  • Overwhelm Cure

    What follows is an excerpt from my book Bliss Or Bust: Uplifting Thoughts.

    Feeling overwhelmed is often due to thinking too far ahead and thinking about things you can’t do too much about at the moment.

    The cure for overwhelm is to reign in your focus. Switch to a general knowing that it will all work out. Allow yourself to feel comfortable and confident about where you are now in the process. Review the progress you’ve achieved through persistent small steps in the right direction at the right time.

    It can all be done so easily. Imagine the flow. Feel the momentum and the perfect timing. It’s all coming your way.

  • Key Distinctions

    What follows is an excerpt from my book Bliss Or Bust: Uplifting Thoughts.

    Personal development is an ever-evolving process of making more and better distinctions about who you are and what you want. Life is about choices and those choices accumulate to define the path of your life’s journey. You choose again and again as a normal part of daily life.

    You may not realize it, but you can even make choices each day about how you want to feel. Clarity about how you want to feel will assist you tremendously in making satisfying choices with near-perfect consistency on a day-to-day basis.

    If you decide to do something, then find yourself there unhappy, it’s good to redirect your thoughts. Find something to appreciate. Maybe the only thing to enjoy about it is that you are doing what you decided to do. You are being true to your word and previous intentions for yourself. That feels good. Focus there while you decide what you want next.

  • What Intuition Is

    What follows is an excerpt from my book Bliss Or Bust: Uplifting Thoughts.

    Think of intuition as a bridge or gateway between the physical self and the spiritual self. It delivers sudden and complete ideas in the form of intuitive flashes. Intuition can also bring subtle ideas gently presented, often through symbols and metaphors or sights and sounds noticed repeatedly. With intuition connections are made.

    Being able to tune into intuition gives a competitive advantage and makes life more enjoyable. Learning to trust intuition gives clarity and helps you recognize inspired action and perfect timing. Trusting your own intuition can help you sort through feelings and thoughts leading to an overall gain in clarity that will serve you well.

  • Helen Fisher

    I guess you could say that learning about different personality assessments has been a hobby of mine. I thought about listing them all out for you, but it gets ridiculous. Let’s just say my current favorites are my longest-studied one, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), then another couple that I think about regularly are the Holland Code Test and the Fascinate Test.

    This weekend I ran into a new assessment by a person I haven’t heard in a while, Helen Fisher. She was on The Megyn Kelly Show, and it was great to listen to her speak again. I heard her in person during sex week when I was a student at The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) back in 2000. She is an anthropologist who focuses on the evolution of sex, love, and marriage. I can recommend any of her lectures or books.

    Now she has a new personality test. It’s free online, and you don’t even need to hand over your email address. The cool thing about it is that the personality theory is based on what she calls brain systems, and they are linked to dopamine, testosterone, serotonin, and estrogen pathways.

    What an idea! Very cool. I can tell this is my next deep dive, and I wanted to share the info since I found it fascinating.

  • Indirect Method

    What follows is an excerpt from my book Bliss Or Bust: Uplifting Thoughts.

    Can you do anything about what others think of you? Should you even try? No, don’t even try, not directly anyway. Taking direct action meant to control what others think of you is a losing strategy. It puts them in the driver’s seat and you jumping through hoops.

    Instead, use the indirect method by working on your own vibration. Once you realize the power of vibing on the love side of the scale, it is easy to see the importance of managing your focus. In relationships, the one most clear of their intentions and most stable in their vibration will dominate.

    One vibing on the love side of the scale is much stronger than many vibing on the fear side of the scale. The one on the love side of the scale can be brought down by focusing too much on uplifting the others. Others can uplift themselves just the same. In fact, they are the only ones that can do it. Stand your ground and set the high vibing example.

    Make it a priority to feel your own vibration soaring for a few minutes each day. Allow the high vibe, make a space for it. Do so and you will find day-to-day interactions flowing like never before.
