Relationships: Relationship Building & Management

We're All in this Together

Nancy Gerber, Our official Relationship Expert says:

During tough times, the best way to make it through and survive until things get better has always been to collaborate and cooperate with others. It's one of the most admirable traits of our species.

Even if you're sensible enough to stay away from the overwhelming US media coverage, there's as much fear in the air these days as there was just after 9/11.

Self Confidence Strategy Number One: Do What You Say You’re Going To Do

Kim Fulcher, Our official Coaching for Women Expert says:

How many times have you made a promise to yourself; perhaps to exercise, to eat well, or to start a new project, only to find that (for one reason or another) you had to break your commitment? In these moments you likely rationalized your change of plans; someone needed your support, or something more urgent came up, and you went about supporting everyone (and everything) else in your life -- except you.

I have a truth for you. Every time you fail to follow through on a promise you've made to yourself you chip away at your self confidence.

Homeschooling : The Simple Secret to Improving Reading Comprehension

Lisa Preston, Our official Email Marketing Expert says:

Improving reading comprehension is the primary way to accelerating your child's learning. The number one question I'm asked when it comes to homeschooling and helping children learn is "How can I help my child move ahead in reading?"

We all want our children to develop accelerated reading skills so they can enjoy higher levels of learning. Plus, skilled readers have an easier time learning overall. No wonder parents' number one academic concern revolves around improving their child's reading abilities.

"Do not seek perfection in a changing world. Instead perfect your love." --Master Sengstan

Charlotte, a forty five year old computer analyst lived in fear, trapped in a prison cell of negative thoughts. As she learned how to calm down and focus on the present moment she described how good it felt to do something as simple as get a big whiff of the grass in her yard. Like many people who experience anxiety or panic, Charlotte could not enjoy the world around her. She often focused on fearful thoughts, which made things worse.

Motorcyclist Gets Big Spiritual Lesson

Dr. Neill Neill, Our official Overcoming Alcoholism Expert says:

Have you ever taken a mental picture that you know you'll never forget? Sometimes life delivers a lesson, an image, a jolt that makes such a profound impression that it lasts a lifetime. This is a story of a simple act of generosity over 30 years ago that indelibly impacted me, materially and spiritually.

This past November I was heading from Vancouver Island to California on my motorcycle for a 3-day training workshop. All the early-winter storms seemed to be happening elsewhere, leaving me with decent weather for my journey.

Say YES to Yourself By Knowing How to Say NO

Nancy Gerber, Our official Relationships Expert says:

Many of my coaching clients and workshop participants struggle with taking consistent action toward their most important goals. These are already successful people who assume that, in order to succeed, they need to simply "find more time" -- to somehow squeeze just a few more minutes, one more hour out of their already overcrowded warp speed lives.

Unconsciously, automatically, we tend to say "yes" to nearly every request made of us.
