Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. Making choices based on what you believe, and not what others believe.” ~ Barbara De Angelis

"Every morning you are handed 24 golden hours. They are one of the few things in this

world that you get free of charge. If you had all the money in the world, you couldn't

buy an extra hour. What will you do with this priceless treasure?" ~ Source Unknown

Career and LIfe Coaching Quote of the Day!

"As you begin to take action toward the fulfillment of your goals and dreams, you must

realize that not every action will be perfect. Not every action will produce the

desired result. Not every action will work. Making mistakes, getting it almost right,

and experimenting to see what happens are all part of the process of eventually

getting it right." ~Jack Canfield

Career and LIfe Coaching Thought of the Day!

Develop your 30-second elevator pitch. You want to be sure that you can communicate

crisply and clearly who you are, what you’ve done, and where you want to go. The

professionals you are speaking with need to be able to quickly understand your goals.

If they need to ask you a lot of questions to clarify what you want, you are wasting

their time in the conversation.

"When a goal matters enough to a person, that person will find a way to accomplish

what at first seemed impossible." -Nido Qubein

Career and LIfe Coaching Quote of the Day!

Every day is a new beginning -- Problems and mistakes of yesterday are now just

memories of a lesson learned. I absorb the energy and possibilities of each new day,

acknowledge the simple beauty that can be taken for granted, and look forward to

tomorrow's new beginning.

Career and LIfe Coaching Quote of the Day!

"Bless all that which you desire and you electrify it with energy to draw you towards

it and it towards you. The cool thing is, the closer you get the faster it moves

towards you. So go find what you want and smile upon it with positive expectancy and

joyful anticipation. Do it today mister!" - Joseph Mcclendon

Career and LIfe Coaching Quote of the Day!

“The person with a fixed goal, a clear picture of her/his desire, or an ideal always

before her/him, causes it, through repetition, to be buried deeply in her/his

subconscious mind and is thus enabled, thanks to its generative and sustaining power,

to realize their goal in a minimum of time and with a minimum of physical effort.

Just pursue the thought unceasingly. Step by step you will achieve realization, for

all your faculties and powers become directed to that end.” ~ Claude M. Bristol

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more.

If you concentrate on what you don't have, you'll never, ever have enough. - Oprah

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and

absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You

shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old

nonsense." – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Career and LIfe Coaching Thought of the Day!

Make New Habits Stick :-)

1. Commit to Thirty Days – Three to four weeks is all the time you need to make a habit automatic. If you can make it through the initial conditioning phase, it becomes much easier to sustain. A month is a good block of time to commit to a change since it easily fits in your calendar.

2. Make it Daily – Consistency is critical if you want to make a habit stick. If you want to start exercising, go to the gym every day for your first thirty days. Going a couple times a week will make it harder to form the habit. Activities you do once every few days are trickier to lock in as habits.

3. Start Simple – Don’t try to completely change your life in one day. It is easy to get over-motivated and take on too much. If you wanted to study two hours a day, first make the habit to go for thirty minutes and build on that.

4. Remind Yourself – Around two weeks into your commitment it can be easy to forget. Place reminders to execute your habit each day or you might miss a few days. If you miss time it defeats the purpose of setting a habit to begin with.

5. Stay Consistent – The more consistent your habit the easier it will be to stick. If you want to start exercising, try going at the same time, to the same place for your thirty days. When cues like time of day, place and circumstances are the same in each case it is easier to stick.

6. Get a Buddy – Find someone who will go along with you and keep you motivated if you feel like quitting.

7. Form a Trigger – A trigger is a ritual you use right before executing your habit. If you wanted to wake up earlier, this could mean waking up in exactly the same way each morning. If you wanted to quit smoking you could practice snapping your fingers each time you felt the urge to pick up a cigarette.

8. Replace Lost Needs - If you are giving up something in your habit, make sure you are adequately replacing any needs you’ve lost. If watching television gave you a way to relax, you could take up meditation or reading as a way to replace that same need.

9. Be Imperfect – Don’t expect all your attempts to change habits to be successful immediately. It took me four independent tries before I started exercising regularly. Now I love it. Try your best, but expect a few bumps along the way.

10. Use “But” – A prominent habit changing therapist once told me this great technique for changing bad thought patterns. When you start to think negative thoughts, use the word “but” to interrupt it. “I’m no good at this, but, if I work at it I might get better later.”

11. Remove Temptation - Restructure your environment so it won’t tempt you in the first thirty days. Remove junk food from your house, cancel your cable subscription, throw out the cigarettes so you won’t need to struggle with willpower later.

12. Associate With Role Models - Spend more time with people who model the habits you want to mirror. A recent study found that having an obese friend indicated you were more likely to become fat. You become what you spend time around.

13. Run it as an Experiment - Withhold judgment until after a month has past and use it as an experiment in behavior. Experiments can’t fail, they just have different results so it will give you a different perspective on changing your habit.

14. Swish - A technique from NLP. Visualize yourself performing the bad habit. Next visualize yourself pushing aside the bad habit and performing an alternative. Finally, end that sequence with an image of yourself in a highly positive state. See yourself picking up the cigarette, see yourself putting it down and snapping your fingers, finally visualize yourself running and breathing free. Do it a few times until you automatically go through the pattern before executing the old habit.

15. Write it Down – A piece of paper with a resolution on it isn’t that important. Writing that resolution is. Writing makes your ideas more clear and focuses you on your end result.

16. Know the Benefits - Familiarize yourself with the benefits of making a change. Get books that show the benefits of regular exercise. Notice any changes in energy levels after you take on a new diet. Imagine getting better grades after improving your study habits.

17. Know the Pain – You should also be aware of the consequences. Exposing yourself to realistic information about the downsides of not making a change will give you added motivation.

18. Do it For Yourself - Don’t worry about all the things you “should” have as habits. Instead tool your habits towards your goals and the things that motivate you. Weak guilt and empty resolutions aren’t enough.
