Marriage Problems - 5 Reasons Your Marriage Probably Can't Be Saved
[Relationships:Marriage] Marriage problems are much more common than happy marriages. In fact, you aren't likely to find even a happy marriage that doesn't have its share of difficulties. A happy marriage is possible; but lasting happiness is, for most people, a frustrating myth - the proverbial magic unicorn. Roughly half of all marriages end in divorce; while the other half are a mixture of miserable arrangements, unpleasant unions, outright battlefields, a few amicable partnerships and, yes, an occasional unicorn.

Prayer and Religion - Prayer Isn't a Religious Thing, It's Thought
[News-and-Society:Religion] Have you ever really thought about prayer - what it is, or why and how it might work? Most people don't; they simply live their lives with the same simple understanding they were given as children: "Prayer is when you talk to God." Prayer isn't a religious thing, it is thought; and the way you think will determine the life you live - no matter what religion you subscribe to. "As you think, so it is done to you."

Secrets to Success - 5-Steps to Success You Need to Understand
[Self-Improvement:Success] Success always follows the same path. If you understand the steps along this path, you can succeed at anything. Check out these 5-Steps To Success; you may be surprised at how simple success can seem if you simply follow these steps and do what you feel led to do.

Fear of Flying - Using EFT to Overcome Flying Fears
[Health-and-Fitness:Emotional-Freedom-Technique] Fear of flying is one of the most common fears in the United States. Close to 3-billion people travel by air each year and a significant number of them are afraid of some aspect of flying. If you're afraid of flying, you are not alone.

Marital Problems - 4 Keys to Making Marriage Work
[Relationships:Marriage] Relationship difficulties, marital problems and unhappiness are simply facts of life for most people. The unfortunate truth is that most marriages typically don't work out for the people involved. If you want to make your marriage work, you need to consciously and consistently put energy into it and, in order to do that, you'll need: incentive; commitment; a committed partner; and a plan.

Don't Worry, Be Happy - Rewrite the Way You Think and Feel
[Self-Improvement:Happiness] You don't have to be unhappy. Happiness is truly a choice; it is a choice of thoughts and perceptions. If you think happy thoughts, you will be happy. If you think sad thoughts, you will be sad. If you think angry thoughts, you will be angry.

Prayer Works For Everyone - The Secret is in Learning How to Think
[News-and-Society:Religion] It may seem like an odd thing to say; but prayer truly does work for everyone. This isn't to say that everyone is using this innate faculty to their benefit, or to its fullest potential; but all thoughts truly do become manifest in one way or another - at some point in time. The secret to using prayer effectively in your own life lies in fully understanding the nature of prayer; and, to do that, you must consider the fact that all of us - good, bad, Christian, Jew, Muslim, etc - have access to prayer and it isn't only the "good" people who are able to use their thoughts to create their futures.

How to Stay Happily Married - 5 Ways to Keep the Fire Burning
[Relationships:Marriage] As a firefighter, I've spent years thinking about how to put fires out. But, as a married firefighter, I spend just as much time thinking about how to keep the fire burning in my relationship. Stress takes a toll on every marriage; and public safety marriages - with inordinately high levels of stress - offer an excellent proving ground for advanced studies in marital harmony. Here are five fire-proof methods for keeping your relationship hot and healthy in even the most difficult conditions.

Loving Life is the Secret to Having a Life You Love
[Self-Improvement:Positive-Attitude] If you want to live a life you love, you've first got to learn to love the life you've got. Many people fear that by loving the life they have, they will somehow be settling for that life or locking themselves into never having anything better or different. If you're waiting for your life to change before you start loving it, I'm afraid you may have quite a wait.

Secrets of Prayer - Making Prayer Work For You
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] If you're like me, then there are things in life that you'd like to change. In fact, most people spend their lives trying to change things in one way or another. Throughout history, some people have intuited their ability to use their own thought processes to engage a creative agency and influence changes. Many of these same people have contemplated and perfected the use of their thoughts - though it is not the easiest thing for human beings to master. Though there are many names for this innate human ability, many people simply call it, "prayer."

A Positive Focus - Accentuate the Positive, Eliminate the Negative
[Self-Improvement:Happiness] If you want to change your life, you aren't alone. Most people are less than content with at least one part of their lives. Most people would change something about their lives if they could -- or if they knew how. The thing all of these people have in common is they know "what they don't want." The good news is that your life -- and everyone else's -- is continually changing; the bad news is that, if you only focus on the parts of your life you don't want, you'll keep getting more of the same.

Recession-Proof Your Relationships - Don't Worry - Be Happy!
[Relationships:Enhancement] There's no such thing as "hard times." There's just time; and we can make the best of it, or the worst of it. Nobody can predict or control what happens in the future; but we can all control how we respond to future events. People tend to dramatize or over-emphasize the events, circumstances, conditions, and situations they encounter in life; and, when we become attached to those things, or when we identify ourselves by the things that happen around us, we create stress and negative emotions.

Weight Loss Realities - Lose Weight Eating Donuts? Why Not?
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] What's more ridiculous, the idea that the health care profession completely understands the human body and has still created a situation where over two-thirds of the U.S. population is overweight, or the idea that maybe they're wrong about their "obvious" assumptions about food, fat, and weight-loss? If you understand a problem, and are taking the proper steps to resolve it, the problem would go away.

Does Eating Fat Really Make You Fat? Absolutely Not
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] One of the athletes my wife works with is a Gold-medal equestrienne who has ridden high-performance horses for years. Recently, after reading a story about horses running "cooler" with more fat in their diet, she conducted an experiment with two of her world-class horses - brothers with very similar physical characteristics. The results were interesting, to say the least; but one thing was certain - a high-fat diet does not cause weight-gain.

The "Dunkin' Donuts" Diet - Can You Really Lose Weight Eating Donuts?
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] It may seem completely unbelievable; but the truth is: Food does not make you fat. Of course we've all been told that eating fat makes you fat, or eating sugar makes you fat; but this simply isn't true - and, at some level, you already know this to be the case. I've actually proposed a book called, "The Dunkin' Donuts Diet," in which I outline many of the points I've been talking about for a number of years - including the fact that I lost 55-pounds without giving up one of my favorite treats: Dunkin' Donuts. But I'll give you the secrets right now - in condensed form.

Reaching Your Goals - Why New Year's Resolutions Fall by the Wayside
[Self-Improvement:Goal-Setting] New Year's resolutions are more of a joke these days than anything else. They're certainly the cause for many jokes, as well as being the cause for much consternation and frustration. Setting goals and then forgetting about them, giving up on them, or falling short of them seems to be much more common than making a resolution and then sticking with it. But why is reaching a goal so difficult? Why do so many people drop their New Year's resolutions almost as quickly as they make them? The reason has much less to do with the goals themselves as it does with the way you spend your time, the way your mind works - and the way you are using it.

Law of Attraction - What Are You Attracting?
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] If you think your life sucks, consider your overall attitude on a day-to-day basis. Do you think the people in your life see you as a miserable person who thinks and acts like their life sucks? If you're projecting that kind of energy, chances are that you're life experience is reflecting that kind of experience right back to you. I mean, c'mon, would you really want to be around you every day if you had a choice? If not, what makes you think others do, or that you're ever going to attract people, opportunities, or the better circumstances these things could bring with them?

Law of Attraction - 4 Things You Need to Know to Make Attraction Work For You
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] The Law of Attraction is not as complicated as it may seem; it's actually working for you right now -- automatically. You are receiving some version of reality each and every moment of your existence; and that reality is the product of the things that came before it. You don't have to be able to wrap your mind around the science or philosophy of this concept to make the Law of Attraction work for you; but you do need to know these four-simple things:

Attracting True Prosperity With the Law of Attraction
[Self-Improvement:Abundance-Prosperity] One of the things that bring people's attention to the Law of Attraction is the apparent promise of quick riches with no effort. Everyone, it seems, wants to get rich quick; and the Law of Attraction - as it is commonly presented by teachers these days - seems to promise just that: An instant cure-all to financial, relationship, and health problems without having to really "do" anything. This misrepresentation leads to a lot of disillusioned souls that quickly give-up on their dreams because of the predictable lack of tangible results this approach usually produces. But the truth is that the Law of Attraction is the only way anyone ever experiences prosperity - or poverty.

Law of Attraction - Does it Really Work?
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] The Law of Attraction has received lots of attention lately from people who are fascinated with the idea that they could actually take a more active role in creating their life conditions, as well as from those who think it's all a big scam. I can tell you from personal experience that, regardless of what you choose to call it, the natural forces people commonly refer to as, "The Law of Attraction," are constantly at work in every part of the Universe. The disagreements about whether or not the Law of Attraction actually works are really more about a choice of terminology and definitions - and a lack of awareness and focused thought that is common among skeptical people, or people filled with doubt. The Law of Attraction is not a "tool" that can work or not work; it is simply a way of explaining natural forces so that you and me can apply our thoughts in a more conscious, constructive and creative way.

5 Common Reasons For Marital Conflict - Understanding and Resolving Marital Stress
[Relationships:Conflict] In the United States, over half of all marriages end in divorce; and many more marriages are truly miserable unions - with constant bickering and fighting when spouses aren't simply avoiding each other altogether. So what's the deal? Why can't we all just get along? The real causes for marital conflict are much simpler than you might think; and, when you understand them, you've got a chance of creating a more harmonious relationship. The real reason for marital conflict is stress - plain and simple.

Mind-Body Health - Germs Don't Make You Sick - "Terrain is Everything"
[Health-and-Fitness:Mind-Body-Spirit] I do a lot of speaking and writing on the subject of natural health and medicine. Why? Because I care about humanity; and I'm appalled at the way my fellow-humans are treated like herd-animals by the medical establishment. Yet, my message often seems to fall on deaf ears. I believe there are two-reasons for this.

How Can I Enhance My Relationship? 5 Tips For Improving Your Relationship
[Relationships:Enhancement] If you are in a serious relationship, chances are that you either want to improve it - or desperately need to fix it. Most marriages in the U.S. end in divorce; and of those that don't are usually the source of bad jokes about nagging wives or lazy, cheating husbands - all of which are indicators of unhappiness, stress, frustration, and discontent. If you want or need to improve your relationship, you certainly aren't alone; and if you don't want to, you simply have never been taught about the value, power, and joy of a strong, harmonious union. If you're one of the smart ones who know the value of investing time, attention, and energy in your partner, here's a list of 5-tips for improving your relationship:

Relationship Issues on Mike and Juliet in the Morning - Why Do Men Do the Things They Do?
[Relationships:Enhancement] Relationship enhancement and awareness was a recent topic on the Mike and Juliet in the Morning Show; where relationship experts were asked to weigh-in on such questions as: "Is cheating normal in a committed relationship?" and, "Is flirting okay?" Other relationship issues, such as, "Why do traits and behaviors that were once considered 'adorable' become repulsive?" Understanding the answers to these questions can truly help you build a better and stronger relationship - and help you avoid the common pitfalls that cause most relationships to end in disaster.

Enhance Your Relationship by Talking About Your Sex Life With Your Partner - Not Your Friends
[Relationships:Enhancement] If you want to enhance your relationship, you might want to consider how you talk about your sex life -and to whom you talk about it. Talking about your sex life with your partner - in an open, loving, and non-judgmental way - can dramatically improve your relationship; but talking about it with friends can often be an indicator of serious problems - or even the beginning of the end of the relationship. If you have problems with your sex life, solve them with your partner; if you don't, then talking about you and your partner's personal life with your friends is a good way to cause one.

Relationship Enhancement Starts With Awareness - Why Do My Partner's Habits Irritate Me So Much?
[Relationships:Enhancement] When people begin a romantic relationship, or fall in love, they are responding to the feelings created by chemicals that won't always be there - much like the rush a drug addict gets that makes them keep reaching for their "fix." This attraction, like gravity, is non-specific; if you've been paying attention, you've noticed it can happen to anyone. And when it does, it becomes easy to overlook certain personality traits, habits, and character "flaws" that are bound to cause problems after the newness of the relationship has passed, or, as they say, after "the honeymoon is over."

Using the Law of Attraction During Financial Crises - Does it Really Work?
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Anytime you turn on the television you are going to get one of two things: Bad news, or bad programming. By "bad," I'm not implying a value judgment; I'm simply saying that the stuff you see on television probably isn't designed to move you in the direction of your dreams, goals, or aspirations. In fact, by bombarding yourself with all that "bad" news about the economy, you may very well be using the Law of Attraction quite effectively - against yourself! The Law of Attraction works at different speeds, and in different ways, for different people; because different people have different ways of thinking, feeling, believing, and acting. But the Law of Attraction is a natural law; it doesn't care what you think about, or how you think about it - it just does to you "according to your beliefs."

Learning to Create the Life of Your Dreams With - BEing the Titus Concept, by Al Diaz
[Book-Reviews:Spirituality-Religion] The world is full of self-help books that tell us we need help, and where we've messed-up our lives, and what we should do to fix them; but "BEing The Titus Concept," by Al Diaz, isn't another one of those. Having read hundreds of self-help and personal development books, I came to the conclusion that life is supposed to be simple; and so are the fixes to common, everyday problems. In fact, I didn't really realize exactly how right I was, or exactly how simple life could be, until I finished reading, "BEing The Titus Concept!"

Enhance Any Relationship - Redefine, Redesign, and Realign Your Relationship
[Relationships:Enhancement] Building a relationship, or working to improve a relationship, are important tasks - much more important to your body, mind, and spirit, than watching television, playing video games, surfing the Internet, text messaging, or doing most of the leisure activities people tend to spend the majority of their lives doing these days. Sure, everyone wants a better relationship; unfortunately, without a clearly defined goal, or some sort of system or plan to help you achieve your goal, the task is to daunting for most people to really ever start.

5 Incentives For Improving Your Relationship - Why Would I Want to Work on My Marriage?
[Relationships:Enhancement] It's nice to talk about being sweet to each other and living happily ever after; but it's not always realistic because it's not always that easy. It's easy to get jealous when you see someone else's "prefect relationship;" but don't make the mistake of assuming that their relationship just "magically" happened to them, or that it was always easy for them.

Enhance Your Relationship by Flirting With Your Wife - 10 Tips to "Bring Back That Lovin' Feelin'"
[Relationships:Enhancement] If you feel like "you've lost that lovin' feelin'" in your relationship, try some of these tips for flirting with your wife to make her feel appreciated and wanted - more like she did in the beginning when you were chasing her. When you feel like your marriage is in need of repair, try getting back to basics; and just remember that everyone wants to feel loved and appreciated - and pretty and wanted. To revitalize your relationship and put the spark back into your marriage, try treating your wife like a new girlfriend you really want to like you.

Prayer and Thinking - Could You Be Praying Wrong?
[News-and-Society:Religion] Prayer is used and "taught" in every religion; yet prayer is so misunderstood that most people simply don't expect it to work - and therefore rarely pray. Is it more likely that the great teachers and wise men throughout history were wrong, or that the people who told you to pray didn't spend a great deal of time explaining the faculties of mind to you?

Secrets to Enhancing Marital Relations - It's the Thought That Counts
[Relationships:Enhancement] Many good marriages fail simply because they have lost their "spark;" at least that's what the people who've lost their spark say. The reality is that all marriages lose THAT spark unless you know how to keep it ignited; and that's a learned skill - not a natural ability. The first thing to realize and understand is that love, romance, and sex, are all primarily mental activities that grow into physical expressions. Improving any area of your relationship requires thought - specifically positive thoughts about what you want to experience. To keep the spark alive in your relationship, just remember - it's the thought that counts.

Relationship Improvement Techniques - Using EFT to Enhance Your Relationship
[Relationships:Enhancement] Relationships begin as a matter of awareness, gravity/attraction, and desire/chemistry; but these things soon fade leaving people wondering why they got into this relationship in the first place. Understanding that newness doesn't last, and that chemistry (hormones) soon dissipates, is one of the ways to be prepared for the inevitable changes that challenge most relationships; and the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is another way. Here's how you can use this quick and easy-to-learn, free technique, to enhance your relationship.

REACH For Relationship Success - 5 Easy Steps to Enhance Your Relationship
[Relationships:Enhancement] If you want something, you've got to reach out and grab it. If you want a healthy and happy relationship, you can sit around complaining that you don't have one, or you can REACH for a better one. With a little awareness and a new perspective, you may find that better relationship you're looking for right there in your old relationship - without ever having to look elsewhere.

[Relationships:Enhancement] Whether you are seeking to improve your marriage, strengthen your relationship with a boyfriend or girlfriend, or solidify a business association, relationship skills are essential; and the person with the greatest mastery of essential relationship skills will always thrive, flourish, and prosper. If you want to get the most out of your relationships, you need to learn how to give the most and how to put the most into your relationships. Here are five essential skills for improving your relationships.

Relationship Enhancement - Learning to Sacrifice
[Relationships:Enhancement] Relationships are opportunities for great personal and spiritual growth if approached properly. If not handled with care, however, relationship can create a great deal of trouble, pain, suffering, and confusion - among other things. Learning to let-go, sacrifice, give, or otherwise relinquish attachment to certain outcomes, or to your way of doing and being in the world, will work miracles in your relationship - instantly replacing conflict with harmony.

Enhance Your Relationship With Gratitude
[Relationships:Enhancement] If you are seeking to improve your relationship, consider that you may think it is broken, or that something is wrong with it. If that's the case, it is likely that you don't feel very grateful for your relationship, or your partner. When you feel ungrateful, others can sense it; and it has a tremendous impact on your relationship in ways that aren't always easy to see. To rapidly enhance your relationship, try the attitude of gratitude.

Relationship Enhancement - First Things First - Why Are You Married?
[Relationships:Enhancement] Do you know why you're married? Many people know their marriage isn't the way they want it to be; but they don't really know why they're married anymore. They may know - or think they know - why they got married; but that reason will not sustain a marriage. In order to stay happily married, you need to always have a reason for being married and an incentive to do the things you need to do in order to keep your marriage happy and healthy.

Alternative Health and Emotional Freedom With EFT
[Health-and-Fitness:Alternative] EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) was developed in the 1990s by Gary Craig. Since its development, EFT has become widely used throughout the world. Physicians, Psychiatrists, Personal Coaches, Professional Athletes, and lay-people alike, have found practical applications for EFT, and have achieved remarkable results - ranging from health benefits to financial gains. EFT is a safe and simple technique with many uses and applications; and, best of all, anyone can learn EFT and take steps toward reclaiming their own health and life - and it doesn't have to cost anything at all.

How to Hypnotize Someone - A Basic Hypnotic Induction
[Self-Improvement:NLP-Hypnosis] Even though hypnosis is a natural state every one of us goes in and out of several times each day, hypnosis is still one of the most misunderstood techniques on the planet. Though hypnosis may appear like sleeping, or mind-control, hypnosis can be done with eyes open or closed; and it is actually a state of heightened awareness rather than unconsciousness.

Enhance Your Marriage With Hypnosis - 10 Things to Tell Yourself About Your Marriage Everyday
[Relationships:Enhancement] Hypnosis is much simpler than you might imagine. Anytime you are calm and relaxed, mentally receptive, or in "the zone," you are in some form of hypnosis. Hypnosis can resemble a sleep-like state, or it can manifest as you arriving home without remembering any of the drive.

Marriage Problems - 10 Common Causes of Marital Conflicts, Stress, and Disharmony
[Relationships:Conflict] There is no shortage of jokes about unhappy marriages; mostly because nothing is funnier than the truth and there is no shortage of unhappy marriages. And when you consider that more than half of the people who get married end-up divorced, you have to wonder what we're doing wrong. Why can't we just get along? Well, knowledge is power; and when you know something is causing a problem, you have a much better chance of learning to deal with it in such a way that it doesn't cause problems. Ignorance, in this case, is not bliss.

Relationship Mastery - 7 Things You Can Do to Enhance Your Relationship Now and Always
[Relationships:Enhancement] Everyone wants their relationship to be better; but most people make that a complicated affair. Relationships, however, are pretty simple - especially if you have a system or plan to follow.

Cancer Treatments - Is Chemotherapy Safe, Necessary Or Worthwhile?
[Cancer] Have you ever seen someone undergo chemotherapy? It is horrific. But the worst thing about it is that there is really no point in enduring all that suffering. Though chemotherapy has been the main treatment for cancer in the U.S. since the 1960's, recent studies have shown that there may be no benefit at all to justify the misery caused by the chemotherapy. Studies show that about half of all cancer patients receive chemotherapy; and it helps only about 5% of those patients. In other words, all the facts on chemotherapy are in; and they suggest that you should seriously consider your alternatives.

Cancer Alternatives - 5 Things You Should Consider Before Undergoing Chemotherapy
[Cancer] Since the 1960's, chemotherapy has been the primary treatment for cancer in the United States - despite questionable benefits and the terrible suffering it causes patients who are already experiencing a major health challenge. But would you believe that the only real reason chemotherapy is still around is because consumers are simply conditioned to blindly follow authority without asking their own questions. Furthermore, the undue fear that has been associated with cancer immediately puts most people into a state of shock - in which they will acquiesce to anyone who offers to help them. Well, here are 5-things you should consider before simply going along with convention and subjecting yourself to a treatment most doctors wouldn't even use:

Law of Attraction and Gratitude - 7-Steps For Attraction Success and Creating With Gratitude
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Gratitude is one of the more important ingredients for successfully using the Law of Attraction. By "successful," I simply mean that there are many ways to simply get what you want; but to get what you want, to feel good about it, to enjoy it, and to have the experience of it without creating what some would call, "Bad Karma," you need to consider using the power of Gratitude in all of your "attraction actions." Here's a seven-step process for creating or attracting what you want by using gratitude:

10 Common Stress-Management Distractions and Some Popular Alternative Approaches
[Self-Improvement:Stress-Management] The American Psychology Association (APA) has estimated that perhaps 90% of all trips to the doctor are due to stress-related complaints. That's easy to believe - and understand - when you consider some of the potentially harmful methods people use to cope with, or distract themselves from, the stress in their lives. Many of the more common methods people use to handle stress actually create problems of their own. But, if you find a safe alternative; learning to manage stress could make you a stranger to your doctor. Here's a list of 10-common distractions people use to deal with the stress in their lives:

Why and How to Be Happy Now - Happiness Incentives and 5-Tips For Being Happy
[Self-Improvement:Happiness] It seems obvious that everyone wants to be happy. So why are so many people unhappy? Perhaps people want to be happy but simply don't understand how to be happy. Or, perhaps people just don't have adequate incentive to do whatever it takes to be happier. Being happier is not only simple; but being happier can improve your health and every other part of your life. Imagine what it would be like to be happy practically all the time. It's easier when you realize that being unhappy is a sign that you're doing all kinds of bad things to your body.

Relationship Enhancement - Make a List - Check it Twice!
[Relationships:Enhancement] Imagine if your partner truly felt appreciated! If you've been around someone who feels depressed and worthless, you know how much better it is to be around someone who is upbeat and feels loved, appreciated, and wanted. You can improve your relationship dramatically by simply making a list of things you are grateful for - specifically things about your partner. And there are added benefits to this strategy, too; it helps you improve your attitude and gain a more appreciative perspective - both of which will do wonders for your relationship.

5 Simple Steps For Improving Your Relationship - REACH For Relationship Success
[Relationships:Enhancement] Improving your relationship can be a simple process or an ordeal you might not survive; but, if you want to improve or save your relationship, you must do what you must do. Improving your relationship requires self-honesty and self-application - and that you learn and try new things. Here is a five-step process that will help you REACH your goals, and help you understand some of the steps you must take, and some of the concepts you must consider, in order to turn your relationship from stressful to successful:

All Medicine is Alternative Medicine - Some Approaches Are Just More Dangerous Than Others
[Health-and-Fitness:Alternative] If you have been living in America over the past 40-years, you have seen an interesting thing happen with medicine - it's not about healing patients anymore. Medicine in the U.S. is completely a profit-driven affair with Insurance Companies, Pharmaceutical Companies, and Medical Establishments cutting the pie up in three-big slices - and you and I don't get any! Unless you grew up in a rather enlightened environment, you -like me - have probably always thought that there is only one kind of "Real" medicine and everything else is simply some sort of sham that couldn't really work because it's just not scientific enough. Well, "modern" medicine is not all it's cracked up to be - with high prices, dangerous and unpleasant side-effects, and marginal success. You have always had a number of alternatives for healing; and Western, corporate, pharmaceutical, allopathic, conventional medicine is only one of those alternatives - perhaps the least effective and most dangerous alternative of all.

20 Reasons For Sexual Issues and Problems in Marriages
[Relationships:Marriage] Most marriages in the U.S. end in divorce; and the rest end in death. But long before marriages and people die, the spark in a relationship dies for one or the other - or both partners. People talk to counselors, take drugs, and go to many extremes to re-ignite the flame in their relationship; but, unless the underlying problem is removed or corrected, trying to revitalize a marriage can be a bit like trying to light a match in the rain. Identifying the underlying cause for the sexual issues in your marriage opens the door for understanding and addressing them directly and effectively.

Making Prayer Work - Some Things You Need to Know About Yourself and Your Thoughts
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] If your prayers seem to go unanswered, you aren't alone. Unanswered prayer is a common complaint among most religions; and it is one of the things that actually turns people away from religion. But the problem of unanswered prayer isn't that prayer doesn't work; the problem is simply a lack of training, awareness, and understanding.

The Secret to Marital Bliss - Learn to Love Change
[Relationships:Marriage] Marriage can be difficult. Statistically, most marriages fail; and, realistically, many of those who stay married probably shouldn't. Even people who are devoted to each other, and who think about and work on their relationships, often run into difficult times, rough spots, or some kind of trouble. Sometimes it seems that just when you got things figured out, they change. Well, change is constant; and the secret to marital bliss and relationship success is simple: Embrace change and learn to love it.

Relationship Enhancement - Improving Your Relationship With EFT
[Relationships:Enhancement] If you've been trying unsuccessfully to mend, improve, or even save a relationship, don't think of yourself as a failure. Thoughts, beliefs, memories, grudges, resentment, and other programming could be hampering your progress; and, until you remove them, or find a way to work around them, your relationship isn't likely to get much better. The good news is that you can use EFT (the Emotional Freedom Techniques) to remove or eliminate the emotional triggers that cause you to feel bad, angry, sad, worried, or threatened - as well as removing roadblocks to the success of your relationship.

Relationship Enhancement - Improve Your Relationship by Using Affirmations
[Relationships:Enhancement] You may have heard the old saying, "Declare a thing and it is so." The sad fact about relationships is that people complain about them rather than saying positive things; and, statistics show that these negative declarations do indeed come to fruition.

Relationship Enhancement - 10 Tips For Improving and Strengthening Your Marriage
[Relationships:Enhancement] Improving your marriage is easy; but it does take effort. If you want your marriage, or any situation, to change, you must learn to do different things.

5 Ways to Build Strong Relationships - Empower Your Partner
[Relationships:Enhancement] You cannot build a strong house with weak bricks; nor can you build a strong relationship by tearing down your partner. Relationships are opportunities to learn about ourselves by learning about others; even though they are so often used to make one person feel good at the expense of another. The key to building a strong, healthy relationship is making the component parts as strong and healthy as possible. Empower your relationship by empowering your partner. Here are five-ways you can strengthen your relationship by building-up your partner.

How to Create the Perfect Wife - Affirm Her Perfection Daily
[Relationships:Enhancement] The truth is that we are all perfect. But how many unwise souls find it necessary to point out a wrinkle here, an extra inch or pound there, a new grey hair, or some other flaw, mistake, or shortcoming, to their spouses? I'm sure these kind souls only mean to be helpful - to offer a piece of wisdom, direction, or guidance - but these "reminders" actually have the opposite effect they are intended to produce.

Understanding and Resolving Relationship Conflicts - 6 Common Relationship Problems
[Relationships:Conflict] Relationships, even at their best, are classrooms for some pretty complicated lessons. But relation problems and conflicts are still only lessons - gifts or opportunities for discovery.

One of the keys to resolving relationship conflicts lies in understanding the nature of the problem. Here is a list of six-common relationship problems to help you identify potential sources of conflict that need your attention:

The Most Powerful Way to Improve Your Marriage - Define and Affirm Your Relationship
[Relationships:Enhancement] Relationships don't break overnight. Most relationships start to "wobble" almost as soon as they begin. Unmet expectations, fears, worries, judgments, stress, outside influences, and a lack of communication, among other things, lead relationships even further off course as memories, grudges, and issues create walls that are hard to see past, or hear through. Ending the relationship is the easy and natural progression of events; relationships don't heal themselves, and, in this situation, you aren't getting closer together.

Relationship Enhancement - 6 Questions You Should Ask Yourself About Your Relationship
[Relationships:Enhancement] If your relationship isn't all you think it should be, consider what you are doing to shape it, and contribute to its current condition. I'm not pointing a finger of blame; but the simple fact is that you can only think of one thing at a time, and there's only so much time in a day, or days in a lifetime. If you don't think about how you want your relationship to be - it won't be.

6 - Things You Need to Build a Happy Relationship - And Love Ain't One of Them
[Relationships:Enhancement] Happy relationships don't simply happen; and they don't build and maintain themselves. Although it may be true that you meet someone who makes you happy, and you form a relationship for that reason; people, times, situations, attitudes, and personalities change - of this you can be sure. But you can keep a relationship happy - as long as you have these six-things:

Enhance Your Relationship by Removing Distractions - What Comes Between You and Your Spouse?
[Relationships:Enhancement] One of the quickest ways to improve your relationship is to simply remove the distractions that you have allowed to come between you and your spouse or partner. Relationships take time, energy, attention, and focus; and there's only so much time in a day. Since you can only think about one thing at a time, consider how much time you spend thinking about and doing things that aren't related to your partner. Make a list of the things you spend your time thinking about or doing; here are some common distractions:

Relationship Enhancement - 10 Personality Traits That Will Help You Succeed in Relationships
[Relationships:Enhancement] Relationships aren't as difficult as they seem - that is, of course, as long as you have the right relationship skills. Some of these skills may come quite natural to you; but all of them can be easily learned with a little thought and practice.

Think about, and practice, these keys to a great, balanced, and happy relationship:

Enhancing Your Marriage - Don't Make the Biggest Marriage Mistake of All
[Relationships:Enhancement] One of the biggest mistakes a person can make in a marriage is also one of the most common. We often hear about this mistake directly from those who make it when they say, "She tried to change me, but I wouldn't let her!" The myth that you can be married without becoming a different person, or that you should resist changing when you get married, are at the root of many of the conflicts that arise within a relationship. Change is constant and guaranteed; what you and your relationship become, however, is up to you. Don't make the biggest marriage mistake of all; learn to roll with the changes in your relationship.

Relationship Problems - 10 Big Relationship Mistakes and What You Can Do About Them
[Relationships:Enhancement] Life is all about relationships - marriages, families, friends, jobs, teams, etc, are just a few of the relationships we may be a part of. All relationships are give-and-take; and, in all relationships, you reap what you sow. If you are experiencing relationship difficulties, honestly examine your relationships for the presence of any of the destructive behaviors listed below. Identifying and removing, or correcting, the hurtful behavior will open the door for relationship harmony in any type of relationship. Which of these things are you doing to wreck your relationship, or is someone you know doing to wreck their own relationship?

The Secret to Self-Healing - Programming and Activating Your Healing Response
[Health-and-Fitness:Alternative] Healing is simpler than you might think. Though the basic fundamentals of self-healing are essentially hidden from the public by virtue of the fact that they simply aren't taught to the average person; they are only a secret until someone lets you in on what you didn't know before. You can reclaim your health; and it's easier than you think. By the time you've finished reading this article, you'll understand how you can heal yourself and maintain perpetual wellness by declaring and affirming the health you desire.

Consciously Creating Your Own Life With Effective Prayer - Learn to Control Your Thinking
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] Before seeing the word, "breathing," you probably weren't thinking about it; and you probably weren't thinking about your own breathing - even though you were doing it. Breathing is one of those things we do unconsciously - whether we are asleep, or not.

Overcoming Depression - Resolving and Releasing the Source of Depression
[Health-and-Fitness:Depression] Modern medicine claims that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance; but, despite all their science and drugs, they are yet to find a way to balance the so-called imbalanced chemicals, or replace them, or stop the imbalance. Anti-depressants are a dangerous way to address a problem that starts in the mind; and pharmaceutical chemicals don't truly address the underlying cause of depression, anyway - they simply alter the way you feel and perceive things. To overcome depression, each individual must learn which thoughts create the chemical imbalance we experience as depression, and which thoughts produce healthier, more beneficial chemistry in the body.

The Mental Colon Cleanse - The Metaphysical Alternative to Cleanse the Colon
[Health-and-Fitness:Alternative] A healthy colon is essential to a happy and healthy life; and colon cleanses are one of the more popular methods for clearing and cleaning the colon. Enemas, colonics, purgatives, and various mixtures of salts and fruit juice or extracts, are all commonly-used weapons in the fight for colon health; but there's one seldom-used tool that can make all these methods more effective and encourage the colon to do the job naturally - just as it was designed to do. Here's the secret to natural, lasting colon health without the mess and discomfort of "traditional" cleanses:

7-Ways to Make Yourself Depression-Proof - Alternatives to Anti-Depressants
[Health-and-Fitness:Depression] Statistics say that 1-in-10 Americans experiences depression. If you're not depressed, you probably know people who are. But, whether you're depressed right now or not, there's always a chance you could experience depression unless you understand what it is and have strategies or techniques to keep you from falling into depression and getting "stuck" there. By focusing on the principles of wellness - and avoiding the traps of depression - you can easily sidestep a very common pitfall that snares millions of Americans each year. Here are 10-ways you can make yourself depression-proof:

How to Cleanse Your Liver Without Using a Liver Cleanse - Liver Affirmations
[Health-and-Fitness:Alternative] Liver cleanses are the big rage in alternative health circles, but do they work and are they necessary? Certainly liver health is essential; but will a liver cleanse do the trick, or do you need to do something more? Even if you use a liver cleanse, there's always the likelihood that whatever you cleanse will return until you learn how to keep your liver clean and healthy without using a liver cleanse. Here's the easiest way to clean your liver and restore liver health; and it doesn't cost a dime.

The No-Cleanse Liver Cleanse - A Consciousness-Based Approach to a Healthy Liver
[Health-and-Fitness:Alternative] One of the more popular alternative approaches to health care these days is the liver cleanse. There are many alternatives available for cleansing the liver; but, ultimately, what you are really seeking is liver health, or a healthy liver - not necessarily another tool, technique, or alternative treatment or therapy. You may be surprised to know that liver health has much more to do with anger and anger-management than it has to do with liver stones, flukes, or parasites. And there are simple ways to remove the excess anger from both your liver and your life.

What You Don't Know About Alternative Medicine Could Kill You
[Health-and-Fitness:Alternative] Believe it or not, what you don't know about alternative medicine could cost you your life. Conventional Western allopathic medicine has been revealed to be one of the leading killers of Americans - when everything goes as it should - and alternative approaches to medical problems and complaints are becoming more and more common. But some people still don't know about some of the safe, easy, effective, and even free alternatives that could quickly eliminate many common medical problems for which the "traditional," pharmaceutical or surgical treatment could prove fatal. Don't you want to know your alternatives before you make a choice that could cost you your life?

EFT - Free Alternative Health Care For Everyone?
[Health-and-Fitness:Alternative] In these economic times, health care is one of the biggest issues and concerns facing not only Americans, but people all over the world. Many people are actually being forced to choose between rent, food, and gas - or health care. Nobody should have to make such choices; but, even if you can afford health care and medical insurance, wouldn't it be nice if you could solve most of your problems at home - at no cost, risk free, and possibly in minutes rather than the time it takes to drive to the doctor's office and sit and wait and be seen, etc?

Relationship Enhancement - Using Affirmations to Improve Your Relationship
[Relationships:Enhancement] With over one-half of all marriages ending in divorce, it seems like we've still got a lot to learn about relationships and marriages. People are complex; and relationships are naturally at least twice as complex. But there are some simple things you can learn how to do that will dramatically improve your relationship from the inside out. One of the easiest of those things to do is to create and say affirmations about your relationship. You can literally create any change you want to create in your relationship - sometimes overnight - by simply using a heartfelt affirmation.

EFT is Good For What Ails You - Try it on Everything
[Health-and-Fitness:Alternative] The Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT, is a form of "psychological acupressure" being used all over the world by physicians and laymen alike to help them - and their clients - overcome issues, fears, phobias, grief, and other emotional problems, as well a growing number of physical or medical problems. EFT is quick, safe, simple, easy-to-learn, easier-to-use, highly effective, and essentially free to the world; and best of all it can be used on anything! Though EFT may not always work on everything, it works often enough to make a smart person ask, "Why not try it on everything first?"

How to Stop Smoking - Two Quick and Easy Methods That Are Practically Guaranteed to Work
[Health-and-Fitness:Quit-Smoking] There are many excellent reasons to stop smoking; but quitting isn't always as easy as it sounds -- and sometimes those reasons just aren't enough incentive to simply stop. Here are the two quickest, safest, easiest, most effective, and possibly least expensive ways to quit smoking I have found in years of clinical practice.

Ten-Ways to Stop Smoking Now - A Clinician's List of Popular Smoking Cessation Methods
[Health-and-Fitness:Quit-Smoking] I have been helping people stop smoking for years; and, I have used a variety of methods. I can tell you from experience that no one way is better than any other way - they all work to a certain extent. But they might not all work for you; that's why there's more than one way to stop smoking. Of course, I have my favorite methods based on my own clinical experience - and on which methods get the best results in the shortest amount of time. The key to quitting smoking, however, is finding a method that works for you. Here's a list of ten-ways that are commonly used by people to quit smoking:

YOU Are the Future of Medicine! Reclaim Your Health by Choosing Healthy Thoughts
[Health-and-Fitness:Mind-Body-Spirit] It seems as if every week or so there is another medical breakthrough - a new miracle procedure or wonder drug. Well, the real future of medicine looks and sounds a lot more like the history of medicine than what we are seeing today. The latest cutting-edge sciences have come full-circle in their understanding of the human mind-body interface; and today's most advanced medical advice sounds much like the words of the ancient healers and prophets - "As you think, so it is done to you. " So," fear not; be of good cheer." The future of medicine depends on you; because the future of medicine begins with you. You are your own cure!

Get Your Hopes Up and Keep Them That Way - Just Don't Be So Attached to Outcomes
[Self-Improvement:Innovation] Every living thing wants something. When we get what we want, or when we receive something that we like, we say that we were successful, or that we are content, fulfilled, or happy. And every living thing wants to be content, fulfilled, happy, etc. So HOW do we get what we want? How do we turn our desires into reality? By holding onto the possibility, or hope, that your desires will one day become realities, you can create anything you choose. It is the energy of hope that will keep you moving forward toward your dreams -- unless, or until, you let attachment slow you down, divert you, or stop you altogether.

What's Really Important About Jesus? Message Or Messenger? "As You Thinketh"
[News-and-Society:Religion] No matter what you believe about Jesus, He spent a great deal of time teaching; and, if Jesus is an important figure to you, perhaps the things He devoted His life to teaching were important to Him. What could be so important? Why would the church and state want to kill this person if His teachings weren't threatening to them? And what is more dangerous to the establishment than a bunch of people following their own hearts and minds? If you understand this message, you really can free yourself from suffering.

Finding Your Life's Purpose - 15 Questions to Shorten Your Search
[Self-Improvement:Success] These days, it seems like everyone is searching for their "life's purpose." If you look around, you might notice that most people seem to be doing what they're told - just like when we were kids. And most of those people, who are just trying to be good people, seem to be unhappy, unhealthy, and unfulfilled. Why do so many people do only what they've been told to do, or only what they think they have to do, or do what they do without asking or understanding why they're doing it - especially when it's not working for them? And why ask, "Why?", when you can just follow orders, right?

The Secret to Happiness and Success - On Your Own Terms
[Self-Improvement:Happiness] You may think that you don't have happiness in your life because you are feeling unhappy right now. It may seem obvious to you that you are looking for happiness because you don't feel happy, and therefore are not happy. You may even be frustrated because happiness is so elusive, or seems so far away. If only you could find happiness... Then you wouldn't have to suffer anymore. Socrates said that the beginning of wisdom is the definition of terms.

Prayer and Attraction - 3 Things You Should Know That Will Make Your Prayers More Effective
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Prayer is thought; more specifically, it is focused, intentional thought based on a desire - to be, do, have, or change something or some experience. All thoughts create some sort of emotional response; some people call this emotional excitation, "vibrations," or "vibes." You can be giving-off "good vibes," or "bad vibes," depending on the nature of your thoughts and feelings. It is important to understand how your thoughts - prayers and otherwise - are creating your vibratory state because it is your vibratory state that determines you experience by attracting, or tuning-you-in-to, certain situations and conditions.

7-Tips For Improving Your Golf Game With Peak Performance Mental Skills
[Recreation-and-Sports:Golf] Peak performance mental skills are critical for anyone who wants to take their game to the next level. Mental skills are essential in any sport; and, to improve performance, to step-up to the next level, or to excel at any sport which requires focus and concentration, you must improve your mental game. In a sport like golf, which is primarily a "mental" game, peak performance skills are the difference between winners and losers; and, at higher levels of competition, these mental skills separate the professionals from those destined for the Hall of Fame.

Happily Ever After - Why Are You Still Married?
[Relationships:Marriage] Do you know why you're still married? Have you ever asked yourself - or thought about it? Are you still married for the same reason you got married in the first place? Of course, to answer that question, you'd need to know why you really got married. Do you know? And, if you want a happy and successful marriage, you need a reason for being married -- a reason that is your own.

Innovation - There's Got to Be a Better Way
[Self-Improvement:Innovation] There's a better way to do things; but, if you don't think about it, or look for it, you aren't likely to find it. And why should we look for a better way of doing things? We shouldn't, necessarily. But, if you do want to find a better way, you need to think about how you define the word "better," how you want things to be better, and why you want them to be better. This is the key to making them that way.

Improve Your Golf Game Instantly With These 10-Critical Mental Components of Golf
[Recreation-and-Sports:Golf] Golf is a mental game; many of the components of golf, therefore, can not be purchased in a pro shop. If you were to simply watch golf, you might see balls and clubs and golf shoes, etc; it is natural for most people to see these things and think that golf is a matter of having the best components and clothing, or that if they acquire the appropriate gear, the rest will come naturally. But the fact is, there are several critical mental components you'll need to understand if you ever want to master your emotions -- or golf.

Marriage - 3 Things That Can Dramatically Improve Your Health and Your Marriage
[Relationships:Marriage] In life and marriage you have two-choices: Health and happiness; or Illness and unhappiness. It's a sad fact; but most people are unhappy in life - and in marriage. But if this is a choice, why would people choose to be unhappy? And what can be done to to improve our marriage and our health?

Improving Your Marriage - What Do You Talk About?
[Relationships:Marriage] Did you know that what you and your spouse talk about could be wrecking your health and destroying your marriage? It's true; and most people don't even realize it. What do you spend your time talking about - news, television, weather, politics, bills and debt, gas prices...? Do the things you talk about stress you out, or do they make you happy? It is important to listen to your own words, as they will show you what you are thinking; and, what you're thinking is important because it creates your experience and your perception of reality.

Attract Solutions, Not Problems - Quit Complaining About Your Problems and Do Something Different
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Do you really want things in your life to be better in some way, or do you want to keep being the "star" in your own personal drama? Better is different; and, if you are afraid of change, better may be easier said than done. Many people continue to create unhappy lives for themselves because they don't know how to do any differently; but some people enjoy playing the role of victim. You simply can't keep being the main character in your own tragedy if you want to have a happy and fulfilling life. You don't get extra-credit, or "happy points," for carrying a heavy load.

Marriage - 3-Good Reasons Why You Should Put Energy Into Working on Your Marriage
[Relationships:Marriage] With so many marriages ending in divorce, it is hard to believe all those people actually made an effort to repair their situations and learn about marriage - and their partner. I have observed, and found in my own, personal experience, that a little effort can go a long way when it comes to any relationship; and, conversely, no effort will make any relationship go away. When you take steps in one direction, others will tend to either follow you, or resist you. If you direct your energy - mental, emotional, and physical - toward creating a great relationship, that's what you'll eventually create.

Three Quick and Easy Ways to Dramatically Improve Your Marriage - Listen - Learn - and Love
[Relationships:Marriage] If your marriage isn't working for you, maybe you aren't working enough for it. A marriage is a relationship; and no ship will steer its own course - or stay afloat very long without maintenance. If your relationship is feeling more like a "slave-ship," or a "war-ship," here are three-things you can do that will make it seem more like a "cruise-ship" - and help you turn your marriage into a dream vacation:

Success - What's Important to You?
[Self-Improvement:Success] What is success? Isn't success simply realizing the things that are important to you? So, what's important to you? I'm sure you could list some things, probably several things; but do you really know what's truly important to you? Do you ever spend time asking yourself, or thinking about, what's truly important to you?

Marriage - 3 Essential Ingredients For a Successful Marriage - Incentive, a Willing Partner, & LUCK
[Relationships:Marriage] You need more than a marriage certificate and good intentions to have a successful marriage. Commercial television programming and advertising would have you believe that finding a husband or wife is the difficult part of marriage; but, with over half of all marriages ending in divorce, it seems much easier to get married than it is to stay married. But there are things you can learn that will help you make your marriage a success.

Innovation - 3-Steps to Creating New Realities
[Self-Improvement:Innovation] Do you want to create something new, or perhaps change part -- or all -- of your life? Here's a three-step process for creating "whatsoever you desire," and some advice for cultivating these critical success skills.

Losing Weight by Drinking Water - 7-Ways Water Helps You Lose Weight Just by Drinking It
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] Everyone knows human beings cannot survive without water; but is water a miracle weight-loss drug? Some health care researchers and professionals would say that it is; and that's a perspective worth looking into for anyone seeking better health -- or weight-loss and a healthy, fit body. In fact, here are seven-ways that water can help you lose weight just by drinking it.

The Secret and the Law of Attraction on Oprah - 3 Things You Can Do to Make the Secret Work For You
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Anyone who watches Oprah is familiar with The Secret - a popular book about the Law of Attraction. But many people are frustrated because, though they've read the book - and want their lives to be different - they just can't seem to make The Secret work for them. Well, the Law of Attraction isn't a "tool," or something that either works or doesn't work; it is always working whether you understand how to work with it, or not. If you are thinking and the "right" thoughts, feeling the "right" feelings,and taking the "right" actions, it will seem much more like the "Law" is on your side and working "for" you rather than "against" you. Here are three-things you can do to help The Secret work for you:

The "Fight Against Cellulite" on the Morning Show With Mike and Juliet - And Other Alternatives
[Health-and-Fitness:Skin-Care] The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet dedicated its Thursday, June 19, 2008 show to the fight against cellulite - the lumpy fat cells that look like "cottage-cheese" under the skin. Cellulite is believed to affect up to 90% of the female population; and a large number of men - though men aren't affected by cellulite nearly as much as women. And, there doesn't seem to be any real solutions that work. Or is there?

Weight-Loss - Seven Simple Steps For Slimming-Down Fast
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] Everyone wants to lose weight, it seems; but, based on statistics, nobody seems to know how to do it. Over two-thirds of all Americans are overweight; and over 100-million Americans - one-third of the population - is actually considered, "obese." The only thing growing faster than America's waistline seems to be the diet and health industries who are telling us what to do in our "battle of the bulge." But, if they knew what they were talking about, wouldn't we be getting fitter instead of fatter?

The Secret on Oprah - Can "The Secret" Really Help Depression?
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Oprah recently re-aired a show featuring The Secret, and guests: Louise Hay, Cheryl Richardson, and Martha Beck - each offering their perspectives on the best-selling book by Rhonda Byrne and The Law of Attraction. One of the stories featured on this show was about a woman who overcame grief and depression after reading The Secret and realizing the dynamics of her thoughts and what they were creating in her life. But can The Secret really cure depression?

The Law of Attraction and Happiness - How to Attract Happiness - Just Be Happy!
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] I think it's safe to assume that "normal" people want to be happy. We want to be around happy people, in happy environments, feeling good and doing things that make us happy. So, if happiness (and happy experiences) is our goal, what can we do to reach that goal? If happiness is a common goal for so many people, why are so many people unhappy? There's got to be a way for each of us to attract the happiness we seek; but how?

Happiness - How to Be Happy Using Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
[Self-Improvement:Happiness] Happiness is our natural state. Happiness is essentially the "unimpeded flow of life-energy," or spirit, through us - through our bodies and life experiences. We have to learn, or be conditioned, to resist the flow of life and happiness. In other words, if we didn't have experiences that taught us to be afraid, worried, and unhappy, we'd be happy. If we weren't conditioned to resist, we'd relax. Happiness is natural; unhappiness is essentially a bad habit based on fear and misunderstanding.

Happiness - 5 Golden Rules For Being Happy Now and Always
[Self-Improvement:Happiness] Everyone wants to be happy; that seems to go without saying. Surprisingly, however, unhappiness is a choice. The good news is that, if you follow a few simple "rules," happiness -- true, lasting joy -- can be yours. Isn't that what life is all about? Check out these 5-Golden Rules for Being Happy and see where you might be "missing the boat..."

Innovation - Using Emotional Self-Management For Business Success
[Self-Improvement:Innovation] The key to innovation, invention, and any kind of success is in thinking clearly and effectively when faced with a problem, or a situation requiring a decision or resolution. In other words, creative solutions come from cool-heads and clear-minds - not from people who freak-out when faced with a challenge. If you're ready to take a giant leap forward in your business - and personal - life, I'll give you the number-one secret to mastery and success in any endeavor - and something even better...

3-Golden Rules of Innovation
[Self-Improvement:Innovation] It isn't always easy to be different; yet, if you want to be innovative, you've got to break with trends, traditions, and even your own habits. There's no way around this; innovators are bringers of new things - not old things. New means change; change means different. You won't find those inspirations and motivations to do new things, however, by staying in your comfort zone. Innovators in business, industry, and technology all follow certain rules - their own rules - not the standard rules of thinking and acting that most of society uses. To break through to a new reality, try following these "golden rules" for creating change.

Law of Attraction Distractions - The Universe Pays Attention Even When We Don't
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] When asked how he came up with his Theory of Gravity, Sir Isaac Newton replied, "I thought about it all the time." I suppose if he had been more distracted, those ideas would have landed on someone else, or we wouldn't have done all the things we have done based on Newton's observations. The fact is that we really can't imagine what the world would be like if some of our greatest thinkers had other things to do - like watching television, texting their friends, or playing video games.

Law of Attraction - Clear the Fear Between You and Your Dreams
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Many people don't realize that the only thing standing between them and their dream is fear. At first glance, this doesn't seem like it could possibly be true - at least not in every case. But it is true in practically every case; fear is the thing that stops us from reaching our goals and realizing our dreams. But how can we get rid of the fear?

Prayer and the Law of Attraction - Two-Ways to Pray
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Prayer is something people do to ask for, or give thanks for, a desire or a desired or favorable change. There are many different ways to pray; but they all involve thinking about what you want. People using the Law of Attraction are doing the same thing; they're thinking about a desire, or a desired outcome, in the way they believe will give them the best chance of experiencing it. There are many different ways to look at the process of turning our thoughts into realities, or experiencing them in the physical world; but they all involve thinking about what you want.

Law of Attraction - 10-Common "Attraction-Mistakes" People Make
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] If you don't think the Law of Attraction is working for you, then try and understand that the Law works the same for everybody - we just don't all put the same kinds of thoughts and feelings into our desires. Everyone uses their thought processes in different ways; different thoughts generate different results. People who are successful at creating and manifesting their dreams and desires are people who think about their plans and desires in a certain way. But people who don't seem to be getting what they want in life also think about the things they want in a certain way - and each kind of thinking bears its own kind of fruit. Here's a list of 10-common mistakes people make to thwart themselves with the Law of Attraction...

Two-Things You Don't Know About Your Own Mind That Could Be Keeping Your Prayers From Being Answered
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] If you think your prayers are answered sometimes, and not answered at other times, or that the answer to prayers is sometimes, "Yes," sometimes, "No," and sometimes, "Maybe," then you need to consider at least one other possibility. Maybe you just don't always pray effectively. Maybe there's more than one way to think, or pray, and you just aren't doing it...

Relationships - Why Your Relationship Sucks - And What You Can Do to Fix It
[Relationships:Enhancement] How much time does the average person spend on their relationship each day? The average person spends little to no time thinking about, or working on, their relationship; and, when they do think and talk about their relationships, it is typically negative - which is exactly why the average relationship sucks.

Weight Issues, Body-Image Issues, And Self-Esteem Issues On ABC's "The View"
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] Recently, on ABC Television's, The View, the cast spent some time talking about Weight issues and perceptions in this culture - and other cultures - through the years and around the world. At issue is the media-propagated images that make women feel fat even when they are perfectly healthy. Whoopi Goldberg even mentioned a recent study that found a majority of women would rather have cancer than be fat! Women would be doing themselves a huge favor by doing some serious thinking about the way they have been conditioned to think. They are being programmed to hate themselves, their bodies, and their lives; and it is that hatred that keeps making matters worse.

Television Is Designed And Intended To Create Anxiety, Stress, And Low Self-Esteem
[Health-and-Fitness:Anxiety] Many of you have already figured it out; television creates stress - period. Commercial television is designed and intended to create stress for the simple reason that stressed-out people buy things to sedate or distract themselves - or to solve the problems the television tells them they have. This form of mass-hypnosis has been so effective, there are now thousands of television channels.

Success Principles - Failure Is Not An Option
[Self-Improvement:Success] Failure is not an option; it's a judgment and a misunderstanding of where you are and what's going on. Failure is simply what you have labeled a very necessary part of a very necessary process. And, failure can also be an idea used as an excuse to discontinue efforts or activities in a certain area of your life. But there is truly no such thing as a "failure," only outcomes, misunderstandings, and judgments - which often lead to more of the same.

Law Of Attraction Satisfaction - How To Get What You Want In Five-Simple Steps
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] The Law of Attraction isn't a tool, or a process; it's simply an observation of how things seem to group themselves together in this Universe. If you understand the principles of The Law of Attraction, but can't seem to get what you want, you probably just need a process - and maybe a tool or two. So, here you go; I'm going to give you the process I use - and one of the most popular change-techniques, or tools, available today.

Law Of Attraction And Getting What You Want - Are You An Attractive Person?
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Attractiveness has much less to do with beauty than you might think. After all, wouldn't you rather be around a nice person than a pretty person that treated you poorly? "Love" and all its attributes - kindness, compassion, faith, gratitude, joy, etc - is the only truly attractive force; and, interestingly, the more love you give, the more attractive you become - and the more you receive. When your thoughts are grounded in Love, faith, trust, courage, and gratitude, you are a constant attractor; and you get more and more of what you want - and less of what you don't want.

OCD And EFT - EFT Can Often Resolve OCD Even Quicker Than OCD Bootcamp
[Self-Improvement:Techniques] Oprah recently featured Dr. Oz and several people with obsessive-compulsive disorders, or OCD's, and their trip to "OCD Boot Camp," where they spent 72-hours facing their fears and learning to overcome their programmed-responses to those fears and worries. In just 72-hours, amazing changes are made by people who had suffered with fear, worry, and anxiety for years.

Lose Weight Fast With Three Free Weight-Loss Remedies - Water, Air, And Prayer

That's right, at no cost to you, you can immediately start using three of the safest and healthiest weight-loss methods available; and, best of all, none of them have any adverse side-effects, unpleasant tastes, or uncomfortable after-effects such as: Nervousness, Sleeplessness, Restlessness, Nausea, or any of the other common effects of weight-loss drugs.

American Idol - How To Improve Your Chances Of Being The Next Winner On American Idol
[Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] This year's competition may be over; but there will be another American Idol next year. And, there will be hundreds of thousands of would-be superstars entertaining ideas about being "The One." But, to anyone who's ever watched that show, it's obvious that most people don't really give much thought to the process of becoming an American Idol. There are a couple obvious things you can do to increase your chances of being the next winner on American Idol - or at least improve your odds of getting a ticket to go to Hollywood.

OCD On Oprah - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Is "Learned Behavior"
[Health-and-Fitness:Mental-Health] Oprah recently featured Dr. Oz and several people suffering with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) as they went to a 72-hour "OCD Boot Camp" to face and conquer their fears with "exposure and response prevention" therapy. This is an excellent way to overcome what is a very limiting condition affecting approximately 10-million Americans. But, there are other, more affordable ways to quickly, easily, and safely overcome OCD and many other conditions and problems that steal a person's quality of life. Techniques like EFT, for instance, can be quickly and easily learned and used by anyone to overcome a variety of problems.

Medical Myths That Can Kill You - Dr Nancy Snyderman On ABC's The View
[Health-and-Fitness:Medicine] ABC Television's, The View, featuring Whoopie Goldberg and Joy Behar, recently had Dr. Nancy Snyderman on to talk about her book, "Medical Myths that can Kill You," in which Dr. Snyderman reveals a number of popular misconceptions among the general public - and even among doctors - that could lead to misdiagnosis, mistreatment, and serious problems that Dr. Snyderman says could just as easily be avoided. This is just another reminder that we shouldn't necessarily accept things as they are because that's how they've always been - especially where modern medicine and our health is concerned.

Fear Of Flying - 4-Ways To Cope With, Or Eliminate, Your Flying Fears
[Travel-and-Leisure:Airline-Travel] It is estimated that approximately 40% of all airline travelers experience some degree of fear of flying - or some other fear related to flying. With almost 3-billion people flying each year, that's a lot of anxious travelers! And, considering that about 40% of all air travel is business-related, there are a lot of people who are afraid to fly but have to anyway. There is help for all you fearful fliers; and, believe it or not, the most effective way to freedom from flying fears may also be the safest and least expensive.

Mind, Body, And Spirit - Me And My Cell-Phone Aren't So Different
[Health-and-Fitness:Mind-Body-Spirit] Understanding "who" and "what" you are is one of the prerequisites for finding balance, peace, happiness, and control in your life. For example, until you know what a car is, and have some idea about how it operates, you are more of a danger than you are in control. Your mind, body, and spirit - and the relationship between them - is much more complex than a car - but much simpler, too.

Overcoming Fear Of Flying Quickly And Easily With EFT
[Travel-and-Leisure:Airline-Travel] If you are afraid of flying, you already know the problems this fear can cause - as well as the very real burden and cost of this fear. Approximately 40% of all air travelers suffer from some degree of fear of flying; and many of them must fly anyway - coping with their fears the best they can. The good news is that there is a simple technique anyone can learn and use that could completely eliminate your fear of flying in minutes!

The Law of Attraction and Mundane Concerns
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Concerns are thoughts, worries, or situations that give rise to thoughts and worries. The word, "mundane," simply means, "Worldly," "common," or "commonplace." The concept of "mundane concerns" should interest anyone interested in the Law of Attraction for the simple reason that our concerns are thoughts; and thoughts are at the heart of attraction. If, in other words, you get what you think about, it is your mundane concerns causing your mundane life. And we do get what we think about - in one way or another.

Law Of Attraction And EFT - Changing How, And What, You're Attracting
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] If you can't seem to get the things you want in life, it might be tempting to say, "This 'Law-of-Attraction-thing' just doesn't work for me!" Unless you want to remain unfulfilled and discontent, you need to realize something: The Law of Attraction isn't a thing that either works or not; the Law of Attraction is just one way of explaining how and why you attract the things you do. Take a look around you; that's the environment your thoughts either created or put you in. Our thoughts determine and define our experience in more ways than one.

How Can EFT Help Me Lose Weight?
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] Gary Craig's Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT, have helped millions of people remove the underlying mental and emotional charges that have been keeping them unhealthy, unhappy, and overweight. Fears, phobias, allergies, self-esteem and body-image issues, are just some of the problems that could be causing unwanted weight gain and retention; and, EFT is incredibly effective at moderating or eliminating these types of disruptions to you normal expression and life.

Weight Loss - Think Thin, Be Healthy - EFT Can Help
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] In a new study published in the American Journal of Public Health, researchers found that people felt healthier if they were satisfied with their weight; and, the more dissatisfied they felt, the less healthy they felt - no matter how much they weighed. But how important is it that we "feel" healthy; and how can we change the way we think and feel?

Losing Weight with EFT
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] One of the best ways to gain weight and keep it is to think that you're overweight. Unless you love the thought of being overweight, simply thinking that you're too fat, or too heavy, is enough to activate your stress response. And stress, as you probably already know, is what really creates excess body fat. The good news is that you can quickly eliminate stress with Gary Craig's Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT.

HCG Diet on The Morning Show - Not The Best Way to Health and Fitness
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] I recently wrote and posted an article about the HCG diet as discussed on The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet. This article received a great deal of attention in a very short period of time. I imagine most of these web site "hits" are from people who are anxiously seeking a way they can find the "quick-fix" they heard about on The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet, and not people who want to hear that HCG, like any other diet remedy or program, is a potentially harmful route to take that may or may not generate some results that may or may not last - because they may or may not help you experience a shift in your world-view, self-image, and belief systems.

Happiness Is A Chemical Imbalance
[Self-Improvement:Happiness] Happiness is a chemical imbalance? Sounds crazy, huh? Well, it is; and it isn't. You see, the medical community has been telling us for years that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance; yet, for all their chemicals, they haven't been able to balance the scales. The plain and simple truth is that, if depression did start with chemistry, then chemistry would correct it in every case; and it doesn't.

Law of Attraction - Unlocking the Power of Prayer
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] If you are talking about using your mind to get what you want in life, you are either talking about the Law of Attraction, or Prayer. Of course, whether you are talking about Prayer or the Law of Attraction, you are really just talking about how to use your thoughts to influence or change your experience. Thinking is thinking; and, you are either doing it effectively or you're not. It doesn't matter if you say the "right" words when you pray; in order to receive what you want, it's the thought that counts.

HCG Diet on The Morning Show - Safe And Effective Or Dangerous? Does It Matter?
[Health-and-Fitness:Popular-Diets] The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet recently featured a segment on the HCG Diet - which involves injections of HCG (Human ChorioGonadotropin) Hormone and a 500-calorie per day diet regimen. As with any diet plan, there were experts on both sides of the issue; and, as with any diet discussion between experts, the point was missed - again.

Law of Attraction - Overcoming "Auto-Attraction"
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] No, this isn't about overcoming an addiction to sports cars; it's about overcoming the programs that continue to "automatically" attract things into our lives. Some people attract things and experiences into their lives intentionally - on purpose. But everyone attracts; most people simply do it automatically -- without really thinking about it.

Law of Attraction - Three-Mistakes People Make
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] If you don't think the Law of Attraction works - or works for you - you probably just don't fully understand this ancient wisdom. Even people who do claim to understand what the Law of Attraction is still make a few very common mistakes. Mistakes, where the Law of Attraction is concerned, are merely mis-perceptions - or, perceptions that don't give you quite the "view" you were hoping for.

The Law of Attraction Works Whether You Make It or Not
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Life is as easy as you allow it to be, or as difficult as you make it. Notice that we must make (create, or force them to be) things difficult. We must put extra energy into things in order to get resistance and stress in return. To simply relax and allow life to unfold for you is indeed the easiest, most natural thing to do. As this process runs its course, you can choose to get in the driver's seat and steer your own creation for a change. Just use your imagination; that is all prayer is, anyway - heartfelt imagination.

How The Law Of Attraction Can Shape Our Lives
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] The Law of Attraction is one of the hottest topics of discussion these days. Talk shows, books, seminars, and articles focusing on the Law of Attraction, and how to get what you want in life, are everywhere. But don't make the mistake of thinking of this Law as a "fad," or a passing phenomenon; the ideas we call "the Law of Attraction" are fundamental to every religion, science, and philosophy on the planet. The foundational observation of all wise men is that we are the products of our thoughts; and, with our thoughts, we create our experiences and shape our lives.

Life's Purpose is Joy
[Self-Improvement:Happiness] Life's Purpose is Joyful Expression of Itself; it must do this through a physical form - such as your body, for instance. Your purpose is to calm your mind and relax your body, and let Life do its thing. There is nothing to "find" other than your way back to Joy; your emotions will guide you there. The more joyful you feel the closer to your true path you are; the less joyful you feel, the farther you have wandered off course. Follow your heart and you will find joy; follow your bliss and you will find your heart.

Prayer And the Law of Attraction
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] How do you get what you want? Do you pray for it, or do you wish for it; or, do you just think about it until you get an inspiration to do something? And, what's the difference between praying, thinking, wishing, hoping, dreaming, or planning? When we pray for something and get it, how is that different from using the Law of Attraction? And, when we pray for something and don't get it, what's going on?

The Law of Attraction is Not a Tool
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] The Law of Attraction is not a tool; it is simply a way of explaining the way the attractive force seems to operate - the way things and events seem to appear and unfold. When you hear someone exclaim, "The Law of Attraction doesn't work!" what you are actually hearing is their way of saying, "I don't understand, or know how to use, the Law of Attraction!" But the truth is that they are using the Law of Attraction; even though most people don't truly understand it - we are all attracting. And we're attracting all the time - whether we know what we're doing or not.

Belief Is The Key To The Law of Attraction
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] If there is something you wish to be, do, have, or otherwise experience, you need only keep your thoughts on it until you begin to believe in the possibility of this thing becoming a reality for you. Once you believe in your dream, a chain of new events begins to unfold for you.

Law of Attraction - How Do You Do It?
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Books like The Secret, and other books about the Law of Attraction, have generated a great deal of curiosity, and an equal measure of frustration. The curiosity is natural; everyone has a built-in drive to want to learn more or make things better - life seeks growth. The frustrations, however, are equally natural. It can be quite difficult learning what amounts to a completely new way of thinking for most people; but don't give-up. If you keep reading, studying, or searching - with an open mind -- one of the many explanations of the Law of Attraction will eventually "click" for you; and, what was once confusing will become so natural you'll wonder how you didn't see it sooner.

Law of Attraction Rewards Persistence and Patience
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] You've probably heard the saying, "Persistence pays;" and everyone knows that "Patience is a virtue." But what do these things have to do with the Law of Attraction? Persistence and patience may sound like opposites; but, with the Law of Attraction, they both could lead to exactly the same outcome.

Prayer and The Law of Attraction
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] I know you've heard that you can have, do, or be anything you want -- if you just know the secret. I know it can be frustrating hearing that over and over, all the while thinking that it's just not working for you. Don't let the terminology throw you; whether you call it, "prayer," "the Law of Attraction," "wishing," "dreaming," or whatever, the bottom line is that we all think about the things we want until we experience some version of them. And the "thinking" part is the key element in bringing our desires into our experience.

The Best Diet Plan Ever - Don't Diet
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] It's no secret that diet plans simply don't work. So why are they still so popular? Why is there a new one every day? Part of the answer to that question is in the title of this article - a promise of something good or better. There is only one way to permanently get rid of excess fat; and dieting ain't it.

Law of Attraction - Overcoming Fear
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Many people think that because they aren't getting what they want, the Law of Attraction doesn't work, or that it doesn't work for them. This is simply not the case. You are always creating or attracting - as long as you are aware of your own existence, this will be the case. What you attract is based on two-things: What you're thinking about; and, how intensely you feel when thinking about it. To reliably attract the things you want - instead of the things you don't want - you just have to overcome or release your fear.

Attracting Prosperity - 4 Tips for Changing the Way You Think About Money
[Self-Improvement:Abundance-Prosperity] Attracting prosperity is easier than you might think - unless, of course, you've never been prosperous before. In other words, some of the people who are trying to use the Law of Attraction to bring themselves money already know what it's like to have money; they have just decided to try and attract more money than they've had before - in which case, more of what has already worked may be in order. But what about people who aren't already prosperous? How do they attract money?

Law of Attraction and The "Smiley-Factor"
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] What if you decided to use the Law of Attraction to attract a large sum of money; and, after a long wait that almost made you give up hope, you received a very large sum of money in the mail -- but it was an inheritance from a favorite relative? In order to protect yourself from the "unseen downside" of attraction, always remember to use the "smiley-factor."

Form Follows Thought - "Don't Look at the Rock!"
[Self-Improvement] There are many wisdom teachings that tell us we get what we focus our attention on. Sayings such as, "Seek and ye shall find," remind us that form follows thought and we get what we're looking for. So, don't look for trouble, or you just might find it; and don't think about things you really don't want to experience.

Opposites Don't Attract
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] There is a small segment of people who argue that The Law of Attraction is a fantasy based on what they call, "Bad Science;" and that "Coulomb's Law" clearly states that "opposites attract." Coulomb's Law is not the same as The Law of Attraction; and doesn't really apply to the process of creating your reality. An open mind, a clear head, and a bit of common sense is all it takes to effectively work with the natural laws we collectively call The Law of Attraction.

The Law Of Attraction And Your Thoughts
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] The Law of Attraction isn't a "thing" that works for some people and not for others; nor is it something that works sometimes, but not at other times. The Law of Attraction is simply a way of explaining, or putting into words, what happens with your thoughts -- and where our physical reality seems to come from, or how it appears to unfold. The Law of Attraction, in other words, is all about your thoughts and what they do; and they were "doing" it long before anyone decided to hang a name on the phenomenon.

Attracting Love - Using The Law Of Attraction To Find Love
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Everyone needs love; and, at some level, we all want it. But, these days, most people seem to be "looking for love in all the wrong places!" What is love, and where do we find it? Or, better yet, how can we use The Secret, or The Law of Attraction, to bring love to us?

Lose Weight By Changing The Way You Breathe
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] In case you haven't heard by now, the quickest way to lose weight isn't diets, exercise, or fat-free foods; it's relaxation -- specifically mental relaxation. When you are relaxed, you are not stressed; and it is the stress response that causes the production and storage of fat. Breathing properly is not only necessary to burn fat, but it is also a powerful signal to your brain and body that, "All is well." The biggest weight-loss secret of all is simply to, "Relax; and breathe easy!"

Change Your Life By Choosing New Thoughts
[Self-Improvement:Techniques] We are all experiencing life as a series of thoughts, feelings, actions, events, and perceptions; our only input in this cycle is in choosing the thoughts we think. If you want to change any part of your life, you need only choose new thoughts about that part of your life -- and continue to think about those things in a more and more positive way. Changes may be gradual; but you cannot think different thoughts without creating some change. If you think differently, change is assured.

Law of Attraction - Attracting What You Want
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] You can be, do, and have anything you can figure out how to be, do, or have -- and you can experience any experience you can attract. There are only two components to Attracting What You Want: Attracting; and, What You Want. Learning "attraction," and identifying your "desires," is the only way to regularly and reliably experience the things you wish to experience.

Spirituality Simplified
[Book-Reviews:Spirituality-Religion] Spirituality Simplified, by author Jeff Maziarek, is an excellent resource for spiritual seekers, and the perfect guide for anyone curious about, or new to, the spiritual path. With dozens of excerpts from top authors such as, Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle, Anthony DeMello, Neale Donald Walsch, Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford, and Alan Cohen, among many others, Spirituality Simplified offers a comprehensive road map to the spiritual path.

What Kind of Days Are You Attracting?
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Do you wake-up in the morning dreading the day, or looking forward to it? Do you tell yourself, "It's going to be a great day;" or, "Great, it's another crappy day! Why did I even bother waking-up?" The way you approach your day, and the kinds of things you say about your day, and your experiences, determine a great deal of what you will experience -- and the kinds of people and circumstances you attract.

Thinking About Attraction - There's More To Thinking Than Meets The Eye
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] There are many things to think and many ways to think about them. If you want to attract a life you love, you can't just go around thinking about the things you see and hear; you've got to think about what you don't see in order to create it for yourself.

Create the Life of Your Dreams - In Your Sleep!
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Practically anyone can conjure up the image of a child saying their prayers before going to sleep at night. Thinking about your day before getting out of bed is a variation of the same principle. Do you take the time before getting up in the morning to imagine what your day might hold for you, or plan the things you want to do? You should; they say, "A day hemmed in prayer is less likely to come unraveled." But why do so many people pray in the morning and before bedtime? Does it really matter when we pray?

Two Rules for Attracting Anything You Want - The Secret, Simplified
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] You can be, do, or have anything you want. Whether you want peace and seclusion, or fortune and fame, you can have it - if you know how to get it. The good news is that there are only two simple things you need to know. The bad news is that, no matter how simple, this wisdom will continue to elude most people. "The sick and the poor," they say, "will always be among us." But, if you can understand these two things, you don't have to be among the sick and the poor - unless you want to be.

Attract Your Desires By Visualizing Them
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Attracting your desires is as easy as imagining them - if you know how to imagine them in such a way that you can see and feel them. Learning to think "positively," and in the language of the senses, is the true secret to attracting anything your heart truly desires.

Perfectionism Preempts Progress, Peace, & Pleasure
[Self-Improvement:Motivation] In the drive to success, it can be easy to forget your purpose. We seem to get so wrapped-up in keeping-up that we forget the real reason for waking-up. Life has only one purpose; and that purpose is LIFE. In life, we can choose between progress and stagnation, peace and war; and we can choose pleasure or suffering. But choices these are; and a choice must be made. Not choosing is still a choice.

Common Sense - Follow Your Heart to the Right Answer
[Self-Improvement:Innovation] We commonly refer to sense, senses, or sensation, in the context of sight, hearing, touch, etc. We also use the word sense in reference to intelligence or logic. The fact is that the ears, eyes, nose, skin, and mouth/tongue, are not senses - they are "antennae," or receptors, that pick up specific types of energy or vibration. Sensing is a function of the brain and nervous system - the perception and processing of the information detected by the so-called "sense organs." Sense, in other words, is "what you have in your head."

3-Reasons The Secret Isn't "Working for You"
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] The Law of Attraction isn't a "tool" that can be used by choice; it is a way of describing a phenomenon that is always in operation. If "The Secret" doesn't seem to be working for you, maybe you should consider that it is working, but not attracting exactly what you want. Here are some reasons why you are attracting what you are attracting, instead of what you want to be attracting.

Heal Yourself With Water - The Water Cure
[Health-and-Fitness:Alternative] Most people have figured out by now that medicine does not cure disease. Medicine isn't necessarily bad; it just isn't necessary. Do not let your fear of disease make you forget that humanity wasn't exactly dying off when pharmaceutical companies saw a financial opportunity and exploded onto the scene. You need to know the facts; then, if you still choose to be ill, it will truly be a "free choice," and not one born of the absence of awareness. Until you are properly hydrated and oxygenated, you have absolutely no way of knowing what is causing your pain and illness, regardless of what you have been told about your health up to this point. You are water. You have a choice. What kind of ending do you want for your story?

Heal Yourself With Your Mind and a "Spoon Full of Sugar" - Placebos and the Mind-Body Connection
[Health-and-Fitness:Mind-Body-Spirit] A line from a famous song reassures us that, "A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down...in the most delightful way." But could the sugar itself be the medicine? Placebo studies show us that "a spoon full of sugar," and a little faith, could be as real a cure as any prescription drug.

Eliminate Stress - Eliminate Illness
[Self-Improvement:Stress-Management] What do you think happens when you hate your job, or your spouse, or your kids, or your house? Did you know you get sick - literally? It's true; and it always has been. In fact, your emotions are simply a signal to you that your body is not where it wants to be, or where you want it to be. If you don't listen, or change your perspective, you get sick - simple as that. Change your mind - change your health...

Have Fun Failing - It's the Quickest Way to Success!
[Self-Improvement:Innovation] We have all heard sayings like, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade;" but what if you don't like lemonade? The obvious answer is, "Sell the lemonade and buy something you DO like with your profits;" but that doesn't work if you're stuck whining about the lemons. To move forward in life, we must stop looking at the past -- at what life HAS given us -- and look toward the future. If life has given you failure, life has also moved you one step closer to success.

How Do I Make "The Secret" Work for Me?
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] The Secret is simple: You get what you think about. But, thinking is not so simple; and there is much more to the story of successfully manifesting your dreams. All of the teachers of The Secret have "secret" tools that help make these concepts work more effectively for them than they seem to for others. Here are some things you need to know if you want The Law of Attraction to work "for you," rather than "against you."

Ten-Important Keys to a Happy, Healthy, and Content Life
[Self-Improvement:Happiness] There are many paths to happiness; and if you have found one that works, you have most likely found your own "right" path. But, if you are still seeking happiness, there are certain elements of thought, word, and action, anyone can cultivate, nurture, or develop in order to create a life of peace, happiness, health, and contentment. Below is a list of Ten-Important Keys to creating a happy life; if you could master any one of them, you'd be well on your way to a life of happiness. But, simply considering the ideas on this list will change the way you look at the world -- and the way the world looks back at you.

6-Easy Weight-Loss Secrets
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] Life should be simple. Period. There were people living here -- and thriving -- long before complicated medical problems and advanced technologies. It seems obvious that, as times and people changed, we became less and less active -- becoming more and more overweight. This isn't necessarily the whole story, however. There is much more to the story of our country's recent foray into fatness; but the solutions, believe it or not, can be surprisingly simple. Give these things some thought; and then, if you're inspired, give them a try.

Knowing Your Job, Doing "Your Part"
[Self-Improvement:Motivation] Whether you think your successes are coming from your own hard-work, or if you think they are Divinely inspired and delivered, you'll find that your job in the process is the same either way. If, for some reason, you find that you are not enjoying your experience, it is up to you to take steps to change your experience. You can learn to enjoy where you are; or you can learn whatever you need to learn in order to begin "co-creating" a more enjoyable experience for yourself.

Moving Forward Means Never Looking Back
[Self-Improvement:Innovation] Innovation means progress, new visions and ideas -- moving forward. Forward progress is essential in life and business. If you aren't moving, you're stuck; and if you aren't growing, you're dying. But forward progress also means leaving things behind and moving on; moving forward means not looking back.

New Solutions Require New Ideas - Three Keys to Nurturing Innovation
[Self-Improvement:Innovation] "If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always got." We've all heard this; but how many of us shun things because they are "different," or new? In this world, change is the only thing that is certain; progress, or improvement, are not necessarily guaranteed. How well you create and respond to the changes in your life, business, or relationships, will determine your results in any pursuit.

Innovation that Never Happened
[Self-Improvement:Innovation] A human -- any human -- is a doorway between worlds. We stand between the invisible world of the mind -- a world of ideas and dreams -- and the world of unfolded physical "realities." Those things we see in the mind we can bring forth into reality; this is where cell phones, computers, and superconductors come from. Any employee can notice something that costs money that doesn't need to be spent, or think of an easier, more effective and cost-efficient way of doing a particular task. And anyone, in a burst of inspired insight, can invent anything imaginable.

Are You Killing Yourself with Your Own Words?
[Self-Improvement:Innovation] Do you smoke, or eat chocolate, or drink sodas, or indulge in some other "consumptive" activity you think might be bad for you? Do you actually talk about the things you are doing as if they are bad and causing you harm? Have you seen someone smoking a cigarette and heard them say, "Yeah, I know it's killin' me... But I love these 'cancer-sticks!'" or something similar? Or have you caught yourself remorsefully reporting -- with a mouthful of brownie and ice cream -- how this dessert is going straight to your butt? Well, you might not be surprised to find that you are right; but you might be surprised to learn how many of those problems you are actually causing with your words, and not your actions.

Weight Loss - It's All In Your Head!
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] Most people look at fat, or unwanted weight, as a problem that has "attached" itself to them -- a problem that came from the outside and can be "attacked" and solved from the outside. This approach has proven disastrous for many -- all, in fact, but those who experienced a mental, or spiritual, shift during their "mechanical" efforts to lose weight. Fat can be burned-off as fuel; but, unless you remove the underlying reason your body produced the fat in the first place, it will always come back with a vengeance.

New Approaches to Old Problems - 10-Things to Consider if You're "Stuck"
[Self-Improvement:Innovation] When faced with "immovable objects," or problems, many people immediately grab a blunt-instrument and start banging away on what they consider to be the "obvious" problem - which is usually someone else, or something outside of them. If you take an honest look at the things you are carrying around with you, you just might find the answer to your problem was closer than you thought - just outside of your awareness. Try a new approach to old problems; try looking "inside" for the answers to your problems - it's the last place most people look.

Weight Loss Secrets Of A Suburban Monk
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] During a period of intense personal and spiritual growth, I watched 55-pounds disappear from my body as I went from a weight I had hovered around for a few years, to my ideal weight -- which I have easily maintained for the past several years -- with absolutely no effort! I do what I want, eat what I want -- when I want -- and do not worry about my weight, or working out.

Weight Loss - The Single Most Important Thing You Need To Know About Fat
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] No matter what you do in life, your thoughts are of primary importance. When diets don't work, it's because our thinking isn't properly aligned to make them work. The single most important thing you need to know about Weight Loss is simply this: It's the thought that counts!

Losing Weight by Drinking Water
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] It's true; you can lose weight just by drinking water. And to think about all that money I've spent on commercial diet-beverages with chemicals added to them in order to make the other chemicals taste better - when I could've had a glass of water... As obvious as it may seem that drinking water is better than drinking sodas, the truth is so much greater. Water is practically a miracle weight-loss drug - for more reasons than you can imagine.

Happiness - 5 Steps To Happiness Now
[Self-Improvement:Happiness] You are always flowing happiness; and you are almost always resisting most of it - "slowing" it down until it looks like some other emotion. You need only "turn off" the energy-drains, or stop the energy-leaks in your system, release the things that are using-up your life and giving you nothing in return, and release your resistance to letting you true nature flow freely, in order to feel happy and free. And that's what we all want. Here are 5-Keys to letting happiness flow freely in your life...

Tuning-In To Your Dreams - It's The Thought That Counts
[Self-Improvement] If you are looking to create better and better experiences for yourself, you need to keep learning more and more about how you work, and how your life unfolds for you. The ancient ones tell us that it is done to us according to our thoughts and beliefs. How are you thinking? Are you producing the results you desire, or are you at peace knowing that your results are forthcoming? Or, are you filled with doubt and skepticism - and a scattered mind? If your mind is cluttered, you need to learn to stop "channel-surfing" with your thoughts and control your attention. Thoughts create your world and experience; and thoughts shape your health and body. It's worth learning how to think more positively and effectively; because, after all, it's the thought that counts.

5-Simple Steps to Happiness Now
[Self-Improvement:Happiness] Everyone is seeking happiness. This is a truth that supports the food, drug, entertainment, self-help, retail, automotive, and every other industry. People are seeking happiness; and, when they can't find it, they seek to escape their discomfort. Of course, there are those who are seeking happiness through misery; and some who are miserable no matter what they do - but happiness is the ultimate point. And happiness is right here, right now -- not someplace else, or some time in the future. Here are five simple steps to happiness now...

Be Of Good Cheer - Maintain Positive Health With A Positive Attitude
[Self-Improvement:Positive-Attitude] Throughout human history, all manner of problems and illness have been solved and cured with the power of positive thinking. All philosophies, religions, and even science and medicine, agree that there are very real, immediate, and measurable benefits to thinking positively. Your thoughts have the power to heal or kill.

Losing Weight With Prayer
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] The unwanted weight we gain and store is the result of stress and the stress response. Prayer helps us lose weight in a number of ways. Prayer can help you lose weight by reducing stress, stimulating healing, and helping you establish a new self-image.

Your Words Are Your Wishes - Use Them Wisely
[Self-Improvement:Innovation] You need only look around to see a world full of people with varying degrees of understanding and ability; some of whom are able to convert their dreams into physical reality while the rest simply receive varying degrees of what they do and do not want - but they always receive some version of what they are thinking. If you understand this wisdom, your life will be transformed before your very eyes!

When Things Just Won't Seem to Work, Let-go and Let Them
[Self-Improvement:Positive-Attitude] There seems to be a million different self-help, self-improvement, and life-enhancement books and programs out there; and oftentimes, none of them seem to work. As long as people have talked about the power of positive thinking, there have been people who have said, "Bah-humbug! This doesn't work!" Have you ever wondered what makes a cynical scrooge an expert on positive thinking?

Get In-Sync With Your Dreams
[Self-Improvement:Positive-Attitude] Is there something you want? Do you have a dream that you would like to see come true? Do you have a prayer that you would like answered? Most people want something; though many don't seem to know what that "something" is. Unfortunately, our "external" focus has most people thinking that "something" we are looking for is an actual "thing;" and most people spend most of their time looking to their outer world for guidance and behavioral cues -- not pursuing their desires, but following "collective directives." By "collective directives," I mean those messages we receive from "them." We are, as a culture, bombarded by words, messages, signs, voices, and images -- all telling us what to do. Our collective consciousness is full of limitations that were dreamed-up, decided upon, printed-up, and put into action by a very small group of people who don't follow those same rules, or observe the same boundaries and limitations. We believe, collectively, what we are told -- collectively. And we typically do what we are told, as well. Most do, anyway... But some still dream.

The Secret to Happiness
[Self-Improvement:Happiness] When we speak of the Great Secret of Life, we are speaking of what some call the Law of Attraction; but others simply quote Jesus, or the prophets of the Old Testament, and say that the Secret to Life is: "As a man thinketh, so is he." Regardless of what you call it, we create our experience in our minds - with our thoughts, or prayers.

Your Word is Your Wand
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Have you ever heard the old saying, "Be careful what you ask for...?" How about some of the more "biblical" sayings, like: "Declare a thing and it is so," "Ask and you shall receive," or "In the beginning, there was the word..." You could make a very long list of sayings and teachings from all ages, cultures, traditions, and regions, that all say essentially the same thing -- Your word is your wand.

Mental Equivalents
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] For every formed thing in this Universe, there is a "mental equivalent." Mental Equivalents are simply the mental images, or mental versions, of our desires; they are the thoughts and images from which we build our desires - or with which we find our desires. For everything you wish to create for yourself, or attract to yourself, there is a mental equivalent. Have you built a mental equivalent for the thing you most desire?

I Can Make You Thin and You Can, Too!
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] The Learning Channel (TLC) is airing a series featuring world-famous hypnotherapist and life-coach, Paul McKenna, as he introduces people to the mind-body connection and new Energy Psychology techniques designed to restore calm in the mind and body by quieting the nervous system and turning-off the stress response. The program is called, "I can make you thin!" and it promises to be quite a hit. But can watching television really make you lose weight? If you pay attention, it just might...

The Law of Attraction - Magical, or Practical, Your Job is the Same
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] The Secret has brought world-wide attention to the "Law of Attraction." Millions and millions of people were dying to know "The Secret;" and many of them were amazed and pleased to learn about the creative power of their own thoughts. Some, however, were very disappointed and even angered and upset by some of the teachings in The Secret - calling them, "Materialistic, Narcissistic, Mean-spirited, Pie-in-the-sky, Wishful thinking, Un-spiritual," and a long list of other judgments and criticisms. It seems some are looking for magic while others search for practicality; but, with The Law of Attraction, we find both.

Making "The Secret" Work - Eliminate Limiting Beliefs And Negative Thinking
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Thinking about what we want is indeed natural; and that isn't really the secret to getting it. The Secret is in HOW you think about what you want. The Secret is always working; but until you replace any limiting experiences, programming, traumas, etc, with more positive thought-patterns, you will continue "attracting," or being drawn to, conditions, events, situations, things, and people, that mostly match, support, or sustain your current mental and emotional state. Thinking positively about what you want is indeed the key; but the REAL secret is how to go about creating a shift in your thinking and thought-patterns, or habits. Some people are naturally born with a positive outlook; while others receive "enlightenment" spontaneously - in a "flash." But now, there is another way to shift your thinking and perspectives from negative to positive.

Improve Your Health With The Power Of A Thought
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Thanks to science and medicine, we can better understand the mechanism and pathway through which our thoughts create our bodies, health, and lives. Based on these findings, we can observe a sort of "Belief Formula" which can be reliably applied to help us create more of what we want and less of what we don't want.

Creating Your Experience with Affirmative Thought
[Self-Improvement:Affirmations] Affirmations are simply positive, or affirmative, statements of truth. The tricky part is that the truth of the affirmation need not be a "present reality;" it can be a future reality you truly wish to create. By declaring this future reality in positive, definite terms, you are tasking your conscious and unconscious mind with finding this new reality.

Create Your Reality - Experience Self
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Who created your life as it is? Who filled out that job application, or enlisted you in the military? Did you ask for the relationship you are in, or did you say, "Yes" to it?

The Secret To Turning Resolutions Into Realities
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] It is believed that the Babylonians were the first to make New Year's resolutions. Many early religious traditions, including Christianity, used this time of year to reflect on past mistakes and set better intentions for the coming year. But no matter what time of year it is, you are still right there between your past and future -- continuously learning from the past and creating the future. The middle of winter -- the depth of the "death" season -- provides the perfect setting and opportunity to reflect on what has been, and contemplate what is yet to come.

Attracting Disaster - "The Thing I Greatly Feared"
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] In the Old Testament is a story of a man called Job. In this story, his thinking - which had in the past brought him great prosperity - turned negative; and as a result, he lost a great deal of what he had accumulated. His friends came and cheered him up, telling him that he knew better than to think negatively; "That's the kind of thinking which causes these kinds of things in the first place," they reminded him. Job realized that it was those things which he greatly feared which had come upon him. One can not greatly fear a thing if they do not greatly think of that thing.

Thinking About Thinking
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] What if "As a man thinketh, so is he..." really means that what you think determines who and what you are? And, what if "As you believe in your heart, so it is done unto you..." means that what you believe is going to happen will really happen? What if Albert Einstein was right when he said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge;" basically restating the same ancient wisdom? And is it possible that Henry Ford, when he said, "If you think you can or think you can't, you're right!" was essentially saying the same thing? Ernest Holmes put this same principle in these words: "Thoughts are things."

The Greatest Discovery Ever!
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] The greatest discovery you will ever make is not a wooden chest filled with gold coins, or the true location of Noah's ark, or a new species of plant or animal, or anything of the sort. The greatest discovery a person could ever make is the discovery of the potential of their own mind.

Call It "Failure" If You Must But Embrace It Nonetheless
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Failure lets you know that you are out of your comfort zone -- a great place to be -- or that you are not paying attention to what you're doing -- a great thing to know. In either case, failure is a valuable friend you should embrace. I do not mean that you should seek to fail, or strive to fail; but you should indeed try things that you are not already good at -- and practice grace when you don't immediately succeed.

The Role of the Heart in Creating your Reality
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] We casually say things like, "I believe it with all my heart," or, "I know it in my heart;" but we rarely consider the literal reality of these sayings -- or why there are so many of them, or why they endure through time. We talk about the heart almost metaphorically -- or completely metaphorically; but few people realize that the heart is actually a "THINKING" organ. This is no metaphor; this is a literal, scientific, medical fact -- and a timeless spiritual truth. The head (brain) thinks; the heart KNOWS.

The Heart Is The Source Of Desire - Desire Is The Reason For Prayer
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] The heart is the source of our desires. As we become aware of our desires, we begin thinking about them; and thus begins a process which is designed to bring us together with our desires -- a process which begins and ends in the heart.

Three-Secrets To Making The Secret Work For You
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Everyone loves a secret; that's one of the things that made the book and DVD, "The Secret," so popular. Everyone wants to know the "Secret." People naturally want things to be better; and they want to know how to do that. That's why "How-to," and, "Self-Help" books are so popular. And if there's a Secret that can do the trick for me, tell me the Secret!

You Get What You're Looking For
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] "Seek and you will find," is a very old, and very well-known wisdom teaching that explains a critical element of the Law of Attraction -- searching in your mind for something you want, or directions to get, or get to, something you want. Our perceptions and beliefs filter and affect what and how we see; and what we see is what we get!

The "Mind-Booty" Connection
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] This article looks at the Mind-Body Connection as it applies to the production and storage of unwanted weight -- hence the "Mind-Booty" Connection. This article explains and clarifies some of the basic misunderstandings about why we gain weight and why we keep it. When you understand this, you'll understand why diets don't work, and why you don't need to diet in order to create a healthy, fit body.

The Secret to Weight Loss - Shed Pounds by Shedding Thoughts
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] Your body is an extension of your mind. If you have excessive "junk-thoughts" in your mind, you will invariably be storing excessive "junk in your trunk," as they say. Stress causes weight gain and retention; and stress is caused by excessive thinking, or thinking about potential problems. The quickest way to free yourself from excess weight is to free yourself from excess thoughts. Free your mind, free your body.

Change your Perception, Change your Reality
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Our perceptions affect our thoughts; but our thoughts are built up out of our perceptions. This article looks at the nature of what we perceive and how those perceptions create our experience of reality -- and how we can change our reality at any time by simply changing our perceptions.

How I Lost 55lbs With the Power of Prayer
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] This is an article about the change in thinking I underwent in order to quickly lose 55-pounds without doing any of the traditional weight-loss methods. By changing my thoughts, and keeping them positive always, I was able to allow a new reality to unfold -- a reality that includes quick, easy, and permanent weight-loss.

What Luck For Rulers That Men Do Not Think
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] We have a powerful gift in our ability to think and believe. But if we do not learn how to use that gift, others can use it against us -- or for their own agenda. Learning to think effectively, however, can set you free. Our thoughts aren't always ours; but they're always creative!

Practical Prayer - How She Got A New Job
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] This is an account of how a woman reversed her situation at work and ended up with what she wanted and more -- a new job, a new desk, and a new supervisor. All she did was use the Law of Attraction and the Power of Prayer.

The Secret To Getting A New Car - Use The Belief Formula
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] This is a story about how my niece used The Law of Attraction & The Belief Formula to manifest a new jeep for herself. This is a perfect example of how we can get exactly what we want in a variety of surprising ways.

What Do You Want?
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Life is all about desire. The only reason we are here (or still here...), in fact, is because we want to be here -- or someone wants us to be here. The word "desire" may sound materialistic or self-indulgent; and we often shun the idea of desire -- trying to suppress it whenever we can -- as something bad that we shouldn't have or succumb to.

Bless Your Heart!
[Self-Improvement:Stress-Management] All my life I have heard people use the phrase, "Bless your heart!" Not so much recently, but when I was younger, it seemed like all the older people said it; so much so, in fact, that it lost any real meaning to me. "Bless your heart" was a little like saying, "Hello," or "Goodbye," when using the telephone; it was just one of those phrases "old people" used frequently - and automatically, in certain situations.
