  • Workout O Phobia
    By: mark19 | - When it comes to ultimate healthiness, which always includes working out, there is a tendency to say what if. I have gone through a number of these what ifs in previous posts, but the root of them has not really been exposed. So what is it? In my estimation, its the fear of doing what's good for you-the fear of doing what's necessary to maintain and escalate your vitality!

    This is so absurd to me after 45 years of healthiness, that I can almost not write about it without smiling. Ho ...

  • Your Exhaustion Is Really Inner Critic Fear
    By: Valery Satterwhite | - Many people come to me complaining that they're tired, exhausted, unable to find balance in their life. Some have incredibly busy schedules and others live a life of casual leisure. Yet, both are exhausted. I also know people who have either busy or leisurely schedules who are not tired, they are full of energy and rarely, if ever, tire. What's the difference?

    I've discovered that those in the chronically tired camp live 'should be' lives. They fear they are not good, smart, ta ...

  • How To Overcome Your Fear Of Swimming
    By: Roseanna Leaton | - We are all born without fear of water; this fear or anxiety is something which some of us develop as we grow up. We can all remember one time or another seeing a baby happily swimming, it never having occurred to them that they may sink. To an adult, their own fear seems so silly when they watch the children around them jumping quite happily in and out of the water. And yet that fear is only too real.

    People describe their fears in different ways. Someone told me the other da ...

  • How To Slay The Fear Monger Through Creativity
    By: Valery Satterwhite | - Fear cripples creativity. Nothing new there. We've all experienced fear as we reach for inspiration, motivation and satisfaction. Fear dwells at the bottom of the pit of desperation. Fear is the lowest of lows.

  • Blocked Creatively? Here's A Get Out Of Jail Free Card
    By: Valery Satterwhite | - The most damaging restrictions on a creative person's freedom are self-imposed. What may have started out as a new idea, a new methodology, becomes routine, a habit, after awhile. Habits are the comfort zone. Once snuggled into a comfort zone there is a tendency to stay. However, this is not what a creator is here to do. Staying in a comfort zone habitually creating the same kind of thing over and over again does not feed the artist's soul. Comfort zones are safe. Comfort zones bore creative pe ...

  • Customizing Community, Public And Private Pools
    By: David Christopher | - Water Slides for a Waterpark

    The definition of a swimming pool includes: a concrete excavation filled with water and is used for swimming; this is definitely a bland definition of what a pool should be.

  • Blocked Creatively? You Might Just Be Swimming Upstream
    By: Valery Satterwhite | - Where you are in your creative expression mirrors where you are in your life flow. If you are blocked creatively it is an indication that there is a disruption in your energy flow. Something isn't working. And the harder you try to push on forward the more blocked you become.

  • A Real Estate Agent Can Learn A Lot From A Windsurfer

Virtually anyone can do it as long as they don't fear water and have decent swimming capability. Working in real estate is similar. Age and gender don't matter. As long as a person is willing to learn and doesn't fear learning and getting her f ...

  • How To Overcome Fear
    By: Sam Crowley | - There is a thin line that distinguishes fearlessness and foolishness. Those who are fearless are not afraid to try things out. They are not procrastinators and they don't shy away from facing consequences to their actions.

    Those who think they are above fear are fools. More often than not they are ill prepared for a situation and their over confidence is the main reason for their frequent failures.

    After you have recognized fear, it is time for you to look at its ...

  • Strength Training - Gives New Vision In Aging
    By: Gen Wright | - For many of us when we think of being old, our images are often ones of frailty, weakness and unhappiness. We fear aging, and as a result rather than looking forward to growing old we dread each extra candle on our birthday cake. Rather than seeing our later years as a time of growth, change, creativity, new careers, travel, hobbies, and good health we worry that our health will impair our lives so much that living a long time might be more of a curse than a blessing.

Triathlons have become the competitive mark of a great athlete, especially among amateurs and semi-pros. It's impressive to people when someone can excel at distance running, distance swimming, and distance cycling; and even more impressive when they can do these things back to back to back.

    But there's more to the increased profile of the triathlon than just being impressive to other people. People gai ...

  • Can Trading Profit And Trading Fear Go Hand In Hand?
    By: Terry Leslie | - Fear can be a rather useful emotion, and in many cases fear prevents us from doing things that are otherwise unhealthy for us in one way or another.

Traders who execute based on fear often do not well at all. While fear is one of those helpful emotions when we consider taking a leap from blind decisions, fear often clouds the mind' ...

  • To The Swimming-challenged: Inability Or Fear?
    By: Yvonne Volante | - We've all met people through the years who have insisted, "I can't swim." Or, "I never learned how to swim." These people are steadfast in their claim, and they stand by it firmly. "Nope, can't swim." That's just IT.

    To most of us, this is perplexing because 1) we either were "taught" how to swim at an early age by being thrown into the water by caring but "learn-by-doing" parents, 2) we took swimming classes at some point, usually also in our youth; or, 3) we didn't think anythin ...

    By: Abraham Thomas | - Intuition was a wonderful gift. It was also an awful curse. By instantly recognizing patterns, intuition was nature's vital tool for survival. Life ceaselessly faced a train of unlimited choices and, often, baffling problems. These demanded instant decisions. An animal could not remain undecided, whether to drink water, or to eat grass. Should it be aggressive and fight, run away, or relax and accept the situation? It was intuition, which interpreted events to trigger emotions. Anger made them a ...
