London Apartments As A Base To See The Vibrant Capital By: Dominic Donaldson | - There's so much to see and do in Britain that many people are choosing to holiday here and visit one of our vibrant cities, in particular, London, rather than going abroad. The standard of London apartments is very high, so why not book a home away from home and explore some of the great attractions and wealth of experiences the capital has to offer?
If you live in a different part of the country and therefore don't have the chance to spend time in London very often, it's worth lo ... Tags:London apartments
Celebrity Wedding Venues For Fairytale Dreams By: Dominic Donaldson | - Traditionally, the wedding season is in the summer months when the bride can sport a stunning tan, and feast on salads in a bid to slim down to a size double zero as is poignantly fashionable right now. It is has also traditionally been a prime time due to favourable weather for photos.
Well, call me cynical, but today's climate changes, whether they are of man-made causes or natural fluctuations have put pay to using these reasons for a summer wedding; and quite frankly, you m ... Tags:wedding venues, venue hire, venue finder,

We are all multi-sensory beings, meaning that we all have the sensory connections through seeing, tasting, smelling, speaking, hearing and feeling. These are all separate channels that activate different parts of the brain. The more of our brain that is awakened, or activated, the more places in our bra ...

Health Success Tips - Eye Movement Desensitization/reprocessing For Post-traumatic Stress Disorder By: Ken Donaldson | - So what exactly is PTSD? It stands for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder develops after an ordeal which involves some form of trauma. The person who develops this disorder may have been harmed or harm may have happened to a loved one, or the person may have witnessed a harmful event which happened to loved ones or strangers.
Health Success Strategies - Putting Cognitive Behavior Therapy Into Obsessive Compulsive Disorder By: Ken Donaldson | - If your first thought about the title was, "That sounds boring," you might be right. If you knew that over 2 million Americans were affected and afflicted by Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and chances are you know at least one of these people, then you might be more intrigued.
But what the heck is CBT?? Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy...and it's one of the more effective and efficient methods to treat OCD.
I am always honored to go back to my old "stomping grounds" to do presentations, but even more so for this group, as most of the people connected with the WOW program are coming back to school after some major life transition.
Whether you are writing goals, to-do lists, or your life vision; healing letters to yourself or others; journaling; or just some creative expression, you make your world bigger and much clearer by using your "sword and shield": your pen and your writing tablet.
Personal Success Strategies - A Purpose Driven Life By: Ken Donaldson | - When your life purpose is directing your life, you carry out your life on purpose, rather than accidentally (gives a whole new meaning to "an accident waiting to happen").
- You live with intention and direction.
- You know who you are and what is important.
- Decisions are made easier and boundaries are more clear.
Life Success Strategies - What Is Important To You? By: Ken Donaldson | - Did you know that I like acronyms? I do (in case you didn't know) because acronyms make it easier for me to remember things, and they make for a wonderful and powerful format to present material from.
- Do you see the positive everyday?
- Are you able to "reframe" (make lemons into lemonade) circumstances in Life?
- Are you able, at the very least, to get a lesson to better yourself from each and every Life experience?
Vision is at the foundation of your Life. Vision gives your Life a target to aim for. And that target represents everything you want to do, be and have in your life.
Life Success Strategies - The Zen Of Flow And The River Of Life By: Ken Donaldson | - Life is like a river. It has it's own flow and direction. There are rapids and falls, as well as peaceful pools. Some places are narrow and some are very wide. Sometimes it goes fast and others times it hardly moves at all. But rivers are always in some movement.
You cannot push a river to make it go any faster, nor can you slow it down or stop it. So perhaps our primary task in life is to learn how to effectively navigate this river...and, of course, to enjoy the trip as we flow ... Tags:Ken Donaldson, flow, planning, setting goals
Personal Success Strategies - What A Difference A Coach Makes By: Ken Donaldson | - In being a resident of the Tampa Bay area since 1979 I have had front line exposure to the highs and sometimes lows of our local professional football team, the Buccaneers. However, in 2003, for the first time in team history, the Bucs went to the Super Bowl.
This was also the first year that the team had John Gruden as their coach.
Do you think that was a coincidence? Probably not.
Life Success Strategies - The Shoe Story By: Ken Donaldson | - I have a shoe story I'd like to share with you. I found this "bargain" just the other day. The highest quality brand of comfortable shoes that I ever wear at an amazing price. The style and the color were just what I was looking for.
At first when I found them on the shelf I thought there must be some mistake on the price. I put them on (only one because the other had a security tag on it that wouldn't allow my foot to go in) and took it for a quick spin up and down the aisle. Tags:Ken Donaldson, personal foundation
Life Success Strategies - Donuts, Addiction, And The Meaning Of Life By: Ken Donaldson | - I bet you are wondering about the thread here, aren't you? Quite frankly, now that I have written it, I am feeling a bit stretched to connect the dots in this title, but here I go...
I have a theory about Life: my theory is we are all born as donuts. Our purpose in life is to find our donut hole. The space of the donut hole is symbolic of our own personal and unique life purpose...in other words, our Calling. When we find this purpose and live it, we feel whole and complete.
I was talking with my good friend Tom the other day and the topic of "choice vs. chance" came up. Tom is a sports psychology coach who has an extensive history of working with professional baseball players to improve their "mental game".
Personal Success Strategies - Don't Let Your Barometer Direct Your Compass By: Ken Donaldson | - A barometer is a device used to measure atmospheric pressure. This pressure change helps weather forecasters predict what weather conditions might be forthcoming. A compass, on the other hand, is used to determine direction.
Since our North Pole has a natural magnetic pull to it, the needle of a compass will always point in that direction. And so at this point you may wonder where it is that I am going with this. Let us continue...
Relationship Success Strategies - Father's Day By: Ken Donaldson | - My dad woke up one morning feeling "Not quite right and a bit wobbly". He's a strong-willed, tenacious, non-complainer so he figured it was just part of being 80 years old.
After a few days of lingering effects, he decided to go see his doctor. He called the office and was told they had an appointment opening in ten minutes. He took it knowing that my mom had their car and he would need to ride his bike a mile to the clinic.
Life Success Strategies - Bullfighting, Rabbit-chasing And Wrestling With Pigs By: Ken Donaldson | - I once gave a presentation entitled, How to Win Over Difficult Prospects, and as I was preparing this Bullfighting, Rabbit-Chasing and Wrestling With Pigs metaphor synchronistically and serendipitously appeared.
Funny how those little manifestations occur when you're working diligently at creating something...an example of the Law of Attraction in Action!
So, let me ask you a question: What are the three most important elements of successful relationships? Boundaries, boundaries, and boundaries.
And that would mean first of all, the "internal" boundaries that you have with yourself, as well as the proactive boundaries of assertive behavior that you have with others, ... Tags:Ken Donaldson, boundaries, choice, personal development, assertiveness
"Take your work in life seriously...take yourself lightly." - C.W. Metcalf, author of Lighten Up.
"A merry heart makes a good medicine..." - Old Hebrew Proverb.
Did you figure out the answer to the riddle? The words human and humor both start with the prefix "hum" which comes from the Latin term that means "to be flexible and fluid".
I believe we are all very similar to trees in a metaphorical sense. We have our "fruit", which are our results. These results are based on our behaviors in that our behaviors, or actions, are what create our results.
We have feelings and emotions, which are like the branches that carry the fruit. It is our emotions (e-motion = "energy in motion") that motivates us (or not) into action.
Personal Success Tips - The Abc's Of Success By: Ken Donaldson | - I like to make things simple, like the ABC's. It makes it easier for me to remember and therefore, live that way in my life. I'd like to share my ABC model with you.
A stands for Attraction; more specifically the Law of Attraction.
The Law of Attraction states that like energies attract each other. Positive attracts positive and negative attracts negative.
Personal Success Tip - Self Talk - Whose Voice Is That? By: Ken Donaldson | - No; I'm not hearing voices...very much, at least. However, I do have a question for you: How do you manage that little voice inside your head? Now if you're thinking, "What little voice is he talking about?" that would be the little voice right there!
You know, that voice that tries to convince you that something is too hard, or too painful, or too embarrassing or too risky.
