How to Let Go of Outdated Beliefs
Why do we latch on to certain beliefs and not others? One reason is that we are repeating behavior learned in childhood. Our belief systems are a cycle and if we don’t do anything to transform them, we will continue to hang on to old beliefs and behaviors, repeating them over and over. Through my experience I have learned that it is easier for people to change what they see as a negative belief if they know where it comes from. Having a true understanding can help you get to

Help! I'm Stressed and Anxious
Stress and anxiety often go hand in hand, especially in our stressful, fast-paced culture. Sometimes it feels like everything -- jobs, home, relationships, money - is compounding to cause greater amounts of stress. When stress becomes a problem our fears and worries are heightened to the point where the body starts to react. Stress increases heart rate and respiration, makes us feel anxious, nervous, and fearful, and it can cause conditions that are detrimental to us, both m

How to Receive a Healthy Dose of Faith
If you open yourself to receive, the Universe will provide you with everything that you need. This includes faith. As I say in my book Just Give Your Head a Shake: “I knew by the time I was a teenager that I had an innate ability to analyze human behavior. I could tell when people were not being ‘real’ in spite of how they projected themselves to the world. But I didn’t know what to do with it until I opened my mind to receive direction from the Universe.” Here are some tips

Fear vs. Faith: Which One Drives You?
No matter what you believe in, your beliefs influence what happens in your life. This includes everything from your chosen career to what you’ll accept in terms of relationships and the opportunities that flow your way. If you have too many beliefs that are fear-based, it’s hard to have faith and fully engage in life. In fact, there is a saying that goes “the opposite of fear is faith.” If you are constantly fearful, even if the fear is only imagined, it’s hard to make choic

Practicing the Art of Giving Back
This act of giving to another person or charity can create a great deal of positive energy flowing into your life. It has been noted that the giver (and not the receiver) actually gets greater amounts of positive energy, which in turn, amplifies happiness and optimism. That means that giving truly is better than receiving! Of course, you can only give what you already possess, but those things like your time, attention, thanks, and love are some of the most powerful and auth

The 5 Stages of Change for Money and Success
Too often, people view money and success as out of reach, but these things are obtainable if you are willing to set a goal and move through the 5 stages of change. However, some people see their goal as impossible or don't take action to go after it. Others might self-sabotage or procrastinate. Sometimes it is simply easier to make excuses and stay where you are than it is to change. The good news is all these things are normal and actually a part of the change process. You m

Surprising Tips About Living a Balanced Life
Many people wish they had more balance in life, but what “balanced” really means might come as a surprise. It’s not being a super woman (or man) or getting everything crossed out on your to-do list right now. Balance is about making choices and being willing to change behavior patterns. Balance isn’t instant, but anyone can be more balanced with a little effort. Here are some tips: Balance takes time. Sometimes, when busy people try to create a new habit, they go full force

The Keys to Finding Your Purpose, Pt. 2
One of the cornerstones of finding your purpose is that you feel good inside. When you are in alignment with the Universe itself, it’s like you’re on the red carpet with life. There are still bumps along the way, but mostly the path is filled with smiles and smooth sailing. Too often, however, we think that we need to keep feeling bad—and that somehow feeling bad is necessary or “something we have to go through”—to get where we want to go. This isn’t true, unless you put mor

The Keys to Finding Your Purpose, Pt. 1
What is your life’s purpose? A lot of people struggle with this question while trying to find the career and circumstances that fit. For some, finding purpose is an ongoing challenge, especially with the pressures of every day life and making a good living; others seem to know from the start what they want. Many people find purpose in careers, while others find it through home life or a combination of the two. Some people end up feeling they have a particular purpose due to

Align Yourself with the Law of Attraction
Most of us have heard about the Law of Attraction thanks to the movie The Secret. It is the idea that everything in your life is attracted to you based on what you are thinking. Basically, “like attracts like.” It’s also the idea that whatever you give a lot of attention to will manifest in your life. Many people have done vision boards and made wish lists thanks to the concept, but did you know that it is possible to take this to a deeper level? Where the idea of positive t

Are You Settling for Less Than You Deserve?
Many people insist they have a healthy sense of self-esteem, but then they do things that prove otherwise. They might make poor decisions, spend time with people who treat them badly, or put everyone else first and themselves last. These choices often come from low self-worth that creates unhealthy and dysfunctional beliefs. On page 47 of my book, I explain: “Self-esteem is defined as the way in which you think of yourself; your own value and abilities. It is quite often ti

The Most Powerful Parts of Communication
When most people think about communication, it’s about the words and phrases that are spoken in a conversation. However, another important part of communication is the role of body language and gut feelings. In fact, over 80% of what you say to others is through facial expressions alone. Amazingly, these unconscious parts of communication are the most powerful. Your gut feeling or intuition tells you when something doesn’t match between what a person says and how they make y
