Your thoughts will either spiral you upward and assist you in feeling good or if they are not kept in balance they will spiral you downward, and make you feel not so good. On a particular morning this summer I experienced a series of small events that could of put me into a downward spiral if I had left my mind have a party at my expense. My first challenge that morning was when I checked my e-mails indicating that the site I was sending folks to in order to view a video – had no video. I thought that was rather curious so I checked the hosting site where I discovered that not only was the video not to be found, but that furthermore my account was no longer valid and all of my videos were gone.

Many athletes are reactive in their emotions and therefore placing control of their results outside of themselves. If you have ever said “I am anxious (or any state) because “event’ happened” then you have been reactive. I was working with a golfer and I was asking him to think about his confidence levels. And every time he stepped up for a hole, I asked him, “What’s your confidence right now, out of 10?” And it would be either a seven, seven and a half, or six or something, and he always gave a reason.

In many ways, the world we live in is more focused on the negative than the positive. Just turn on the TV or read the newspaper to again hear or read about the bad taking place. We know that to succeed, we must concentrate on the positive, as that is what will take us forward towards accomplishing our goals. So how are we as imperfect human beings to emphasize our strengths and manage our weaknesses to achieve success? We are most productive when working in the areas of our strengths. We will accomplish the most in terms of volume with the highest level of quality doing something we are naturally good at, or something in which we have a high level of interest. Since we know it takes a certain amount of effort to complete a task or goal,

It's that time of year again for New Years resolutions. We've all heard that key to a successful life, career, or business means having setting and achieving goals. Make goals. Post goals.

Every woman, regardless of her size, has body image issues. But this is especially true for plus-size women.

It's all about maturity, knowing and fear. Tell a six year old boy that he cannot climb a ladder and you will get an argument. The kid will know that he can climb it and he will not have considered the consequences of failure. In your absence he will try. It is immaturity that drives the six year old while ignoring the danger. So as parents many of us disempower our children by trying to instill fear into them so that they won't hurt themselves.
By the time we have reached adulthood we have been so accustomed to being disempowered that we have learned how to do it to ourselves. For the millennia that humanity has been on the planet it has matured very slowly and hasn't even scratched the surface of its potential.
