Now is a great time to review your goals for the year and determine how well you are doing at accomplishing those things you wanted to get done this year. If you are like many people, you probably have a few goals that you haven’t made much progress toward achieving. You may even have some that you haven’t even started.

Five Keys To Happiness
April 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment
The keys to happiness are not a secret, they are a process. To be happier, you must practice every day. The following five keys to happiness, if practiced daily, will lead you to find greater joy, success and fulfillment.
Savor Every Moment
To be in the moment is to live in the moment. Too often we are thinking ahead or looking ahead to the next event or circumstance in our lives, not appreciating the “here and now.” When we savor every moment, we are savoring the happiness in our lives.
By sharing the positive aspects of your life with others gives you a great opportunity to savor the moment. When something good happens to you, go ahead and celebrate the event. Tell others what has happened and the significant impact it has had on you. Sometimes we do not allow ourselves the forum to “brag on ourselves” or spread the good news of our life.

How To Forgive
April 16, 2008 | Leave a Comment
The past cannot be undone. What you change is how you feel about it.
Make The Change Happen
How are you going to do it, my friend? You’re all done feeling wretched all the time, you know forgive does not mean forget, you are soooo ready, but you need a plan. Read on, my friend, and find out how to get the benefits of forgiveness for yourself. Right now.
Guilt and Hatred Are Killers
Ask any doctor. Stress is a killer. This is because your body and mind are a continuum. In other words, although they are not entirely the same, a great overlap exists that unites them. Relieve your mental stress and your body will be happier too. Nothing relieves mental stress like forgiveness. Guilt and hatred resolve nothing; they just sustain the negativity that continues to obstruct you from your goals. Forgiveness, on the other hand, undoes the stickiness that binds you to an unhappy past.

Control Anger By Changing Perspective

“Achieving tranquility is a matter of simply changing perspectives…” Raeleen D’Agostino Mautner
How often have you experienced one of the following?
* Things seem to be going okay and then something happens that completely changes how you’re feeling and throws your life into some level of chaos or upset; or,
* You’re in a relatively good mood until something occurs or someone says something that instantly annoys or angers you and the good mood flies out the window.
Often it may seem that you’re stuck in a pattern where it only takes seconds for you to go from happy and peaceful to angry and stressed because of some event, whether it’s something that happens or some way that another person acts toward you.

Standing At The Crossroads Of Life - Commit To A Path, Travel Light, And Remember To Breathe
April 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Is there a crossroads moment in everyone’s life- A fork in the proverbial road? A Mercury reader shared this question with me last week, and the profound significance of his words resonated deeply within me. For a long time I stood frozen at life’s metaphorical crossroads, paralyzed by ambivalence as I struggled to hear my intuitive voice above the clatter of fear and trepidation.
It seems to grow increasingly difficult with age, to release the binding grips of fear. Life has a way of interfering with the idealistic dreams and zealous plans of youth. The years pass by so rapidly; perhaps it is only in the twilight of our lives that we are able to reflect back on the vestiges of the paths we have chosen and fully grasp the magnitude of our own power in shaping our destiny.
