Choices

In the movie, , Carl Allen (portrayed by Jim Carrey), is mired in his negative ways until the day he attends a self-help seminar that teaches the power of saying yes. The results are immediate—new job promotion, new romance, but true to Hollywood form, Carl discovers that too much of anything can be bad for you. The road to happiness is a little more complex than simply saying yes. Still, the concept that giving to others improves your health and happiness is not a screenwrit

As a bio-energetic practitioner, I’m always reminding my clients of life’s endless possibilities. The same goes for you! In order to achieve greatness, you must work diligently in cultivating your life in accordance with your values. Life-affirming...

As the Peak Performance Expert, I help people remove the  mental limitations that prevent them from achieving  greater success .  One of the main emotional blocks  I see among my clients and others , time and time again, is  this: a diminished  capacity for gratitude.  We, as a society,  seem to have forgotten what it means to  receive  with grace. To  experience and  express gratitude,  which is a  blessing in itself . In fact, we've replaced the practice of gratitude with a

Personal branding is a way of signaling to others what your unique identity, vision and values are. It’s an authentic revelation of all the things you have to offer the world. What happens when those values or aspirations change? What happens, and how do we take the next step in our personal or professional growth? That’s where rebranding comes in.  To rebrand is to realign ourselves and our goals by harnessing new, revitalized energy. We grant ourselves new possibilities, n

Letting go is easier said than done. We know intuitively that it's the best way to create and sustain peace in our lives, but a commitment to surrender can be challenging.  The rewards are great for those who take on that challenge, however. When you commit to surrendering to the givens of existence, you are essentially providing a space for the universe to work its magic. If you step out of the way, God   take control. But the remarkable irony is that He would have done it

Modern science is re-discovering what the ancients have always understood - that certain frequencies of light can alter the physical properties of our bodies, charging the energy in our cells and speeding up the process of healing. Researchers are investigating  frequency of light therapy  for its capacity to heal numerous physical and emotional ailments and disorders – everything from muscle pain and inflammation to thyroid and metabolic disorders, skin injuries to anxiety.

Our shadow, like our light, are the things we embrace, love and enjoy. It contains all the things we don’t like about ourselves. It is everything we don’t want people to find out about us, and everything we don’t want to see. Sometimes, our shadow is not so pretty to look at. We try to keep it buried deep inside our psyche. If left ignored, our shadow can find a way to come to the surface. It can destroy relationships as it shows itself like a faux reflection of others. Yet,

It can sometimes seem the world is pushing down and holding our emotions hostage. The constant stream of negative news fires up our outrage and keeps it burning. Anger is often portrayed as wild emotions, uncontrollable—something to avoid. It prohibits us from actively listening to others, thinking logically, and presenting our best self. In the heat of the moment, our reputations can be undermined by anger. Buddha said, “You’re not punished for your anger; you’re punished b

The desire for instant gratification is a part of the human condition. Quick fixes, such as pain relievers that have been in the news recently, mask the original problem without addressing it. The desire to have these problems go away immediately and the reliance on external gratifications systems are leading our country into an epidemic of addictions. When experiencing an injury, typically an individual will go to the doctor. Seeking help to resolve the pain caused by an in

When we first start out at a new job or opportunity, we are like a roaring fire. Our fire burned bright, drawing eyes and attention of others. You’ve seen that fire before. Over time the fire burns down, simmers and smolders. It’s still there, generating heat. Yet, it isn’t nearly as bright or eye-catching. It may have been tempered by time and regret. Regret is often portrayed as a negative emotion. It can; however, be a powerful motivator. Use it to reignite the dull flame

What usually comes to mind when we think about is the compulsive consumption of unhealthy substances like fatty food, cigarettes, alcohol and drugs. While many of us take pride in avoiding these harmful habits, we rarely think about our addictions that can have the same debilitating impact on our mood, our personal and professional relationships, and our physical health. Almost everyone I know has felt that obsessive urge, a persistent compulsion, to check our phones or lapt

The mind is everything. What you think you become.  –Buddha Have you ever felt stuck? Or like you’re moving in the wrong direction? Maybe you feel that way now. Like, for every two steps you take forward, you take three more backwards. You are definitely not alone in this. We have all at one point or another felt lost, or stuck, or like we’re moving in the wrong direction. But, why does this happen? And what can we do to change these feelings? If you look closely, you’ll no

Recently, I’ve talked about the  different ways your energy can emanate , particularly if you're in a leadership position. Today I’d like to discuss how masculine energy functions, and how it can work  for  and  against  you. Masculine energy can be a powerful force for good, a unique vibration that invigorates and enlivens everyone around you. However, some masculine energies can be misdirected, coaxed into servicing a winner-takes-all approach that is unsustainable in the

In this TED Talk from 2005, Barry Schwartz discusses some important points from his groundbreaking book The Paradox of Choice. The premise is that we’re wrong to believe that the maximization of choice is a crucial component of our ultimate freedom and overall wellbeing. Schwartz’ argument boils down to this:  More  choices aren’t necessarily better than  some  choices. In a world where everything from our food, electronics, health, relationships, careers, and even our iden

You don't always get a second chance at making a good first impression.  We’ve all heard that before. And that impression is formed in a very short amount of time. Seven seconds, to be exact. This sort of snap decision-making process is a prehistoric leftover from a time when quick situational judgments could mean the difference between life and death. And now the human brain is hardwired to make decisions in this manner. But, how long does it take to form a first impression?

Billionaire investor Ron Baron has predicted that a  long-term investment in Tesla Motors will prove to be one of the best financial decisions one can make.  While the fruits of his investments will be slow to grow, Baron believes firmly that Tesla  will  become one of the biggest companies in the world. In the long-run, an investment in one of the most innovative companies on the globe will reap enormous rewards in the future. Baron has seen the innovations first-hand. Ever

We are often told that our consciousness constructs our own reality, and that its up to us to make manifest our highest calling. But how can we  deconstruct  the walls or barriers that prevent us from achieving our true destiny? The answer comes from  Robert Lanza’s  prevailing theory on how the universe is created. That theory is called  biocentrism,  and it demonstrates how consciousness is what forms our universe, not the other way around. Up until now, the way we underst

When we are vulnerable, our emotions can culminate into a blocked negative energy that gets trapped in a metaphysical wall around our heart. That wall, which can wreak havoc on our self-fulfillment, is called a  heart wall . When we are emotionally injured, our energy gets stuck and we build an emotional fortress that we think will protect us from further injury. While this can be a very important coping mechanism in times when we desperately need it, a permanent heart wall

“To enjoy our life we have to pay attention to it…We need to foster sustainable performance to use our energy, time and resources in a more mindful and focused way rather than wasting them in stress. We need to be more self-determined in getting on with what we need to get on with at the right time. Mindfulness helps us enjoy our life more, to find more meaning in our life and to help protect us from stress, anxiety and depression.”  –Dr. Craig Hassed Do you know the differen

Happy New Year!  2016 is REALLY the best year yet and why? Because this is the year for manifesting all of our biggest DREAMS and DESIRES! I am going to tell you the truth about Manifesting that is the 'why to' and 'what to' rather the 'how to'. The HOW is what gets us stuck and unable to fulfill the dreams and desires we have set forth to manifest. Why to : When setting intentional objectives called manifestations the 'why to' is important and many forget this, which is wh
