Sticks and Stones do break bones, but do names really hurt you?

By Daniel Cohen-Holistic Health-Counselor

Let’s face it; there are mean and selfish people out there all looking to get a rise out of us for their own satisfaction. We can’t hide from them, and we most definitely don’t want to run from them, NO! We must STAND TALL and remain CONFIDENT in our minds, actions and spirits not allowing for a moment for anyone’s words to get the best of us. We are STRONG, BEAUTIFUL people that must remember ONE THING and one thing only you are YOU, why let someone else tell you any different? We must all remember that nobody is perfect but we are all PERFECTLY IMPERFECT

“When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.”
― Donald Miller

How to find your TRUE Bestfriend in Life.

By Eileen Lichtenstein - Peak-Performance-Success Coach

We carry within us everything we need to know to make progress on our paths to self-realization. You are the one: The outer world serves as a mirror. All we need to do to see that we already have everything we need is to let go of our belief that we need to seek in order to find. 

 Most of us know that getting what we want only makes us happy for a moment... We do not have to travel to find it or imagine that it resides only in the body of another. In fact, what the best teachers will do is point out that this very precious elixir is something we already possess.

We can turn to ourselves when  we find ourselves on our path, not knowing which way to turn and wishing for guidance.   When we simply ask, let go, and wait patiently, an answer will come.


The more we practice this and trust this process, the less we will look outside ourselves for teachers and guides for we will have successfully become our own.  Trusting yourself, trusting your intuition paves the way for a life of fearlessness and success.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a magnificant tool to overcome fear about almost anything including fear of self trust which is often veiled as fear of trusting another (the mirror effect) , perhaps fear of intimacy.

Ten Tips that Build Confidence and Lead to Happiness

By Eileen Lichtenstein - Peak-Performance-Success Coach

  Recently I wrote the blog  Ten tips to create optimal productivity, happiness and confidence!  It got great press!: "Once again Motivational Whisperers blogs are picked up around the world and making front page news.” Congratulations Eileen~ This article so far is here:”.. Dawn Abraham, CEO Motivational Whisperers, Inc.:

To view the blog  and the comment, please go to:

Ten tips to create optimal productivity, happiness and confidence!

 Since then, I've been asked to expand the tips and to include a few new key word phrases:

 "the new normal",  "difficult times", "chaos"  and  a few statements about “Managing with Grace, Style and Integrity in Impossibly Difficult Times,” the title of a panel discussion at an upcoming "Power Breakfast"  organized by Long Island Business News.

 Here are the original "tips with added text and the inclusion of the above.

 1.  Listen to and follow your intuition.

During these trying and difficult times it's been shown that it's often necessary to reprioritize to get best outcomes.   Your intuition is most often correct when it comes to your life, work and relationships.  So even if it's an inkling feeling - a tiny revelation- take a moment to recognize that and then move forward.
 
2.  Stay within your integrity- no matter what.

No reason or person is important enough to ever stray.  If you have  tried this over the years, whether intentionally or not, then you know it always backfires.

 3.  Love and laugh!

 Both are proven stress reducers.  Happiness is contagious - many need more of that now while surrounded by global negativity, difficult times, chaos and immersed in "the new normal".

 4.  Forgive yourself  for mistakes; let go and move on. 

Self-forgiveness is essential in order to forgive anyone else.  Forgiveness is essential to let go of anger.  Letting go of anger is essential to be happier.  Especially in "the new normal" this is a no-brainer :).

5.  Take time each day  to relax, to dream.

We need our "down" time more than ever now, living in these difficult times.  Honor your method of relaxation and allow dreams to surface.  Be open to learning additional relaxation techniques and give them a try.. whatever works for you whenever you do it is OK as long as it has no negative effects on health or  overlaps with personal or work responsibilities.  If things are unmanageable - get help.

 6.  Be a great listener.

Listening is the most important part of communication.  If you do not understand what is being said, ask. Listen well and your response will  be more on target.

7.  Stay healthy by practicing extreme self-care. (diet, sleep, exercise, relaxation techniques).

Stress takes its toll on health and may exacerbate conditions already in existence.  Therefore we need to be more diligent in this realm in order to   "Thrive Amidst Chaos" (the title of a workshop I co-presented with two colleagues recently).

8.  Stop procrastinating and take action- move forward or drop the project.

We all procrastinate; acknowledgement of being in this mode is the firststep in moving forward.  All procrastination is fear based and manifests itself through negative statements such as: 

"not the right time now"
"why even bother...can happen (worst case scenario)."
 Some
times the act of "non-doing" is an indication that the idea needs to be tossed.

 What holds us back from accomplishing our goals is fear.

  • Fear of failure
  • Fear of being judged
  • Fear of success
  • Fear of being controlled

 These fears are often caused by deeply routed anxieties.  No matter- you can turn it all around with EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques: Meridian Tapping) combined with positive language-visualization reframing and Peak Performance Success Coaching   and the intention to do just that!

The following are a few common phrases/excuses people use when they are procrastinating: The task is:
“too boring”
“too time consuming”
“I just don’t feel like it”
“I just don’t want to”.

The Good news is that   EFT ( The Emotional Freedom Technique) is wonderfully successful in  reversing procrastination, as usually deeper emotional issues are involved.  It is based on the simple statement that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system . It involves tapping on meridian points while making  statements about the issue.         

Knowing that you are afraid will not magically remove fear or change behavior.  You can use The EFT Technique to eradicate the roadblocks of guilt and fear that keep you from moving forward. When you use EFT and stimulate the acupressure points (see chart) the level of serotonin in the brain rises and floods the amygdalia, the section of the brain involved with controlling emotion and fear, and the fear loop is disconnected.  Once the brain stops experiencing fear with the proper EFT tapping, set-up phrase (see below examples) and intuitive NLP language guidance from an experienced EFT Practitioner, which I am, you will find that your thoughts and behaviors transform effortlessly.

9.  Begin each day with a short meditation positive visualizations of successful outcomes of your goals.

 Oh! I am so much a believer in this!  Research has shown fantastic results.  It's all up to you - and your connection to a higher power/the universe.

10.  Believe in yourself and your goals; create affirmations and post them onto mirrors, in an accessible notebook and in the car.

I've witnessed amazing escalation in self esteem, happiness, productivity and success with the implementation of these tips for my clients.

Do you want to gain control and happiness in your life ?

By Eileen Lichtenstein - Peak-Performance-Success Coach
Holding on to anger and resentment and dwelling on the past affects your whole life. Besides making you feel miserable, lonely and unhappy it can wreck havoc on your health. You feel as if life is spinning around you, you can't get off and you have no control over what happens to you. You blame other people or situations for everything that is not right in your life. 
If you want to gain control and happiness in your life, let go of harmful emotions and expand your gratefulness.  It is crucial to learn how to
 
  • Release destructive anger
  • Let go of resentment
  • Forgive yourself and others
  • Break free from self-limiting beliefs
  • Find self-acceptance and self-love
  • Enhance your relationships with family, friends and co-workers
  • Gain confidence
  • Open your heart to allow peace and goodness flow

Do You Take the Time to Quiet Your Mind?

By Allison Moss-Women's Relationship & Empowerment Visionary

Solitude.jpg

 

 








Spending time alone with your own thoughts can be a SCARY proposition for many. Do you have trouble slowing down and settling in for a few moments at a time? Once you take the time to answer WHY you can't be comfortable with your own thoughts you will discover a revealing fact about you and how you feel about yourself.
 

Two of the biggest obstacles to tapping your inner guidance system are:


"Running out of Time."

 

"Being uncomfortable with your own thoughts or spending time alone."


The first is something you can create space and time to remedy, the second truly tells you where to begin on your journey to an empowered life.

 

Being busy all of the time depletes your energy reserves. It is vital to set aside a few minutes for YOU each day to renew your spirit and tap into your inner wisdom. Quieting your mind doesn't have to involve deep meditation or anything that you aren't comfortable with.


It can simply be taking the time to relax in the tub, go for a stroll or writing in your journal. Whatever you choose, know that it is a gift to yourself and to those that depend on you. Wearing yourself down with constant activity will take its toll over time and in the long run make it harder for you to care for those that you love.


If you aren't comfortable sitting still, ask yourself why? Do you feel as though there is something you "have to", "should be" or "need to" be doing? Those words rob you of personal power! ALLOW yourself to take time for you and CHOOSE to do the things that are necessary. This small shift in thinking is a powerful tool to a fulfilling life.
 

If you do not like to be alone with yourself or your thoughts it is time to discover why. Low self-esteem and self-confidence are two of the main factors in a person's feeling this way. What don't you like about you? Do you feel unworthy? Lonely?

Three Easy Ways to Achieve Balance

 

 

1. Write out three instances where you have received a compliment or praise. Keep these lists on hand and read them often. It will be inspiring to see the qualities that you do appreciate about yourself and rewarding to see what others have appreciated.

 

2. Create for yourself a positive affirmation. Ex: I am an amazing person; my light shines from within for all to see. Repeat your affirmation daily and at any time when negative thoughts about you begin so slip in. Each of these tools will begin to shift your energy to a better place, a higher vibration. As you do this, you will begin to attract positive people and experiences into your life.

 

3. Send 10 minutes a day, writing in your journal or simply repeating your affirmations. As you grow in confidence, you will recognize the value of quieting your mind and the inspiration that can be felt as a result.


As you answer these questions you are tapping into the root elements of your spiritual journey to empowerment. To create a positive shift in your self-esteem take a few moments to create a list of five things that you like about you! They can be ANYTHING! Your smile, your big toe, your ability to listen to others, anything that you truly love about yourself.

Simple shifts in attitude and routine can be empowering and rewarding! Recognize the value of introspection and solitude. With the stresses of everyday living, demands on your time and the people that depend on you, reserving a few moments to tap into your inner self and intuition will reward you with a renewed sense of self and energy!

You are worthy...You Can DO IT!

Incredible You!

By Allison Moss-Women's Relationship & Empowerment Visionary
imagesCAP4M0ZN.jpg


How do you feel about you? Do you LOVE yourself, your life and everything about you?

There is not another person like you in this world! Did you know you have unique gifts and talents that you were born with, that the world needs each and every day?

Many people may find this hard to believe. Throughout each and every day, stress, outside influences, disappointments and more can add up to a very low sense of self. When you experience these things it becomes harder and harder to tap into the essence of you and recognize how INCREDIBLE you are!

Self-esteem and self-confidence are a huge factor in how you approach each and every day. If you feel as though your opinions don’t count, you won’t speak up. Or if you feel that someone is prettier or better looking than you, you may not approach someone that you are attracted to. Don’t sell yourself short! Uniquely you is ALWAYS good enough!

How do you break out of the cycle of feeling unworthy and low self-confidence? Begin with this simple exercise. Make a list of five things that you truly LOVE about you. It is sometimes hard to come up with this list as it may feel false or unreal, but keep going and find a few things that are amazing about you. It may be your eyes, your ability to listen or even a special talent such as dancing! No matter what you put down on your list, make certain that you truly feel and believe these things! Next, post your list somewhere that you can see it often. Inside of your wallet or purse, in the front of your day planner or journal, anywhere that you will be reminded how amazing you are!

This simple exercise can create a shift in your mindset which will help you to focus on the qualities you love in yourself instead of focusing on the negatives. Over time, add to your list, change the things that you like most and continue to boost your self-confidence!

You are the only person that can be the best YOU! Share your gifts with the world and be INCREDIBLE!

Reframes for Self-Discipine

By Eileen Lichtenstein - Peak-Performance-Success Coach
Declare your choice and positive intentions by redirecting mind chatter and using empowering language.  Make self-discipline/self-regulation easier!


Here are examples of  reframes for self-discipline/self-regulation:

“I’m on a diet so I can’t have the ice cream in my fridge.” becomes “I can have the ice cream in the fridge, but I choose not to because I’m doing well on my diet and I know I’m going to feel better as I drop a few pounds.”

“I want to tell that guy what a jerk he is!” becomes “I can tell that guy what a jerk he is, but I choose not to because I know it’s not going to make a change in his behavior, just irritate him more.”

“I want to call my ex so badly but I shouldn’t.” becomes “I could call my ex, but I choose not to because I know it’ll continue this cycle of being in each other’s lives and wouldn’t be healthy for either of us.”

“I can’t drink any alcohol for the rest of my life.” becomes “I don’t know what the future will bring, but all I know is that today, I could drink and I choose not to.”
