Have you ever found yourself in an uncomfortable situation where another person’s emotions were getting out of control – potentially violent towards you? What likely started out as an innocent, or even a minor conflicting incident quickly turned into a volcano about to erupt. Even though you were able to keep your own emotions in check, the other person just seems to be sitting on a keg of dynamite, apparently about to explode at any moment. Just to be clear here I’m not talking about some salesperson that went to a training class where the guru told them you need to be aggressive in order to get the sale. I’m talking about a person who has it in for you personally at that point in time! What the heck can you do to prevent this from escalating into a major verbal, even potential physical attack on you?

If you’ve ever watched the gut wrenching rejection of a young animal by its Mother or from its pack or herd because you know it chances of survival are slim, then you know the loneliness the animal must feel. While this is the stark reality of the animal kingdom to ensure survival of the fittest nonetheless when it comes to humans our expectation is that no child or kid is excluded. After all, it’s what separates us from the majority of the animal world, and is inherent in our desire to take care of each other. And for the most part we do. But we are vulnerable growing-up and frankly kids and teenagers can behave badly towards each other, especially when it comes to social interactions and acceptance. Read more…

There are many ‘self-inventory’ quizzes in pop magazines that ask, “Do you truly love yourself?” What the heck does this question even mean? Obviously they’re not talking about a narcissistic trait but the question does raise boundaries about what is meant by loving oneself? Personally, I think the better question to ask in this vein is “Are you accepting of yourself?” This suggests levels of self-compassion towards oneself which is a more accurate indicator of how you feel about yourself. Here’s more…

In my role as a hypnotist words continue to play an important aspect in my life as they help other people overcome challenges or be a better self. The sentences I form using carefully chosen words now help to heal or aid change in others. So words are now important to me in the work I do. There is only one thing more powerful than the spoken word heard by others… and those are the words you speak to yourself. What words do you use to describe or talk about yourself? What words are you using to create your realities? Remember, thoughts eventually become things, spoken words are thoughts. Are you creating your life wisely?

Are you an individual who feels stuck in life, never moving forward, or regretting ‘things’ don’t seem to be turning out the way you wish or expected they would? Do you know what the one constant in your life is in your continual experiences, situations, potential changes and dealing with others? YOU! No matter where you go in life, you take YOU with you. No matter when or where you are in your life, you carry around your personal beliefs, whether they are positive and productive, or negative and limiting.
Where your thoughts go, that’s where your energy will flow. Guess what? If you limit yourself in your thinking and beliefs, your energy flow is going to hit a dead end. Read more…
While I’m writing this towards the end of a year the topic of goals is as relevant anytime of the year. However for many, a new year signals for a vast number of people – resolutions. What’s a resolution? It’s for all intents and purposes a goal. What’s a goal? It’s the end result, aim or ultimate desire of an individual’s efforts and ambitions. Basically, it’s all about achieving something you deem as important to accomplish, and then set out to accomplish it. Everyone has goals of some sorts, some bigger, or more important than others. Depending on the goal and the individual, the goal has a specific meaning, sometimes with the main ‘goal’ of just being achieved for the purpose of achieving it! Read more…

All of the physical and even some non-physical traits such as temperament and mental health, were formed in you before you were even born. What’s really interesting about DNA is that no two people have the same DNA. That’s correct, you’re an original, wonderfully made like no other of the 7 billion people living on the face of this earth, and they’ll never be another person like you. This is your genetic blueprint. Individuals also possess mental/cognitive blueprints as well based on how they think, feel and act which eventually lead to their behaviors. Cognitive is a fancy word used to encompass all that goes into how we individually think, understand, reason, learn and remember knowledge and information. The fact is two people will process the same information differently and arrive at different conclusions influenced by their mental blueprints. Ready to dive in and discover more…
