Ignite Your Passion: Four Simple Steps to Transform Your Life
I find it fascinating to listen when people are really talking about something about which they feel passionately. Their voice becomes stronger. They speak more rapidly. Sometimes they speak louder. Their voice quality changes in a way that moves the words they are saying from their mouth, into their throat, and then to their chest. My impression is always that the words are now coming from their heart. The transformation is pretty remarkable. Ordinary conversations turn into passionate speeches. The difference is that their passion has been ignited.

Get Rid Of "Emotional Clutter": Stockpiling Negative Emotions Blocks Your Happiness
Emotions are normal. They aren't right or wrong, they just ARE. We feel them in response to things that happen to us. The type of emotion we feel depends on the kind of experience we've had. The problem with emotions is that often we carry around old emotions from past experiences. We're ...

Don't Let "Emotional Clutter" Block Your Happiness
Most of us are familiar with physical clutter. Physical clutter consists of all those things we hang onto which we no longer need, no longer want, and which lead to confusion or disorder in our physical environment. I use the term "emotional clutter" (or sometimes "mental clutter") to refer to those emotions, memories and remnants that we hang on to from our past experiences; those things that end up getting in our way and causing disorder in our lives.

Live Your Passion By Taking Advantage of Your Opportunities
I frequently work with people who want greater meaning in their lives. They want their lives to count.

This has lead me to think about the importance of connecting with your passion, and taking advantage of opportunities that will help you live fully.

The 4 Questions You Must Ask Yourself to Know if You Are Ready to Change
If you've been plagued by a problem in your life, especially if you've had that problem for a long time, you might assume that you'd be eager to get rid of it. You would think so, but actually, when you get right down to it, the contrary is often more true. People get used to having their problem, even though it is uncomfortable and they’d like to get rid of it. You see, they may KNOW how to be depressed, or poor, or sick. Feeling those feelings, although uncomfortable, are familiar. Contemplating something else is a bit scary.

Have a Stress-Less Holiday
For some people, the holiday season is very stressful. People stress over not having enough time to prepare the way they'd like or not having enough money to buy the presents they'd like. Social demands and expectations family members may have contribute to the stress of the season. Not only do people end up in debt, they may end up frustrated, angry or depressed because of the stresses the holidays bring. The stresses of the holiday season often take their toll on us in three areas: Time/Energy; Financial and Emotional. Time/Energy refers to the demands upon your time and energy.

The Key to Success May Be to Find the Right Resources
I have long been a believe in the importance of having the right resources. That's why I named my business the Inner Resource Center. I have long believed that you can accomplish anything if you have the right tools. In fact, with the right resources, you can transform your life. And you can do it easily and nearly effortlessly. Each of us needs to find the resources that are right for us and right for the task at hand. Sometimes we need information; sometimes we need guidance from a specialist. Sometimes we need only to tap into the resources inside of us.

Get Unstuck by Changing Your Perspective
We have all had the experience of feeling "stuck" at some time or another in our lives or in our careers. No matter what we try to do, nothing seems to work. We spin our wheels and expend our energy, but don't seem to get where we want to go. When we feel stuck, we are often seeing our situation from a particular perspective. Our focus is on our specific planned approach, a particular outcome we want to achieve, and/or how we want others in the equation to behave. When things do not go as planned, it can be frustrating.

Trust in a Relationship – In Spite of Popular Belief, the Key is to Be Authentic
More and more lately I hear people talking about being "authentic." I'm not sure if it has become a buzz word, or if people are really craving honesty and the kind of connection that can come when two people are authentic with each other. I suspect that many people have become aware of the roles they play, the masks they wear. They worry that if they were really themselves, friends or coworkers wouldn't approve of them. They pretend to be some way that they think will be acceptable.

Emotional Clutter
If you are blocking the path to your dreams with “emotional clutter,” you are delaying your chance to be HAPPY. Emotional clutter, like physical clutter, drains your energy and stops you from seeing the resources you have in front of you. It gets in the way of your SUCCESS. And your HAPPINESS.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Linda Pucci
I believe that all people carry within themselves the resources to solve their life's challenges. They just don't know how to access them. I help them find those resources, then stand back as they change their lives.
The core of what I do that's different from others lies in my ability to guide my clients to stretch to bigger and better--beyond ordinary to magnificent--in a short period of time.
