Why Not Practice More Self Love? By: Carrie Saba | - When you think of the word love what comes to mind? Do you think about the people and things you care most about?

Self Awareness Is Simple By: Willie Horton | - Personal development or self improvement is all about awareness and, in particular, self awareness. But do you actually know what awareness is? Certainly, much has been written and said about it - but, all too often, the simple has been over-complicated. And, because the psychology of the normal mind means that most of us are completely unaware - or mindless - we have great difficulty understanding a concept that we have never actually experienced. So, here's a simple question - the answer to wh ...

Mindfulness: The Power To Change By: William R. Murray | - One of the first steps in positive change is self-awareness, or mindfulness. First of all, we need to be aware of what we really want and what gets in the way of achieving it. Very often the barriers to change are internal, or emotional.

Managing Emotions For Emotional Intelligence By: William R. Murray | - There is a big difference between having an emotion and it having you. You can have a feeling or you can be caught up in it. The trick is to have an awareness of the feeling. If we lack self-awareness, we are more susceptible to being caught up in a feeling. Then it runs us instead of us having it.
For example, you can be angry and handle it. Or you can be angry and get caught up in it so that you lose your good judgment and say things you regret later. We say, He los ... Tags:self-awareness, manage your emotions, emotional intelligence

Awareness And An End To Suffering By: Willie Horton | - I recently spoke to a client who told me that he was plagued by what I would describe as useless thought - feelings of inadequacy, distractions, negative thoughts, worries, even fears. The first thing that I said to him was that, at the very least, he could count himself among the horribly small percentage of people who are actually aware that they are, in fact, having useless thoughts. If psychology shows us anything at all, it is that the average so-called normal mind is dead to the world, i ...

Steps To Personal Development By: Willie Horton | - I've just received an email from a reader who tells me that, after wasting many years on "normal" living and "normal" people, she is now determined to take the necessary steps to find peace of mind, contentment, happiness and success. Her use of the word "normal" refers to many of my articles and videos which explain that, in fact, so-called normal people are crazy.

Self Awareness And Mindfulness By: jad1 | - If we think carefully there are subtle differences between self awareness and mindfulness. Self awareness gives us an understanding of what we are doing, of our strengths and weaknesses, of our likes and dislikes, of our personality, of our emotions. It is subjective.

Why Financial Freedom Is Key To Spiritual Enlightenment By: Mercedes Oestermann van Essen | - I place great importance on the subject of financial freedom. My personal tool of choice to accomplish this is trading since in my reality it is the fastest and most fascinating way to create the financial independence I desire and at the same time have the time to do the other things I enjoy.

Increasing Awareness To Achieve Personal Goals And Objectives - 1 By: Roy Thomsitt | - One of the problems of the modern Western way of life is what many describe as the pace of life. Personally, I think that pace is a misnomer in most cases. Very few people actually have a fast pace of life. For maybe a few top politicians, business men and celebrities, a fast pace of life may be a reality. For millions of ordinary people, though, it is not so much pace as a repetitive daily grind.
