I know that when I’m not feeling particularly confident in one area of my life, the other areas begin to suffer too. When my job becomes stressful and tiresome, for example, so do my relationships and personal health. However, I don’t think I’m alone. Many of my friends tell me they also feel a connection between self-confidence and their personal level of happiness. After all, we all want to feel good about ourselves. We want to realize... 

Do you use a to-do list? Most of us have some kind of running list of tasks which we want to get done (even if we keep this list in our heads). And I expect that at some point, like me, you’ll have had the experience of creating an extremely ambitious to-do list … only to end up completing just a fraction of the tasks on…  Read More →

I believe that in each man there is a prince and a king. In each woman there is a princess and a queen. Each of them has the ability to obtain the keys to his or her personal kingdom. However, somewhere along the way, society classified us and we got it in our heads that the keys to the kingdom are reserved for a special …  Read More →

Albert Einstein has long been considered a genius by the masses. He was a theoretical physicist, philosopher, author, and is perhaps the most influential scientists to ever live. Einstein has made great contributions to the scientific world, including the theory of relativity, the founding of relativistic cosmology, the prediction of the deflection of light by gravity, the quantum theory of atomic motion in solids, the zero-point energy concept,... 

“What is the meaning of life?” Ha, gotcha! That is just one of many, many questions that have nothing whatsoever to do with this article. Now how about these questions: Why does this always happen to me? Why do I always screw up? What’s wrong with me? We’ll look at how such questions literally poison your mind. And then we’ll look at how to flush out that poison and replace it with golden elixir of awesomeness,... 

It feels good when a goal is achieved. However, the commitment and patience it takes to stick with a goal and then see it all the way to the end is not trivial. It takes courage, faith and a little goal setting know-how to keep the good feelings coming. Achieving your goals can provide the energy and the confidence needed to continue setting more goals. Goals help you see where you are today and where you want to be in the future. Goals are... 

I’m sure you’ve been there: in the middle of some endless meeting you promised to send an email or make a call or check some facts. By the time you returned to your desk, your main concern was “what am I having for lunch?” – and the details of the meeting had already become fuzzy. Then at the next meeting, someone asked, “So, did you make that phone call?” Whoops. Or perhaps you’re not the one dropping the ball. Maybe you’re... 

Since my move to Spain, I’ve realized how freeing it can be to live with few possessions. Before I moved here I lived in Sweden. I did live a simple life in Sweden, but now it’s even simpler, and it feels good. In Spain I rent a fully furnished apartment, which allows me to basically only own a laptop, clothes and a few other items. My happiness has greatly improved from consuming less and realizing that I do not need a lot of stuff to be... 

What did you achieve last year? What progress did you make towards your goals? Those are questions that, a few years ago, I’d have had trouble answering. Perhaps I could point to some money saved up, or to the next step of a qualification earned, but it was hard to see whether I’d really made much progress. Often, I’d feel bad that I hadn’t achieved more – even when I’d actually done …  Read More →

We all know that water is good for us, but often the reasons are a little fuzzy. And even if we know why we should drink water, it’s not a habit that many people form. But there are some very powerful reasons to drink lots of water every day, and forming the habit isn’t hard, with a little focus. The thing about it is…  Read More →

Everyone knows that anger is a destructive emotion that causes all kinds of harm, to ourselves, to other people, and the world at large. Yet despite our knowledge that anger is unhealthy, and despite our best efforts to get over it, sometimes we get stuck in an angry rut, and we can’t seem to let it go. The good news here is that anger is a powerful energetic force, and it contains tremendous intelligence. Normally we think anger is just...

Did you notice how tons of blogs and news sites were totally full of weight loss messages and ads during the month of January? I mean, you could not turn to any TV channel or surf any Web pages without being reminded that ” you NEED to lose weight and get rid of that belly fat ”. Most people heard that message loud and clear and faced with the perennial obligation to come up with at least one resolution for the new year, they lined up... 

What is an Elevator Pitch? This is the 30-60 second business description of what you do and why someone should work with you. It’s called an “Elevator Pitch” because it describes the challenge: “How would you explain your business and make a sale if fate placed you in an elevator with your dream prospect and you only had the time it takes to get from the top of the building to the bottom?” This article will explain... 

Have you ever said “Yeah, I’ll do that” – and then completely failed to? I bet you have, and I’d also bet that you felt kinda bad about it. Whether it was doing the dishes or visiting a sick relative, getting back to someone by email or finishing that report by Friday, saying that you’ll do something and then not doing will knock your reputation in the eyes of those around you. There are all sorts of reasons why we sometimes fail...
