Street Journal, fear of public speaking is the number one phobia experienced by Americans today. Whether making a presentation at a convention or pitching your product to a single individual, public speaking can make even the most confident person nervous. However, the ability to speak clearly and passionately about your […]
There’s only 23 hours and 56 minutes in the day, so make the best possible use of them. Unfortunately, many people struggle with poor time management. They may exhaust all of their time and resources on one task, without setting aside enough time for other tasks. That’s why today we’re going to reveal some effective […]
You know you have things to do, either meeting a work deadline or finishing a personal project but your mind is stuck inside a pinball machine of thoughts and worries. Despite your efforts, you can’t stop the zinging thoughts from bouncing from one worrisome thing to the next. We’ve all been there so today we’ll […]
What do you want to be, do, and have? My mentor, Zig Ziglar, says, “You’ve got to be before you can do, and do before you can have.” In other words, having what you want is not as easy as snapping your fingers. First you have to do the work (e.g., learn how to play the […]
A lot of people don’t have purpose, direction or even motivation to move toward what they want, because they haven’t defined what “that” is. They don’t have goals. How many times have you heard someone say, “I don’t know,” when asked, “What do you want to do in life?” or, “Where do you see yourself […]
“If you don’t really know where you want to go, it makes no difference which road you take.” How many of us are walking down roads that are leading nowhere? How many of us have a feeling that our lives could be happier and more prosperous but our current circumstances are holding us back and making […]
In the Bible, Mark 12:31 states “Love your neighbor as yourself”. This is a beautiful verse and one that can help us have more love in our life but, I believe we interpret this all wrong. Some interpret this wisdom by beginning with their neighbor and excluding themselves in the phrase, “Love your neighbor.” Period. […]
Self-love and self-esteem are closely bonded to each other. When you don’t believe in your abilities, your value or your worth, your mind cannot respond in the opposite way. Your mind will go in the direction of your dominant thoughts. If you don’t feel good enough, you will likely live a life to confirm these beliefs. […]
If one of your friends or co-workers made a mistake, would you berate this person by calling her an idiot or making her feel worse? Of course you wouldn’t. You know she’s only human, and we all make mistakes. You’d likely tell her not to worry about it and console her to make her feel […]
If we allow our level of self-esteem to depend on circumstances, from one moment to the next it can soar upward or zoom down toward the lowest reading on our self-esteem barometer. Johnny just scored the winning goal in a soccer game, so he may have very high self-esteem after the game. However, Johnny’s self-esteem […]
