5 Secrets of Goal Setting For Success
The following tips aren’t really secrets. Most of them are simple, common sense things that should be done in order to be successful in accomplishing our goals. What makes these following tips a secret is that they are rarely a part of an action plan for our goals. “A goals’ action plan?” “What’s that?” “Are you saying that when I declare a resolution/goal, I have to make an action plan to accomplish the goal?” “Yes!” “So, when I decide on a goal, I can’t go about my life as usual without implement some type of action plan to achieve that goal?” The answer is simply, “No!” Let’s be honest, when…

CBT-Mind Your Thoughts
Are you living the life you dreamed? At least one time during our childhood we have utter these words: When I grow up, I want to be….. or When I grow up, I am going to do this… These affirmations could have been in the form of an essay we read to our classmates in elementary school or an essay for a college application.

Find Your Inner Hero
The Rules Of Self-Understanding Alright, I get that a lot of us don’t like to discuss “touchy-feely” topics. Some of us try to avoid talking about who we are and how we feel because it makes us feel vulnerable. And most of us are adamant that we “know” who we are and don’t need anybody or any “stinky” assessment to tell us so. But what we really want to say is that “I don’t want any parts of self-understanding because I AM AFRAID!” I am fearful for what I may discover about myself. It may not be a good look. I get that. Let’s be brutally honest. First, most of…

Show Your Gratitude With The Written Word
You’re tired and feeling a little “blah.” You are thinking about all the things you must get done before calling it a day. You decided to stop by the mailbox-something you don’t do every day because more than likely, it’s filled with a bunch of junk mail.
