You Need to Resolve Self Defeating Habits

personal development Oct 15, 2019

Sometimes women hold onto a habit simply because it is something they have always done or how they have thought for years. An example of this would be saving money and controlling your finances but consistently blowing your budget on the spur of the moment buys.

 

You may very well think one way and even acknowledge out loud that you want to break a bad habit, but then you turn right around and give in to behaviors that sabotage your aspirations. You know what you are doing (or not doing) that holds you back from living your best life.

 

It is not easy to tackle the worst part about yourself. But if you do not acknowledge what is going on with you, you will not alter it. Recognizing that self-defeating habit is where you start.

 

Recognize how it is keeping you back from experiencing your goals. For example, if you would like to go on a nice vacation but always spend your vacation fund, you sabotage your plan.

 

Once you identify that self-defeating habit, you...

Affirmation: I Happily Know How to Write an Affirmation

It is that time of year again when millions of women are setting New Year's resolutions, in an effort to transform their lives. 

If you just take this approach, sadly, the odds are stacked against you. Chances are the resolutions you are so passionate about right now, will not last out the month. 

Instead of helping you change your life and accomplish your goals, you will soon be back into your old routines and habits. 

 

Unless you take a different approach...

This year, if you are trying to make a healthy lifestyle change, I invite you to consider an alternative- try an affirmation instead.

 

Goals are something you want to accomplish that includes taking actionable steps to achieve them.

Resolutions are statements of intent. Affirmations are statements of 'truth'.

Have you ever stopped to think about the subtle differences between those things? 

 

Setting goals mobilizes us toward grand achievements and new experiences.

A New Skill Makes Growth

personal development Oct 08, 2019

As you learn new skills, it betters you as a person. It fills you with the self-confidence that you can achieve everything you set your mind to accomplish. The skills can be something like learning how to manage your time better.

 

"In a fast-moving, competitive world, being able to learn new skills is one of the keys to success. It's not enough to be smart — you need always to be getting smarter," says Heidi Grant Halvorson, a motivational psychologist and author.

 

Many women miss chances to grow as a person because of poor time management and how stretched their day is for time. They often ignore possibilities that come their way or immediately dismiss them, thinking they cannot possibly juggle anything else.

 

Be sure the skill either solves a problem you are facing or is directly applicable to your life. Be as specific as you can. This will give you the incentive to learn the skill.

 

Here are some easy skills that every woman should learn:

Are You Sick and Tired of the Flu?

Avoid Getting Sick by Keeping Your Distance

 

There are quite a few things you can do to avoid coming down with the flu or catching one of those nasty colds this year. Yes, you can and probably should get a flu shot.

 

Get plenty of sleep, eat a healthy diet, and exercise regularly. The healthier your body, the stronger your immune system. Another important preventative measure is washing your hands. But don’t stop there.

 

 

As much as possible, keep your distance from people who are coughing and sneezing.

 
Turns out that the average cold or flu virus only travels about six feet through the air. That means if you can keep a little bit of distance between yourself and anyone that looks like they are sick, you improve your chances of staying healthy.

 

Take a different route when you see someone with glassy eyes or someone who is showing any kind of symptoms that indicate they may have a cold or the flu.

 
Of course, that is easier said than...

You'll Get Out Of Your Head Easily With Mindfulness

spirituality Oct 06, 2019

Mindfulness is utilized as a counseling and psychotherapy tool. It is usually characterized by meditation and relaxation techniques. Jon Kabat-Zinn influenced adoption of this practice, by starting Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). Comparable programs like Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) deal with anxiety and depression, boosting mental health. Mindfulness is also employed by businesses and schools to manage stress and generate creativity. 

The goal is to become more self-aware. However, this secular mindfulness encourages you to pay attention only to yourself. This contradicts Scripture’s teaching to have the mind of Christ and evaluate everything in light of our relationship with Him. So, Christians use mindfulness as a tool in a Christ-integrated way.

 

Meditation exists in Scripture in the context of spending time studying the Word of God.  " When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night...

Affirmation: On the Pursuit of Lifetime Happiness

affirmations Oct 05, 2019

Are you seeking happiness? Do you look around for someone or something to come along and make you happy? Most women have things right in front of us every day that would make us deliriously happy if only we let them. Does this describe you?

 

Happiness does not need to be created for us. It exists within us, and it is up to us to choose to be happy.

 

Happiness is achievable by anyone, so long as they want it. If you do not want to be happy, you will not be. If you wish to change your life and find the happiness you have been searching for, you can do just that!

 

A great way to find happiness each day is to permit yourself to concentrate on the positive instead of the negative. It takes training, but as soon as you come to be skilled at it, the rewards are a sheer joy!

Affirmations: Powerful Boost To The Inner Strength

life coaching Oct 03, 2019

A simple, but powerful, technique I use as a Life Coach to help women transform their lives, is affirmations. This is an excellent way of programming your brain to focus on positivity.

 

Affirmations are sentences designed to delve deep into the subconscious mind to refill the well of inner strength. As women practice these affirmations, the sentences can empower them with a deep sense of reassurance and break negative mindset patterns.

 

If a woman says affirmations, the subconscious mind recognizes them. Behavior changes take place based on how the woman then decides to live her life.

 

Affirmations influence the women who use them by causing them to react to situations, pleasant or unpleasant, with a more contented outlook. Saying an affirmation allows the woman to replenish her inner strength.

 

By connecting with the power of the subconscious mind, you can transform your life.

  • First, the affirmation impacts how you think.
  • Then, the way that you think...

Leadership Skill Results in Better Relationships

relationships Oct 02, 2019

Everyone has leadership potential. Some women are outgoing, strong leaders, while others are reserved and lead quietly. For any woman looking to progress to a management position or show their effectiveness when faced with authority, leadership skills are a must.

 

But, you need to develop your leadership potential as part of your self-improvement, not necessarily because you intend to go into leadership, but for the benefits it will bring to all of your relationships.

 

Leadership skills are connected more to the woman than it is to the role itself and, therefore, is relevant in a wide range of disciplines. Leadership is about collaborating with others, from understanding different perspectives and managing conflicts, to building good working relationships and quality teams.

 

An important skill a leader needs is to think strategically. This helps you know your strengths, recognize your weaknesses, and how to make both work for you. A...

Make Boundaries to be Happy

personal development Oct 01, 2019

Boundaries are the limits on which women live, based on what they are not willing to put up with in a place or with another person. Setting a boundary means you impose constraints on what is appropriate.

 

These constraints can refer to what you will take for your emotional and physical self. If you have a boundary, it feels a lot like self-care - since it is. It implies that you recognize that what you need to be whole and healthy is equally necessary as what others may need.

 

Boundaries safeguard your space. It means that your opinions do not vary just because someone else feels another way. Giving boundaries means saying no when something crosses the line of what is okay with you.

 

An illustration of this could be a woman who does not want to be around someone constantly creating family drama. So, she does not spend any more time with them than necessary. But, another relative thinks that behavior should be tolerated and tries to nag or belittle the woman into...
